Chapter 25

"What?" His hands have moved back up so I don't have to tell him to stop.

"Did you just stab me?"

"No? Why?"

"My lower back feels like someone stabbed me" he starts testing areas to see where the pain is coming from. He hits right on the spin and I yelp so loud it could scare a shark.

"Jesus; mother of god that hurts"

He grabs the ice pack and places it on my spot.

"We should tell your parents about that."

"Then we need to think of a story as to how we found it" he moves off of me and lies down in front if me, looking completely confused and wholly sexy.

"Why?"

"Hey mom did you know I have a bad pressure point on my spine in my lower back region. She would say no and how did I find it." He still hasn't caught on, I roll my eyes "oh you know Will was giving me a back massage with my shirt and bra off and that's how we found it."

"What's wrong with the truth?"

"Sweetie my mom would freak out. You seeing me topless, she would find out we have done more than kiss" he stares at me like it isn't a bad thing.

"Alright we could say that I was tickling you and you rolled on your stomach causing your shirt to rise up and that's how we found it through tickling." I giggle and inch up grazing his lips with mine.

"You're crazy"

"Crazy about you" I giggle again and he locks his lips to mine...

My phone is vibrating somewhere in the corner. It's dark outside and Will is sleeping next to me. He looks so different when he sleeps. The tension that is constantly around his eyes has disappeared. It's heartwarming to know he can sleep peacefully though I wish I knew why he was always so tense. I wriggle out of his hold and look around for my phone.  I go out to the den and slip quietly through the door. It's a warm night out and silence fills the air. My phone vibrates again and I answer.

"Hello"

"April?"

"Yes" who is calling at this hour?

"Thank god, I thought I would never reach you"

"Um...do you know what time it is?"

"Oh yeah time zones sorry baby girl I completely forgot." No one calls me baby girl, who is this person?

"Look sorry to sound rude but only one person calls me baby girl and I'm positive you aren't him" there is a chuckle on the other end.

"How's my favorite sister doing?"

"Adam!! How are you calling me?"

"I got a hold of a phone and thought who do I want to talk to" I squeal and then cover my mouth aware that it is 1 in the morning.

"I'm glad you called me. I'm doing better know that you called. Yesterday wasn't the best day."

"Tell me about it"

"Well... It's sounds really bad."

"What happened?"

"I was reading your letter in class and then my...teacher took it and read it to the class I grabbed it and ran out of class. Will was sent to get me and I wouldn't leave my spot and Will carried me to the principal, but I told him I would break up with him if he took me into the office and he did. Then the principal called me a smart ass and disrespectful and I screamed at him and called my teacher some names. Got suspended for two weeks before I walked out on the conversation. Then I went home and ran to the rental house outside Dallas. Will came yesterday to find out what was going on with me, and he was upset that I meant that I would break up with him." Adam is quiet and I fear I may have lost him.

"I liked Will, please tell me you weren't as stubborn and stupid to break up with him" well then I am not stubborn.

"No we are still together, I'm glad you like him"

"See that's the main reason I wanted to talk. When you were missing, you and Will were in a huge fight?"

"Yes, we couldn't talk without one of us being cold or distant"

"Okay, well from what I saw Will was livid with anxiety trying to find you. I swear that boy didn't sleep the whole time." I smile thinking that I must really mean something to him. "I think he loves you..." No, he doesn't love me. We haven't known each other long enough and we keep having these up and downs.

"He doesn't love me..."

"Yes he does, a man in love will do anything to keep his women safe. He was doing everything in his power to find you..."

"That doesn't mean anything"

"I think you love him too" what no! I don't love him. I'm rational it hasn't been long enough to love someone and lets face it I'm a runner and who loves a runner.

"What! No..."
