May
I watch in surprise as Drew's drowsy eyes widen in shock then snap shut.
His raised head falls limply to the ground with a thump.
I grab his big head in my shaking hands and rest it on my lap as I frantically look for eny wounds.
Scared and panicked thoughts rush threw my mind as I think of haw much trouble I'll be in when I get home late.
I check my cheap dollar store watch only to see I have 30 minutes to get home and make supper.
"Uh-Oh......"
I look down at my little sister, Lilly, knowing that from her uh-oh she has something important to say. She points down at Drew then looks up me
"he's dead!"
Her scream attracts attention from a couple surrounding people.
An older women with curly gray hair and wrinkled skin hobbles over with concerned eyes
"What happened?
"Does this young man need eny help?
"I could call an ambulance for you if you need, dear"
Her words flow softly from her heavily chapped lips, voiced in deep concern and confusion.
I give her a confident smile
"No thank you ma'am"
She raises a brow and points down to the passed out boy in my arms as if saying 'then explain that'
I laugh nervously and dart my eyes all over the place trying to think of something
"Well- um, you see, my friend here,"
I nod my head towards Drew because my hands are being occupied holding his head and upper body off the ground,
"He has this thing, where-um, he kinda can get really-ummm,
Scared easy then you-know pass out and stuff"
I grimace at haw horrible my lie was.
It's impossible to lie to old people!
She shakes her head chuckling quietly and gives me a knowing smile.
"Oooo-k, I think we'll be going naw..."
I gently put Drew's head down and try to figure out haw to carry this giant of a boy.
The old lady laughs as if my panicking is amusing to her.
I check my watch again,
25 minuets left.
I bend down again but this time with a new determination.
I can not be late again!
I lean down in front of Drew's face.
Hmmmmm haw do you wake up a past out person?
I bring my hand up and lightly slap Drew's face.
He has surprisingly soft skin.
I find myself observing his face, from his full rose red lips to his perfect nose and his beautiful thick dark eye lashes that rest on his cheeks.
Oh gummy bears, focus May!
"Hey, Drew, hey,"
In between each word I lightly tap/slap his face.
"Drew!"
I shake his shoulders and slap his face again.
I look over at Lilly and see her poking Drew's stomach with a stick.
If we weren't in this situation I would probably laugh at Lilly's disgusted face, her lips turnd into a scowl, her noise is scrunched up and her eye brows are furrowed together
"Gaaah"
"He already smells dead!"
Lilly exclaims grabbing her noise.
She swishes her small hand in front of her face and looks at me
"Let's just run! No one has to know it was us!"
Lilly naw fully into her act falls to her knees and screams
"I'm to cute to go to jail!"
I sigh and decide to ignore her
"Drew, you have to get up naw"
I shake him again and he groans
"Dreeeew"
I sing his name while poking his noise
He groans and rolls over so his head is on the cement
"Five more minuets dad"
He continues to grumble random things as he grabs my hand that was poking his face.
My face flushes at the fact that Drew is holding my hand!
Even tho he is asleep.
He stops his grumbling and snuggles his noise into the palm of my hand with a cheeky smile.
I look around hoping that no one is seeing this.
My head snaps up to the sound of laughter only to see the old woman that I forgot was there, pointing at me and busting her old gut laughing.
Frustrated, I grab Drew's shoulders and shake him violently.
"Drew get up!"
His body jerks up panicked and we end up smashing foreheads.
I hiss in pain as I bring my hand tenderly to my soon to be bruised forehead.
Drew clutches his head with both hands naw sitting up.
He groans and squints into the bright afternoon sun.
I can feel myself blush.
For no apparent reason!
He looks up at me and I swear I see a little bit of a smile!
My heart flutters and sores at the fact that Drew smiled at me.
Gosh he should smile more, cuz it makes him look so adorable.
I sigh
I love his lips.....
Drew's face flames a deep red. He brings his hand up to scratch the back of his neck then clears his throat.
"Yeah, Mister you look awesome with smiles!"
My head snaps over to Lilly so fast I almost get whiplash.
Oh my gosh did I say that out loud!
"Yep"
I look over at Drew again to see a teasing smirk on his lips.
My eyes lock with Drew's and I get lost in the deepness of them.
Then just like that I jump up frantically checking my watch
Drew's eyes widen at my fast movement.
"Lily sweetie we've gotta go"
"Buuuuuutttt moommmmmyyyyyy"
Lilly looks at me with puppy eyes and pouty lips.
My face flames when j realize she calld me mommy, ever since my mum passed I've let her call me mommy, it helps her cope and I don't want to ruin her child hood so I help out as much as I can, god knows my so calld 'father' isn't gunna do anything to help with Lilly.
I sigh and look at a confused Drew
i lean In and whisper
"I'm not really Lilly's mum, obveasly"
I giggle at the end, I probably didn't need to tell him anyway.
His eyes widen and his face redins,
"Welp..... we've gotta go I guess.."
I grap Lilly's protesting hand and back away, still holding eye contact with Drew.
He simply nods his head and looks around confused.
"Bye hunny bunny!"
I look at Lilly in mortafacation.
Picking her up I basicly sprint away.
Well that went well.



Latter that night~

"You bitch!"
"I-I'm sorry"
the tears come down my face in waves as I stand infront of my foster parent 'Eddie'
He slaps me across my face with menace in his evil eyes
I cry out with a wimper
"You should have came back home on time!
this is all your fault"
My shoulders shake as I fall to the dusty wood flore in shame.
"If you would listin this wouldn't happend you little hore"
He spits his words in my face and h can smell the stanch of alcohol in his breath.
I hold back a gag
He starts to take of his leather belt.
My eyes widen in horor as my face visibly pales
"No"
I try to sound confident but it comes out like a whisper of a plea
I start panaking and crawling back words on the flore
"Please no"
"I'm sorry it will never happen again"
He smiles an evil smile as he countinues his aproch.
I start crying and babbling apologies a mile a minute
"This is what you get you little bitch"
He spits in my face and brings the belt up behind his head
Then in slow motion he brings it down on me with a deafening slap.
My screams go unheard that night and by the next day I'll have to go to school and pretend nothing happend.
Like always.
