Treacherous Love

Chapter 6 ~ Drop Off

We arrived to my house about 30 minutes later. The rain was still pouring around us, now settling into a pattering tune of raindrops hitting the ground. I was curled up in Aspen's arms. His sweatshirt keeping me warm as I cuddled against his chest.

I felt his steps go up a small flight of hard stairs. Suddenly the rain was not raining upon us, causing me to open my eyes and look around me. We were in a more shaded area, and as I looked up I saw the brick arch above my doorstep, covering my porch. My concrete porch beneath us. "We're here." Aspen said, and gently set me standing up on my small patio.

I stomped in the little puddles forming in the indents of the cement, laughing about it, as I danced around the puddles. Aspen laughing at me too.

Then Aspen put my the maroon hood, over my head. I overly laughed at his actions, poking his stomach and laughing at him. "Stop it you're tickling me!" He said through laughing, holding his stomach.

When I turned away, to scamper to my door quickly, he grabbed my waist and piled me back into a hug against him. His front to my back, Aspen's head placed on my shoulder. His innocent brown eyes looking back to me. His plump pink lips placing a mark to my forehead, grabbing out hands together. "See you tomorrow, Beautiful."

I smiled, and blushed, my cheeks getting hot, against the cold weather, his smile returned.

He then spun me around, our hands still intertwined, like a Princess at a ball. And dis-connected our hands for the time being, and left me spinning for a few more seconds. Then he walked down my porch steps, his footsteps pattering with the rain.

Just as I was about to reach my doorknob, I turned around to him, and said with my hands in his sweatshirt pocket. "Goodbye Amazing, see you tommorow." I bit my lip as he lovingly winked at me, then waved, and walked away with his hands in his jean pockets smiling to himself.

I gripped my hands on the slippery brass doorknob, giddy as ever. And open the door into the sudden universe of inflowing light, stepping into the newly artificially lighted atmosphere. I could still hear the rain's continuos marching parade upon my rooftop above and surrounding me.

I walk into my warm kitchen and Louis comes into my view,"There you are Love!" He says rushing towards me. Lou-Boo enfolds me in a gigantic, bone-crushing hug, I rub my arms and back afterwards, when he pulls back. "We were worried sick about you!" Louis says addressing to him and Connor, who points his spoon for nutella he was eating at me, swallowing his mouthful of chocaletey, creamy goodness. They were not fake sneezing it pulling any jokes like they normally would have.

"Ya Sandra." Connor said. Great. Now I'm eaither screwed, their concerned, or very, deeply worried. All bad options.

"Where were you??" Louis says a bit quiter.

"Oh, I was just with Aspen, we walked ho-."

"You walked home!-"

"Ya."

"- in the rain!" Louis runs his hands through his brown tangled hair repeatedly.

"Yaaa, did you not see me?" I amusingly asked gesturing to my sopping wet clothes, wearing Aspen's too-big maroon Hollister sweatshirt still.

"Oh." They both grimaced taking in my appearance, and their anti-observant ness.

"Mhm." I said tentatively nodding my head.

Louis scrambled for words but found them and said,"Stop changing the subject Sandra! Where were you..."

"I told you I was-"

"Why did it take you so long." Connor added softly, turning around in his tall chair to face me, it squeaking as he did so.

"I don't know." I waited for them to cut in but they didn't. "I just, needed to talk and take things slow for a while. And Aspen is the person to go to for that stuff, because he is my boyfriend and he is very kind, and loving, sweet, caring, understanding... Unlike some people." I mumble the last part quietly.

Louis got out of his thinking state, as so did Connor, both looking very worried. Louis grabbed my elbow standing up to attention his pupils enlarging, most of his pure blue iris's being swallowed by a black darkness. "What did they do to you?" He asked aggressively but protectively.

Connor was frozen in place, his face draining of all color, as his blue/green eyes went pale, turning them over to me, as he gulped.

My eyes uncontrollably filled with tears. I did not even realize it until my vision went blurry as the memories of a few hours ago flashed back to my mind. I tried to calm myself down, by thinking of Aspen's loving touch. Pursing my lips looking down to my fumbling feet, trying to keep myself distracted, and not let Louis and Connor see my easily-read and displayed emotions.

But it did not phase Connor. "What did they do to you Sandra." He said, fierce, his voice holding back nothing.
