Confessions

Chapter 38

Robert and I came back from an amazing restaurant , we bickered back and forth, who would pay for the meal. I offered to at least pay for the tip but he didn't budge. I thanked him for the millionth time. We made our way too the car and got in, "thank you for taking me out, I really needed it." I smile.

"You don't need to thank me, it's just nice to finally spend some time with you." He flushes, and I do the same.

"Thank yo-I start

"Stop saying thank you, you say it too often, let someone else say thank you, too you for once." I look at him in empathy. Why can't everyone be like him?

"Thank.., he looks down at me grinning.

"I mean, um a ok." I laugh. We both break into laughter, and he smiles. He starts the car and we end up just taking the entire time instead of going some place else. He let me talk about Matt and how he made me feel, and how my mother spends more time with her boyfriend than me and he gives me some amazing advice that I appreciate. I looked at the time on my phone and yawned. It was 11:30pm,

"Do you want to head home?" He asks.

"Yea, if that's ok." I say leaning my head against the window. He starts the car and starts driving. I never realized spending so much time with someone who actually cares about you, could make you feel this good inside. Robert really has brought out the good in me, and I'm so glad he has.

We arrive at my house, and I see my mother isn't home. "Do you want to come in?" I ask.

"Are you sure that's ok? He asks, referring to a certain some one.

"I'm positive." I smile.

"Ok, he agrees and gets out of the car. He opens the door for me, so I can get out. We walk up to the door and I open it, we both walk in and I close the door behind him. "Ill be back, I'm just going to change into some sweatpants and a shirt." I excuse myself. I run up to my room grab my stuff and change. Once I'm done I meet Robert down stairs, "you can come up now." I tell him. He nods and follows me up the stairs. I hand him a few blankets and a pillow for him to use. He thanks me and I help him make his bed on the floor next to my bed.

We both climb into our beds, "good night Maddie." Robert says too me. I smile to my self, "good night Robert." I say back. A few minutes later I drift off to sleep.~

I'm in the car with my family and we are heading to my aunts house for a visit. It's a little quite for a few minutes. And then it got really loud. My father slammed on the breaks but the ice made us slide and hit a curb. The truck in front of us crashes in front of us. My dads head goes threw the front of the car. And my mother hits her head on the dash bored instantly knocking her out. I smacked my head on the window. A few minutes go by and a police officer gets me out of the car. I'm still alive but I'm pretty sure my arm is broken. I see my dad being carried on a gurney. " DADDY!" I shout.

"Dad no!" I shout gasping for air. I'm in a pool of sweat and immediately someone is shaking me, and calling my name over and over again.

"'Matt?" I choke.

"No, no it's Robert." He says with a worried look on his face. "Are you ok?" He asks. I shake my head no, and he wraps his arms around me and holds me. We stay like this for a few minutes, he starts to pull away but I grip on to him.

"Can you lay with me?" I ask him. He seems caught off guard but quickly recovers. He climbs in bed with me, and I lay down with my head on his chest. He wraps one arm around my waist, I have missed this feeling for so long, it's great to have it back. I instantly fall back to sleep, with his arms still around me.
