Chapter 3

As soon as I'm done with my homework I head downstairs to grab a snack. When I get to the kitchen Colby comes out of no where and yells, "HANDS UP NOW! DON'T RESIST!" I scream and drop my kettle cooked chips on the floor. "Ugh! Are you serious? I dropped my children all over the floor!" He just giggles and helps me pick up the chips "since you're being useful where is Sam?" I demand, "oh, we were filming upstairs and I disappeared to come find you and ask you if you want to be in it?" I have to admit I was a little flattered but I made plans to hang with my gang, or as the Gems call us MLCEH. It stands for Major Loser Club Everyone Hates, they get creative because it's all of my friends initials into one. "I can't I have plans and I would never hear the end of it from the Gems but thanks anyways!" I start to walk away when I feel a hand clamp on my wrist, "who are the Gems?" Colby asks with a humorous look. "Oh, it's no one don't worry about it."

      I drive over to our MLCEH meeting and talk to the girls about Sam and Colby. I answer things like what is it like living with them? Do they like you? How long have you known Sam? Why haven't you told us about them? When I'm done answering questions we all watch a movie and I soon leave after. As soon as I get home I get out of the car and step into the night, I go to walk to the door when someone's hands wrap around my waist forcefully, another set of hands cover my mouth, and more pull my hair. I'm trying to scream and kick but it's no use I get thrown on the ground on the side of the house only to see that it's The Gems. They all circle me and as I try to get up one of them kick the back of my knee and I collapse whimpering. "What do you want?!" I prop myself on my knees. "Pipe down slut and listen, I don't think you get my rule about Sam and Colby" "I live with them until my parents get home I can't exactly stay away!" I exclaimed. That must have triggered something because I got a knuckle full of Chrysanthemum's fist in my eye. I tumble to the ground in a whimper. "Hold her down girls" as her posse tries to hold me down they scratch my arm and face up. "Ok so what if you live with them, but if I hear that you've been messing around with them you will never want to set foot into this town ever again! Aw is the poor baby gonna cry, do you want me to give you something to cry about bitch?! Huh?!" She bucks at me and I flinch at her words and give her an unsure look, "the poor thing is scared. Aww hun you need to stop being such an idiot and follow directions. Let's go girls before they see, oh and keep your trap shut." Before I knew it I was let go and a car pulled up with a guy in it.

      "You give it to her?" He said "of course!" Chrysanthemum replied. I blinked and then they were speeding away, I got up and walked to the door, fumbled with the keys and entered.

......

"Holy shit Erin what happened?!" Colby stressed. "The Ge- nothing" I quickly closed my mouth and tried to walk upstairs but Colby grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the downstairs bathroom. He shut the door and took out the first aid kit. I jumped on the counter, "I'm fine it's no big deal I fell-" "save it, I'm not believing you, someone did this" Colby said staring at me, both hands propped by my waist on the counter. My heart skipped a beat when he stared at me with such sympathetic eyes. "Erin, who did this? If they told you not to say anything then I won't but I need to know" my heart sank because of how caring he was- stop it don't think like that I yelled at myself.

I breath a heavy sigh, "fine, it were these girls from school but I'm fine see?" I jumped off the counter and danced/limped around the bathroom but Colby just gave me a sympathetic look as he patted the sink for me to return to how we were positioned. I rolled my eyes and did what he told me to do, I watched him as he looked through the kit and took out sterol wipes and inflammation cream. "You don't have to do this" I told him, "yeah but then I don't get to spend time with you and see who you really are." I felt my cheeks flush pink and looked down, he grabbed my chin and lifted my gaze to meet his and then cleaned my cut on my forehead and lip and added inflammation creme to my eye. I watched his eyes because he looked so fascinated with cleaning my lips, I'm curious as to why he's focusing so hard on them. He clears his throat and we exit the bathroom.

We talk for a while in the living room about my life and his getting to know each other more like whats your favorite color? Favorite food? What music do you like? Family? When I feel his eyes watching me, "what?" I ask feeling embarrassed. "You're just fun to look at" he said sheepishly. He looks at my lips then eyes then back to lips and leans in, woah woah woah is he going to kiss me?! What is he doing?! He's definitely not studying my mouth for my wounds! Ahh! Is this happening? What do I do? Should I! What if someone sees?! We are about to kiss when footsteps break us from the moment and we jolt back from each other "guys it's 11:46! Come to bed we have school tomorrow and I can hear you talking, Samantha needs her beauty sleep and I think Colleen does too." with that he disappeared into his room. After a while I clear my throat and get up, "thanks for patching me up" Colby gets up too and says, "thanks for talking with me, I learned a lot" he winks and it sends my heart into a flurry. Its fair to say that I didn't get to sleep much that night.
