What Is Love

Chapter 2

          I shot up from where I lay and sprinted down towards the bloody scene! " Sam! Sam! Sam!". I yelled continuously. What happened? Who hit him? What did he do? Why? How could someone do this? Questions raced through my mind as I ran. I ran in between the fight and yelled "STOP! Please just stop!' I looked strait at Sam who seemed to be having trouble standing upright. He teetered like a tall tower in an earthquake seeming to be trying to clear his head. Then I realized I still didn't know who had done this. I slowly turned my head and then cried out in shock " Jonah! what the hell is wrong with you! Do you know what you've done? Have you completely lost your mind!!" I screeched at the top of my lungs. " You don't know what he was saying abo-", "No! I cant believe you!" I interrupted him not caring the slightest. " Abbie is that- *cough* what are you doing here?" said Samuel almost seeming to be a whisper. " Oh my gosh Sam look at you! What happened? Never mind I have to get you home, you need help.' i said trying to convince myself to get out of there before I did something to my brother that i would really regret. Without another glance towards Jonah I grabbed Sam's hand trying to direct him to follow and he did.

         We were halfway down the road when I realized that he was limping. I adjusted myself so that my arm was under his arms helping him support his rigid frame. He put his arm around my shoulders clingging on to me afraid to let go and let the pain that was in his leg as it touched the ground. We walked like this a few minuets more. Then I couldn't help it anymore. " Can you please tel me what happened " I tried to say it without it coming out in a wine. " I'm not sure thats something you really need to know."  murmured Sam so quetly I could barely hear. "What?" I said. He just sighed and looked away. I waited patiently. " Well, I guess I should tell you now since your brother will probably make it sound worse than it is... um" he said slowly." Just spit it out already I'm going to find out sooner or later anyway " I said impatiently. " I-.. um- Me and Ricky were talking to Rebecca and Steve about the party you know..." he whispered, then he sighed. " we were talking about you .... and i didn't notice Jonah behind me.. and wow he can really pack a punch for his age, huh." he blurted " Just tell me already." I said as calmly as i could but even I could here the bitter edge in words that i  had said. " Well long story short um... I, um.. I said you were hot." seconds ticked by and i was stunned, I could feel my face burning. Its not that i hadn't been called hot before but coming from him it just sounded , different. We walked in silence a little longer when he blurted out, " i didn't really mean it , i was, well i meant it , sorta, but. *sigh* don't be mad please". Seconds crawled slowly by. The only thing I managed to say was "OK.". It came out kind of like a squeak. I hadn't realized that now he was supporting me more than I was supporting him and I immediately came back to reality. We didn't talk the rest of the way to his house. When we got to his house he turned to me. leaned closed to my face, to where i could smell the blood that had stained onto his cloths and kissed me on the cheek. He returned to his natural position, gave me an apologetic smile then turned to  go inside. I turned slowly and walked towards my house. i could still feel where his bloodstained lips had touched my skin.I i didn't feel like going back to the beach today, and anyway it was almost dark out. I looked up to the sky and spotted the few stars that could be seen through the grey clouds that were moving in.

        I raced home just missing the storm by minutes, then sprinted up the stairs into my room not wanting to face my brother just yet. I don't know why but i kind of blamed myself for what happened today. Why did i have to where my bikini today? it would have stopped a lot of trouble if i hadn't. I heard a car screech to a stop outside the house. I peeked out of the blinds to see my sister give Ricky a kiss goodnight then rush inside so that her hair didn't frizz up in he rain. I looked out of the window a bit longer staring at Ricky's stance in the rain. How i wished i were Melanie. How i wished to hold Ricky in my arms and call him mine. I'd had a crush on him ever since i could remember and it had only grown over time. He brushed his fingers back in his dirty blond hair, his leather jacket gleaming in the rain. The first thing that came to anyones mind is badboy, but out here in the rain he looked so innocent, he looked like the little boy I knew when we were younger. He got into his parents Honda civic and rode off into the storm. Was it fair that my own sister got everything. She had the looks, the perfect boyfriend, the biggest room, Ugh! Am I the only one who notices? I fell asleep deep in thought and for the first night in years i didnt think of Ricky in my sleep, instead Sam was the star in my dreams.
