"ME" The Story of Lyric Rayne

Leaving a Trail of Kisses

'' Dad what are you talking about?'' I try to search for answers because none of what he just said made no sense. Is he talking about us moving? No he wouldn't do that to me.

'' Oh hey there is our food.'' My dad says and chugs down his beer really fast. Totally dodging my question. We sit in silence for a while not too long. I need to know what he meant.

'' Are you going to answer my question. What were you going to tell me?'' I try to pry into.

'' Lyric, eat your food.'' He says to me. Is he serious? I am not going to sit here and eat food while I am dying to know what is going on.

'' No dad! What is going on!'' I yell at him, I realized everyone was staring at me now. I look down at my mac n' cheese.

'' Lyric! I want to tell both you and Angie'' He makes up another excuse. Now I have a gut feeling of what is going on. But all of me is scared that I am right.

'' Are we moving?'' I ask. My stomach ties up into a knot, I feel shaky. I know tears will rise if I hear the one word

.

'' Yes.''

After making a scene of running out of the restaurant. We rode in the car on the way home in pure silence.

I get into my room slamming the door behind me, I cry into.. no I scream into my pillow.

'' Nix.'' I barely make out his name all he can hear is my sobs. I try to make out more words. But seems nearly impossible.

'' What Lyric? I cant really understand what your saying. I am coming over now.'' He rushes off the phone and I know he is going to be at my house soon. I throw on sweatpants and a sweatshirt.

I hear a pebble on my window. Ya real cliché Nix. I say to myself and roll my eyes. I swear if he starts to climb up to my window. I will die of laughter no joke.

'' Come down.'' He shouts. I hold up a finger to my lips telling him to shush it. I slowly go down the stairs. But the very last step realeses a huge creaking noise. I sprint for the door, throwing it open and conituning dashing to the car.

'' Go, before my dad catches me.'' I tell him. He starts the engine and zooms away.

'' Where too?'' He asks me. I roll down the window feeling the wind on my hand.

'' Anywhere but here.'' I yell through the noise of the wind. He gives me a smile. I see his glorious smile. Then it hits me. I will never see him again, but isn't he meant to be mine?

He parks into the 7-11.

'' Want a slurpee?''

I nod my head, feeling the ache of sadness sink in. Come on Lyric get it together. I laugh as Nix acts silly dancing around in a 7-11.

'' Come on dance with me.'' He takes my hand and twirls me around, the casher stared at us the whole time. A slower song comes on and he holds me close and we slow dance. I felt like on cloud nine. This seemed almost too good to be true.

I fill up my slurpee cup with Cherry Cola. I take Nix's cup out of his hand and take a sip and he takes a sip from mine.

'' Where now?''

'' Hmm.. I know just the place.''

We drive back to his place. Climb up the ladder to the roof, he climbs into his room to grab a blanket laying it around my shoulders and opening the one side to get in closer with me. We sit on a roof with slurpees in our hands sharing a blanket could this get any better? I lay down and lay my head on his chest I hear his stomach move up and down when he laughs and his heart beats like a drum.

'' Im moving.''

'' What you are?'' I look up at his eyes.

'' Ya, its my stupid dad.'' I say it at first I could see the shock in his eyes. I feel horrible.

'' I cant believe this. But you just started high school. There has to be some way to get you to stay.''

I hold his hand, just feeling awful, terrible, horrible, sad, pissed, every known emotion known to man kind.

We sat there in peace, I just wanted to hear the beat of his heart. Feeling him. I lean back up staring into the diamonds. I place my hand on his cheek rubbing my thumb back and forth. Leaning in closer he nearly places his lips on to mine. Kissing my jawline slowly and moving down to my neck. I feel his soft lips on my shoulder as I move my head up and I can't help to just smile. I bring his face up to mine kissing his lips. I stand up walking to his room. Opening the window and crawling into it.

'' What are you doing?'' He asks me. I give a smirk.

'' Are you coming or not?''

He crawls through the window and I sit there on his bed. Walking closer and closer to me. He stands there in front. I crawl on to the middle of the bed sitting with my legs crossed.

'' Can I sleep here tonight?'' I suggest to him.

'' Of course. '' He says. I cuddle under the covers and he turns off the lights hoping in right next to me.

'' Isn't your dad going to be worried?''

'' He can go suck my ass.'' I say. I giggle when I see Nix's eyes come wide open.

'' Remind me to never ever be on your bad side.''
