Hope

chapter 12

As Harry and Addie came through the door I took a seat next to jack. I ducked my head down so they couldn't bring myself my face Addison. Ever since she came I have been fearful that Addie was going to remember me. 

***FLashback***

I was waiting for Addison on her porch, since her mom wasn't home I had to wait outside. I just called Addison and she told me she was on her way back from visiting harry. Over the last few weeks Addie has been miserable, ever since the trial has started she's been missing  school  and crating lame excuses for not to hang out. But today I need to talk to her about something that I have been meaning to tell her.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a car pull up on the drive way. I got up and walked to the garage, sure enought saw Addie there, only she was still in the car and crying. I felt my heart drop when I saw the state that she was in. As I got into the car I thought of what I was going to say to her. 

"Addison?" I said as I sat down in the seat next to her. She slowly looked up at me, I could tell that she was trying to hide her face, but she doesn't need to. She is beautiful in every single way. Right now her eyes are red and puffy from crying, you can see the makeup running down her cheeks and down her chin. when she met my gaze all she did was turn her cry into a sob. Finally my body over took my mind and I leaned over to give her a hug. It seemed to calm her down. 

After what seemed like forever I loosened my grip, I pulled back  and rested one hand on her shoulder and another one on her chin. I guided her chin up gently so I could look into her breathtaking eyes. We kept eye contact for a long time, I couldn't take it anymore. I have to say it, and before I knew it I did. 

"I love you Addison." The words poured out of me. I felt Addison tense after I told her how felt. I have been waiting to tell her those words for weeks now, only that I was afraid to tell her because I didn't know what her reaction was going to be. 

Addie looked Down at her hands and started to fiddle with her fingers, she was nervous. She took a deep breath before speaking.

"Spencer what are you trying to say?"  She asked. And to be honest a I didn't know how to answer that question. There was a long awkward silence before I gathered the words that I was going to say.

"Addie, I know this isn't the best time but I don't just love you as a friend, I love you more than that. It's just that, uh I dont--" 

I was cut off by a pair of of warm lips pressed against mine. It took me a second a second to realize that we were kissing. My eyes fluttered closed with the sensation. The kiss started to deepen, my hands slowly rose up to her head, my fingers got tangled in her hair.  

We both pulled away to catch our breaths. She closed her eyes and rested her forhead against mine. I never wanted to leave this position. 

"I love you too." She said I between her breaths. I felt my lips curl into a grin. I opened my eyes too se her face. Only to find a frown.

"What's wrong?" I ask tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. She let out a sharp breath before speaking. 

"But I think I love Harry too."
