The King Of My Nightmares

chapter 8

Here I am. Ready to grab a knife and end my own misery. My brother and dad are in the living room talking about how to hurt Noah. I can't help but to want to smash my head through the wall. What if they say something mean to him when he's here.

"You boys don't plan on doing anything mean do you?" A voice comes from the kitchen. I turn my head to see my mom walking out of the door. Shadow look on her face that made a small smile grow on my face.

"I don't know Mom what if he does anything to Willow?" Kyle stands up walking over to her with a turned head. "As the big brother I should at least have a small room to put the kids face in the ground." He simply said holding my mom by the shoulders.

"Mary the boys walking into some dangerous ground and he needs to know it." My dad grunts while sitting on his chair.

I sit there on the couch just trying to breathe. Small glimmers of earlier today flashback in my head. It wasn't much, but it was enough to make my breath leave my body just thinking about it.

as I sit and daydream about the whole event. I hear a loud knock on the door. My dad stands up with a grunt walks over to the door. He swings it open and there stands Noah.

It takes my breath away with what he's wearing. He has a nice fitted top on with a jacket over top, he has dark dress pants on and a few rose's. He smiles at my dad as he looks him over.

"Don't be mean Joe invite the poor boy in!" my mom yells but still keeping a nice voice. I look at him and then look at what im wearing. I'm so out of place. I just put on a nice pair of jeans and a nice shirt. I walkover to him and gives him a small smile.

"I'm sorry I'm a little late. But I got these for you." He says handing my mom some of the roses but keeping one in his hand. "And for you." He says with a smile on his face. It took my breath away. I grabbed it and smiled at it.

"That was very sweet of you dear thank you." My mom chirps giving him a hug. He really knows how to make a girl feel special. I don't care I have one flower. I have one.

We all walk into the dining room my mom starts to bring in the food. My dad cook some steaks on the grill earlier tonight. My mom made mashed potatoes corn and it looks like some pudding. I sit in my normal spot and my mom and dad sits on the end. Kyle sits right in front of Noah who is sitting right next to me.

"So Noah tell us how you two met" my mom asks starting to take a bite. I look down and think about how we actually met. I hope he comes up with something different.

"Well Mrs. White we where in 5th grade actually." He starts with a chuckle. "And I was new and she sat in the back. But I loved to sit in the back as well. So as I was making my way. I couldn't stop looking at her. She." He stops and puts a hand on his chin. "Cough my eye back then. She wasn't someone who begged for attention like everybody else in the class. And for some odd reason I just like that." He says simply. "So as the years go by and this year started I grew up a bit. And manned up and just asked her to go on a date."

I just look at him with wide eyes. Everything he is saying is true with the him being new in fifth grade me sitting in the back. Back then I was even more awkward and I just didn't pay attention to no one. I was unaware that he saw me. Everything else has to be lie, it has to be. there's no way none of this is true remember Willow your just pretending.

"That's so sweet!" My mom sings aww my mom has a smile on your face that I haven't seen in awhile. "Me and Joseph over there knowing each other since I think maybe third grade." Saying with her eyes beaming, looking at my dad who as well has the same smile.

"Let me tell you a love story boy." My dad says with out taking his eyes away from my mom " Mary and I have known each other since third grade yes. let me tell you when my feelings started going for her I had no control over myself. We were friends yes but even in fourth grade I wanted it to be more." I sigh and look at my dad as he tells my favorite story of all time.
