Falling for a Cloud

Chapter 17

A perfectly intact razor. He's kidding right? I look to him as if he was insane, because now, he just seems plain mental.

"I knew you were going to take this the wrong way." He looks down to his feet as he leans back onto the bathtub.

"I did, but tell me what this really does mean." I want to know why he gave me the extremely perfect razor.

"I used to cut myself. And now I'm better. Inspiring thousands, every minute of my life. And do you know why?" His hand cups my cheek, I shake my head and stare directly into his eyes.

I can't look away.

"People cared enough to get me the help I needed." He places a small kiss on my temple and get's up.

He leaves me in the bathroom, taking the razor with him. Alone.

Strangely, I feel like all of our secrets of the past have came out. I feel like there's nothing hiding anyore. But I know that can't be true.

There are always secrets.

*JC's P.O.V*

I exit the bathroom, making sure to carefully take the razor from her and with me.

I walk down the stairs, then out the back door. There's one thing I have to do.

"Kian, where's the shovel?" Kian's swimming with this chick he met a long time ago. I think her name's Andrea. She looks like the girl Lia has described to me several times as her best friend, but it can't be.

I walk into the garage where Ricky is.

"Ricky, where's the shovel?"

"Left corner by the garage door, closest to Kian's car." He points to the spot without looking up.

"Thanks Ricky!" I say happily. Finally, someone who knows where stuff is around here.

I take the shovel and go to a corner in the back yard, and start digging.

"JC WHAT ARE YOU DOING WE JUST LAYED GRASS SEED THERE. JUSTIN CLOUD CAYLEN CASTILLO." I roll my eyes at Kian's dramatic yelling as Andrea giggles in the pool water.

I dig a 3 foot deep hole. And I go upstairs to retrieve Lia.

I find her in my bed, huttled underneath the covers with Wishbone. I'm so glad that my best friend, likes my girlfrie... No. We aren't dating. Yet. My subconsious adds as I pull the covers off of the beautiful girl that I've fallen in love with, and Wishbone looks like he could kill me. Believe me. If I were cuddling with that girl, and someone pulled the covers off, I would've killed someone too.

"I have to show you something." I calmly say, and she is up faster than I expected. Wishbone follows her at the heel, and she intertwines our fingers as we walk to the backyard.

"What JC?" She questions as I gesture to the empty whole and place the bandaged razor into her hands.

"Toss it in." I smile. And she kisses it, and gladly tosses it into the pit of dirt, then starts to cover it with the excess dirt.

"LIA?" A voice from the pool screeches. And she whips herself around. A smile smearing her tear-stained face.

No. It's Andrea.

"ANDREA." She jumps into the pool, of course, wearing my clothes, but I don't care. She looks amazing in them.

She hugs Andrea and cries tears of happiness.

"JC! It's Andrea!" She squeals as Kian hops out of the pool and grabs three towels, setting two by the edge if the pool, and wrapping one around his waist.

"Dude, I think you just got thirde wheeled." I laugh and Andrea calls him back into the water, but he politely refuses.

Andrea and Lia both climb out of the water, Lia signalling me to be quiet, as her and Andrea both grab one of Kian's arms, and pull him back into the water. The backyard fills with laughter.

"JC! Would you get in the water honey?" Lia coos and bats her eyelashes. I oblige. Because when would be the next time she called me honey.
