I didn't want to seat on the rug even though it looked expensive enough to pay my rent. Kale sat next to me on the couch after introducing me to the little group as soon they started playing straw or whatever they call it. But you have to pass straws with your mouths to the next person.
"Stormy your in?" A blue head girl asked me. What is it with Kale having coloured hair friends like him. I shook my head. Only Scott seems normal. In the hair aspect.
"Come on. It'd be fun" Cop said. I was beginning to wonder when he'd say something. He had his hair whiter and added a few rings to his face.
"I'm good" I said placing my hands on my legs. I stared at Kim and she snorted before wrapping her arms round Scotts arm and he didn't even make a move to move her away. I winced feeling sick to my stomach.
"All you have to do is pass the straw with your mouth" Cop grinned.
"She's not playing"
Scott placed his hands on my thighs the moment we got into his car. I sent a quick message to Anna telling her I'd left and that I'm alright. Scott started the car and we were off to who knows where?I'm hoping he takes us to his apartment cause I need to be alone with him tonight. I fear Anna might come back to the house and I don't want her asking me questions."Storm" Scotts voice broke through the silence in the car."Where do you want us to go?" He asked softly. His voice was a direct contrast of the one he was using some few minutes, back at Escala. I was wondering what changed but I guess we've both had a long evening and the weight of it is downing on our shoulders now.I just want to be alone with Scott. To kiss him, to hold him. Even though I don't know where we stand right now."Your place""My place it is" he did a sharp bend I feared he'd topple us over. But h
I woke up from the heat of the blanket over me. I Rememberd Scott had turned the heater on when we arrived last night. I struggled to move but was stuck. It wasn't the blanket but Scott. He was laying on me with his head on my stomach. I ran my hands through his hair.His hands gripped my waist as I tried to wiggle out of his hold. I need to use the bathroom quick and have a glass of water. Probably, turn the heat down a little bit. Scott wasn't sweating cause he wasn't the one suffocating just now. I pulled his hand away softly before i was able to crawl out of bed.Last night, Scott poured his heart out to me. Well, not all of his heart cause he didn't say he loves me. Not yet and I don't know if he ever will but I'm content with what I have with him right now.It's better than nothing. And I'd rather have Scott say hurtful things to me every day than have to stay a week or two without
I asked so I just kept my cool. But one of these days, I'll press everything I want and need to know out of him. Including his dreadful nightmares he said he has from time to time. It was also nice to know he doesn't have them when I'm around and he sleeps like a baby.I squirted toothpaste all over my brush before pastering it to my teeth. I'm still at Scott's. I didn't leave last night cause he promised to drop me very early at school but now he's still in bed.I thought about splashing him some cold water to get up but as quickly as that thought came, it varnished.When I got back to the room, my phone buzzed on the nightstand so I picked it up to see a message from my mom and David. I decided to read my mom's own later and read David's own now.I need to call my mom cause I haven't spoken to her in like forever and I know she misses me. Gosh I'm terrible at being a good daughter.C
*Songs for this chapter*Say something by a great big worldBroken hearts club by GnashGoing numb by Aash MehtaMoral of the story by AsheBruises by Lewis Capildi*******I took steps away from Kale when I noticed the murderous glare Scott was shooting at him, daring him to touch me again. This is not happening again. They're friends and they need to get along. I hate to believe this is all my fault."Scott" I whimpered."Get inside" he said coldly and harshly. He opened the door for me to get in and I got in silently.He shared one more look with Kale who looked unphased by his glare. Scott got in next to me and I expected nothing less than an ear
"you can stay here as long as you want dear" Elle said. We were both in the kitchen and I was teaching her one of my infamous way of baking.I smiled at her."You can also help me work on my greenhouse" she said and then leaned in close to me. "David is doing a shitty job at helping" she grinned and I chuckled."That's not true. I'm sure he's very helpful""Yeah. For carrying buckets around but not planting" she said and we both laughed.I haven't seen Carter around and David said he was still at work. I didn't ask what work he does cause I don't want to pry. I've pried enough already."At least David is helpful. I'm sure Scott can't lift a bug" She said with a smile and my mood was instantly soured. She realised her lack of sensitivity and closed her mouth. I told Elle everything that happened. Excluding the part where he said I should fuck Kale. I cringed.
Scott POVShe left! I told her I love her and she left. She just got into that car and walked away. I squeezed my hands tight so I don't run after the car and lessen the tires. I'm mad that she left just right after I confessed I love her and I'm also slightly mad at myself for saying that in front of my friends.Now, they're all looking at me like I have two heads. Fuck! So much for being a fuck boy.I noticed Kale walking toward me. "Don't even say a word" I tell him and he shrinks back. I've got to find her. I need to hear what she has to say.I know she already told me I'm late but I don't believe that. I could see the longing in her eyes when I told her I love her. She doesn't have me fooled. She loves me too. I know."What was that about, Scott" Kim ruptured! I don't even have time for her nonsense right now either."Aren't
I stood in the doorway to Scott's room which as Elle said, was opposite mine. Scott was sitting on the bed with his face pressed against his palms. He was shirtless but in loose pants. I knocked twice on the door and his head snapped up.They looked hopeful when they saw me standing there but I wasn't still ready to promise him anything until I know what this his new habit is about. I walked into the room and shut the door behind me."Let me see your hand" I said and sat next to him. I had noticed the cloth he wrapped around it when he walked in and he'd tried to hide it from me throughout dinner."It's nothing" he mumbled."It's either I see or I leave" I said and hoped he didn't say Leave. Cause I'm sure he's capable of doing anything at anytime. But instead, he looked defeated as he raised his hand to me. I uncovered the clothe to find his knuckles busted."How did this happen?"
I thought I was completely at sleep until I heard a strangled scream from across the hall. I jerked out of bed and got to my feet while listening for that scream to come again."Please! Help!"Scott! The voice was coming from his room. He was having a nightmare again. I remember the last time was when we were at his loft. Seriously, I thought it stopped. I was thankful he didn't lock the door as I rushed into the room and I gasped at the sight in front of me.Scott was sweating and his legs tangled up in the sheets. A crease formed on his brows while his lips parted. I found myself hovering over him and brushing his sticky hair away from his face."Wake up, Scott. It's just a dream" I said to him and his eyes snapped opened. I thought he was going to scream or do something silly but to my surprise, he pulled me by my waist and dragged me to his side. He tucked his hands beneath my head and the other went r
