Chapter 4

Laroi? What is he doing here?

"Can I come in?"

"Uhh, s-sure?"

I slightly move out the door way so he can come in and I close the door behind him and go back to laying on part of my bed as he semi-sits in a grey sweatsuit, next to me and looks at me for a second before he starts talking.

"What was that out there?"

"Nothing."

"It doesn't seem like nothing. You know no one's ever seen him cry? Or someone else actually get as mad or just mad in general at him."

"Well now you guys have."

"What was he talking about? Him and Skies?"

"Nothing, its for another time."

"Now's another time."

"You don't even know me Laroi. Why's it matter to you?"

"Cause you matter to me."

"Wha-"

"Me and the others would see you when you and your brother would FaceTime and over time I guess I've started liking you. I didn't think I'd have any chance considering who you're related to and plus like you've said, I guess I don't know you that well but I'd like to."

I just look at him through my red and swollen eyes. I can't believe that he just...confessed basically? Is this even really happening right now? It doesn't seem real honestly. I suddenly hear snapping in front of me and zone back in and focus back on Laroi.

"You there?"

"Y-yeah, I'm sorry."

"I know what I said was very abrupt and very out there and overwhelming, considering what just went down and also that you just got here. I should probably go-" and he starts to get up.

"No! I-I mean no, don't go."

I grab out for his hand and grab his wrist instead. I'm not gonna let him go after confessing and I like him as well. I weakly pull him back to where he was sitting on my bed and sit up to be face to face with him.

"I umm...I like you as well..."

"Wait, really?"

"Yeah, I know I may not really know you that much and everything but from what I've seen, I've started to like you like how you started liking me."

"Well what does this now make us?"

"Well I don't know...we can't make things official yet though. You just got here, we need to actually get to know each other and plus your brother and what just happened down there."

"I can definitely agree with you on that."

"Do you want me to stick with you for today?"

"I'd like that very much, yeah."

"Alright. Let's go." he says as he gets up.

"Where are we going?"

"Out for breakfast, it's still pretty early and I think some food after crying as hard as you were would help you out a little."

I lightly smile at him and then it drops.

"I need to fix myself up. I look horrible."

"No you don't you look fine."

"But-"

"You know what, sit up right and where are your makeup wipes?"

I get off my bed really quick and grab my makeup wipes from out of my bag since I haven't finished unpacking because everything isn't here yet and toss them to him. He points to the edge of my bed.

"Sit."

I do as he says even though I don't appreciate his tone. He takes off my glasses and starts wiping my face and I blush slightly at his actions. When he's done, he toss the used wipe in the mini trashcan next to my door that I hadn't recognized til now and then put my glasses back on for me.

"There, even better."

"Oh shut up, you're so corny." I say laughing as I throw a pillow at him. I get up and I'm about to fix my hair when he pulls my arms down.

"I said you look fine, wear it down today."

"But it goes over my eyes and everything, my hair is big and-"

"Amaris, respectfully? Shut up. You can put on perfume, lip gloss and anything else like that but other than that? We're leaving."

"Alright, just hold on."

He goes over and semi-lays on my bed again as he watches me freshen up a bit. I put on my usual vanilla lotion and perfume and then some deodorant just for precaution and then some lip gloss. I slip on my white forces and grab my phone and a mask ( to hid my identity if needed.) I adjust my necklaces and my hoops and look at him.

"I'm ready."

"Alright great, you smell nice by the way. I like it."

"T-thank you."

We both head out my room to the main front room in me and Laroi's 'section' when we bump into someone. Jah. I quickly grab Laroi's hand and start running with him along side me. We run down the stairs and stumble a little causing us to fall on our backs at the bottom of the stairs. Then comes Iann come running over to us.

"Are you guys okay? Why're you running and also why're you matching sort of?'

I look over at him and he looks over at me and as soon as we make eye contact, we burst out laughing.

"W-what is so funny? Are you two gonna answer my questions?"

I quickly get up and intertwine my fingers with his on without realizing it, pull him up and run with him outside the house front door.

"Where're we going?"

"Here, let's get in my car."

We run across the street over to my old-school styled car. Its a candy orange car with no roof. I jump over the door into the driver's seat and Laroi does the same into the passenger seat. I start up the car and pull off, leaving the new house behind us. When we get far enough, I slow down and look over at him.

"So where do you want to go?"

"Here, switch me seats. I'll drive us somewhere."

"Alright, let me pull over."

We quickly pull over to the side of the road and switch seats. He starts the car back up and we're off.
