Autumn
It's been a month and it keeps happening, I've been telling Ryan just not as much, also still keeping my distance from Justin and Raegan, on the way from home it was pouring down rain and I was listening to some music until a song came on that hit me in the feels and reminded me of my mom 'supermarket flowers- ed sheeran'
I tear up a little but continue walking home when I hear my own name echoing in my fuzzy head, bouncing around, curling into my brain
"Autumn?"
I blink and glance up, the blurry fuzz in my vision clearing up until I relied that the person I'd ran into with Justin, I wipe my tears away and take off the hood off my sweater
"Were you just crying?" Justin says, staring at my face and looking forever concerned. I open my mouth to protest but I just realised how pointless it was, I mean if I looked like it. It must've been pretty obvious
I nod my head wearily, and he looks at me, his eyes worried before grabbing my arm but then I jerk back in surprise,he let's go apologetically. "You should get out of the rain with me" I was about to disagree but if you think about it, a warm place sounds really good around about now
"Okay." I whisper.
He puts a hand on my back, fingers as light as air and leads me to a small coffee shop a couple of yards away. I'm just so tired I'm surprised I didn't just melt right there in the middle of the street
The smell of coffee and dirty wood floods my nose, I start to feel again. Justin steers me into a corner right into a little booth, disappearing for a minute and returning with 2 coffees. He wraps my hand around the cup and then places both hands on my shoulders, gently pushing me down into the chain until I am sitting, with a touch so soft and sweet, I can barely feel it at all. But nowadays that's normal for me, making sure a take a sip, eyes following the cup until I have set it back down on the table. His eyes are unreadable but I pretend that it doesn't make me anxious to not to know what he is thinking. Add soon as I swallow the warm liquid bit by bit , it heats my insides.
I look up at Justin, seeing the worry in his eyes, I look down feeling ashamed, twisting and fiddling with my hands under the table.
"I'm s..sorry," I whisper feeling my cheeks heat in embarrassment, as red as the velvety backs of the chairs we were sitting on. Leave it to me to shove my mess into someone's else's path.
"What..?" Justin's tilts his head, confusion filling his eyes "I don't understand, what are you sorry for?"
"For being upset. I'm sorry that I worried you"
"Autumn, stop that right now. We're friends, I'm supposed to worry when you're upset
-----------------
Two coffee and an hour of Justin's leg brushing up against mine lasted, I'm feeling much better, Justin holds his watch up to his face
"I'm incredibly sorry, but I have to go. It's my dads birthday and tonight we are going out for a family dinner" I shrug, getting up as well
"It's fine" I say not really minding.
He looks out the window, staring at the rain that has been going on pretty much all day. He turns back to me "come on, I'll give you a ride. You might get a cold in this rain" he suggested
"You don't have to, I'm fine to walk" he looks at me disappointed
"Autumn, its fine really. Please." He does some puppy dog eyes that are just too hard to resist
I walk outside with him and got into the passenger seat of his car and drove home
Justin
Autumn is so different, she hasn't talked, texted or called me in a month and today was actually nice to talk to her, well she didn't talk much. Like I said he is so different. She is more down and depressed but I know I can't get it out of her, I just need to get through to her some how.
I try my best to catch up with her at school but she keeps blocking me out. She is blocking everyone out expect for that Ryan kid that she hangs around most of the time. Are they dating? Probably. I missed my shot
Dammit
Shit
Crap
Doesn't matter.
She never liked me like that anyways
