Rebel Next Door ~ Crawford Collins

Safe

"Crawford's here!" Brooke said letting crawford in. I didn't move, I just laid there on her bed. "Hey babe. What's going on?" Crawford asked walking in her room. Seth was sitting in a bean bag, watching the fan. He was furious, when we were little he would get mad and not speak at all. "My step mom told me I couldn't see you anymore." I said looking up at him. I was laying on my stomach, "what? Why?" He asked sitting down on the bed. "Our cop, Brad came over and said your family has a bad record." I said. "Damn." He said putting his hands on face. "Yeah so me and Seth walked out." I said laughing. I know it isn't a time to laugh but it's early and I'm tired. He laid next to me, "I don't know what to do." He said smiling. There's that dimple, I turned on my side holding myself up with one elbow. "You have the cutest smile ever." I said smiling. "It's the dimple isn't it!" He asked. "Maybe." I said. "Seth! Come here." I heard Brooke yell. "Be right back! You guys be good!" Seth said. "No promises!" I said. "Hey Faith." Crawford said. "Yeah?" I said looking at him. "Do you... Uh.. Will you... Umm.. Um.. Be my.. Well." He stuttered. "Crawford spit it out!" I said laughing. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. "Yes." I said smiling. He pulled me close and kissed me. It was like this morning.. But better. Way better, because now he was mine. "Not in my bed!" Brooke said. We both laughed. "Wanna watch a scary movie?" Brooke asked. "Yeah!" Crawford said fast. "I don't like scary movies." I said. "It's okay." Crawford said. "Alright fine." I said getting up. "Is that my hoodie!?" Crawford asked smiling. "Yeah, it's comfy!" I said laughing.

Seth and Brooke sat on the little couch, Brooke had her head on his shoulder. Crawford and I were laying on the big couch. He had his arm around me holding me. Every time there was a scary part I would turn around and snuggle closer to him. He would pull me closer and kiss my head. Soon I fell asleep in his arms. I felt safe, like nothing could hurt me.
