Meant To Be

CHAPTER SIX

ERIC

After my dispute with Alison at Dunkin donuts I decided to go out for a stroll alone, I didn't want to go home just yet to be honest, I never wanted to go home but I don't have a choice, Also with my dad coming this week Saturday I needed to be ready, I told my mom I'm always ready but the truth was I was never ready and I don't think I ever will be i never but looks like she decided to not understand.

And am sure she got the notification that 400 bucks was removed from my account, I knew she was going to question me so I had to come up with an excuse, Alison ordering one of everything was the highlight of today and- before I could finish i heard a voice, wait isn't that Ellie's voice I turned to see her entering the orphanage with the snacks she ordered in Dunkin donuts.

I followed her and stood outside looking at her, the kids were very happy when they saw her and all come to hug her as if they were familiar with her, did she come her all the time?

I could hear her clearly as she shouted ( who wants some) while all the kid's were jumping and cheering , it couldn't help but bring a smile on my face, I saw Alison turn and then before I knew it I hid, my heart was beatin- wait why was I hiding it's not as if I did something wrong I was just minding my own bus- hello Mr Young I turned to see Alison standing at the door step, ellie what are you doing her I said I didn't see y- oh cut it she said, I saw you looking at me then you hid so Mr young are you stalking me? stal... stal I shouted as I was stuttering. Stalking you? Yes why were you at Dunkin donuts earlier this day, and now your at the orphanage if that ain't stalking then what is it, Fate I said as I wink at her.

Eww she said as I laughed liste- before she could finish her sentence a worker from the orphanage came, miss miller the kids are waiting for you she said as she eyed me and thucked her hair behind behind her ear then Left, i looked at Alison who looked at me then made a disgusting face, before she entered the orphanage.

She I enter or not I said in my mind, before Alison opened the door then said, Are you coming in or not . No that you invited me I will.

We entered the orphanage as we saw kids eating the snacks Alison gave them but as soon as they saw her they all ran to her , one girl who looked like she was in her preteens came then looked at me then turned to look at Alison , who's this? She said as she pointed at me is it your boyfriend the girl said, no Melissa Alison said as she bent down to talk to her, you know my standards are higher than that she said, what does she mean by that?

Then can he be my boyfriend? Melissa asked Alison as Alison started suddenly started coughing. His handsome his just my type , Alison looked at me as I smiled at her.

Melissa his too old for you, then he can wait till I'm 18 when I'm 18 I'll marry him, we will have a big house with two cats and 3 kids.

Alison started laughing and her laughing brought a smile to my face.
I'm sorry but I already have a girlfriend I said as Alison looked at me confused, I hope she doesn't think it true, wait why should I care if she thinks it ture what's ongoing on with my brain.

Really, Melissa said I wanted you to belong to me she said as she started crying and throwing a fit . Melissa look it your favorite donut, triple chocolate glazed donut Alison quickly went to the table to get the donut and brought it to her, Melissa looked at the donut then Alison then me, Are you expecting me to chose between him ( she said pointing at me ) or the donut ( she said pointing at the donut.

Alison looked at her then said yes just remember if you choose the donut every Saturday I'll bring donuts for you and if you choose him you won't get any donut, you know why? No I don't Melissa said weeping and whipping her tears, because his allergic to Donut's Alison said.

Then I'll take my donuts Melissa said then grabbed the donut out of Alison's hand and she started running, Alison looked at her and started laughing. After 30 minutes we decided to leave since it was getting to late.

That was good I said to Alison, What was good? She asked . The way you handled the situation with Melissa, now I know you have younger sibling's. Your wrong she said I'm the only child. Then how were you so good at making Melissa stop crying? I'm always here all the times, it's practically my second home and I've learnt how to take care of them. What about you? she asked what about me I replied, do you have any siblings. I do , I meant I did ( I didn't know why I felt like I could trust her , I could tell her everything) you did? She asked.

Yes I had an older sister but two years ago we were in a accident and she risked her life to save me, I still think it's my fault and maybe if i- eric she said as she placed her hand on mine.

Look at me she said I rised my head up to see her blue eyes looking at me, it isn't your fault it has never been and it never will be, she just did what she had to do as an elder sister I would to and I'm sure if she had to do it again she would and she won't regret it .

Thank you I said as I place my right hand on her's no one's ever told me it wasn't my fault , she was always the better child and my parents never failed to make me remember that. Eric d- before she could finish i saw a motorcycle coming at her before I knew it I quickly grab her waisted pushed her to the other side letting the motorcycle pass ARE YOU CRAZY. I said as the motorcycle drove away, then turned to see Alison we were really close as I grabbed are waist and she held onto my hand. Are you okay I asked but she didn't speak she only nodded her head.

Then suddenly she let go of my hand and I let go of her waist. I'm going home she said as she started walking, Wait I'll walk you home I said as I started running to catch her pace. I'll walk you I said again, No no need what will you girlfriend say if she see's you walking me home. GIRLFRIEND? I asked as I stood infront of her, ohh is it what I said in the orphanage? ( I didn't know why but I needed to clarify this to her) Nothing she said as she started walking faster.

I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, I shouted enough so that she could hear me , I DON'T CARE she shouted back. I runned to her , let me walk you home I said as I looked at her. Okay but don't talk to me.

We're here she said after five minutes of walking, your can leave she said as she quickly walked to her door step.

Ellie, I said as she opened her door. See you tomorrow. She didn't answer me as she quickly closed the door.

I couldn't help but smile, in my former school I was know as the boy that hardly smile. But today a blonde girl made me smile not once not twice but thrice and just in a span of two hours.
