Unexpected but Beautiful

Chapter Four: Mixed Emotions

I hoped into his lifted Jeep with a big smile on my face! He looked at me smiled and shook his head letting out a little laugh.
I asked him
"What, what are you laughing at?"
He said back to me
"Nothing your just cute!"
I felt myself blush so I turned my head to look out the window so he wouldn't see me blushing.

  A couple minutes pass by and we reach an apartment building that I have never seen before.
I looked at him and said
"Where are we?"
He looks at me and says
"This is where I live"
I kind of paused for a second. I was about to freak out but I just thought , Bella you're old enough you can look out for yourself it's nothing new.
The thought made me a little upset because images of my parents popped into my head. My dad had gone to jail because his friends got him in a bunch of shit. So he got arrested. My mom was very healthy, very lively. Then a big curve ball was thrown at us and she was diagnosed with stage four heart cancer. She was trying her hardest to fight but she had nothing to fight for, my dad wouldn't even come to the hospital. After she passed away. I had news that my dad had lost his life too. So I was left with the house. It was very hard..they gave me the option of living with my grandma but she was a very needy, greedy, and ungrateful person. It sounds mean but it's the truth!

   I felt a single tear roll down my cheek. Jc looked over at me, wiped the tear off my face and says
"What are you crying about is my apartment really that ugly!?"
Which kind of made me giggle and I looked down and started crying even harder, I don't know why I just had a mix of emotions. He unbuckled his seatbelt and jumps out of the jeep, and walks over to the passenger side of the car,opened the car door, unbuckled my seatbelt and lifted me out of the car putting me on the ground and wrapping his strong muscular arms around me. I felt his chin rest on the top of my head and he said
"It's okay I got you."
Ending his statement with a sweet gentle kiss on the top of my head. I buried my head into his chest and his grip around me got tighter which made feel safe.
