Butterfly

Allison

I have been staying at Daniel's for 2 days now, he keeps giving me his sisters clothes but I have yet to meet his sister or even his parents. I feel as though I should ask him about it so I don't say something wrong and have him tell me to leave. Currently he is all I have since my mother still hasn't told me I can go home.

"Hey Ally, are you okay?" my thoughts were cut off by Daniel.

"I'm okay just thinking." I said bluntly not wanting to tell him anything else.

"Oh.." he said looking down kind of sad.

"I'm sorry I'm just confused as to why I'm getting clothes from your sister when I havent met her or seen her or even your parents. I guess I just feel weird about taking her clothes when I know nothing about her." i regretted what I said as soon as I saw his face.

"I told you Allison. They are out of town. They said they would tell me when they get to the hotel. They havent yet. I'm worried about them especially my sister because shes 14 and I have a bad feeling about not getting a message or anything from any of them since they left." he looked as though he was going to cry. I apologized for pushing and looked down playing with my rings. His face lightened up when he saw my demeanor change, I hadn't even noticed that I was crying until he wiped the tears away and hugged me.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I should have just told you instead of continuing to hide it all from you." Daniel's voice was calm almost soothing.

I caught myself before I could hug him back and pushed him off. I muttered a simple it's fine as I walked away.

I cant be feeling things like this. Especially towards him, I dont even know if i trust him yet. God why did him hugging me like that and saying that make my heart flutter so much. I gotta go home I can't stay here anymore.

"I'm sorry I didnt ask before hugging you. you just looked sad and like you needed a hug from someone who ca-"

"Daniel I said it's fine I just wanna go home." I cut him off my voice laced with venom.

"I'm sorry I actually care about you. it's not my fault I started to feel something for you when I brought you to my special place." his voice was full of sympathy and emotion. I looked at him shocked, him saying he cares about me made me want to smile. I didnt respond to anything else but I did do something I never thought I would do.

I hugged him.

He hugged me back as soon as my as went around his neck and I buried my face into his chest.

"Why is your heart beating so fast?" I asked him softly not letting go of the hug. He didn't respond, he just held me tighter and I didn't even mind. He makes me feel something I haven't felt since I was younger.

He makes me feel safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been a few hours since I hugged Daniel. We ended up skipping classes to watch movies and that only happened because I told him I have never seen The Breakfast Club he quoted it to me and I had no clue what he was talking about so we watched it. I must say it was really good. We were now sitting in silence he was scrolling through his phone and I was reading The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald. It hasn't even been a week since I was told I had to stay here but it is kind of starting to feel like home.

"Do you wanna go for a walk or something this is getting boring and it's too quiet in here and its freaking me out" Daniel asked breaking the silence I just nodded and got up going to the room I had been staying in to change out of my sweat pants and hoodie. I decided to just throw on my Jean's a graphic tee and a flannel. my shoes were by the front door so I didnt worry about those.

As i was leaving the room Daniel was about to knock i guess me opening the door startled him because he gasped fairly dramatically.

"OH- um you look nice. Are you ready?" he sounded nervous about something but I shrugged it off nodding signally to him that I was ready to go. He smiled at me and held his hand out egging me to take it. I didn't I just gave him a high five and walked past him going to put on my shoes.

"where are we going Daniel?"
"you'll see" he smiled walking out of the house waiting for me to exit so he could lock the door.

oh boy this is gonna be a long night. I thought as I walked down the porch steps waiting for him at the bottom of it. When he got off the porch he grabbed my hand and started leading me down the street. I wanted to ask where we were going but I knew he wouldnt tell me so I just kept walking with him holding a firm yet soft grip on my hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"A party?" I asked looking at the house flooded with people. He smiled and nodded trying to lead me up to the house. I let go of his hand and started to walk away.
"I'm sorry I know I should have asked if you wanted to come with me first but I got a text from Sabrina's sister Lauren and apparently sabrina is telling everyone me and her are dating. I just want her to know I'm not into her. Please Allison?" he said quickly holding his hand out for me to take once more. I sighed and took his hand
"fine but if anyone starts anything I'm leaving you here to fend for yourself" he smiled at me revealing the dimple on the right side of his face.
"I'm serious Thomas I don't really like parties if something happens that I don't like I'm gonna leave. I won't even try to look for you or anything. I will just leave." i said and his smile drops.
"we dont have to do this if you really dont want to" he said as we walked into the house still hand in hand.
"too late now" I said softly as I noticed people staring at me and Daniel and talking as they saw our hands.
"Tommy- what the hell is she doing here? why are you holding her hand? why are you two here together?" sabrina questions angry as she glared looking from my face to mine and Daniel's interlaced hands. I just smiled at her.
"She's my girlfriend. i came here to tell you and everyone else that me and you arent a thing because I have a girlfriend I told you many times that I have a girlfriend and you ignored me. so here she is." my jaw dropped.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

HELLOOOOOO
