Beneath the Surface

Chapter 3- Back to school

I was at the police station completely in shock. 

Everyone kept asking me for my story. I was tired of having to think about it over and over again. Didn't they understand I wanted to rest. 

Eventually a child protective service worker came to pick me up. They had found a foster home were I could stay for the next few months. They didn't have any children. It was a newly married lesbian couple,Mary and Lisa. I liked that, it meant no men would ever come near me. They took good care of me and even enrolled me in a nearby school. 

4 months passed by. 

I asked Mary if I could go on a skiing trip that was due next semester. She agreed and paid for it. 

I would be going to Austria, far away from Belgium were it all happened. 

It was 2 weeks before I would go skiing when Lisa called for me to come. She told me that CPS had called. I would be taken back to my dad in 3 weeks wich meant that he was the one to come pick me up when I arrived back. 

I was shocked they could just decide to let me suffer again. 

On the skiing trip we were all seperated into diffirent groups. When I went to our meeting spot I saw a super cute tall guy. 

was our skiing coach. WOW! Such a hotty. He was 17 years old, a perfect age diffirence. His name was Matt. I had never skied before wich I tought was embarrassing but it really wasn't. 

I liked it. 

Matt and I went down the easiest slope. He went backwards so if I fell he could pick me up. 

I didn't fall but suddently my legs started shivering and I was going way too fast. I couldn't slow down and I slit right in between his arms. I felt the electricity run trough my body as my hands were on his chest. I looked him in the eyes with an embarrassed look on my face. He just smiled at me. We were so close I wanted to kiss him so badly. I suddently had forgotten my whole past. It's like it was never there and I was just born in this moment. Somehow I finally felt like I could be myself and it felt great. I was experiencing feelings I never had before. 

"Watch out next time." He said. 

"I-im so sorry I got out of control and-" he disrupted me

"Shh, don't be sorry. What do you expect, it's your first lesson ever." I smiled and wandered of to the side so I could get some water out of my backpack. 

I took it out and saw that it had all been frozen by the cold temperatures. He saw my struggle and gave me his bottle. I thanked him, drank a little and gave it back. 

The rest of the day was a little bit of the same. Sliding, falling and sliding in his arms way too many times. It was now evening and I was laying on my bed thinking about him. Matt was so hot. I couldn't stop thinking about him. 

A few days went on and nothing much happened. 

"Alright are you all ready to go a little higher up the mountain!", he asked. I nodded as we walked over to the little scary elevator. It was my first time using it but hell was it scary. 

That thing almost left without me as I placed my skies in the little baskets on the side. 

I was in the same little egg thingy as him. I made sure to sit next to him. He took a music box out of his backpack and asked

"So, what music do you guys like?" 

I didn't answer as the pick me girl was sitting on the other side looking all jealous because I sat next to him. I let her pick the songs. Well, she actually told him to put his favorite song on. And so he did. We had to get of wich was as stressfull as getting on. As we were skiing down I started to lose control. He could tell and moved closer to me so I could fall safely if I would.
