The new girl

Chpt 11

When she walked in she stopped dead in her tracks. "Oh well isn't it the little slut and my boyfriend." She said smugly as if she was something. I looked at her and rolled my eyes. I hate Avery, she's a bitch. All she does is start mess and she is obsessed with Landon. She tries to talk to him but he wants nothing to do with her. "Ex boyfriend." Landon blandly stated. She walked out and strutted to her mini car and left.
Landon was very mad after that encounter. He wouldn't eat the rest of his food and he didn't wanna talk. We got up to leave and I took his keys and ran to the truck. I hopped in and when he opened his door I layed down over the seat and stuck my tongue out at him. He smiled and hopped in, I sat up and grabbed his hand.
"Why do
You do that to me?" He asked . I was a little taken off guard as I answered. "Do what?" "Why do you ignore me or distance yourself but some days you care and are affectionate toward me?" I choked on my words. I know he was right but I have a good reason.

"Please tell me what's wrong lakyn." He pleaded. I turned to him and decided to tell him everything.

I began telling him. "5 years ago me and my twin were going to the beach with me mom. I wasn't super young but I was young. We got into the car and me and my sister were arguing over a toy or peace of clothing I don't even remember and I got mad so I hit my sister. My mom was trying to stop us and she turned around for a split second, at the same time a drunk driver swerved into our lane. He hit us head on. All I remember is my mom screaming for help and my sisters lifeless body laying beside me. My mother died not long after and I was trapped in the car waiting for the police. I've always thought maybe if I wouldn't have hit her my mom would've kept watching the road. Maybe she'd seen the man." I began choking, it felt like my throat was closing. I managed to keep talking though. "My sister was my bestfriend and I was the reason she died. Our mother adored us and loved us dearly and I'm the reason she's dead. Ever since that day I've never been the same. I moved in with my dad and promised that I'd never care about anyone again. I stay distant because I don't want to lose anyone or hurt anyone again. I can barely live with myself."

I seen landon in shock I could see in his eyes how much he was pitying me. Without a second thought he reached over to me and pulled me into his lap, into a warm hug. I layed my head against his chest and cried.
