She & Him (sequel to The Day I found Him) -Asa Butterfield fanfic

Chapter 8: Fools pt.1

Clariss

After almost 3 hours of trying to find her and contacting the police we stopped.  The police officer Mr. Sams said he and his crew would take care of it.  I was saddened by this. We headed home to go and rest a little.  Our day had mostly consisted of worries and tears.  My mother had not stopped crying, she insisted the police officer to let her keep looking for Isabella, but he said it was best if we just went home.  We soon arrived to our home.  Nothing seemed to cheer me up, not even Asa.  He arrived home the moment I called him.  We sat in the living room and talked.

"Well, do you have any idea where she could be?" Asa asked

"Not really" I said unsure of what to say next

I felt heat in my hand. It was Asa's.

"It will be alright." he said squeezing my hand

 I felt a little bit more sure after he squeezed my hand.  It felt right.

-------------------------- 2 hours later---------------------------------------------------------------------

I opene my eyes and realized I had fallen asleep in the couch.  The house was dark and quiet, and I was so confused.  I notice a little note was attached to me is said:

Valentina and I left to go find her.  Asa went to his house to get something.

Love,

Mom.

I was worried, very worried up tot his point.  I heard a knock on my door, I jumped up and ran.  I knew it was Asa.  When I opened the door I could not believe my eyes.  It was my little sister Isabella and net to her was a very tall handsome man.  

"Clariss!!" she ran up to me

"Isabella?! are you okey? what happened? were were you?" I had suddenly turned into the worried mother with all the questions

"Clariss, its okay.  She's here." the tall handsome man said

"Excuse, who are you?" I asked him carrying my sister

For some reason I wasn't afraid of him.  I kept staring at him, meanwhile deja vu took me in.  He kept staring, waiting for me to recognize him or something.

"Look, you gorgeous person, I mean you stranger, look whoever you are.. I want some answers, now!" I told him

He chuckled

"May I come in?" he asked me politely

"Umm sure." I said welcoming him in

It was weird, I usually never welcomed inn strangers.  But this was different, he found my sister.  I needed to know the why's& how's behind this.

"Here take a seat" I told him while

He sat on the couch.  Isabella ran up to her room.

"Okay so who are you?" I asked him

"Seriously Clariss? you don't know who I am? you don't recognize this face?" he said

I stared into his face. The big brown eyes, the straight hair.  It suddenly hit me..

"Hey! I know! aren't you the guy who was doing his community service in Isabella's class?" I asked him

He stared at me hoplessly. He stared at my hand, just were the ring was.
