The Beginning of You and Me

The Surprise- Chapter 2

June 19, 2014
Steven and I didn't talk for the 45 minute drive home. We arrive just as the clock turns eight p.m. I see more than one shadow in the window and know that my little sister, Danny, had friends over. Of course. Danny is really social.
"Your HOME!" Danny yells, while running down the stairs and attaching her body to mine.
"Yup. And I'm pretty sure I'm here to stay." I reply.
"What do you mean your pretty sure?" Steven asks, worried.
"Nothing." I whisper back to him.
Then there's a ring and everyone turns to the door. When I open it there is a giant package that reads: THIS SIDE UP^ and on the side it says it's from London. I go into the kitchen and knife to open the package. Danny, Steven, and my Mom all gather around and watch me slit the packing tape with the blade. Then there's a burst of surprise.
"Surprise!" The package yells.
It's Charley Bagnall. My boyfriend.
I wrap my arms around him and kiss him like nobody's watching, but the thing is everyone is.
"Who's this?!" Steven yells.
I feel the pain and heartbreak in the air.
"This is Charley... My boyfriend." I replied quietly.
"Your what?" Steven asks, shocked.
"Surprise!" I say sarcastically.
Steven storms out of the house leaving me feeling guilty and ashamed. I don't even bother going after him because I know that he won't stop.
"I thought you told him about us!" Charley said sounding mad.
"I did... I guess he thought I was joking."
"Well, we have to go back to the apartment. Help me out of this box." Charley says, his cute accent makes me forget what just happened.
I help him out of the box and turn around to say 'I love you' to Danny, but she left. So did my Mom.
"Bye house." I mumble under my breath.
Charley and I get into the car and drive off to our new life together, forgetting all the bad.
