Girl Afraid (Dustin Henderson x reader)

Chapter 7

Chapter  7

"Mike, what are we going to do?" I asked him as we took our bikes outside. We were on our way to school and mom was just locking up the house.

"We hide behind the trees by the electrical fence and wait for her car to go by, and then we go back" Mike said as he hopped on his Bike I quickly followed behind him.

We made it to the trees as we watched our mom's car drive past us without a second thought. I let myself breathe a little before I raced Mike back to the house.

We took El and let her go upstairs. I dropped my book bag in my room and I came back downstairs to see what we were going to be for the rest of the day.

"You want anything to drink?" I heard Mike asked her as I walked right beside him with El behind us.

"We have OJ, skim milk, which is nasty, what else?" I asked her as we walked into the kitchen.

"Um we have..." Mike trailed off as we watched her go into the living room. She went watched her as he looked around at everything else.

"Oh, this is our living room. It's mostly used for just watching tv" I said as I watched her stare at the tv. It's like she has never seen one before. "Nice right?"

"It's a 22 inch. That's, like, ten times bigger than Dustin's." Mike gushed about our tv. I rolled my eyes and then I thought about Dustin and him being alone at school with Lucas. Which is terrible.

She went over to our walk which was filled with baby photos of us. Recent pictures of Nancy, of holly, family photos and one of all of us in matching outfits. She stood up on the fire place to get a better look.

"Pretty" El mumbled to Nancy.

"I guess" Mike mumbled.

"That's our older sister Nancy. And that's baby Holly. And those are our Parents" I said to uuuuher as I watched her move to every single on.

"What are your parents like?" Mike asked her.

"Do they live close?" I asked her.

She didn't answer any of us as she moved around to our Lazy boy.

"That's our La-Z-Boy" Mike informed her. She touched the soft comforter of the chair.

"It's where our dad sleeps" I said with a little smile and Mike did as well, he got the joke.

"You can try it if you want" Mike offered to her. She started at us and looked up. "Yeah" Mike said as he walked over to her.

"It's fun" I said with a smile as I made my way over.

We kneeled on both sides of the lazy boy and we looked up at El.

"Trust me, okay?" Mike said to her.

"It's cool" I said with a small smile trying to ease her nerves. Mike pulled the lever and she falls back as the foot rest comes up.

We let out a laugh at her reaction of how scared she got when she fell back. She let out a nervous laugh as well.

"See? Fun, right?" Mike asked her as we both got up. We pulled the lever and the seat went back into its first position.

"Now you try" I said to her as I stood up in front of her. She gave me a smile as she pulled the lever and she went back.

...

It's been a couple hours and I wanted to give her a tour of my room. Mike left to go back downstairs because he did not want to be apart of our girly conversation.

"So, this is my bed" I said a so pointed to the bed in the middle of the room with light purple color bed sheets. The whole room had a theme of soft colors. "Oh, and this is my record player" I said I pointed to the big thing that was on my dresser.

"Record player?" She asked as she traced her fingers through the box.

"Yeah, you can play all sorts of music on it. But you need records. Here" I said as I showed her my collections that were in a book shelf. "I have, Fleetwood Mac, U2, The police, The Cure, The Cars, Tear for Fears, The Smiths, Red hot Chilli Peppers, Eagles" I said as I listed off bands on the top of my head. "Oh, I even have solo artists too, like, Kate Bush, Madonna, David Bowie, Elton John, Tina Turner, Debbie Gibson, Billy Joel, and Paula Abdul" I said as I ran my fingers through the records.

I gave her a big smile as her face lit up. It's like she has never seen soemrhing like this before. I smiled to her as I finally felt good showing off soemrhing of mine.

"Oh and here is my dresser" I said as I moved her along. "I have necklaces, earrings, bracelets" I said as I showers her everything. She didn't pay any kind of any of that stuff but she did to the picture that was taped to my mirror.

It was a picture of Dustin and I last summer eating ice cream. He has managed to spill his and try to take all of mine. Will recently took his brothers camera and took pictures of everything he say. I then begged him for the picture.

"Happy" She said as she looked at my face. I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Uh, yeah, I'm happy all the time" I said trying to cover it up while rubbing the back of my head.

"Happy with boy last night" she said trying to form words.

"Yeah, he was the boy from last night" I said quietly. If a girl that has never even met me before could tell I was in love with Dustin, could everyone?

"Y/n! El! Hurry up! It's boring down here!" Mike yelled from downstairs.

"Well, we better not keep princess waiting" I said as I grabbed her hand and took her downstairs.
