- I can tell that you have been a lot more happier these last times we've met
I smiled when she made me think of him.
- Yeah, I've met someone.
I made eye contact with her and she smiled big.
- Well, I'm very happy for you.
We continued talking about everything until our time was over. When we were done we hugged each other and said goodbye before I left.
I started to walk down the road when I heard a car honk behind me.
- Are you trying to run away from me?
He said and smiled with his window down
- I didn't except you waiting for me
- Did you think I would let you walk through this snow storm?
I smiled and started to run a little to get into the car fast since it was snowing really bad. We didn't talk much. I thought about going home. At the same time I wanted to, but on the other side, I wasn't sure. I needed to see how mom was doing, if she needed anything.
- Can you drive me home?
He turned his face to me with a worried look.
- Are you sure? We can go somewhere else if you want?
- No thank you, I really just need to get home
He turned his face towards the road again and I could see on his face that he didn't like it. He knows something happened yesterday and I understand that he is worried about it. But I really do not have anyone else except for my mom and dad and right now, I feel like my mom needs me.
- Okay, I'm going to give you my number, if you have any trouble, feeling uncomfortable, want to sleep at my place or just need someone to talk to, call me please.
I looked at him and smiled cause his idea was so cute and he is making it seem like he really cares about me.
- I umm, I actually do not have a phone so it might make it difficult
He turned his face to me again. He probably hasn't noticed that I don't have one.
- Fuck
He said with a grumpy dark voice and it was probably the most sexiest thing I've ever heard him say.
- So, what are we doing now?
- Adrian, it's okay
- No Tulip, no it's not, I know something happened to you and I know it was something or someone in that house and I'm not letting you be there all by yourself without knowing you can call me or text me, fuck Amara I fucking care about you.
His voice was a bit louder, but he still wasn't screaming at me, he was screaming at the situation, which is a big difference. I've never had someone care about me this much and I can't understand why Adrian off all people care about me. I didn't know what to answer him so I was quiet for a few seconds before he faced me again.
- I'm so sorry I raised my voice at you I promise it will never happen again
- No no, it's fine really, I know you're just worried and I really appreciate that.. but Adrian, I need to go home.
- When do you start school tomorrow?
- 8.30am
- I'll pick you up and drive you, okay?
I smiled
- Okay my private chauffeur
He looked at me deep in my eyes and smiled back at me. Fucking hell this guy is literally perfect.
After a few minutes later, we arrived. I opened up my seatbelt and was on my way out off the car.
- 8.15 tomorrow I'll be waiting
- Yeahyeah bye
I closed the door and watched as he drove away. The whole neighborhood was quiet. Too quiet. The kitchen light was the only light in the house. I made my way to the backdoor since it was the closest to my room. I tried to open it, fuck, it's locked. I sighted and started walking around the house to the front door and tried opened it. Are you freaking kidding me? Both of the doors were locked. I started walking towards my bedroom window and as I hoped, it was open. But not enough. I tried to tuck my hand inside to open it more and it took some time if I'll admit. Finally, twenty minutes later, it opened. I was a bit scared that I wouldn't come in.
I immediately turned the lights on and was about to lock my door before someone opened it. Shit, shit, shit.
- Amara?
It was mom. She walked in and closed the door.
- Where the hell have you been? I've been so worried about you
- I'm fine, I needed to get out
She looked at me and was about to cry.
- Who's hoodie is that? She asked and looked at the hoodie I had on me, the one from Adrian.
- Oh, a girl from school let me borrow it
She nodded quietly.
- How are you feeling?
- Are you actually asking me that mom? What do you think?
- I know it got a bit out of hand last night and I've talked to Henry and he wants to apologize.
- Mom I'm sorry but how naive can you possibly be? He will apologize mom but he never actually means it, this is not the first time, this has been going on since the day I was born and I'm freaking tired mom. I'm so fucking tired of it.
A tear started running down my check, another after another.
- Honey, I'm sorry
- No, no you're not. Cause if you were, you would try to do anything for it to not happen again, but what have you done? Absolutely nothing.
We both were crying. I knew she was hurt by the things I said, but I didn't care, she needed to hear it. She hugged me right before she left my room. I want to get out of here, I need to get out of here.
