My story

Chapter; 11

The air brushed the hair out of my face as I walked through the bright green trees. I looked up at the sun and sat down in the dirt. I ran my hands up and down my legs. ‘Olivia?’ I thought in my head ‘Olivia.’ I stated. ‘Why? Why Olivia?’ I slammed my fist in the dirt and created a smoke.

Why couldn’t he like me? Why? Wasn’t I fake enough? Wasn’t I dumb enough? WHY? Why wasn’t I liked at school? Why did people hate me so much for nothing? I had so many questions that I wanted to be answered. Reece was my last chance. My last friend. If this ended, I don’t know what would happen.

I looked back up at the sun behind the clouds. They were becoming darker, and the wind was becoming stronger. I looked around as it started to rain ‘Fuck’ I said to myself. The rain became heavier and stronger ‘Shit, shit, shit’

The wind was starting to blow my hair everywhere and I couldn’t see anything. I started running back to the house, I was running so hard and strong, but the wind wasn’t on my side.

As I came to Reece’s street I could see his house in the distance. I was approaching his house faster and faster. I was scared that he’d yell at me or that they thought I was stupid for going out. I feared him so much at the moment. What if?

I knocked on the door and it flung open. ‘Amber!’ Reece said greeting me into a big hug. His warm bear muscular arms comported me. I smelt his smell. No deodorant, just Reece ‘Where were you?’ he said shutting the door behind me ‘I just went to that place with a lot of trees and wild life and I said I’d be out, so you shouldn’t have worried.’ I said sitting into the couch.

Reece turned to me and looked me dead in the eyes, he’s eyes dropped and so did his head (I can’t explain, but he’s be looking like this face -.- or -_- that face) ‘Amber, did you bloody see the weather out there? How could I not worry about you? Silly girl’ Reece said shaking his head and letting a little laugh out

‘Fair enough. Where is everybody anyway?’ I said looking around the empty house. ‘They’ve just gone to go and get some groceries, and I stayed waiting for you to come home, and lucky I did because it’s getting pretty bloody nasty outside.’ He said looking through the window. ‘Thanks’ I said smiling.

‘So when’s your date?’ I asked him while he shut the citrons. He turned and looked at me. ‘Tonight at like 7’ He said while looking at the time. ‘I still have like 3 hours to get ready.’ He said relived. ‘What are YOU going to do tonight missy?’ He said to me sitting back on the couch and closing his eyes ‘I might try and catch up on some sleep.’ I said. I really didn’t want to disturb this family. They’re all so lovely

He sat back up and rolled his eyes around to face me ‘If you’re going to be family, you’ve at lest got to talk to them’ He sighed. ‘I will, but what if I say the wrong thing?’ I said starting to get anxious. My palms started to sweat and my heart was raising faster ‘I think they’d understand, Amber’ I looked down into my palms which were now resting on my lap.

I sighed. ‘Yeah, I guess...’ I said, still looking at my palms. Reece put his finger on my chin and lifted my head up to face his, only inches away. I could smell his minty breath. ‘You’re always welcome here Amber. We already love you’

My heart sprung at the word ‘love’. Reece doesn’t know how much this means to me, to have someone love me. It would be hard to love a reject. I hope to god, they do. So I can have a family and they might give me hope.

 ‘Now, Amber’ he cleared his throat and sat up straight. He rested a hand on my thigh. My belly got butterflies when he touched me. Anytime and every time. I’m really hopelessly falling for Reece.

‘LET’S GO MAKE ME LOOK SEXY!’ He said, jumping up and walking to his room. I sat there staring at him, really confused. ‘Are you coming? You might get to see me topless’ he wink and smiled at me. Reece, topless, again? Too much sexiness in one day. I smiled at him and laughed ‘Sure.’ I said following him to his room.

He closed his bedroom door and turned around. I was getting really scared, but really excited at the same time. He picked out a pair of white ripped jeans and a white top. ‘Reece, okay. Black jeans,  always.  One; more dressy for going out. 2; if you drop something on there, not as noticeable as white’ I said trying to find another pair of jeans.

‘That, my dear child is true’ he said also trying to find some jeans. ‘Do you ever clean this room?’ I said flinging my head up. A hair in my fringe touched my eye as I did. It really hurt.

I let out a little pain and went and sat on my bed holding my eye with the cup of my palm. ‘Are you alright Amber? What happened?’ He said trying to hold in a laughter.

‘My freaking fringe poked my eye, that’s what happened!’ I said trying to not cry a little. I know, weak excuse but it hurt, a lot! Reece snorted as he tried to keep his laughter down.

‘Let me have a look at it?’ He said holding my wrist and slowly bringing it down, reviling my deep green eyes. He’s blue eyes came closer and closer to mine and our faces were only inches apart. My hurt started to beat faster and faster. Reece looked between the two of my eyes. Seeming like he wasn’t even looking for a difference between the two.

‘You have beautiful eyes, Amber.’ Reece said in almost like a whisper. He brang his hand to my jaw line and traced it with his fingers. He kept looking into my eyes, not stopping anything. My heart was beating so loud I swear he could hear it.

‘WE’RE HOME!’ Deb yelled from the front door. We both snapped out of the daze we had going. Dammit! ‘Sorry, I… I don’t know what came over me.. I guess ..I don’t know... Sorry’ Reece said. I didn’t mind what he had done; I didn’t want it to end.

I got off his bed and walked over to the clothes we had laid out. I picked them up and Reece added some black jeans to the pile, I must have missed them when I hurt my eyes. ‘I want to see what they look like on’ I smiled at him and passed them to him.

I walked out the door and my heart was still beating. It hadn’t stopped. I don’t know what just happened, but I wish it would happen more.
