Behind These Tears

Chapter 2

Walking along slowly I have been bored now walking for 15 mins.. Putting one foot in front of the other, Swaying side to side trying to keep my balance.

'What will my life be like now that he's gone? What am I going to do when college comes around? We were gonna go and raid the campus together.. Have parties of two every night. Now? A party of.. Uno. Gahd. Maybe not even.. Maybe I will just forever be alone..'

That was then when I noticed some light glistening off the wet pavement and the rain pouring down was now visible. I turned around seeing headlights come towards me.. A blue vehicle maybe? It came closer and closer.. Nope, definitely black. A range rover to be exact.

"Pffft.. Richie" I muttered and kept walking.

Yes, this time more normal. I didn't want the person to think I was drunk because I wasn't.. Well, maybe off sadness..

The car came up to the right of me and and slowed down. The car window rolled down.. I turned to face the person before me who had 'drunk' by Ed Sheeran playing very softly through his 'richie' car speakers.

"Hey..it's raining.." He said flashing a smile with his pearly white teeth.

I could tell he had curls, beautiful luscious curls.. What the hell? I don't even know him. Snap out of it Em. I mean, I don't even know what his eyes look like.. They are the part that opens up to your soul.. They tell a story, every person's eyes tell as story, mostly about them.. That's when I realized I hadn't replied.

"Uhm.. No shit sherlock!" I said gesturing my hands around like a complete fool i'm sure. Probably a deranged monkey but, who was i to blame? I mean this clothing was getting pretty heavy. I'm sure I had mascara running down my face from the mixture of crying and the rain.

He furrowed his brows.. "Erm.. Sorry" his husky voice spoke like silk.

"No worries.. Well I best be going" I said quickly turning. "Nice chat..?"

"Wait! At least let me give you a ride?.." He flashed the million dollar smile again. Damn his teeth were straight.

"Fine.. Just. Don't try anything." I smiled trying to return the same smile. Although it was too cheesy..dammit i try to hard sometimes..

I walked around the car.. He opened the door when I arrived to the passenger seat. There was a towel already where I was going to sit. How generous?.. I got into the car and looked at him.

"You know you didn't have to do that.." I said with a weak pitiful smile.

He turned to me. "Actually I did." He said rather manner like. "I see it as doing something kind for someone, who as of right now looks.. Hurt..?" He crunched his brows together in confusion studying my face.. "So, are you okay?" He asked rather soft and sweet.. Caring tone you could say.

"Me? Oh yeah I am.." I lied. Did he believe me?

"I don't believe that for the slightest second.." He turned to me again.. Shit. He was good.

"Well uh.. My friend.. He recently died . Like literally, recently.." I said tears starting to cloud my vision.. And, her come the waterworks.

He embraced me in a warm loving hug.. Full of care. I could get used to this.. I actually felt like i was wanted.. Like someone wanted to be there for me. I sobbed into his shirt for about 5 minutes listening to him coo to me over and over 'shhh it's gonna be okay.' After our moment of 'bonding' he had to break the comfortable silence.

"May I ask what your name is love?" He said still hugging my and rubbing circles on my back.

"Emily-Elaine" i say rather quiet.

He met go and pushed me away still holding my arms to face him. "That's beautiful." He said with his flashy smile again. This time i could make out his dimples. My breath hitched i always envied people with them. I started to feel my cheeks get red and hot from his compliment. I was blushing. I rarely did. I was broken, so maybe that is why.

"Thanks." I say turning my head and smiling.. First time I smiled since..yeah.

"Now my fair lady where shall I be dropping you off?" Again another comment to make me blush. What was wrong with me?

"This way" I point..
