The Wallflower

That night I stayed up. Josh for once seemed scared he kept jerking his head to the door like someone was going to barge through. I looked at Amy who was staring at the floor holding back tears. I rubbed my head gently and got up and went to my room closing the door slowly. My arms itched and burned at the same time begging me to do it. The voice in my head boomed so loud I was about to scream. I paced back and forth by my window and stopped looking out for a moment seeing the vast emptiness of my neighborhood. You could see the shadows of the hoodlums creeping around so I closed my window and sighed. I heard my door open and I saw josh I tensed "um uh-"
"Save it...I'm sorry I was wrong about you I was just trying to protect her that I didn't see who you really are." Josh held his hand out for a truce for peace. And we shook on it "you don't mind if we stay here for a few do you?"
"No not even I could use some company" I smiled very small still unsure about him since his eyes flickered with an emotion that I could not make out. He nodded and walked out slowly.
Amy stood by the door clutching the jacket I let her use to her chest like if she let go she would just vanish. She was shaken not stirred she rubbed her eyes gently and walked to me wrapping her arms around my neck gently. I looked down on her and smiled gently rubbed her back. She pulled away slightly and and looked up at me. I brushed the hair out of her face and rubbed her cheek with my thumb "don't be scared....your safe here...your safe with me"
Amy held out her pinky "pinky promise?" She said like a little kid.
"I swear it" I kissed her forehead and picked her up a she wrapped her legs around my waist and kept her arms around my neck like a koala to branch. So I went the the living room to josh half asleep. I leaned down to put her on the couch but she stayed on I laughed softly "what are you doing?"
"I don't want you to go" I leaned back up and looked at her confused "I'm not leaving I'm staying here."
She buried her face in my chest again "I don't want you to leave"
I sat down and brought her closer lifting her chin up "I'm not leaving I swear" I looked her right in the eyes. How could I leave her? How could I leave josh behind. How could I? I couldn't that's why.
