That One Summer

That One Summer ch.18

Chapter 18

I was pacing back in forth in my room. Everything was stuffed into my closet. I was  biting off all my nails and Thomas was sitting on my bed just watching me pace.

“Mal--” He said. I held the hand that was not getting its nails gnawed off, and stopped him. I continued my pacing and my biting of the nails. I heard him sigh. I bit off my thumb nail until it hurt.

“Shit.” I muttered.

“Mallory, It’s gonna be okay. You need to relax. Come sit with me.” He patted next to him. I shook my head.

“Mallory, please.” He got up and wrapped his arms around me. “It’s going to be okay.” He whispered into my ear. I pulled away from him.

“NO!” I yelled. Tears started streaming down my face.

“What? Mallory…”

“It’s not going to be okay. Everything is ruined! My mom always ruins everything! Whenever something good enters my life, she always finds a way to mess it up! When I was six, I had a gold fish, and she got a freaking cat. When I was ten, she told me that she met a guy at a bar, but not to tell daddy! She told me that it wasn’t a big deal. I was ten, I didn’t understand what was  really going on. When I was twelve, I loved my life. It was perfect. Then, she went out with another guy, and dad found out, and so then, they divorced. She barely speaks to me, she doesn’t even tell me that she’s engaged. I hear it from a random guy! Then I come here to spend time with her, but she just runs off with her new boy toy. But…but now, she’s ruining something that means way more to me than any of those things. She’s ruining the chance that we have. She’s ruining my time with you.” I sniffed. I didn’t look at Thomas during my whole rant, so then, I looked up at Thomas. I thought he was going to be mad, but his eyes held care.

“You’re not mad?” I mumbled.

“Mad? Why would I be mad? You’re crazy. I wouldn’t be mad. Well, I am, I’m mad at my dad and your mom, but not at you. Never at you.” He walked up and wiped my tears away with his thumb.

“Thomas-“ I started, but once again, I was interrupted by the phone. I ran over to it and picked it up before Thomas could.

“Hello?” I asked glumly, not being the normal cheery self I usually was whenever I answered the phone.

“Mallory? Is that you, honey?”

I heard my mom on the other line. I froze.

“Mallory? Sweetie?”

“Don’t you sweetie me!” I yelled. I’m way beyond pissed.

“What?”

“Mom, what the hell? Why are you leaving Ben?”

“Well I would’ve told you the first time if you didn’t hang up on me!” She snapped back. I scoffed.

“Excuse me? You want me to be there for you? Well where have you been all my life? Off playing house with other guys that you were NOT married to?” I could not stop myself. Once I was started, I just couldn’t stop telling her how I felt.

“Mom, you’ve made me feel like shit for the last four years. You haven’t been there. Now you were going to get married, and not tell me. When I come to visit you, you’re off with Ben and you left me here with Thomas. Thomas has been here way more than you, and I’ve been here for what, a month or two? What does that tell you?”

“How dare you-“

“I am not done. Wait till you hear this…” I smirked. “Thomas and I…are…dating.” Then I hang up the phone. Well, slammed the phone is more like it. I was breathing hard, like I ran a thousand laps around the world. I felt so out of breath. When I finally calmed down, I looked at Thomas. His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his sockets and his mouth was hanging wide open. I walked up to him and closed his mouth with my hand.

“Careful, you don’t want flies.” I smiled at him.

“Mallory! What were you thinking?! You’re mom is going to kill me!”

“Let’s go cuddle and watch a movie. I want to spend the rest of my time here with you. Just you.” I grabbed his arm and pulled him with me downstairs to the theatre. We put in a random movie and just layed on the couch. His hand was running through my hair in a soothing manner. I felt my eye lids droop.

“Mallory?” Thomas asked softly. I picked my head up off his chest and looked up. Right with I looked up, his lips met mine. I was suddenly very awake. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he was holding onto me tight.

One thing led to the next…

I woke up in Thomas’ room, my body pressed up against Thomas. I yawned and stretched. God, I’m so sore! I felt Thomas stir in his sleep. I looked up and him and smiled when I saw that he was awake too.

“Morning, beautiful!” He smiled at me and wrapped his arms around my bare body. I smiled at him.

“God, last night was…”

“Amazing!” I finished for him. He smiled at me and kissed me deeply. Things started getting hot and I pulled away. I think I’m gonna take a shower. I hopped out of bed, bringing all the covers with me.

“Hey!” He yelled. I giggled.

“Wait for me!” I ran into his bathroom, and closed the door behind him.
