Just around the corner (drew phillips fanfic)

Chapter 8

It's Tuesday morning and people are still finding out about me and Drew now being an item. It's actually kind of nice, people have gone up to me and told me how cute we are together. But, Drew is really beautiful. I've heard some girls say I don't deserve having him as my boyfriend, but I guess they're just jealous. He's walking me to English, and my hand is intertwined with his. This has got to be my favorite thing in the world. I always hated the whole PDA at school thing, but it's different now. I want the whole world to know how happy I am to be with this weirdo.

I go to my last period class, the one I dread the most. Jacob's in this class, and it never's not awkward. I hate being around him, but I can't switch classes. Believe me, I've tried.

"See you later." I say to Drew, and he walks to his class. I really wish he was in this class with me.

I take my seat and glance up. Jacob's glaring at me. Ever since he found out about Drew and I, he gives me mean looks. It gets really annoying and distracting.

Class finishes and I try running out of there as soon as I can. I feel a tight grasp on my arm. Not this again...

"Wait." Jacob says forcefully.

"What do you want from me?" I say harshly. I need to get away from him right now.

Drew's probably in his car going home, so he's not going to be here to help me. He told me he had to do stuff after school so he couldn't drive me home.

"Drew's waiting for me." I lie, and try to pull my arm away from him.

"Why do you like him better than me?" He asks, and almost sounds offended.

"Are you kidding me? Take a guess." This is a joke.

"Drew lied about those rumors about me, I really did like you Ally." He explains.

I call bullshit, and no one can call me that. Drew's the only one who uses that nickname on me and I'd like it to stay that way.

"It's Allison." I say, and push him with my free hand.

He actually lets go, and I start sprinting for my life out the doors. It's sort of difficult with a backpack full of books on, but adrenaline is running through my veins.

"Allison, wait!" He shouts. Shit, he's not far away from me.

I run for about two miles till I have to stop, gasping for air. Why do I have to be so rusty on my running lately?

"Why did you have to run for that long?" He asks. Is he an idiot?

"Leave me alone." I breathe out.

"Not till you let me explain." He says angrily.

He has no right to be angry with me.

A silver car pulls up next to us and I hope it's someone I know here to take me away from here. Please let it be Dakota, she has the same car. She's my best friend and I told her all about this.

"What the fuck are you doing?" A familiar voice says as they get out of the car.

I look up and it's that brown haired boy that I am so in love with. Did I just say love?

"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to her." Jacob says, and stands up backing away from me.

I walk towards Drew and hold in the tears threatening to come out of my eyes.

Drew just glares at him and pulls me behind him.

"Get in the car." He orders.

I don't like being ordered around, but under the circumstance I jog to his car and close the door behind me.

Drew says something I think, and he comes back to his side of the car.

I am a sweaty mess from all that running and I need to open this window.

"Are you okay? I'm so sorry I couldn't pick you up, I'm just glad I saw you." He says, his tone less forceful than when he told me to get in the car.

"I'm alright. He said that you lied about what you said about him, but I knew it was a lie." I explain.

"He was lying. I swear to you, I wouldn't lie about something like that." He says.

"What did you say to him while I was in the car?" I ask quietly.

"I just told him to back off, and that if he tried to mess with you again he'd pay for it." He says angrily.

"Why are you so angry?" I ask. I know why he would be, but he really hates this guy.

"Well I hate him, and I want to protect you." He says, looking into my brown eyes.

"Protect me?" I almost whisper.

"Always. I know we've kind of gotten into this fast," he gestures his hand to us, "but I care about you. I don't know how I got so interested in you, but you take my breath away. I knew from the moment you said hi to me that I wanted to know you. No one is gonna hurt you when I'm around." He says, pain laced in his words.

A tear has slipped from my eye. I use my sleeve to quickly wipe it away.

"No one has ever cared about me this much." I whisper, knowing if I say more I will start crying more.

He puts my chin between his fingers, forcing me to look him in his brown eyes. My eyes are watering and he smiles.

"I care about you more than I can even explain to you." He says.

He leans in, and god I know what comes next. He presses those beautiful lips on mine, and I respond quickly. I put one of my hands on his cheek like he always does to me, and he puts his hands on my hips. My other hand is resting on his shoulder. We're in an awkward position since we're still sitting in his car, but it couldn't be more perfect.

The kiss starts turning into something more. He puts his tongue in my mouth and I pull away.

"What's the matter." He laughs.

Okay we were having the best moment here and my awkward ass ruined it.

"Uh, I didn't-uh." I stutter.

"It's alright." He laughs again, and then starts driving.

Way to screw things up Allison.

"Uh sorry." I say again. I'm so embarrassed.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Drew says.

I am an idiot.

I rest my head on the window and try to hide my embarrassment.
