The tears behind the smile.

Chapter 7: the beautiful stranger

It was cold and wet. I couldn't see a lot really, it was to blurry. Too many sounds ringing in my ears. I looked up and saw a face, it was still really blurry so I tried to get up with my good arm. I stood up and my legs were shaking, like there were no bones in my legs. I bent down and felt the ground, it was damp and sandy. My vision cleared and there he was... Jaden. "I thought I told you to meet me at the cafe, didn't i?!"

"Yes you did but then something came up Jaden, the whole world doesn't revolve around you."
"It does when I want it to Sammy, and I want it to now!"
God why is he being such a douche all of a sudden I never did anything to him. Jaden took me to a corner in the rocks. "What are you doing Jaden? Just leave me alone please." I tried walking away but he grabbed my shirt and pushed it with such force and anger into the rocks behind me. My legs turned weak and I fell to the ground.

"Haven't you done enough?!"
"Actually Sammy I was just getting started." Suddenly he picked me up and threw me into the water and ran away. It hurt so much, all the tiny rocks digging into my stomach. I couldn't get up though there was no use. I then saw this figure walk up to me. He put his arms around me and picked me up and lay me on the sand. I backed away and said, "Who are you why are you helping me?"

The figure spoke in a deep voice. He sounded about 16 or 17. He softly whispered, "I saw you getting beaten up by that ass wipe so I came to help you. Just let your hero do the saving." He started dabbing the cuts with a cotton ball that he got from a fight for rst aid kit. I flinched and he giggled slightly and looked at me.

"Are you ok Sammy?"
My eyes widened "How do you know my name,? Have you been stalking me because I can call the police."
"No! I haven't been stalking you I go to your school you just have never noticed me." I know he was a stranger but he was hot, he was gorgeous! I smiled softly and closed my eyes. He finished dabbing my cuts and I sat up.

I tucked my hair behind my ear which was pointless because it was so f izzy it just bounced back to its original position. He crosses his legs and played with the sand beneath him. He looked at me and smiled. It wasn't a normal smile, it was like a sad smile. It was starting to turn dark and I got a shiver. "Oh no are you cold her take my jacket."

"Oh no it's fine just a little breeze"
He shook his head and held my hand to help me up and went behind me and placed the jacket over my shoulders. He put his hands on my shoulders and I flinched. Not because I didn't like it but because he just dug out a rock from my shoulder. He backed away feeling awkward and guilty, he thought I didn't like the feeling of his touch.

"Oh, sorry"
There was an awkward silence. By the way my name is cole, I'm 17. I smiled, "Well you already know my name and probably know my age so.."
He did a cute little laugh that made me blush. His voice was so comforting. An old couple walked passed us and looked at us, they looked confused. I ignored it.

My phone started to buzz. It was my mum. She said she antes me to come home for dinner. Sorry cole I, I have to go. He pushed a piece of hair that was in my hair back in place. I was so tense. I didn't know this guy is he going to kiss me?! I closed my eyes tight. I opened one eye and saw him sigh. I think he was going to kiss me he just saw me tense.

He pecked my cheek and walked away. I feel so bad now, but I didn't really want to kiss a person I just met really. I slid my phone into my front pocket and walked in the direction of my house. I just kept wondering if he really did want to kiss me and if I'll ever see him again. I hope I will. He did save me. I felt so safe with him, I just don't know if I am safe with him.
