All about Her

Chapter 7

I sat up from the same white bed, staring at the same blue eyes i did this morning, he was stroking my jawbone in the white sheets .

"Hungry?" Joe asked, smiling at me

"Yeah, abit" i replied

"Is it almost nighttime?" I asked, trying to peer out the window

"Yeah, you had like a 2 hour nap" he laughed

"Shit, i must of been tired" i said

"Awhh" he tilted his head

"What do you want to eat?" Joe asked

I paused and thought about it,

"Pizza?" I smiled

"Sure"

~~~~~~~

He got everything out the fridge as i watched from the counter tops . I was sitting next to the fridge on the kitchen unit, holding a cup of water. I noticed, as i looked down at my cup he would look up at me, still searching the fridge . Its like he did this in his lessons that went on today .

"Is that your phone?" joe asked

A muffled ring came from the sofa with my bag on top. I walked over to pick up my phone from my purse inside my bag

"Hey?" I picked up
"Hey, where are you!" My mum screeched
"Im staying with one of my teachers"
"What?"
"One of my teachers, trust me, hes fine"i nervously spoke
"Why wasn't i notified? And whe-" she screeched again
"I dunno, the school said they would, anyway when are you coming back?" I asked

'Soon'
'How soon?'
'Wednesday night'
'So how was your day at wor-' the phone call ended

"Was that your mum?" Joe turned away from the counter tops and looked back at me

"Yup" i sighed

"Is she mad at you?" He questioned me

"Thats her usual self" i explained. I didn't want to go into detail on why she is the way she is to him.

He went silent and continued on preparing the food while i checked my phone.

'Hey, where were you today? I thourght we were going to walk home together?' Read a message from hena at 1:03 pm

I quickiky replied to her message and got back up to help joe.

"Here try this" he put his hand out with some pepperoni slices. I took them from his hand

"These are good, are you gonna use em?" I said, as i ate them

"Yup"

2 hours later

As joe was watching the tv with some pizza, i was looking out his window, i saw the reflection of myself in front of him. I could make out my small scar across the right side of my forehead from where i bashed it against the desk. I thought about the things he had said to me earlier. The things about how he had 'fallen' for me. Bullshit. No one 'falls' for me. No one will.

"Are you gonna finish your pizza?you haven't eaten all day" joe pointed down at the plate

"I dunno" i grumpily said

"What film do you want to watch?" He grabbed the remote

I didn't say anything. I stayed silent. Why would he lie to me about falling for me. How could he

"I think we need to put on a comedy to cheer you u-"

"Joe just stop!" i snapped

"Did i hurt you?shit, tell me" he raised his voice

"Im going" I firmly said. I sat up and headed towards the door

"No! Wait! Please!" His voice went croaky

"How could you!" I started to feel a tear go down my face

"How could i what? Tell me what i did, you know i wouldnt do anything to hurt yo-" he rushed over to where i was

"You told me you had fallen for me" i opened the door, onto the busy street, rain pouring down on the pavement

"I have" i stopped my footsteps and turned round to him. Behind me he was, the rain was all around us.

"Your not mine but i cant lose you, not now" he spoke softly and held my wrist and came closer. I was still silent

'Stay, with me'
'I will' i whispered

He held me tightly, stroking my hair. Rain was falling around us but he kept me warm.

Some people care too much. I think its called love
