Chapter 8

"So I'll talk to you later?" Beth said, the light of her porch illuminating her stunning face

I nodded.

"I had a really fun time tonight" I said

"Me too"

She smiled and went inside.

Jeez what a night.

It took me and hour to walk home but by the time I was, the lights were turned off and everyone seemed to be asleep. I sighed, although I didn't want to enter the home I was really tempted by the thought if a warm bed and food.

I slowly opened the door and enters the cold, dark home. Just being in it brought back memories that I had tried so hard to forget. I was halfway to my bedroom when the lights flickered on. I froze

"So, your back"

I heard Marks voice from right behind me

I slowly nodded

"Yea, I am. "

I didn't dare look, but I could hear him step closer to me

"What do you have to say for yourself?"

I tried to control my breathing. I could hear his foot slowly tapping behind me

"I'm... I'm sorry for taking your beer"

Even though I knew I didn't.

He stood behind me for what seemed like forever, then he swiftly turned away on his heel and went back to his bedroom. I sighed out of relief and when to my room.

I didn't know what was happening with me and

Beth, but what I did know is that she drove me crazy.
