Tiffany's POV
I don't know where we drive but we end up on a hill overlooking the town. It was beautiful again another place I could escape too! Rusty gets out and walks to the fence, jumping over it and sitting on it. I sigh, see this is why I hate boys. They get jealous real quick even when nothing is going on between you. I walk over and I stand beside him, he doesn't look but knows I'm there "I come here when I need to blow off steam. Not everything about life is roses you know?" was that a stab at me?
What did I do to make him think I thought life was always sweet? It wasn't and I knew that. I mean I was just ripped away from a life I had come to love and wasn't ready to move or adjust too but I had too and I still haven't started school yet and I'm sure that will be a whole new chapter of drama for my life "I know. Life sucks sometimes but somehow you just have to learn to live with it right?" he looks at me and smiles
"True. Sorry I know you've life was turned upside down recently but mine has always sucked and sometimes I just need to get away?" I nod in agreement
"Come on, let me show you something?" he grabs my hand and helps me over the fence.
My heart starts racing "Where are we going?" I ask, he smiles
"Just wait and see" he pulls me along until we go down the hillside a little to what looks like a cave of some sort.
We walk in and my eyes grow wide "Wow, look at this place!" it had a couch and few other comforts
"Did you do this?" he nodded.
Letting my hand go and dropping himself down on the couch "Actually the guys and I made it. We come up here to smoke and drink sometimes or I just come up here to get away from ....life" he says.
We sat there for a moment and I start to think about how much I'm missing my girls and my old life and without warning tears start to roll down my cheeks. I try to wipe them away before he notices but it's too late "Tiffany, what's wrong?" I can't cry not in front of this guy please, stop I don't want him to feel sorry for me. I thought I was stronger than this?
"I-I'm fine" I stutter.
I don't know when why I'm crying? I look at Rusty who walks over, looking concerned "I'm fine really. I don't even know why I'm crying, it's stupid?" I try to laugh it off but he's not having it.
He engulfs me into a hug and I can smell the lynx over the cigarette smells but I feel safe so I wrap my arms around him and bury my head into his chest "I'm sorry" I say as I get his shirt wet form my tears
"It's totally fine" he says laughing
"it's a lot to take in when you move, trust me I know. We've moved 3 times already" I nod and turn my head to look out of the cave smile "Can I use this spot too?" I look up at him and he nods
"Sure, it's for anyone who just needs to get away from the olds or life in general" I laugh and wipe my eyes
"Thanks Rusty and sorry again" "It's fine. I won't tell a soul" he laughs which makes me laugh.
We stood there for a while. Him holding me, me crying into his chest, us not talking then my phone rang. I pulled away and sniffed. I looked at my phone it was Jo "Hey" I say with a shaky voice
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing. I'm just upset about the move, my friends, everything!" I threw my hands up as I stepped away from Rusty not looking at him. "Well I just wanted to tell you that Gabe and I made it back and I'm hanging with him over his house"
"Okay, I'll be home soon"
"Kay, look Tiff. Let's do a movie with popcorn night to cheer each other up?"
"Sure sounds good" I look at Rusty who nods and says
"Come on let me take you home" he grabs my hand and it tingles under his touch, almost as much as it did when Drake touched me.
What the hell is going on with me? Am I just being emotional? I need to speak to Amber she'll know, she knows me better than I know myself.
Rusty pulls us back up the hillside to his car and he drives me home. He rests his large hand on mine and squeezes it making me smile. I felt safe with him and I don't know why but I knew I shouldn't because something else about him made my head scream to run the other way and fast! I didn't listen to my head I stayed right there with his hand on mine and I was enjoying it and from the look on Rusty's face so was he. Was I really starting to fall for the bay boi of the neighbourhood and was he really a bad boi? I mean I hardly knew him. Tiffany Jenkins back the fuck up, you don't know anything about him so stay away at a safe distance before you get in too deep! This I heard loud and clear and I knew I had to do it before something did happen and I was a mess lying on my bed balling my eyes out. I wanted to be his friend, get to know him not have him want to sleep with me on our first day out together? What was wrong with me?
