Shadow lives.

Chapter.24

"I can't sleep". I said. Richie was next to me.
"Tell me about it, after today how will we ever get to sleep"? I was a little tired.
"I know right". Did I mention it's almost 10 and my parents still aren't home.
"Your parents must be in traffic"? He tried to make me feel better about it.
"Yeah". I'm getting more tired.
"Good night". Richie said.
"I thought you weren't tired"? I asked him. He rubbed my shoulder.
"No I'm not but I can tell you are". He was right.

"Good morning princess"! He was right next to me and he was smiling.
"What time is it"?
"Six". He smiled.
"Oh good morning". I smiled.
"Did you have a good dream"? He asked smiling.
"Yeah, what about you"? I had a horrible dream, he has no idea.
"Yeah mine was alright". He kissed me on the cheek.
"Want to get breakfast"? I asked.
"Sure". I got off the bed, then he did.
"What happened to you... oh yeah, how did I forget"? I'm losing it.
"Weirdo". He said playfully. His arm thingy was on, oh god I feel bad. We walked down to the kitchen.
"What do you want"? I asked him.
"Um... how about waffles"? I put them in the toaster oven. Then got two plates and two cups.
"Drink"? I asked him.
"Water". I had the same, then I gave him his glass.
"Breakfast without me"? Oh come on!!! I know that voice any where!
"Barred what do you want"! Richie yelled. Ugh.
"Get out"! I screamed.
"Hold on, I'm here to apologize". He smirked.
"Yeah right you liar"! Richie shouted.
"Look I've been like a jerk, and um is there anything I can do to help"? He smiled again.
"No get out"!! Richie and I both shouted.
"How about your arm"? He pulled out something from his pocket and went over to richies arm. I took a step closer to them.
"Ew don't touch me"! Richie shouted, Barred touched him.
"Your welcome". And he left.
"What did he do"? I asked.
"I don't know"? He took off his arm thingy and started moving his arm around.
"Does it hurt"? He's supposed to stay off it.
"No". What the heck!
"Um well test it out on something"? I asked.
"Ok". He came over to me and lifted me up.
"I feel fine". He said still holding me bridle style.
"Take off the band aid to see for sure". He put me down safety then I looked away just in case.
"Oh my god"! He shouted. I turned around.
"What the heck"?! There was no bullet hole just a scar.
"Ok I hate him like 6% less now". I smiled.
"Same here". Wow that was nice of him.
"I'm just glad I can protect you know". I rolled my eyes, but smiled.
"I didn't know he could do that"? How did he do that, wait oh my god!! Again, I forgot about Celeste!
"Yeah, I knew...."
"Celeste"?! I shouted.
"Oh god we forgot"!
"Wow thanks dude"!
"Ahhhh Celeste"!! I screamed I was so happy she was ok!!!
"Hi Chrissy"! We hugged.
"Did he hurt you"? I asked.
"Nah". She smiled.
"Oh thank god"!
"I'll come by tomorrow, but I have to go". She waved and was gone.
"You ok"? He put his hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah". I tuned around and smiled.
"You know, I'm glad I took that shot for you". He smiled.
"Why did you"?
"I told you, your my world".
"Thank you".
"Hold that thought ill be right back". He started to walk towards the bathroom. I got a piece of paper and a pencil, sometimes I write poetry.
Strong
Brave
Smart
Like a whisper in the wind he says I love you
Taken away as quick as he came
Gone
Who am I now
Alone
No
He's says I'm never alone
Then where is he now
Gone
Never to come back
I am alone
But not for long
"Hey I'm back"! He sat next to me then looked at my paper.
"Hi". I smiled and grabbed the paper, so he couldn't see it.
"May I read it"? He put his hand out and smiled. I gave it to him. He started reading it. Then his smile decreased a little.
"Wow this is good". He gave the paper back.
"Thanks". I put the paper on the table and smiled.
"Is that about us"? His smile was weak.
"No of course not"! I rubbed his back.
"Ok". He smiled more now. I put my head on his shoulder.
"It's not about us I promise". I smiled. My fingers were crossed behind my back.
"What is it about"? He looked at me with a blank face.
"Us". I hated to admit it but I couldn't lie to him.
"Oh, do you want to break up with me"? His blank emotion became into sorrow.
"No"!
"You said that before with the poem".
"I don't want to breakup, do you"? He looked up quick.
"No".
"Then why did you bring it up"? Oh gosh why did I say that?!
"You can be honest if you want to break up".
"I don't".
"What's with the poem then"? He sounded mad yet his voice had sorrow.
"I don't know".
"Look, I don't want to break up".
"Neither do I"!
"Ok then". Who ends a conversation like that?!
"..." I had no idea what to say.
"Um this is awkward". He smiled.
"No duh". I rolled my eyes and barely smiled.
"Maybe we should break up"? What?!
"Wait what"?! My eyes instantly filled with tears.
"Maybe we shouldn't talk anymore"?
"Why"!
"I don't like you".
"Jerk"! I ran off to my room and locked the door. I was crying so hard. I didn't hear any noise. Then I heard something fall, I ignored it. Now I hear noise.
"Sweetheart listen to me, I didn't mean it"! WHAT!!!!! I opened the door, I could tell my face was red, And wet.
"Is this a game for you"?! I screamed.
"I don't know how to explain this but I didn't mean it".
"This is just fun for you isn't it"!
"Please listen to me". He tried to reach out and touch my shoulder, I jolted away.
"Ew don't you dare touch me"!!!
"Christina please, I don't want to break up".
"I do"! I slammed the door. He was pounding on my door. I hate him.
