Save Her

Chapter Three: Teen Romance.

We had just gotten back from the hospital and i was in my room when there was a quiet knock on the front door.
Who was here so late? I didn't want to get up so I let dad deal with that.

Dad opened the door to find Ezra standing there in the cold snowy rain, of course dad let him in because who would leave a 16 year old boy out in the cold?

"My parents kicked me out." Ezra explained to dad, terror in his voice. I heard Ezra from my bedroom but I put it past myself.

I looked at my razor again then my thigh. I began once more, making sure it doesn't go too deep like the last. It still hurt, but I needed to cope somehow.

I heard footsteps coming toward my bedroom. I  then quickly jumped up, hid my razor, and threw some pants on. I winced feeling the soft fabric against my open scars.

Dad knocked on my door just as I put my pants on, I let him in and Ezra was behind him.

"Ezra was kicked out, I told him he could stay in here with you tonight." Dad explained then left the room shutting the door behind him. A boy, in my room alone with the door closed? That's a first.

I looked around my room for an extra bed, I thought I had one. I looked at Ezra, he was shivering.

"Sorry, I'll get you some warm clothes" I said, walking toward my closet. I found the matching set to my pajamas and gave them to him. The pajamas were my brothers but he was at college.

"Thank you" he said, then started stripping right in front of me. I quickly turned around, I could feel my face burning. He changed then told me I could turn around, so I did.

"You can sleep in my bed with me, I guess" I exclaimed, not wanting to weird him out.

We both got into bed and I put on a movie, a horror movie. I remember he said he liked horror movies at the hospital.

Part way through the movie I started getting tired, but I stayed awake, Ezra was ready to fall asleep too.

I yawned, and without knowing it I fell asleep sitting up. My body leaned toward Ezras as I fell into a deeper sleep.

Ezras POV: I had no idea she had fallen asleep until her relaxed body connected with mine. I wrapped my arm around her and her head fell onto my chest.

She looked so cute, a strand of her soft blondish browm hair fell in front of her face. I layed back more to be comfortable, I tried not to wake her since she looked so peaceful.

'I think I'm falling for her' I thought to myself. She was special to me, I didn't care what others at school thought about her.

I slowly began to fall asleep with her in my arms. She moved in her sleep, like she was scared. That's when I remember, she had said that horror movies give her nightmares. I then held her closer, I held her so close to where she was almost on top of me.

I fell asleep soon after, she stayed on my arms all night.

Ambers POV: I had woke up the next morning in Ezras arms, I don't know how I got there but I loved it. I felt safe in his arms. I felt safe with him in general.

Ezra had his arms around me, holding me tightly while he slept. I was drifting off into my own world when he woke up. I looked at him as my face went bright red.

He smiled at me and told me I was adorable. I couldn't take it anymore I have to tell him.

I took a deep breath and muttered under my breath. He looked at me, "what was that?".

He didn't hear me, so I said again, "I've liked you for a while now."

I looked away as I said those words, he was quiet for a few minutes which scared me. He then spoke, "I like you too, Amber"

I swear I felt my heart skip a beat when he said that, my smile lit up again and I moved closer to him as we cuddled.

Dad called us for breakfast and I got up and Ezra followed behind. We both sat at the table beside eachother and dad across from us.

"Did you have a good sleep?" Dad questioned.
Ezra and I looked at eachother, smiled and nodded to the question.

Dad smiled when he seen me smile. I was genuinely happy again, and it's because of Ezra.
