Chapter 16
I ran my hand across my bed and it was empty. My eyes flew open and the emptiness was confirmed. I started to panic.
Did he seriously just leave after last night?
I sat up. I felt tears prick my eyes.
I knew I should've never done that. He's just like every one else. He's-
"Morning sunshine." He walked into my room carrying a plate of food.
He cooks?
"I thought I'd make pancakes. If that's ok with you?" He sat next to me.
On the plate was pancakes- shaped like hearts-, eggs, and bacon.
"No that's perfectly fine. I just thought you left me." I looked at him.
He looked at me and frowned. He wiped away my tears and kissed my cheeks.
"I wouldn't leave you without telling you first." He took my hand and laced our fingers together.
I smiled and allowed myself to enjoy the feeling he gave me for the first time. His kissed my temple.
"I'm gonna try so hard not to screw this up. If I do anything you don't like just tell me and I'll stop doing it." He uses his free hand to move my hair behind my ear.
"Just be yourself." I smiled slightly.
"Don't say that. If I be myself I'll end up cheating and probably leaving you by next week. I don't wanna do that. I really really like you and I want us to last a long time." We both held each others hand tighter.
"I want us to last a long time too."
He smiled before kissing me lightly.
"Let's not let this food go to waste." He let go of my hand.
I didn't want to let go but I forced myself to let go.
"It's one D!" He yelled. "You act like its an F! You said I have to be passing! A D is passing!!"
"A D is barely passing. Either bring your grade up or instead of going to Paris you'll be in London with your cousins." His father yelled.
"You can't do that!!"
"You live under my roof. I can do whatever I want." He yelled.
"Man whatever. I just wish you'd roll over and die." He scoffed.
Tears pricked my eyes.
He doesn't know how lucky he is to have a father. I don't even have one and he wishes his would roll over and die. I know he doesn't mean it, it's just a horrible thing to say.
The silence stretched out until Zane came in his room slamming the door hard. I jumped and quickly wiped my face.
"He gets on my nerves sometimes." He opened his drawers, looked through them and then slammed them closed.
It always caught me by surprise cause he slammed it with so much force it scared me.
"I just wish he'd die." He mumbled.
I tried to hold back my tears but I couldn't. My sobbing wasn't exactly quiet.
He seemed to realize what he said. He sighed and leaned against his dresser.
"I didn't mean to say any of that Roxie. I just forgot you were here for a second." He went back to looking through his drawers.
"I-I know it's just a horrible thing to say. Considering both kids and teens are out there without a father in their lives." I wiped my face.

Random"If you can look me in the eyes and say you don't like me honestly I'll leave you alone." A rain drop trickled down the bridge of his nose. "I just- I- I don't-" I stuttered horribly. He gripped me by the arms and pulled me towards him. I swea...
