Not the right guy

Chapter 13

Thane POV

I was standing by my car as Alex drove away. That stunt she pulled was brilliant. Seth was so embarrassed. He and Kyle are coming to my house to hang out and talk about Destiny I presume.
I drove up to my house with Kyle in the passenger seat. My house is 4 stories and a beautiful garden leading up to the house. My family was pretty well-off but we weren't rich yet. Seth was already waiting in my room when Kyle and I came.

“Dude, what took you so long. I have been waiting here for forever.”

“Maybe we just don't speed” Kyle said. “You and Destiny really hit it off. What's up with that?”

“I don't know. She is just different ya know.”

“No I don't know. I don't really like girls at all,” Kyle said.

“What about Thane and Alex? I don't think that we flirted as much as they did” Seth said winking.

“Yeah I really like her but I think that she just wants to be friends with what happened to her.”

“But, dude, you are different then Colton. He is a jerk and you... well never mind,” Seth said.

“I am so much better than that dog, it's not even funny to joke about.”

“Great, Alex ruined him. Now he is not swearing at all.”

“I wouldn't say ruined, but changed” Kyle said.

“Thank you, Kyle. Besides, try spending more time with Destiny and not change.” Kyle grunted in agreement.

“No girl is gonna change me.”

“Oh really? So you want to break her heart just like all your other girlfriends?”

“Well no but--”

“See, she has already changed you.”

“Whatever, lets just play.”

We spent the next hour playing halo. Someone rang the door bell.

“Seth, go get it.”

“Dude it's your house.”

“Fine.” I paused the game and opened the door.

“Stefanie what are you doing here?”Stefanie is my ex. I broke up with her after she cheated on me.

“I am so sorry; my car broke down.”

“Right outside my house, really?” I said sarcastically.

“Yes, can you please come help me?” Stefanie has never got sarcasm. Or anything really.

“Get lost” I said as I closed the door. The bell eminently rang again.

“Seth, will you go check her car?”

“Fine, but you're the best with cars.” He stood up and walked to the door.

“I have a feeling that it will start right up.” Seeing her again brought up old painful memories. I didn't think that I could ever trust a girl again. When I got to know Alex I knew that she was different from all the girls that I had ever dated. I know that I can trust her.

***

It's Monday. I probably should be doing home work but I can't take my mind off Stefanie. Alex is usually my escape from the world (hey it's better than drugs) but I have already tried her cell twice. That's strange for Alex; she usually answers on my first try. I call her house phone out of curiosity.

“Hello?” A girls voice said.

“Hi, is Alex there?”

“Depends on who's asking.”

“It's Thane.”

“Oh is this the hottie Alex is always texting?”

“Yup thats me.”

“Well then she is at her park.”

“What?”

“The park two blocks from our house.”

“Oh well Thanks. You don't have to tell her I called.” Why am I saying that? I am an idiot.

“Actually I think you should go see her. I think she needs you there.”

“Okay thanks....”

“It's Anya”

“Alright thanks, Anya.”

When I drove up Alex didn't look up from her swinging. I don't even think she noticed. She looked so peaceful. Her hair blowing back a forth. You could tell that she is a dancer because she pointed her toes gracefully. Why do the perfect people always get broken?

“You look like a little child,” I said walking up.

“And you're starting to look like a stocker. How did you know I was here?”

“ I tried calling you three hours ago. You didn't answer so I called you house phone. Your sister said you would be here.... It's a beautiful place.

“Yeah this is my favorite place to think.” I sat down in the swing beside her. “Who's the little kid now?”

“Oh shut up Alex.” she smirked. The metal of the chains are cold and hard against my skin. I can see why she likes it. Looking up at the sky and seeing the leaves falling it is really relaxing. How long has she been swinging? I got up, stopped her swing and took her hands. They were red and raw from swinging.

“You should stop hurting yourself.”

“Hey this I better then cuts.”

“Don't even joke about that” I said. This girl scares me sometimes. I roll up her sleeves and looked for any signs of cuts.

“Can't you trust me a little? I am not depressed. It's just that I have a lot on my mind.”

“I'll trust you when you trust me.” I said looking in her beautiful green eyes.

“I do trust you, Thane.” We are so close. Our faces only inches apart. I touched her pink cold cheek and it sent electrifying tingles though my hand. Being this close to her and knowing that it means almost nothing to her is like opening a fresh wound. She shook from the cold.

“Come on shortstop, lets get you home” I said grabbing her small hands gently. Even that almost made her wince in pain.ok for any signs of cuts.
