Untouchable

I'm With You

It's been about 2 months since Kevin and I started dating and each day gets easier.

We went from not being able to hold a conversation for more that 5 minutes to fake insulting each other back and forth and laughing. Being happy.

Something I'd never thought I'd have with Kevin.

Things were great... Things were great.

I woke up in my bed. I yawned and rubbed my eyes as I looked at the Polaroid pictures of Kevin and I hanging on my wall.

There was one where I was sitting on his lap and we were laughing and I had had my hand on his face as we both stared into each other's eyes.

That was at Sarah's house party.

There was another one of us on my bed and I was making a pouty face and he held my face with one hand, squishing my cheeks.

I smiled and wiped my eyes.

It was Saturday and Kevin was supposed to pick me up to go out for breakfast.

I picked up my phone and called him.

The phone rang 8 times and no answer.

I furrowed my eyebrows because he's usually up by now.

I was half ready to just walk to his house but I don't want to be "that girl".

I saw an ambulance pass by my house coming from the direction of Kevin's and I just had a bad feeling.

I began to panic. I called him again and no answer and again and again.

Until about an hour later he answered.

"Yeah?" He questioned

"Kevin? What the fuck I was worried sick about you why weren't you answering my calls?" I asked unable to control the angry girlfriend words from coming out of my mouth.

"Celia got into the drano and it got in her eye. They don't know if they can fix it." He said

My heart dropped. "Oh my gosh is she okay?" I panicked

"She'll be fine." He said

"Which hospital are you at I'm coming." I said

"No, Em. My parents just need to be with Celie." He said

I exhaled, "okay yeah" I nodded

"I'll swing by after okay?" He asked

"Okay" I nodded

"Bye" he said

"Bye" I muttered before he hung up the phone.

I sat my phone in my lap.

Celie is like a little sister to me. I hate to know that she's in pain.

I can't believe she might lose her eye. She's smarter than that I know she is. She would never just pour something in her eyes.

My mind raced and I thought about Kevin. I felt so awful that I thought about Kevin but I thought about Kevin. He would. He would hurt her.

No he wouldn't.. Would he?

I can't think about this right now.

I shook my head to try and get the image out.

I waited and waited for him to show up.

I paced around my room and then my phone buzzed and it was him.

I'm here

I bolted down the stairs and out the front door to see him getting out of his car.
