Cry Me a River (On Hold)

Leigh Jacobs is just a normal girl on the outside, but on the inside she is filled with secrets. her home life is not a joy to live, if you know what I mean. School is average for her, and her looks are a bit above. And love? She has it, secretly. Asher Clark was once her boyfriend, untill they allegidly "broke up." But did they actually break up? And why is she so afraid of her mother, afraid enough to keep most of her life a secret?

"I hate not being able to hug you like this during the. I hate not being able to show you off to my friends." He murmured into my hair. His hands stroking it gently.

"I hate it too. But you know we have to. I hate to even think about what would happen if anyone found out...if my mom found out..." I shook my head, trying to clear it of those thoughts.

"I know, I know. But I still hate it." He pulled me in tighter, his arms a barrier around me, protecting me from the outside world.

"Me too," I really do hate it. It;s awful, having to be with the one you love in secrecy.

He pulled back a little to look at me, and I saw a smile creep back onto his face. "So, you think I'm smart, huh?"

I mock-glared at him and he put one hand to him chest in moke-pain. "Yeah, a smart-alec!"

"That hurts, Leigh, that really hurts!" He exclaimed with fake hurt in his voice. I started laughing and so did he.

I made my eyes go all big and tilted my head to the side a bit, "But you still love me, right?"

He pulled me in even tighter than before and missed my head, murmuring, "Of course I do L, I always will." He put one gentle finger under my chin and tilted my head up. He leaned down and planted a warm, soft kiss on my lips. "I'll always love you, Leigh." he mumbled against my lips. "No matter what happens."
