Let Love Bleed - A Before You Exit Fanfiction (On hold)

thirteen.

Rain sprinkled down from heavy grey clouds that hung over the darkened sky; delicately washing over the windshield of Riley's '67 chevy impala.

I was pressed against the leather seat, my soft eyes on the passing road.

 Every so often I could feel Riley's gentle gaze drift toward me.

I smiled softly, my nude lips showing white teeth and I met Riley's eyes at a red light.

They were dark and powerful; golden around the iris, and tints of green here and there.

His hair had been lightly showered with rain when we had made our way to the car.

His right hand left the steering wheel and in it's place, he took my hand; small and soft in his large, femalely smooth grasp, giving it a subtle squeeze.

I could feel my cheeks heat up; my lashes fluttered and my eyes moved back to the road as the light turned green.

"Hey, where have you two been?" Connor asked me the minute Riley and I walked through the door.

Riley kept his distance from me but I could see from the corner of my eyes, his gaze was directed towards me.

"We went for a drive, once it started raining we headed back." Riley murmured evenly. His voice was as smooth as velvet.

My heart picked up just a little. I had never lied to Connor and I've certainly never snuck around with a boy before. Especially my best friends(who was in love with me) brother.

He nodded his head and smiled at me.

I met his glare and smiled back, then I turned my eyes to meet Riley's dark one's.

He smirked and he walked off to the bathroom. I knew he was going to shower. He was a clean freak.

"So..where were you actually?" Connor whispered, causing my eyes to meet his again.

My heart really picked up now. "We went on a drive and talked for a little." I admitted, leaving out the fact we were on a date and we so happened to have kissed and the whole 'Connor is dangerous' speech.

I can tell he was jealous, just by the way his brow curved upwards and his lips folded into a flat line. But fortunately, Connor was not one to muse over self pity. He merely smiled slightly and nudged my shoulder. "Lets watch movies!"

I smiled in relief and followed him to the living room.

After going through Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse's Christmas, Lillo and Stitch and The Hunchback of Notre Dame I gazed over to see Connor passed out on the couch, his head on my favorite pillow. It had been my mothers. Snow white with red pedaled roses printed on both sides.

I grabbed the remote, shutting off the television and I laid Connor down so he was more comfortable; pulling my blanket over him.

I give him a chaste kiss on the cheek and strode to the bathroom to bathe.

I quickly washed my body and hair, also having time to shave my legs and underarms.

Afterwards, I brushed my teeth and changed into a tee shirt, cursing softly when I realized I hadn't grabbed pants or shorts. The shirt just barely covered my bottom but I sighed and shut off the lights, exiting the bathroom.

In complete darkness I began walking through the hallway, not expecting to walk straight into a firm wall...wait walls don't rise and fall. It was someone's chest. Their arms snaked around me, one hand covering my mouth as I began my attempt to scream.
