What Happened? (Rewrite)

Double Meaning

Bella Reace POV:

We are currently sitting at the dining room table, passing the food around and filling our plates. There are small conversations going on but nothing real big right now.

Then Janie looks over at me and asks me,"Reace what do you plan on doing when you are older?" I honestly don't know how to answer the question. I know what I will be doing but I don't know what I am allowed to say. I look at my mom and thank god she stepped in and answered for me.

"She plans to go to college for health and fitness," she says quickly, she then goes on, "what about you Blake?" He just looks at his mom and shakes his head. I just assume that he doesn't know what he wants to do and start eating the food my mom made. Everyone else follows my lead and eats too. The only sounds are the silverware hitting the plates and delivering the food to our mouths.

When we are almost done eating, I get up to start clearing the table. My mom gave a thankful nod and kept talking to her long time friend. When they finished dinner the only one to stay in the dining room was Blake. His eyes were following my every move. After watching me for a few minutes he stands and takes some dishes from the table to the kitchen.

Once all of the dishes are on the counter by the sink Blake starts running dish water. "Why are you doing that?" I as quietly, still having to keep up a little bit of my 'good girl' appearance. He doesn't answer, he just keeps filling the sink until it is full.

Then he turns and says, "because a pretty girl like you shouldn't have to do this alone." I didn't know what he was referring to but I have a feeling that it has more to do with more than dishes.

Blake POV:

Once Bella Reace is done, which was before everyone else, she starts to clear the table off. She is so careful and light on her feet. She is so much different here, she acts like she could beat me down. That and her mom said that she was going to college for health and fitness, but I have never seen Reace in a PE class.

I finish eating and just sit at the table and watch Bella Reace. She is graceful, and light on her feet, like she was a dancer or something like that. She moves with little sound, even with dishes in her incredibly small hands. I have a feeling that she is hiding something, but I don't have any ideas on what it could be. After a few minutes I get up and grab some dishes from the table. There is a surprising amount of dishes, for four people. After the table is cleared off I start running dish water.

I have been thinking, why did Bella Reace look to her mom when asked what she was planning for after high school. It makes me wonder about that picture I saw in her room, who was that guy? And it also makes me think about what I am going to be doing after high school. Mom and I haven't really talked about what I'm doing because it makes her uncomfortable. I don't really know why it would though, her and Hunny were the ones that started this. This is their legacy and one day it will be Bella Reace and I will have it.

Then I hear Reace say, "why are you helping me?" And at first I didn't know how to answer. Why was I helping her? Was it just so I could get to know her? Or because I am overwhelmingly curious about her? But in the end I say, "because a pretty girl like you shouldn't have to do this alone."
