The Changes In Our Moments

•chapter 9•

My alarm buzzes in my hand, oh my god did I fall asleep talking to Andrew?
I look at my previous call, we hung up 3 hours ago. He must've hung up.
I run downstairs, and my phone falls out of my hand as it starts vibrating
"Hello?" I respond through my phone
Giavanna starts talking, "hey girly, I got grounded from my car and Camden can't pick me up. Mind dropping by?"
I laugh, "fineee."
She laughs harder than I did, "thanks, see you then. Love you." She kisses through the phone then disconnects me.
I head into the shower and put on a pair of blue, brown, black, and white leggings. a t-shirt saying 'fresh' in bold in the middle. I put a sparkling headband on and put my hair up into a bun. I slide on my sperries, or my babies as I call them and head over to the coffee shop picking up two lattes with extra cream, and I head over to Giavanna's.
She is waiting outside, wearing a purple sweater, black and white leggings, and her boots with her hair down.
She hops in and smuggles her latte, finishing it as we arrive at school. I pull my bag from the back and we head inside, she is greeted by kisses and an arm pushed around her by Camden as I am greeted with a hey by camden. how wonderful.
I turn a corner heading to my locker to see Andrew and Caroline passing each other and she kisses him on the cheek, guess they never did break up.
He doesn't have a reaction though, he just pulls away, a little bit, uncertain I guess. I walk straight, so I don't look like I'm staring.
I grab my Algebra book, I take Algebra 1. I walk past a small entering because I found a short cut last time, I come to see Caroline and one of Andrew's friends exchanging siliva, gross. what a brat. I can't believe she would do that to Andrew.
I pull out my phone and take a quick picture, I don't know if I can show Andrew though.
I move into the room, sitting next to Camden and Giavanna. Andrew plumps down next to me, on his otherside is Caroline.
I sort of fall asleep during class, thinking of Andrew. The rest of the day passes by, except a lot of suspensions happen. It's all pretty normal other than that.
Camden takes Giavanna home, or back to his place I don't remember which he said and I head home. I make myself chicken and corn and then I head up to my room, and finish some homework, while watching 'Judge Judy.'
--------------------- ------- --------------------------
Around 6:30 my phone is buzzing, it's Andrew.
I hesitate to answer, but it could be important; and it is.
"Hello?" I say nervously.
"Hey! Umm my parents are fighting and they told me to go and stay at Camden's for the night, but him and Giavanna are going ice skating and stuff.." He says slowly.
"You can crash here." I say quickly, I need to stop being so nice.
"Thankyou so much!" He says.
About 20 minutes later, I get a knock on the door and Andrew shows up with his school stuff and bag.
"Hey, thanks again." He states
I nod shutting the door behind him.
"The guest room is upstairs, across the hall from my room." I say looking at the ground.
I run upstairs to my room, and put all my school stuff away. I walk to his room, "are you hungry?" I ask. He responds by shaking his head.
"Do you need anything?" I ask.
He shakes his head.
I walk back to my room, taking a glimpse of the picture of my mother. I feel tear after tear fall down my cheek, a familiar voice speaks to me
"Are you okay?" Andrew asks.
I shake my head, " im alone. my mom is dead, my dad is trying to kill me."
He opens his eyes so wide, I swear his eyeballs were gonna fall out.
I sit on my bed which he follows me towards and tell him the story. I finish balling and instead of saying anything he brings me into a tight hug, and I hug him back.
"I will protect you." He states.
I shake my head, "I don't want you involved." I cry harder and cough, "you don't deserve it." I finish.
He rolls his eyes, "I don't care. You don't deserve it." He says.
He purses his lips, " come on. why don't we talk about something else."
I stop him, oh no what am I doing.
"Wait," I pause and hesitate, "there is something you need to know."
He raises his eyebrow and I grab my phone and switch on the picture.
He takes the phone from my hand and I begin explaining
"That was today, before Algebra." I mutter
"I'm sorry Andrew." He interrupts me by shaking his head, then adding "it doesn't matter." I don't even hesitate, "it matters." I say.
He smiles, "im fine Bree, I swear. Let's just get our mind off things and play truth or dare or something."
I smile and nod, he deserves at least that..
He smirks at me, "truth or dare?" I shake my head and smile
"Truth."
"When was your first kiss and where?"
I shake my head.
"Never had mine, never had time either." I laugh. I never realized how bad I wanted one.
I can tell he is thinking something I squint my eyebrows and look at him "what?" I question him.
"Nothing just. Just that." He states, he won't spit it out.
I raise my eyebrows higher.
He finally spits it out making eye contact with me, "you deserve to have your first kiss before your 17 at least and with someone who cares about you and loves you." He says smiling.
I back up "okay..?"
He smiles, "im going to kiss you."
I shake my head, "you have a girlfriend, and anyways you basically just got out of that relationship." I state.
He smiles, "it's okay Bree." He smiles
He leans in and I relax and do the same.
Finally our lips touch, he kisses me with passion and a small smile. He moves with my lips in perfect unison, how am I doing this right? I relax my shoulders. It feels like 2 hours although it's not even 35 seconds. I am the first to release and he smiles at me, I hug him and mumble a "thank you" as he smiles and lays his chin on me head.
If only it was real.
We fall asleep watching CSI: Miami and he lays way on the other side of my bed, he wasn't supposed to sleep there though. I honestly didn't mind.
