Puppy Love~Corey Haim

Chapter 22

*Talya's pov*

I was so extremely excited to see him and comfort him. He must be hurting so much after all Matt said. I was jogging down the sidewalk and up his driveway to see him sitting on his steps looking down and his hands. I saw tears run down his face.

I slowed down my jog to a slow walk and approached him.

"Hi Corey are you okay?"

He looked up at me with a weak smile and said, "yeah I guess I'm okay. What's important is are you okay?"

"It was a lot to take in when I first saw it, but Corey, I never doubted you. I know you're a good person and I really like you a lot."

I sat beside him and hugged him resting my head on his shoulder. He then wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Talya, I got so nervous about what happened because I didn't want you to see me this way. I wanted to stay calm, but it was just all these things he was saying about me-"

"Shh Corey it's ok" I said and hugged him tighter.

"No Talya it's not okay. It's not okay because, well, I really like you a lot. Like a lot. And I don't know what I would do with myself if I lost you. You're the only one who actually listens to me and believes in me because no one else even gives me a chance. You're really different and you make me want to be a better person."

At this point I was smiling so much and had butterflies like never before. He really felt that way about me? Why me?

"Corey I-I don't know what to say." I was blushing like crazy and he looked at me and smiled.

"You don't have to." He said and kissed me.

I've never been this head over heels about anyone in my whole life.

"Come on! Let's go on an adventure."

And with that he grabbed my hand and ran over to his beat up, chipped paint, truck.
