I Do Need You

Chapter 4 _Blue Hoodie

"Alexandra you are so much more to me"

His words play through my mind as I sit at the kitchen counter , taking a sip of my drip coffee .

I cup my own cheek , trying to relive that moment . The moment that leaves me more confused to how Will actually feels about me . Maybe there's hope . Maybe he wants to be friends again . I can't tell for sure though , he left me standing there with no explanation . I don't know what he could have meant . Whatever it is I just can't seem to let it go . Perhaps he didn't want to tell me . Why has he become so hard to read ?

I hop off the tall stool and make my way to the kitchen sink to rinse my empty coffee mug . Everything is still clean . I guess they got home so late that they skipped dinner . Not that I'm bothered , it's less cleaning for me . So far it's been a great morning , it'll probably be the only great thing about today , my mom is off from work and that means Steve takes off too . His such a control freak . I can't wait to move out . I'm stressing to find a job . I want to make my own money and stop feeling like I owe him something . His made me feel this way since forever , I just fear the day he finally decides to take it .

I take a deep breath , exhaling sharply . I need to push those thoughts aside . When did I become so afraid ?

I cross the living room , moving straight to the window . Dark clouds fill every piece of the sky , fuck . It might rain but if I leave now I might get to school dry . I grab my coat and put it on hastily . This is my favourite weather but I really don't feel like being wet right now .

Just as I step outside the rain begins to pour , shit . So much for getting to school dry . It's just my luck . It's still too early till the bus arrives , so I might as well wait it out inside . I turn around to head back inside when I hear a car honk way too loud , I jolt before turning around with a scowl on my face . What an asshole . It's way too early for that .

I glance at the black , simple car parked directly in front of my house . It's an all too familiar car . My expression softens as Will rolls down his window and gestures for me to get in .

I quickly run towards the car , using my tiny hands to cover my hair . I chose the wrong coat .

I get in the passenger seat , one rain drop away from being soaked . I turn to look at Will , his face emotionless as usual .

"I'm wet," I say as if it wasn't obvious .

"I didn't need to know that," he lets out a soft laugh . I didn't mean it in that context .

"Gross William," I playfully slap his arm . I'm really pleased that we're getting along today . I'm quite surprised but I'm not complaining at all .

"Take off your coat," now it makes sense , he wants me to freeze to death .

"Uh , no , it's freezing," I point out .

"Take my blue hoodie , it's somewhere in the back seat," he says , not making an effort to get it for me .

I unbutton my coat and push it down to my feet in the passenger seat . I hear Will mumbling something but I ignore his lazy ass . I reach over my seat in search for his blue hoodie . There's way more clothes back here than I thought .

"Uh , Alexandra... your uh... your..." Will trails off .

I turn my head to look at him , "what ?" I'm annoyed for some reason .

"I can see your underwear," he says as he struggles to keep his eyes off my ass . This is so embarrassing .

I quickly sit back down in my seat , trying not to meet his gaze . I cover my face with my hands , "It's okay , I don't need the jacket."

Will sighs loudly and with one quick movement he grabs the jacket and places it on my lap .

I say nothing as I slip on the jacket , smelling the scent he left behind . He has a beautiful scent . He probably notices my weirdness right now . Stop it Alex .

"You can have it if you want," he says as he starts the car , "It doesn't fit me anymore and it doesn't look too bad on you either." he says with difficulty and I burst out laughing at his attempt to compliment me .

"What?" He asks , looking back and forth at me and the road .

"Was that a compliment?" I ask amused .

"Maybe," he giggles , a sound I never realized I missed , "let me try again," he proposes .

"Shoot," I can't wait to hear this one .

"You have a nice ass," I turn my head to look at him . His biting his lip , holding back a smirk . I slap his arm much harder this time .

"What was that for ? I gave you a compliment , didn't I ?"

"That was inappropriate," I look out the window in attempt to hide my heated face from his gaze .

"Can't help that you have a nice ass," I look at him again , his smirking and when he turns his face to look at me , I notice how his soft green eyes seem darker .

"Okay enough , we're almost at school," he giggles as I turn my head towards the window once again . So weird . However , I can't help but feel flattered that he finds my ass attractive . Wait no , that's just weird . Forget that .

"Hey Will?" I call out and he hums , "do you think we're friends now ?" I ask as he turns into the school parking lot . The drive seemed long .

"Weren't we always ?" He answers with a question . A really dumb question .

"Friends don't stop talking to each other for no reason," I blurt out .

"Yeah , why did you stop talking to me?" He switches the car off since we're already parked .

"What ? Me ? You're the one that stopped talking to me , asshole !" I exclaim . How could he blame me ?

"And you're the one that stopped trying and moved on so quickly," our eyes are locked . He really think I replaced him ? With who ?

"You think I replaced you ? With Taylor ?" I ask confused . I could never replace William , he knows this .

"Fuck , no Alexandra , I don't give a damn about you and Taylor , you two should just fuck one another already!" He exclaims and hastily gets out of the car , I follow .

"Why are you acting this way ? If you didn't stop talking to me in the first place , we would all be friends right now , so don't try making things up." I slam the door shut .

He matches my angry gesture , "have you ever stopped to think why?" He looks at me , his angry expression fades into one of hurt . I don't get what I'd done to hurt him this much . I have no words because I have thought about it but I never had an answer . I have no idea why Will hates me .

"Why William ? What have I ever done to you?" I ask as the rain begins to pour again .

I notice William glancing right past me , is someone approaching us ? I turn around to meet Taylor's eyes . His smile glistening in cold weather . He hugs me tightly before I turn around to look back at William . His entire expression gives me goosebumps , the type you get out of fear . He doesn't say anything before he locks his car and strides towards the school . Taylor still behind me . I don't know what to think . I feel like I'm missing something . William is confusing me even more . I never once thought I did anything wrong to him . What could I have done ?
