You and Me (A Bart Baker Fanfic)

Chapter 6

"Bart! Wait! No, Bart!!" I scream. I chase his car down the road, trying desperately to catch up to him. I have to have him back. I can't love without him. I can't live without him...

BEEP BEEP BEEP. I jolt upright in bed, and groan as I realize my alarm clock was the beeping noise. Time to get up.

I've had the same dream I had last night for two weeks. Every night; the same thing. Reliving the terrible day when Bart left my life forever. Soon after he left, I left Justin, and he went back home. I couldn't live with myself if I knew I was staying with the reason Bart left me.

I've tried to call Bart almost every day, with no luck. Straight to voicemail every time. And so I leave a long apology message every time. I refuse to give up on getting him back.

Suddenly I get an idea. Grabbing my phone, I sail Brittany's number.

"Hello?" She answers.

"Brittany? I need Bart's address. I'm getting him back."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stand, staring at Bart's front door. I've been standing there for at least half an hour, trying to build up enough courage to face him. But I can't.

Courage won't do any good, anyway. As soon as I see him any courage I have will drain out of me. I should go in. It's now or never.

I take a deep breath and knock on the door.

Suddenly, it opens and I see Bart's face, he has dark circles under his eyes as if he hasn't slept in forever.

"Page?" He asks, a tiny bit of light returning to his eyes. He runs his hand through his hair as we stare at each other, neither saying anything.

Before I can do anything, tears start to spill from my eyes.

"Bart! I'm so sorry! I- I didn't mean it I swear! I don't love Justin.. I broke up with him because my feelings weren't real.. My heart belongs to... Somebody else.. Brittany- she told you the truth.. I just did it and I- I don't know why- please-"

I stop suddenly in the middle of my sobbing when Bart takes a step closer to me and touches my cheek softly. I stare into his eyes, not knowing what to do. I open my mouth to ask him what he's doing, but before I can, he leans forward and presses his lips to mine.

At first I'm startled, but I'm suddenly calmed by his touch. I press up against him, leaving no room between us, and return his kiss. I throw my arms around his neck as he pulls us both back into his house and closes the door. He pushes me up against the wall and leaves a fiery trail of kisses down my neck, leaving me breathless.

After a few more minutes, he pulls back and we both just look into each other's eyes, out of breath, yet extremely satisfied. A small smile creeps onto Bart's face.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He whispers.

"How long?"

"Since the moment I bumped into in McDonald's. Since the moment I laid eyes on you. I've loved you since the beginning."

"You love me?" I ask, feeling both terrified and ecstatic.

Bart nods. "With all my heart. Since day one."

I feel myself blush as he slowly leans forward and pecks my lips again.

"I love you, too." I whisper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sit on the couch, snuggled up beside Bart with his arm wrapped around me. I never knew how much I wanted this, but now that I have it, I never want it to stop.

My eyes begin to get heavy and then close altogether. After a while, I feel a strong pair of arms pick me up bridal style and start carrying me. I'm laid down on a soft surface, and I curl up under what feels like a blanket.

"Page.." I hear a mans voice whispers. "Page, baby, wake up."

My eyes flutter open to see Bart, crouched down beside the bed I'm laying on. "Did I fall asleep?"

"Yes, baby. You did." Bart says soothingly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. I smile at his touch.

"Will you stay with me?" I ask, my eyes closed again. Bart hesitates and I open my eyes. "Just to keep me warm."

"Of course, baby." Bart says as he climbs into bed next to me. He puts his arm around me as I snuggle up next to him and lay my head on his bare chest. "Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too.."
