Fly Before You Fall

Chapter 25

Chris POV

I wake up and D wasn't in my arms. Wow...well I guess that kind of-

D- I knew you was gonna leave so I waited for ya creeping ass.

She laughs. She was outside my door.

Gina- its to early for you to be up.

D- I had to see the ghost of the night make her escape.

Gina- (laughs) whatever. I'm gonna take Jessie home.

D- of course you will. Hey Jess

Jess- mmm.

Gina- shut up chick. (Reffering to D) I'll write you later...cmon jess.

D- bye bye.

I hear their feet head downstairs.

Gina- oh and thank Chris for me!

D- with that voice you prolly told him ya self.

Gina laughs and the front door closes.

Now sierra had a choice. Would she go to her room or-

I hear her room door close...wow. But then-

My door opens and I shut my eyes and try to pretend to go back to sleep. I hear D walk over to me and she gets back in the bed. She cradles into my chest and I turn onto my back. I pretend to stretch and I see her smile.

Me- what time is it?

D- 7 something. Go back to sleep.

I turn onto my side and face her. She snuggles into my chest and I put my hand on the top of her head.

Me- night .

D- mhm.

We hold each other till we fall asleep again.

A few hours later...

D- you up?

Me- I been up. You was sleeping.

D- what?!

I open my eyes and I see her looking up at me. A smile spreads across my face so a smile spreads across hers.

D- I got up already. When did you get up?

Me- (smile) I went to pee like an hour ago.

D- you a lie.

We both smile and she looks back down and plays with her fingers. I want to kiss her. I want to use my index finger to tilt her head up and give her a morning kiss. I just didn't want her running off again. And what if she had morning breath I shake my head and laugh lightly.

She looks back up at me and I look up at the ceiling.

D- Chris...tell me about ya first love.

I srunch my face up. I slowly look down at her.

Me- why?

She shrugs.

D- just do it. Pweez.

I look back up at the ceiling, avoiding her pout.

Me- no. I'm not gonna. What's it gonna do?...

We stay quiet. I did get a little agitated. I didn't wanna talk about Robyn. D shifts in my arms a little. I just try to hold her closer.

D- I gotta pee.

Me- no you don't...(I take a breath).. Her name was Robyn. We met when I was 11 and she was 12. We went to the same middle school in VA. She was in 7th grade when I was in 6th. Anyway we got together later in the year. Somewhere in 7th grade I told her I loved her. I meant it too. She was my everything. My mother got involved with the guy somewhere in between my 7th grade year. He use to beat on her and I would get so angry. One time I jumped in and tried to help her but I just ended up in the hospital. My mother made me stay with my aunt after that. I love my aunt but I wanted my moms. You know?
