Saving Her

Chapter 12

"Princess I love you, you know that. But I'm very mad that you are running away from Justin? What's wrong?" My father voice booms as I try to hurry upstairs. "Get back down here." He says in a softer tone.

"Sorry." I looked at my shoes walking back to to the first step.

"Talk to me." He lifts my head to look at him.

"I umm.. Where do I start?" I asked.

"Start for the day of the game? You started acting different after the sleepover." He says.

"There's this boy.." I start.

"Is he in your class?" He asked.

"Um no." Rhys was never in any of my classes. "He's on the football team." I whispered.

"Ok continue your story." He said.

"I kissed him before his game.. He said he likes me and I like him too." I squeeze my eyes shut. My dad says ok. "After the game there was a party. Justin was there so was my crush and Kat. I saw my crush was girls all over him. It didn't even looked like he mind. But if he likes me why can other people touch him like that.. Then I made a huge mistake." I said.

"What mistake?" He asked.

"Can we sit?" I asked trying to distract him. He nods and we sit on the couch.

"What mistake?" He asked again.

"I um drank a lot and kinda had a fight with this girl." I blushed.

"You got into a fight? Why?" He asked.

"Because she kissed my crush and called me mean names. I just shoved her in the pool." I mumble.

"Ok so what happened after the fight?" He asked.

"Um my crush came and asked what was wrong with me. And I kinda threw myself at him." I played with my fingers.

"You threw yourself at him?" He asked.

"I tried to get him to sleep with me. I thought maybe that would make him like me more." I whispered.

"Alexia." He says slowly.

"But he told me that he didn't want that from me and that he only likes me. So we didn't do anything. He took me to his house and I continued to make a fool of myself until I fell asleep." I ignore the look he gave me. His disappointed look. "When I woke up. I was in his bed clothed with a killer headache. He told me he loved me and would never hurt me.. That's when I started distance myself." I finished.

"Ok so this boy.. You like him?" He asked.

"Yes very much." I whispered.

"But he's starting to remind you of.. Him." My father says carefully.

"Yes." I said.

"So maybe we or I can talk to him?" He says.

"No. Then he wouldn't like me." I shake my head.

"Alexia, if you don't tell him he will think that you don't like him. I know that you are having more memory dreams. You don't have to tell him just talk to him so you can know how he's feeling about this change that you're having." He whispers.

"Ok." I said.

"You're grounded though." He says.

"What why?" I whine.

"You kissed a boy, you went to a party, you got drunk, slept at a boys house and you kept it all from me." He says.

"That's reasonable then." I smile.
