Unexpected

Chapter 2

Sarah

I drove all the way to my parents' home back in Leeds. I just needed to break away from all of my emotions. I mean, I already missed Aaron. Of course I was still in love with him but I knew what I did just had to be done. I couldn't handle the pain he caused me any longer.

I arrived at my parents home as it began to rain. I ran to the door, but it appeared to be locked. I knocked a few times, but no answer. I thought that hitting the door with my body weight would be enough to force it open, but it was useless. I was locked out of my home with no where else to go. I pressed my back against the door and slowly slid down to sit on the porch. I could feel the tears start to build up in my eyes. I just closed my eyes and hugged my knees up to my chest, trying to keep warm since I didn't have a jacket.

I soon met a tall boy with styled blonde hair that came to check on me. "He is really cute" I thought to myself. Wait, what? No, I just met him.

He saw that I was shivering and offered me his sweatshirt. I wasn't going to take it, but I felt that if I didn't I would freeze. He then invited me to stay in his house to keep warm until my parents got home. I wasn't gonna take that offer either, but he looked so sincere and caring, I felt it would be rude to turn him down. I reached for his hand, and when we made contact, I instantly felt that I shouldn't have touched him, because it felt as if I was struck by lightning. Butterflies appeared in my stomach, and I became nervous because I didn't want to embarrass myself.

We sat in his living room for a while talking, but I couldn't keep my thoughts in my head anymore. The flood gates had opened.

"How could a guy, that's as cute as you, be so kind ?" I couldn't believe what had just exited my mouth. I pulled the hood to his jacket over my head and hid my face, but then he replied.

"How could any guy let go of a girl like you" His deep voice my stomach uneasy, and I felt myself blush. He had done the same thing as me; accidentally letting words slip. I looked into his eyes, as he looked at mine. "How can one's eyes be as gorgeous as his? How can he be so perfect?" My thoughts were betraying me. I had just met him, I needed to stop. I pulled out of his gaze and started talking about Tobi, my friend.

"I should just call him to come pick me up. He and his girlfriend were going somewhere tonight, but they had to cancel because she had to go out of town. You let me just ca-" My voice was cut off by my parents car pulling in the driveway next door. I ran to the window to confirm that it was them. "My parents are here!" I quickly shuffled over to the front door, Simon following me. I turned and looked at him. "Oh my god, your jacket!" I began pulling it off when he stopped me.

"No, you keep it." He smirked. I had a big smile of happiness that I hadn't felt in a while. I stepped a little bit closer to him and hugged him. I didn't know what I was doing. I instantly felt weird about it, it being to intimate, but he hugged me back. I walked out the door, happier than ever, and went to greet my family. "I wish I got his number..." I tried not to think about him, but I couldn't. But then I instantly was reminded of the relationship that I was just in a few hours ago. And I still missed Aaron. I needed to stop thinking about both of them, but thoughts of Simon flooded my brain. "I love the way he smiled, his beautiful eyes, the way he does his hair, the way he talked..." I snapped myself out of my daydream, and realized that a guy like him was the reason I was in this mess. And plus, there was hardly a chance that I'd ever see him again anyways.
