Chapter 20

Time skip

It's been months since Andy and I got the results of the paternity test, I thought this would change our relationship but surprisingly enough Andy and I are closer than ever. We hangout almost everyday and I was there for him when his band Biersack broke up. Andy broke up with his girlfriend right after he found out the results partly because he found out what she said to me. He was livid.

There is a couple of weeks before Christmas break and I don't know what to get him. I am more stressed about his present than my end of semester finals. Andy and I have been studying for weeks which explains why I'm not so concerned about it, but maybe I should be. This determines whether I have to take a semester of any of my classes again.

Andy and I have a really great relationship, but I want more. We've moved on from the fact that we were never really related and we have built a beautiful friendship. But that doesn't stop me from wanting more. Andy and I have a connection. He understands me better than anyone else. I've almost even considered telling him about my childhood. He knows I don't like talking about it because of the trauma, but maybe telling him will bring us closer.

"No it won't, he'll leave you if you tell him about me. I can guarantee it." States Mr. Cortez.

Everytime I think about telling him I end up hearing the man who ruined my life, my childhood, everything say theellinghose exact words. I want to tell Mrs. Castro, but she'll think I'm crazy and I don't think she likes the idea that I to tell Andy about it.

School goes by quickly everyday now and I honestly am glad that it does. Andy drives me home everyday whether we hang after school or not.

When the school day ends I wait for Andy like I've done almost everyday since the beginning of the school year. He drives up in his new car that his mom got him because his ex trashed his after they broke up. When Andy pulls up I walk over to the passenger side and slide onto his smooth leather seat that is slightly warm from the seat warmer.

"So Ade do you want to go get food? Watch a movie? Study?"

"Um, well I do need to be home early since I need to talk to Mrs. Castro about something. So we can do whatever is fast."

"What do you have to talk about?"

"Um..."

"Is it about?..."

"My childhood? Yeah, pretty much."

"I wish you could talk to me about it." He says with a frowny face.

"I know I know, me too, but maybe one day I'll be able too. Hopefully."

"Sometimes it makes me feel like you don't trust me enough to tell me."

"No Andy I do, I just have a hard time talking about it. I only talk to Mrs. Castro about it because she already knows everything from the reports and stuff."

"I know, I'm sorry."

"Don't be."

"Do you want me to just take you straight home?"

"No, I want to hang for a little bit."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

Andy started the car and held my hand with him right hand like he so often did. Everytime he would I felt tingles go up my arm and down my spine. It was amazing. I know I have feelings for Andy, but how am I suppose to tell him?

It was rainy today and the clouds were so dark that everything else looked dark. Almost black and white. I loved it. I stared out the side window as we drove to the Joint. They sold burgers and fries with milkshakes. I loved it there. Andy had shown me it a few weeks ago and now I'm obsessed with it.

When we got there we took our regular seats and ordered the usual. We talked and talked for hours on end until about 5.

"Look at the time, I should probably get you home now."

"Alright."

I motioned toward my wallet and he told me he was paying. He never let's me pay for anything. I slapped a 5 dollar bill on the table for our waitress and walked out the doors to Andy's car.

On the drive home it was silent. I watched Andy tap his thumbs on the steering wheel along to the music. When he drove he had a blank expression, but it was a cute blank expression. He dropped one hand from the steering wheel and grabbed my hand, he gave it a tight little squeeze. He kept rubbing his thumb on my hand in a circular motion. It made me crazy when he would do that. There were tingles all over my body and I hoped he would never stop. It was amazing. The car ride to my house was coming to an end and he let go of my hand. He rested his hand my thigh which made me get goosebumps. Why does he have this affect on me?
