Finding The Real Me

Chapter 55

David

"Arena we need to talk" I said after a few minutes of silence. "...yeah okay" she said and I went over and sat down next to her. I looked at the river for a few seconds and so did she.

"So what's wrong Arena?" "I couldn't sleep, my parents were fighting again." "Still?" I asked. "Yeah I thought after Max...they would stop but it's just gotten worse."

"Do they always fight at night?" She nodded her head "and because of it I can't sleep at night, that's why I'm here." "I see, so what else is there?" "Nothing that's it..."

"Arena I'm not stupid." "Nothing else is wrong David." "Why do you keep lying about it?" Arena didn't say anything so I went on. "you've been avoiding me Arena, I want to know why."

"I haven't been avoiding you." "Yeah that's why you haven't been talk to me ever since you decided to stay with Travis." "I've talk to you." "Very rarely Arena."

Arena wasn't answering and she was looking away from me now. "What did you mean by I would get hurt Arena?" "I can't tell you David." "Why not Arena!" I yelled loosing my patience.

"Because if I do Travis will tell everyone that your the reason why your mom died." "What are you talking about Arena?" Then she explained what happened the night with Travis.

"That Ass hole! Just wait until I see him tomorrow I'm going to beat him a good one!" "No you can't say anything to him!" "Im not going to let him treat you like this Arena!"

"You have to!" She yelled and then she grabbed my arm. I felt her shaking "I can't let you go through all that, especially now I known how it feels to loss someone."

I grabbed her hand and she looked at me. "And I don't want to loss another day being with you." She looked at me shocked "but your mom..." "It doesn't matter what they say, I know what happened and that's all that matters."

I stood up and helped her up "come on I'll take you home, tomorrow we put everything behind us and start over." "Yeah okay, but promise me you won't beat up Travis."

"I can't make that promise." "David..." "He deserves it Arena!" "David!" I sighed "fine I promise not to beat him up." "Thanks you." "Let's go before your parents find out you snuck out."

I grabbed her hand and lead her to my car. I swear this one is such a hand full sometimes.
