Buried Feelings.

16. Scottie

We park up outside the Leyton household. Me in my car and the others piled in with My Mum. Dad couldn't make it again. He had some work business he was doing. I get out of the car and look up at the house I've become so familiar with once again.

After Alyssa called me this morning I hadn't been able to get back to sleep. She called out of all the people she could have called she chose me. Why... I have no idea, but if she's willing to call me out of the blue then I have a chance to change her mind of me. To be the friend she thinks we can't be anymore and who knows maybe she might even being willing to give me a chance at being something more.

I see the door of the house open and out walked Abigail with the familiar smile she always wore when greeting us. She hugged me, My Mum and Robert and ushered us into the house.

"Would you like something to drink... Something to eat. I'm just finishing with the cupcakes and cookies I'm making" She gleams and my mum followers her into the kitchen.

I looked around in the living room to see Alyssa wasn't around. Maybe she wasn't back from that friends house she was staying in. So I asked Abigail.

"Erm is Alyssa around?" I questioned interrupting in the conversation they were having.

"No yet, but she should be here about mid day. Jason is dropping her off then" My ears perked up at the name of Jason. I haven't heard about him before, but then again she did say friend when she called last night.

Scottie don't read too much into it. You know better than to assume things.

I listen to my conscious and Just nod sitting on one of the stools of the island.

Xxx

it was mid day exact and I was sat in the living room with Mum and Abigail. Robert went out saying he was hooking up with some friends and Kelsey didn't come. She stayed with her Bestfriend for the weekend. I suddenly heard a car pull up into the drive way. Abigail glanced out the window then looked at me "Alyssa seems to be home now" I couldn't help, but let out a smile as the front door opened then closed. The patter of feet running upstairs came to my ears "You can go see her Scottie. She doesn't bite" Abigail says smirking at me along with My own mother. I rolled my eyes at both of them then head out the living room and up to Alyssa's room.

The door was shut, but I could hear shuffling happening behind the door. I knock three times before the door flung open and there she stood. The girl I haven't been able to keep out of my head. The girl I always think about. I smiled leaning against the door frame "Hey"

Really Scottie out of everything you could have said you say 'Hey' grow a pair man... Jeez I thought we at least had some sort of game.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at my conscious and just kept the smile on my face as I scanned her face. She's always been pretty with those small freckles on her right cheek. They were very faint, but always came out in the summer due to the sunlight. Her curly brown hair was now up in a pony tail showing off her collar bone. She smiled back at me and then we both fell into a silence. It wasn't awkward or uncomfortable which was good, but boy did I not like it. I'm nervous that's what it has to be. I don't want to screw up this one chance that I have with her again. Last time I kissed her which to her was not a good idea so no kissing this time.

Just say something you idiot. Anything at all. At least invite her to do something. For god sake Scottie say something now!

"I like your hair"

Damn it... Really Scottie 'I like your hair' is the only damn thing that came to your pea size mind.

Stupid stupid stupid
