Rise Of The Runaways

Chapter 5

Andrew was comforting me. He was fucking comforting me. I almost had the urge to push him off of me and run. Almost. Instead, I only held him tighter. I wanted to make sure this was real and not my imagination. I looked up at Dave and silently asked if was really Andrew.He nodded, which made me grip Andrew harder and tear up more.

I heard my father and Austin argue and fight about me downstairs. It was terrifying hearing Austin scream when it wasn't his music. I was absolutely terrified. I tucked my head into his neck as he dropped to his knees. They were still around me like he was sheltering me, which I pray to the God I don't believe in he was.

"I'm so sorry," He whispered into my ear. "I'm sorry about all the bullshit you've been through. I've should've known better then to fuck with you like that. I know I can't apologise enough times to make it up to you, but I promise if you give me another chance, I'll swear that every second that we're together, it'll be Heaven. And the second you get your diploma, we're hoping into my car, packing our bags, and getting that band started. I just couldn't come to terms with my feelings for you because I was confused and Hayley showed me more of an interest that caught my attention as well as the populars' attention. I'm so sorry that I ignored you these past few years and I really hope that you'll forgive me. I want to be friends with you again and I want to be with you and I just need you in my life again. So will you take me back as a friend?"

I looked up at him to see tears silently falling from his little speech. I stayed in between his legs with my arms wrapped around his neck, his arms around my waist, and our foreheads resting against each others. I pulled him forward by his neck and connected our lips. He hesitated for a split second before kissing me back. I felt sparks fly through me as he worked my lips with his own. He flicked his tongue against my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I hesitatingly opened my lips, only to have his tongue work magic against mine. Our tongues danced for dominance, but I eventually let him have it.

He had my back against the wall as he broke the kiss, us equally breathing heavily. I saw the lust in his eyes, but I couldn't trust that. I knew lust glazed my eyes heavily, but I didn't push anything further.

His eyes flicked down to my lips, but my eyes flicked to Anng, who nodded and looked at Dave. She signed something like 'Let's go say hi to Austin.' The fighting downstairs stopped, so I assume that Austin went into the basement and father into The Room.

Andrew tilted his head slightly towards the door, waiting for it to close. When it did, he pushed his lips against mine. He didn't stop as he lightly gripped my hip with one hand and lead my head down to the floor with the other. He let go of my head and held my knee. He moved his head down to my neck and sucked until he found my sweet spot. I gasped as he continued to suck. He slightly moved his hand towards me, and I stiffened. He must've noticed cause he stopped sucking my neck and looked at me.

We just stared at each other in sheer bliss. He just looked down at my lips and smiled. I couldn't help but to smile as he crashed his lips onto mine. But it wasn't as passionate as before. It was more of like little kisses around my face, to show me he still and will forever cared.

I started giggling like a school girl as he rested his head next to mine on the floor. I looked at him in the way I haven't since 6th grade: adoration, admiration, and absolute love. He rubbed his nose against mine as Anng and Dave walked in. We both looked at them with the same smiles they gave us.

Anngie walked over to me, grabbed my hand, and pulled me into the hall part of the bathroom. I closed the door behind me and she looked at me expectantly with her award winning grin and her arms across her chest. I signed to her exactly happened and she gasped with excitement at the end of my story. She hugged me tightly and danced around in her spot. We looked at each other and smiled, sighing simultaneously.

We walked out to find Dave and Andrew embracing each other with the same smiles that Anng and I shared. Andrew looked at me and his smile grew from ear to ear. I started blushing really hard, looked down at my feet, and twiddled them. Anng brushed past me, assuming to go to Dave, as Andrew put his hands on my arms.

I heard the door close, and felt Andrew's hands go down to mine. I looked up at him, only to find his face mere inches away from mine. He placed his forehead against mine, slouching his back somewhat significantly. I never noticed how much taller he was than me until now. I wanted to make sure he wasn't playing me.

I knew that earlier today wasn't fake because Hayley used to be my best friend in elementary school, and whatever happens between her and her friends stay permanent. During the summer before 6th grade, she got noticed by one of the older jocks, slept with him, and forever hated anyone that didn't appeal to her, including me. But Andrew was different. He was a popular kid since 3rd grade. Everybody loved him. He was an amazing singer, even at a young age. That's why he was so popular. Benn and Brandon were popular because of their amazing guitar skills, Brent had amazing drumming skills, Hayden's bass skills were phenomenal, and Dave's harsh vocals were spectacular. But they always hung out with people like me. The other populars didn't care as long as they got to hang out with them outside of school, which was pretty much all the time. But I'm guessing that since he started dating that slut, he stopped talking to me because his popularity grew.

But now that he's in my embrace, I have to be careful that I don't get too attached and he leaves me in pieces again. I pushed my lips up to his, grabbing his shirt in the process. He seemed a bit taken back by this, but he soon realised why I was so eager. I could tell that in the mere seconds between me kissing him and him kissing me back with just as much force, everything come flooding back to him. He wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. He broke the kiss, only to grab my thighs and wrap my legs around his waist. I started kissing his jawline down to his neck as he walked over to my bed and sat down. I started sucking on his neck, giving him a nice hickey, claiming him for my own.

I heard stomping on the stairs and immediately grabbed Andrew's hand and pulled him into the little crawl space behind my room.

"What did you hear?" He whispered. I just shook my head and pushed him further into the space. "Lacey, what's wrong? Please tell me." He put his hand on my shoulder and I immediately flinched out of his touch. He looked scared at my actions, but I gave him an apologetic look.

"Listen," I whispered sadly. "I can't explain it to you now, but I promise you I will in due time." I put my hand on his cheek. He looked at my hand sadly, but put his on mine and nodded. I pulled him in for a quick hug, as he proceed to put me on my back. Here we go again. I thought happily.
