A Confession To Believe

♥ACTB 6

I know that you'll think of me as a coward after saying this, but I just ran. I didn't know where I was heading, it's like my feet had their own mind and just took me to somewhere far away from where Tyler was. And I don't know why but my head started to throb but I still need to get away before he catches up with me.

Because right now isn't the time to have an argument with him. I might just blow up. I removed my stilettos and fast walked through the garden to the gates. I might as well just walk to our house here in East Hampton's. Truth is, our parents —Mines,Tyler's and Ella's— agreed to buy our own rest house here. It isn't really that big, just right for the three of us and a guest.

Besides, it's our last day of school tomorrow and I think I put up some of my clothes there. As I walk near the gates, I tripped on something and fell on my butt, my hands facing downwards as I fell, hoping that I wouldn't land on my bottom. "Ouch!" I yelped when I lifted my hands up and saw blood and some scratches on my palm.

Its like needles are pricking my palms! And oh fudge, my knees! God, I'm such a clumsy person. The cement on this area was the rough kind and gosh, did it wound my hands. It'll probably leave scars.

How am I suppose to get up without my hands to help me push myself up? "Lianne! Shit. Are you okay?" As if God was reading my mind, I saw Blake rushing towards me and now I remember that I'm in an embarrassing position.

"Uh, I guess so." I tried to answer casually to hide my embarrassment but I think my cheeks we're giving it off. I just looked down. "Your knees are bleeding! Jesus!" He said worrily and in just a matter of seconds, he had me in his arms.

So here's the thing, I am embarrassed as hell and I don't think our current position is helping me ease my accelerating heartbeat. I think my face is more flushed than earlier, like it's redder than a ripe tomato if that's even possible. He was like hugging me, with his hands on my waist to steady me and my hands we're resting on his shoulders.

"Ow..." I mumbled when I felt the stinging feeling on my right knee. Good thing he was holding me, if not I would've fallen again on the ground. The excruciating wound isn't helping either. It just made my eyes tear up a little.

"Uh, are you okay?" He asked and I just glared at him. "Oh, sorry. I mean, can you still walk on your own?" He apologised and gave me a sheepish look. "You mean, limp on my own." I retorted. I mean, the wounds are barely helping me!

He stared at me for a while and smirked when he kneeled down, his back facing me. Is it what I think it is? Does he want me to ride on his back? Or just me assuming stuff?

I just stared at his back, I don't know what to do, he isn't saying anything. And my stupid heart won't stop palpitating, damn it! I don't want to assume. Just go with it. A part of me said but I'm shy, I might be heavy for him, and I won't tell him that.

"Hop on." He looked back and gave me a reassuring smile and I exchanged him with a worried one. "Are you sure?" I asked, a bit hesitant. "I wouldn't have knelt down if I wasn't." He said like it's the most obvious thing. I just rolled my eyes with a silly smile on my face and hopped on his back, securing my arms around his neck.

"Am I heavy?" I asked shyly. Who knows that he's suffering from my weight and is just afraid to say it right on my face. "Kinda." He chuckled, "But, don't worry. I can manage." He said, his laughter resonated through the silent path walk.

"Thank you." I whispered in his ear with a smile and I felt his shoulders stiffen a little. He must've been tickled by my breath. "Oops, my bad. I mean, thank you. Really." He told me to wipe my wounds with his hanky earlier.

"Your welcome, then." He said coming to a halt, looking at his side. My eyes widened because our faces were just inches apart and our noses are almost touching! When he realized my expression, he quickly looked away and continued walking.

What the heck? Our lips almost....

"Sorry..." he mumbled. "Its okay." I answered still dazed. What the hell just happened? None of us was talking until we were near the beach already and I remembered.

"Why didn't we just ride your car?" I asked when it came to my mind. Why walk when we can ride for easy transportation right? "I didn't bring it. We used dad's." He answered. "Oh..." I looked at our surrounding and noticed that the beach was empty.

"Blake, put me down please. I'll stop from here." I said although there's still a bit of the stinging feeling left that my wounds made. "At the beach?" He asked. "Yeah, I'd like to stroll for a bit." I answered back. "Let me accompany you then." He grinned.

He wants to?
