The Love House

The Love House: Chapter 15

I walk over to my house and Damen isn't there yet, which gives me time to think. And by think I mean let my nerves take over. I haven't really talked to him a lot since the kiss happened and to be honest he just confuses me. One second he's being the little jock he is and flirting with..well..everyone. And the next second he is being all sweet and kissing me in a zoo and telling me I'm his.

Damen knocks on the door and I feel myself cringe. I really don't want to answer, but I can't stay away from my problems forever. I open the door to a very pale looking Damen.

"Uhh. You can come in." I say a bit nervously.

"Thanks." he says coming the rest of the way in and taking the door from me and closing it behind him. I walk over to the couch a bit awkwardly and sit close to the far end. Damen walks along behind me and takes a seat not necessarily close to me and not far away either.
"Sooo." I say, averting my eyes to the glass sliding door to my left, looking anywhere but his green eyes.

"I wanted to talk to you about something." I don't know what to say so I just turn my head towards him with a "continue" look.

"Well. I just wanted to apologize for everything. I shouldn't have told you that the other day. You're not mine. I haven't claimed you or anything, so you can kiss who you desire. It's not my place to keep you from kissing Derek or the geek Johnny in my Physics class."

I look at him in surprise not really expecting that kind of sincerity to come from him. He doesn't usually show any... Caringness.

"Damen..."

"And I just wanted to let you know that I AM your friend and you can talk to me about anything you would like. I apologize for kissing you by the way. It was a mistake and I promise not to do it ever again."

That hurt a little bit... I enjoyed that kiss. That was my first kiss and the one who gave me it just told me it was a mistake. Irritation is starting to swell and I'm questioning why Damen called me in the first place.

"Ok." that's all I say because I've never had a conversation like this with anyone before. What DOES someone say to that?

"Alright well. I'm going to make my way out then." he says awkwardly and starts getting up to walk to the door. I don't even walk him out. He just managed to make me a tad bit mad.

For the rest of the day Damen manages to stay on my mind, which by the way only makes me way more aggravated.

That night I discover something that really makes me regret living in this house. now I understand why the previous owner told my mom and I about how many different families have lived in this house. And each one only for a couple months.

My house is haunted. That's right people. I've figured it out.

That one night when my alarm clock went off at 2 am for no reason freaked me out, but I figured it was just a mistake one morning when I was looking for the Snooze.

And tonight I have to admit I'm really freaked out. I'm laying in my bed studying for history because I still have a B in that class. I just put Aaron to sleep in my mom's room. And even though I'm reading this history book everything is going over my head because I'm really trying to figure out what to do with Aaron.

That's when my TV turns on. I look up a bit weirded out. And turn it off. I watch too many ghost whisperer shows. I'm always paranoid. Every house me and my mom have lived in, I have always been scared there would be a ghost in it. But turns out it was always me imagining things. But this. Was not me imagining things.
One second my tv was off and I am "studying" and the next second "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is blaring on my tv. I cannot tell you the last time my tv was on 93 volume. My ears literally popped with the sudden burst of noise. I thought the sun exploded or something.

After I turn the sun off, I walk (a little creeped out) to the other side of the house. I check on Aaron and see the sudden noise didn't wake him up.

I slide into the kitchen on my socks to grab a bottle of water. Ghosts get me parched. Haha.

After that little escapade I could not fall alseep at all. with my mom never here and me being the scaredy cat I am, I have a feeling I won't get much this week.

So I stay up all night glancing around myself paranoid and scared. Nothing happens though.
