A Midnight Stroll

A Midnight Stroll chp. 21

*************AMY'S POV************

I was going downstairs to get a snack when I heard Marleigh talking to someone at the door.

"Kyle?"

"Hey Marleigh, what are you doing at Amy's house?"

"I'm here with Liam"

"Oh, well is Amy there?"

Oh, no, Kyle's here. He was the last person on earth that I wanted to talk to right now.

"Umm..." Marleigh turned around and saw me on the stairs. She gave me a questioning look. I shook my head no and she turned back around. "Sorry but Amy isn't here right now" I sighed in relief and ran back up the stairs and heard Marleigh slam the door. I went back into my room and sat on my bed. A few seconds later Marleigh walked in.

"Thanks" I said gratefully

"You're welcome but I hope you didn't forget what I told you earlier, you have to talk to him sooner or later"

I sighed. "I know, I just can't do it right now, it still hurts"

"I know, but time will heal" she gave me a smile and walked out of the room. I got one of my books and started to read. I heard a tapping on my window but ignored it. It was windy out that dang tree was probably tapping on the window again. A few minutes passed by and I heard it again. I groaned. I went over to the window to see if I could move the branch. I opened it and a cool breeze came through.

"Back up" said a deep voice. I backed up. About two seconds later, Drew hopped in my window. Great I was shocked that he actually had the nerve to come up here but quickly got mad. If he thought he could just barge in whenever he wanted he was wrong. I had to stay strong and now let him get to me, no matter how much I wanted him to, he hurt me and I wouldn't let that happen again.

"What are you doing here?" I demanded

He sighed, "I came to sort things out"

Oh so that's what he wanted, well nothing in the world he could possibly think of would get me to change my mind. He could beg all he wanted, it wasn't going to work.

"I already told you, were done, no questions asked" if he thought he could just magically win me over again, he was wrong.

"Listen Amy, I understand how you might thing something happened and I don't blame you for that but please at least listen to what I have to say. If you still feel the way you do afterwards then so be it but please let me explain."

It almost sounded like it hurt him to say the last part, why should he care; he has the perfect slut, why would he want me. I thought about what Marleigh said, if I didn't give him a chance to give his side it wouldn't really be fare, although I don't see how he could even attempt to make an explanation. I sighed, might as well get this over with now. "Fine but then get out" he almost seemed happy when I said that. Then he sighed.

"Ok, please don't get the wrong idea or think that I'm just lying to cover something up. I would never ever lie to you Amy, ok?"

"Spit it out"

"Ok, so the morning after I left your house I got up to take a shower. When I got out my window was open and I saw Tiffany in the corner of the room. SHE pushed me onto the bed and SHE kissed me. I tried to shove her off of me but she held on. When you came in the room, it broke my heart, I knew you would think I was cheating on you and believe me, and I would never in a million years do that, I love you too much. After you ran away, I managed to shove her off of me only to have her rip my towel off at the same time. Nothing happened but I shoved her out of the window and went to run after you."

He grabbed my hands and came closer.

"You're too much to lose Amy and I don't think I can do it. Please believe me, I would go to the ends of the earth to make you happy but if you still don't believe me that's ok, but you needed to hear that and I love you."

Wow, that is by far the biggest lie I have ever heard, but I needed to show him I believed him. He at least deserved that. I yanked my hands away. If I was going to do this I needed to be strong and him holding my hands only shot sparks through them and made me weaker. A tear fell down me cheek. He wiped it off with his thumb. By now my eyes were closed.

"Drew Parker, if you even try to kiss me right now you're dead." I whispered with my eyes still closed. I sighed and opened my eyes. He was staring at me with hurt in his eyes. "Thank you Drew, for telling me the truth but I still don't think this is going to work. I'm sorry" I whispered the last part and closed my eyes again. That was the most painful thing I ever said in my life.

"I'm sorry you feel that way Amy but if that's what you honestly and truly want, then that's ok. Goodbye" I felt his lips on mine for a brief second and then a cold empty feeling washed over me when I realized he was gone. I slumped down on my bed and started bawling my eyes out. He was really gone now, forever and he was never coming back. I don't know why I just did that, but deep down I knew I had to. Drew was never the type to lie, especially to me but I just couldn't force myself to believe him no matter how much I wanted to. I continued to cry and just let myself go I don't know how long I sat there crying. After what felt like forever, I felt the bed dip.

"G-go away M-Marleigh" I managed to choke out between sobs, "I-I d-don't w-want t-to t-talk r-right n-now"

"Marleigh left, it's Liam" I looked up to see my little brother sitting next to my with a box of tissues in his hand and a worried look on his face. "are you ok" he asked. I shook my head. He healed out the box of tissues to me. I took one and blew my nose. "Do you want to talk about it?" I thought about it for a second but then remembered it was my little brother talking, my selfish, annoying, rapping, little brother.

"W-why d-do you c-care?" I asked still crying. He sighed

"Look, just because I may be weird sometimes and act all gangster doesn't mean I'm not your little brother, I care about you, you're my big sister and I don't want to see you sad"

I looked at him and believed him. Liam may be a little off sometimes but never once has he lied to me. "Thanks, and why aren't you rapping right now?" I asked

"Oh, that stupid rapping thing? I just do that to look cool in front of my friends. Sometimes I get to carried away."

I gave a light laugh. "So what, you don't rap in front of Marleigh"

"Well, she's different, she knows me to well, it feels different around her, anyway back to your problem. Do you want to talk about it?"

Wow, so that whole rapping thing was a fake, ha, I should have known, he was terrible at it anyway. I smiled, I really did have a nice little brother, it only took about fourteen years to realize it. I shook my head.

"Ok, but if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here and if you ever tell any of my friends what I told you, your dead meat"

I laughed, "Thanks Liam"

"You're welcome" he said and walked out the door. Even though Liam made me feel a little better, he didn't cheer me up. I started to cry again. I scooched up to my pillow and pretty soon cried myself to sleep.
