The Reputation

Chapter 7

Chapter 7...

Julia's P.O.V

How could someone smile like that and be accused of killing someone.

I sighed and shook my head and entered the house.

I stepped one foot on the floor and was bombarded by questions from Ben and Clay.

"Where the hell were you?" Ben said raising his voice, "Clay said you were supposed to call me to pick you up" he said narrowing his eyes.

"Answer me" he said his voice lowering to a hiss when i just stared at him.

When I said nothing Clay stepped forward, "Julia, are you okay?" he said his voice softer than Bens.

"I'm okay" I said with a smile, "I just wanted to have a walk, and Blake still had practice so I couldn't come back with him" I said explaining.

"You should've called at least and said something" Ben said still glaring.

"Ben, Calm your tits. She didn't do anything" Amy said coming down the stairs, and standing beside me, "leave the poor girl alone" she said hugging my side.

"Well, sorry that I was worried about my little sister" he said glaring now at Clay who was laughing at what Amy said.

"Yeah, you should be" she said with a teasing smile, "C'mon Julia, go clean yourself and just do whatever you want" she said pushing me towards the stairs.

"Our conversation is not over" Ben said in a warning tone.

"Do they ever end Ben" I said walking up the stairs, laughing when he threatened to come after me.

I dropped my bag beside my door, when I reached my room and headed straight for the bathroom. I set my bath and went in.

Just as I settled in the bath my thoughts started drifting back to Ryder.

I thought back to the time where he helped me when Dave was harassing me, it made my heart flutter and I felt those annoying butterflies in my stomach that I shouldn't be feeling. Then the rumors I heard about him caused my face to turn from a smile to a frown.

I know I shouldn't judge people by their looks and reputation but I just can't help but think what if they were really true? I have been hanging out with a killer, not really hanging out but still.

Why can't I just have a normal life I thought to myself as I stepped out of the bath because the water started getting cold.

I went to my room and put on a white summer dress and my white converse and headed downstairs.

When I went downstairs I found just Amy watching tv.

"You going somewhere Julia?" Amy said once I came into the line of her sight.

"Where are the guys?" I asked in confusion, "yeah I just wanted to go for a walk".

"Ben and Clay went to help in the bakery and Blake just came, he's upstairs in his room" she said.

"Oh okay" I said with a smile, "I'll see you later" I said with a wave.

"Ok, take care" she said with a small smile.

I didn't really know where I am going I just wanted to have some time alone and out of my room.

I kept on walking watching some cars pass by on the street causing wind to move the hair into my face. I don't know how I ended here but I found myself standing in front of the cemetery. As if I knew he is the only one who would be able to help now.

I walked and knelt beside his grave.

"I miss you Jai" I said as the tears filled my eyes, "I wish you could just come back".

I went on and on talking to the grave like he was sitting in front of me about what has been happening.

"I wish you'd be here to defend me against Ben's over protectiveness" I said with a chuckle, and tears spilling from my eyes.

I stood up and wiped the tears from my face as I heard someone enter the cemetery.

I look up and saw a man with a hoodie over his face so i couldn't see anything, walking towards my direction. He stopped two graves away from Jai's and knelt to put some flowers before standing up again.

I looked away feeling as if I'm intruding.

I looked up a couple of minutes later feeling someone's eyes on me.

I gasped when my eyes met those green piercing eyes.

Ryder.

We just stood there staring at each other until I teared my gaze away from him.

I hugged my arms closer to my body suddenly wishing I brought a jacket.

"Dammit" I muttered under my breath.

I yelped in surprise as I felt someone putting their jacket on me. I turned around, my eyes meeting Ryder's.

I didn't even get the chance to open my mouth before he was walking back to his car.

"Hey!" I said waving my hand before he could get in the car.

As if he didn't hear me, he got into his car and drive away.

What the hell is wrong with him? I thought to myself, still looking in the direction where he drove away.

Is he like bipolar or something?

Sometimes he's this rude, obnoxious kind of guy and sometimes he's this mysterious, dark guy.

"Ugh" i said rubbing my hand all over my face and headed towards home.
