Little Lady

Chapter 6

***A familiar body stood in the door frame and I looked away. "Amanda? Amanda tell me whats wrong."***

***Ed's POV***

I walked into Amandas room after hearing her crying. I could hear her from her yard so something must be wrong. I just wasn't expecting to see what I saw.

I walked into her bathroom and saw her collapsed on the bathroom floor next to the toilet that was filled with vomit. She was crying and I just wanted to know what happened.

"Amanda? Amanda tell me whats wrong." I demanded an answer, but instead of her telling me what happened she just broke out into more violent sobs.

I walked over and sat next to her and wrapped my arms around her skinny waist. She finally stopped after a couple minutes and spoke.

"Ed," She started,but paused to take a deep breath."Ed, I have another secret. I've had an eating disorder because of Dan for the past 2 years. I'm sorry." She finished barely audible.

I don't know what I exactly feel about this news,but I know one thing for sure. If I hadn't killed Dan, he would've eventually made her kill herself. I always thought that she didn't eat enough, and others at school had noticed and always made fun of her,but i would take care of them. And she always acted strange around me, but I always pushed it aside and put it off not wanting to make her tell me what she's thinking and what's wrong.

Well now I know, and I can't even look at her or else I might burst into tears as well.

"Amanda I would never be angry, I'm just shocked a bit that's all." I said hugging her more tightly.

There was a silence for about five minutes but we just stayed there,together. But i had no complaints. In that time I just thought about Amanda. How we met, old conversations we had but I will never forget, her facial features, each of her birthdays, and when we first kissed.

That was my favorite memory with her. We had just talked and talked one day in the summer and we had both leaned in but she hesitated and she asked me over and over how I felt for her but I always said "it's mutual" but that was the biggest lie I've told to anyone, ever. So from telling her that she lead the kiss and I felt sparks fly, but I didn't want to tell her how i really felt be cause I didnt want to end up breaking her heart. I couldnt do that to a girl.

I finally got up and lent a hand for Amanda which she took almost immediately, and I led her to her bedroom.

"Is this all?" I asked motioning towards her suitcase.

"Yeah" she whispered,while wipping her eyes dry.

I picked up her bag and headed towards the stairs when she stopped me at the doorway and turned me around so our foreheads were touching.

"Thank you, for everything." she whispered getting closer and closer.

I kissed her in response and she accepted it. She pulled away first with a slight smile on her face which made me grin. She could always do that,make me smile just from seeing her happy.

I grabbed her hand and we walked downstairs. We walked through the entryway and Dan's body had been removed and the ambulance was leaving with no sirens. We walked around the outline on the floor and outside. We put our heads down and our sunglasses on and walked past the reporters. I put Amanda's bags into the boot of my mum's car and we both got in the backseat like before.

The car ride was silent with the occasional conversation starter from mum, but it never went anywhere.

When we got home I grabbed Amanda's bags and took her hand in mine. We walked in and I set her bags down.

"So for now, I'll sleep on the couch and you can have my bed." I suggested.

"No Ed, I'll stay on the couch," she tried to intrude.

"No I won't let you do that. Your staying in my bed and that's final." I demanded slightly annoyed by her stubbornness.

"Fine, but your not sleeping on the couch."

"Where should I sleep then? With the cat?"

"No, with me." She said sweetly and innocently.

"Alright, I'm good with that." I said with a cheeky smile on my face.

We headed upstairs to my room an plopped down on my bed at the same time. After a couple minutes she got up and headed to the bathroom and I decided to trail behind her. She went to the mirror and checked out her jaw. I wrapped my arm around her waist and nuzzled my head in the crook of her neck.

"It'll get better now, I promise." I mumbled.

"I know but it's still here, and will always be here and give me bad memories." She responded.

"Then we'll just have to make more good memories to replace them." I said with a grin on my face.

"Yeah, I guess we live and we forget." She said.

"Yeah" I said and dragged her back into the bedroom and under the covers. She cuddled up into my chest and she fell asleep right away. I have a feeling I'm going to like living this way for now on.
