Too Close| r.bibby

Chapter 21

Lydia's POV

I didn't move. But I sat close to Reece. He looked up at me from under my lashes. I sigh and shift my weight and begin to stand. Nodding to him I get up and walk to the door. But before I do my back meets the door.

Reece's face hovers hovered over mine. His breath was hot. But his lips were soft as they met mine. My hands dove to his hair, I was sure that Reece wouldn't hurt me, but at the same time I needed to stop. For my own sanity. I pulled my head down and he sighed. Resting his head upon mine.

"Sorry." I whisper and he chuckles.

"Don't be." That made me smile and I grabbed his hand. Pulling him lightly because he doesn't walk as fast as I do. But at the same time I didn't want to do this. I just wanted to go back in bed with Reece.

"Guys. Can we talk to you." Reece says as we walk in. They nod and pause that game. I sigh and take a seat. Reece next to me close. I clutch his hand like a life persevere.

"I- ummm. Geez." I speak trying to explain but fail. Reece runs his thumbs across mine repetitively. I smile.

"I was- well when I went out to get coffee." I stammer a bit and Reece looks at me and tells me to calm a bit. I nod and take a deep breath.

"I wasn't late because of the rain. The rain didn't keep me at the coffee shop. I wasn't even at the coffee shop." I say just above a whisper.

My eyes shut tight and on my other side is Charlie who puts a hand on my knee. I shake a bit and Reece hits his hand. When I open my eyes to talk Charlie's hands are in his lap and he looks sad. Like he did something he regrets. I smile at him. He smiles weakly.

"I was walking home and I was- I" I stammer a bit and try not to cry.

"I was r- raped coming home." I say and no one says a thing. No one moves then Jake stands and leaves. I sigh. Casey comments before going after him.

"He's not mad at you. He just doesn't want to do something he'll regret." Then runs off after his best friend. I look at James, Barclay and Tom.

"We'll kill 'm." Tom says. Everyone seems to agree but is shocked. Toms the sensible one. If he can't keep his cool then everything falls apart.

"Tom." Barclay says to him and Tom sighs.

"Right right. Well not that extreme but we are gunna find this-"

"Tom." Barclay scolds him and Tom sighs.

"Right. We're gunna find him and he's gonna get it trouble." Tom says and all the boys agree. I smile weakly.

"Thanks guys." I whisper and the they all look at each other. Before they all jump on I me for a group hug.
