Secrets

Chapter 7

I went downstairs with Dakota right behind me. We got to the bottom and when I went in the living room Bryce was know where to be seen.

I looked around but it was useless he was know where.

"Hey guys where's Bryce?" I said.

"Why I thought you were mad at him?" James said.

"Well yea I'm mad at him still but that doesn't mean I don't want to know where he is" I said.

"Well I don't know try outside." James said.

I went outside and saw him sitting there looking at the trees.

"Hey" I said.

He looked up and looked shocked to see me here. "Why you out here?" He said as He looked back at the tree.

"Well I was looking for you in the house but you weren't in there. James told me to look out here and well I guess I found you." I said as I sat next him.

"But why?" He said now looking at me. "Why were you looking for me?"

"Well just because I was mad at you doesn't mean I'm not going to worry and not care where you're at." I said.

"I don't know what happen to me. I don't know why I hurt you." He said. "I didn't mean to hurt you it...just took over me I guess." "Would it be okay if we can at least speak again. We don't have to be friends or anything but on speaking terms." He said.

"We can be friends." I said.

"I totally get why... wait what?" He said shocked.

"We can be friends I forgive it might just take awhile for to trust you."

"I totally get it." He said.

"Well I'll be inside of you need anything talk to me or the guys." I said standing.

"Yea I'll talk to you guys but I'm still sorry." He said.

"It's fine Bryce I'v forgiven you okay." I said.

"Ok"

I went inside and saw Dakota looking at me.

"Dakota?" I asked.

"What?" He said.

"If you think me and Bryce have anything I can reassure you we are just on speaking terms okay?" I said coming closer.

"But you seriously forgave him." He said as I put my hands on his shoulders.

"Yes I did because he said something took over him okay. It was probably because I was new." I said.

"Yea" he mumbled.

"Hey look at me" I said softly. He lifted his and locked eyes with me. I know we're not dating but I like him and he likes me...I think. "Don't worry about me and Bryce ok" I said.

"Autumn its just I like you what I mean by like is I like like you as a person who I wish would like me back." He said as he put his head back down.

I lifted his head with 2 fingers and looked at him. "If it makes you feel better I like you to what I mean by like is that I like like you as a person that likes me back." I said I smile at him.

He looked at me with shock in his eyes as he smilies.

"Can you at least tell me why you like this" he said as he points to him self.

"I like you because you can be yourself. I don't like you because of your looks those are just a bonus. I like you because you can make me laugh and make me a happier person." I said as he smiled even wider.
