You've Changed.. (George Shelley Fanfic)

Chapter 9

The gardens were dark...

There were small spots of lights shining on the grass as little lanterns hanging on some cheap twine hung across and around the trees.

I walked along the crunchy grass watching each step carefully.

Completely out of focus in thought.

And hurt.

Each time I replayed the scene in my head I felt my eyes instantly fill with tears that I just couldn't stop.

I just wanted to run home and lock myself in my bedroom like the night when George moved away years ago.

I stopped beside a bench under a big tree and slouched down.

Burying my head in my hands and crying.

I felt like the one thing in my life that made me happy had just been ripped out of me and thrown away.

I felt like I was worthless.

Like I had no meaning anymore.

I lifted my head and wiped my eyes.

Not knowing whether to go back in or stay out here..or just go home.

I stared at the ground until a dark area started to cover the whole path.

It was like a shadow.

"(yourname)..."

I gasped and shot up until I was staring at...George.

I wiped my eyes and tried to casually look at him without him knowing I was crying.

He smiled at me with a guilty look in his face.

His eyes glistening beneath the low light & his hair perfectly sat around his head in a messy yet neat style.

I took a deep breath in and shyly looked down at the ground.

"You followed me out here?" I say quietly..

He shrugged "I just wanted to say sorry..I didn't recognise you"

I looked up at him "..you've changed"

He nodded "I know..but that's life"

We both stood there looking around for a minute.

He smiled & shook his head at me.

I frowned with a smile "..what?"

His eyes hovered up and down my body, I could nearly feel his presence go through me.

"Your beautiful..you always were"

I blushed and put my hands behind my back.

"Your not too bad yourself" I replied,

He but his lip with a cute half smile.

Before I could say anything else his hand was placed out in front of me.

I stuttered in confusion.

He jerked his hand and smiled at me.

I placed my hand in his.

He gently wrapped his fingers around my hand.

I turned mine so our palms were against each other...

George slid his fingers in between mine and They intertwined as our bodies got closer.

"Come back inside with me yeah?" He said in his deep yet gentle voice...

I nodded in shock..

What was ahead of me tonight..
