My Life The Way You Know It

Glory: part 2

We left the hospital about 30 minutes ago and are at the mall going shopping. "Ooo! I wanna go to Academy, Hibbets, Maurice's, and some other place. First Academy." We walk into the store I go to get 2 pairs of sweatpants, one pair of shorts, 2 pairs of spandex, 3 sports bra's, a hoodie, and three pairs of shoes (white converse, Nike's, and slides). Then we finish our shopping spree and we go to McDonalds for lunch since I only have $20 left. "Do you still want to talk about that thing?" I think it myself and try to figure out what he is talking about. "Oh! Yes, absolutely! Um... so we need to figure this out. (pointing between the two of us)" "Okay... What do you think this is?" "Well I think it feels like that we are a couple but it's just starting out. But I'm not sure how you feel because of what happened before so I don't know what to do or think." "I do now one thing. That one thing is is that want to be with you." "I'm just scared this entire thing is going to happen again." he pulls my chair toward his "I'm not going to loose you." "I trust you, I want to be with you, I just need to know that it's not going to happen ever again. That you will be able to turn down any girl that throws themselves at you at anytime. While you're drunk, tired, just won a game, anytime that there is. Anytime a girl throws themselves at you." "Do you not trust me or something?" "No I do but you know every single relationship I have been in. I have issues, I am an issue. I know I am you don't have to tell m-." "Stop talking. " he took charge and I found it very attractive because I am a bossy person and people don't usually take charge with me. I just sat there waiting for my next command not being able to speak, nor move.  "Now you are going to listen to me and not speak until I'm finished.  Understand?" I shake my head yes.  I don't know why but I just cant stop him from controlling me.  He talks about how he thinks I don't trust him and he it's not his fault that girls love him because he is "gorgeous".  I put my finger to his mouth.  "Shh..." he looks confused.  "It's my turn.  It's not that I don't trust you it's just you have so many opportunities to do so.  You've seen all of my relationships.  I know you act like you don't care or you didn't care.  I know you always listened when I told the girls what actually happened and I know you went and beat their asses later." I was starting to tear up but I started laughing and that's what made them fall a little bit.  I honestly don't know why but this boy just makes me cry. "Is it because of my sharp ass jaw?  I cut you with my sharp looks." He winks at me and I just roll my eyes.  I start to feel my phone buzzing and I see it's 1:30.  Everyone is texting me and asking me why I'm not coming to school and I told them that I don't have to today and I have a lot of homework to catch up on from missing three days and they said okay.  "You should go back to school we can finish talking later." "I'm not going to school until you do.  I haven't been since you got hurt.  Coach understands.  There's some practices happening today if you wanna come watch me." "I might. And don't think I'm gonna let you slide for being with me and not at school. Anyways since you aren't going back then we can finish our talk if that's okay." he shakes his head yes "Okay then.  We have to figure out what this is.  Are we dating?  Are we gonna pretend this never happened?  What?" "Well I stayed in the hospital for 3 days,  missed practice, and missed school,  for you so I would think you would already know my answer." He grabs my face making me look him in the eye, taking a breath in "I want to be with you.  I want you to be my girlfriend Leah." I can't help it but smile.  "Yay." he laughs at me.  "So if I come to your practices with you.  You would tell people that I am your girlfriend? Like you would show me off and stuff?" (I say this like I'm a little school girl, because it makes him annoyed and it's hilarious.) "If you keep talking like that then you are forbidden to come." "Forbidden really?  That's cute that you would try to forbid me from doing anything. I'm just gonna go to my gd's house and tell him thank you for everything. Bye Dylan." and with that ending statement I walk out.  I get to my car outside and right when I'm about to turn the key when flashes of that night come back.  I remember every detail up until I black out.  I hear a knock on my window.  I jump in surprise.  "Please open the door Leah.  Please." "Why do you have something else to say?" "Yes,  I do......  I like you. A lot and I don't usually like a girl that I've been dating for a little bit and I want to be your boyfriend." I turn my head towards him,  open the door,  stepping out very slowly.  "Yeah?  A lot? I want you to be my boyfriend too. "
