Chapter 12

Lauren’s POV

　

　

I felt bad for keeping Trent here with me, however he wouldn’t leave me alone anyways, and I did love him staying to entertain me. We played cards, board games, talked and helped me with the homework that Noah would bring. Noah would come over to chill everyday after school but had to leave around six for dinner. Trent would be there when I went to sleep, and still be there when I woke. He goes and picks up Ryan from school so my dad doesn’t have to and he can head to work. He doesn’t want to be home babysitting him while I’m here and I cant let Ryan see me like this. Thankfully, Noah volunteered to baby-sit until I was discharged.

“I’m surprised I haven’t bored you to death.” I smirked as I placed a blue number three in our stack of UNO cards. He looked up from the top of his cards and raised his eyebrow. “You, boring me? I figured I was boring you! I’m here all the time!” He dropped a green number three and looked back to me.

Didn’t Trent have some sort of life to get back to? “When do you even go home? I bet your father is worried sick.” Trent looked down at his cards, dropping his eyes from me and looking a little hurt. “He’s just so caught up in work anyways, I drop by just to say hello while you sleep.” I felt my eyebrows squint together making wrinkles appear in my forehead. “And your dad doesn’t wonder where you are?”

Again Trent’s face was full of pain and I quickly shook my head. “Never mind I didn’t meant o pride.” Trent looked up at me and smiled a small smile and cupped my cheek. I loved when his hand was on my warm cheek, I got the wonderful feeling as our skin touched.

“You don’t need to apologize to me Lauren. Okay?” His hand shook slowly, not noticeable if you look at it but I could feel it. “Okay.” I sighed, blowing into his face. Oh crap I think I have morning breathe!

“Oh God my breathe probably smells like crap right now… I didn’t mean to blow in your face.” I blurted. Trent smiled showing his teeth and scoffed. “Why do you have to be so damn cute Lauren?” He played with the ends of my hair and I gasped, my breathe caught in my throat. Trent though I, Lauren Andrews, was cute? I couldn’t help the tomato red blush peaking its way onto my face. A smile tugged at my lips and I rolled my eyes not accepting the compliment.

“Whatever.” I stuck my tongue at him playfully but he didn’t kid around.

“I’m not joking Lauren. Your beautiful, so gorgeous! How could you not know that?”

I gasped again. He called me beautiful and gorgeous! This time I truly believed it, though each time in the mirror all I saw was pure ugliness. What Mindy and Hailey would say to me about my appearance was always true… or so I thought.

“You don’t know how much it means to me to hear that from you.” Was all I could manage to say. I wanted to cry but I knew I couldn’t, I have cried so much recently and I’m beginning to get weak. Trent smiled down at me, and I swear I could stare at his face all day.

I’ve come to realize I cant fight with the feelings I have around him, and I’m learning to just go along with it, and not worry so much. After all, its only me reconnecting with people right? Trent couldn’t be feeling the same way, no way.

But why haven’t you felt this feeling towards Noah if its only the feeling of gaining friends back? A voice asked inside my head. I shook my head as if it would clear out any more thoughts. I have been friends with Noah, good friends. That’s why I don’t feel the feeling because I have known him and were just talking again.
