Buried Feelings.

18. Scottie

'Congratulations you've reached Alyssa Leyton. Unfortunately I'm not available to talk. Ring back later. Bye'

I let out a loud sigh and throw my phone onto my bed. That was the 5th time I've tried calling her. Since I saw her this morning she has either been avoiding me or she's actually busy. She seemed okay this morning with me. 

Scottie how many times stop over thinking situations. 

My door suddenly opened and in walked my brother "Yo dude stop pacing... Mum thinks you're going to ware out the floor boards and fall right through" I cut my eyes at Robert and continued to walk around my room looking at my phone on the bed every 2 seconds "Is this about that Leyton chick?" 

"That Leyton chick's father is the only reason why you're not dying in a hospital bed right now so how about you go away and leave me be" I snap staring him down.

"You know I'm older than you Scottie so don't think I won't knock you out just because you're my brother" Robert threatened stepping to  who was slightly taller. 

"What is your damn problem Rob... Ever since the Leyton family have come back into our lives you've been such a douche" 

At the mention of that Robert backed away and I knew it wasn't because he was scared, but because he was hiding something and didn't want me to find out "Forget it man and just chill out with Alyssa. She isn't the same girl we use to know"

"Yeah I know that, but we've been hanging out a lot lately and I think I like her man. I think I really like her" 

"You never stopped Scottie, even when you were with Charlotte for like what a year or something I noticed you never looked at her the way your 12 year old self looked at Alyssa... Not once, but you guys aren't 12 anymore Scott"

Yeah okay so we weren't 12 anymore, but 3 weeks ago she kissed me at the zoo. I didn't tell her to, she just did and all I really wanted to know was what it meant. I'm confused and I don't like the mixed signals she was giving me. 

Is it such a bad thing to want to know what the hell is going on? 

I just don't want to lose her like I once did when I moved away. I avoided her as much as I could because I didn't want to feel the hurt being away from her like I did the first couple weeks. I guess in the end she pushed me aside and made a life for herself and now that I'm back in her life I don't want to lose her. Not again.

"I know Robert" I reply running a hand through my hair "Alyssa and I are friends"

"Then stop worrying about her calling you" He suggests walking back to my bedroom door "I'm sure friends don't over think the other calling" Robert gave me a small smirk as he left my room shutting the door behind him.

All day I hadn't heard from Alyssa and I was started to get worried about her. I've tried calling her again. I've tried all day, but no answer. I threw my phone on my bed and left my room walking down the stairs and into the kitchen "Hey Mom" I kiss her on the cheek.

"Hey darling" She replies stirring the pot on the stove "You all ready for school tomorrow" I give her a small nod and she smiles at me "Why the glum face sweetie?"

"No reason" I lie not wanting to tell my Mum that I'm broody over not hearing for Alyssa. I know what she would think... Robert thinks the same thing and right now I don't want the motherly rant she would give me.

"Alyssa hasn't called him in what..." Robert looked at the clock on the wall. It was nearly half seven "Seven hours" I shot him a glare which he laughed at before crossing the kitchen and grabbing himself a can of coke "Want one bro?" I ignore him looking back down at the counter trailing circles.
