Trapped

Ch.5

We walked out and the silver eyed boy held the door for me and his friend. I took the lead from there after they refused to let me carry it myself. We reached my bike and the hazel eyed one whistled. "Sweet ride!" He smiled at me and set the bins on the back.

"I don't think you'll be able to drive those bins home on your bike." The silver eyed one said looking like he was thinking about something. I laughed embarrassed.

"Yeah...I don't think I thought this out...but it's ok! I'll figure something out. Thank you both." I said fiddling with my bin and seeing if I have something to hold it down until the hazel eyed one picked it up again and started walking away. I was stunned with silence and I heard the silver eyed guy sigh and smack his forehead.

"Uhm I don't wanna sound rude, but where is he going?" I asked a little scared that he was stealing my stuff.

He laughed, "You're not being rude. I think he's taking it to our car."

"Oh, no! I couldn't impose on you guys like that! You really don't have to do that!... Honestly it's ok..." I said flustered after realizing what he meant.

"It's really not a problem! You did a bigger favor for us!...I mean unless you feel awkward about this then we can work something else out."

Feeling bad for literally no sane reason other than not wanting to seem ungrateful I said it was fine.

"Where's your car parked?" I said still uncomfortable.

"It's over in that restaurants parking lot. We park there so that Albert can't wait by our car to catch us since he knows what it looks like." He laughed nervously rubbing his neck. "I swear we're not criminals..." He trailed off quietly.

"Oh ok. I'll drive us over so you don't have to walk." I said and immediately regretted my invitation because that meant he would have to sit closely to me. I wanted to burry my head in a pillow.

"That would be great! But..uh-y-you don't have to if it's weird." He said apparently having the same mindset as me. But for some reason after he said that I felt better. He was kinda like me and that made me feel more normal. I got on my bike and started it up and felt the back weigh down. I felt his presence but couldn't feel him and I knew he would have to hold on or he would fall.

"Uhm...you might wanna...hold on to me o-or at least scoosh closer...I mean otherwise you'll fall." I cringed at myself.

"As long as that's ok." I heard his laugh and felt him awkwardly shift closer. He gingerly placed his hands on my hips. I tried to ignore the fire in my lower abdomen as I blushed. I decided not to wear my gear because it would be awkward to have to move again.

I pulled out and drove of at a slower speed. He clutched onto me tighter as I went over a speed bump. I could feel his chin on top of my head hovering and I could feel his warmth making me shiver and blush harder.

In no time at all we were next to their car and I saw his friend leaning against the car and smiling. It felt like it took forever but it was only a minute at most.

The silver eyed guy got off of the bike and I shivered at the sudden loss of heat on my back. I tried to calm my blush but couldn't fully supress it. I stayed on my bike after telling them to follow me and I heard a part of there conversation as they got in the car.

"You got to ride with her!? Lucky asshole."

"Shut up, it's not like that!"

"Yeah whatever it's still luck. What was it like?"

"We literally rode on a bike together, you know I'm with someone else."

"Yeah ik but still, for my sake."

"She was warm and really small..." He said after a short period.

I couldn't hear the rest as they rolled up the windows and I started to drive to my house. The blush only got worse as I thought of what he said. Even though he said he was with someone else my mind kept wondering if what he said was a complement with meaning or just a comment for his friends sake. This is why I don't hang out with people my age. I either get bullied, led on, or filled with anxiety. I started to remember the horrible time in freshmen year... I found myself strangely numb to the sadness like it all happened many years ago when in reality it actually only happened a year and a half ago.

We arrived at my house ten minutes later and I parked my bike in the empty driveway. I grabbed my keys and hopped off the bike going to open the door as I heard the boys get out of their car. I stood holding the door for them as they brought my bucket inside.

"Thank you guys so much! I would offer you a drink but we have nothing but tap water because we just moved here." I froze after that and mentally yelled at myself for actually thinking about inviting them to stay.

"It's ok, we were happy to help!" The hazel eyed guy said.

"Thank you again for helping us with Albert. I'm sorry that we made you feel nervous." The silver eyed guy said. I smiled shyly at how sweet and observant he was. The hazel eyed guy was also sweet but in a more open way that made me feel anxious, not that it's his fault.

"Oh, by the way I'm Liam." The silver eyed boy held out his hand smiling brightly.

"Molly." I said taking his hand blushing at it's warmth. I pulled away and felt him hold a little but drop as well. He looked down shyly.

"I'm Elijah." The other boy introduced himself with the same wide and bright smile. I took his hand and felt the same blush at the contact but not as severe.

"It's nice to meet you both." I said looking at each in turn smiling.

"I don't want to seem weird, but can we get your number?" Elijah asked, and I smiled.

"Sure." I nodded my head finalizing it after thinking about it, even though I felt awkward. I pulled out my phone and gave it to them and they each took it in turn, calling themselves to make sure they got my number as well.

"By the way, we're twins." Elijah said out of the blue and I looked up and stared at them each in turn nodding.

"That actually makes a lot of sense!" I laughed shyly and looked at my feet. I feel like I've been a little far out of my shell today and it was starting to sink in.

"Well thank you Liam and Elijah, for helping me. I really appreciate it." I said it quietly very self conscious thinking about what they think of me and wether they like me or think I'm weird or... You think to much.

"It was no problem I'm really glad to have met you Molly!" Elijah wrapped me in a quick hug and I carefully hugged him back stiff. He smiled letting me go. "I'll make sure to text you. Bye!" He said waving.

Elijah turned to me and we both awkwardly stared at the ground. I have no clue what he was thinking but I was thinking wether to high five him or hug him. But I don't know because-

Suddenly I felt his arms wrap around me and I stiffly hugged him back. His hug was longer than Elijah's but I think it's because I actually had time to hug him back. Not that I meant not to hug Elijah, it was just so surprising. This hug was also surprising but I was physically a little more prepared.

"Bye Molly!" He said after pulling away and awkwardly trotting out of the front door. I smiled shyly to both of them as Liam got in the car. I waved as they left, closing my door and locking it after they were gone.
