By the time we arrived in front of our house. The rain had begun to pour in an unfriendly, torrential downpour. I was admittedly afraid to alight the vehicle as I feared getting wet. It was not enough that the rain was going to drench me, but it could come with the price of a cold and I was not ready to pay for it.
Justine pulled into our parking lot and waited for me to get out of my seat belt before speaking. "I have an umbrella in the trunk but it is sized for only one person."
"Then you can have it, I'm good. It's only a thirty seconds walk to the door." I shrugged, proceeding to open the car door and exit.
"What are you doing?" He stopped my movement, gently grabbing my wrist and halting my actions.
I stared interestingly between his grip and him, deciding to blame the goosebumps on the chills from outside. "I'm heading outside?" I called in an unsure tone.
"Are you kidding right now?" He narrowed his eye
"How long have you known Justine?" I began, staring directly into her orbs."Why is that an important question?" She furrowed her eyebrows, letting go of the pillow she had held to her chest."Just answer me." I ignored her annoyance and continued with my statement."It's been over a year." She reluctantly provided, rolling her eyes at me. She must have found my question irrelevant but I was headed to a destination."A year is a long time to know a person, I'm certain that deep down, you have a feeling he has done nothing wrong but that strong part of you chooses to believe he has only done the wrong thing." I said to her. She put her lips in a pout."You should not let terrible friends influence you. Justine is a really hot guy," I paused to swallow the lump that had grown in my throat. "And basically every girl wants him. You know better than everyone that you are really lucky. Who knows how many
Becca looked like she was unsure of the scene around her because she rubbed her eyes to confirm that she was still awake. She stared between us both with a frown and instead of questioning the position she had met us like I would have suspected, she walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her."I'm dead meat." Justine panicked, getting to his feet in rushed motion. "She- she is going to tell it all to Caramel and that means I'm de..dead." He stuttered, unable to contain himself. I could only imagine what he felt like.I had tons of questions for him to deal with but I decided that talking to Becca was a lot more important and so I narrowed my eyes at him before taking long strides out the room, and tracing after my sister."Becca wait!" I called, managing to catch up with her when she was half way downstairs.I held her shoulder and got her to turn around from the effect of taking such an action."All
I ignored Caramel, turned on my heels to look at Becca with poison laced in my eyes and shoved Caramel out of my way, leaving out the door. I only managed to hear her ask Becca what my deal was before moving out of earshot.I was grateful that I had changed out of my wet clothes. Downstairs, Justine was seated on a couch, his face buried in his hands. On my arrival, he shot his head up to look at me. I could not exactly decide on how to react to his presence.I stared at him blankly and grabbed a jacket I found hanging on a nail by the door, not caring which one of my sisters it belonged to.I violently opened the door, touching my back pocket to confirm whether there was still change in there for me. Once I was certain I wouldn't end up getting stranded, I slammed the door behind me and headed straight to the bus stop, knowing the best place for me to go at the moment was to be with a man of distraction.*
I laid naked in bed beside Sam, the blankets being my source of shield from view. I kept thinking about the things I had done with him and how pleasurable they were."Ally?" He broke my thought cycle, drawing my attention back to the present."Yeah?" I mumbled, placing my head on his chest whilst he wrapped his arm around me."I was just thinking, would you like me to come over to your house? I would really love to be able to spend time with your family." He said. I pulled away from him sharply, holding the blanket around my chest while I sat up."What? Why?" I could not conceal my astonishment."I just thought, you and I have been bonding a lot more lately but I haven't got the opportunity to really connect with your family." He said, sitting up as well."Why is meeting my family important? You are in a relationship with me not them." I pointed out. "It is not like you and I are ge
"Come on, I'll drop you home." Sam suggested after a while of laying in bed together. It was almost six in the evening and we had spent time cuddling against each other."You don't have to worry about that, I'll do just fine-" I began to say but he shook my idea off."Don't even try to argue it out with me Ally. There is no way I am going to let you go all by yourself so don't even bother." He rolled his eyes, getting out of bed and expecting me to trail behind him."I know we talked about boundaries and i am definitely going to respect that but it's late and you can trust that I'm going to oppose you on this one." He picked his clothing that laid scattered around the room and tossed them into the laundry basket.He walked to his closet and began to create a new selection of outfit. I knew he was right and so I sighed, bending to retrieve my own clothes from off the floor.Admittedly, I'd had the best time with
I felt my heart crumble into pieces at her confession. I tried to read her face to gain answers to my unasked questions but her face was blank and expressionless. I could not decide if she was angered, surprised, or anything else at all for that matter."Wh- what did she say?" I knew it would be best to ask first before jumping into conclusions."You know how Becca can get? She surely said those words because you pointed out that she was not in a relationship." She began. I had no idea what it was she was talking about but I played along and followed her lead as she helped me up the stairs."That's enough reason to get mad at her but you know her just as much as I do, and you can always tell that she us the sweetest pumpkin in the patch." She sighed, slinging an arm over my shoulder, trying to appease with me to 'forgive' Becca for whatever it was that she had done."I guess you are right." I sighed, putting her han
It was time for another school day. Becca was already out of bed by the time I had come awake, like she always was. I got rid of my blankets, stretched and yawned before getting to my feet.I made my bed and changed into my bath robe. During the time I spent in the bathroom, I ensured that my mind was free of all forms of thoughts. I particularly did not want to be carried away, thinking about the only person that crossed my mind.I wasted no time before joining my parents and sisters on the breakfast table."Good morning." I called lazily at them, pulling out a chair and taking my seat. I had worn a simple outfit, nothing extra with a red sweater and a pair of black tights, matching it with my pair of white converse."Morning Ally." My dad was the first to call back in his cheery tone. He had his reading glasses on and a newspaper was in his hand."Since when do you read the paper at breakfast?" I
I was headed down to a cafeteria to eat. I had one class left after the break and I could not wait to go home. It was only a matter of time before I was eventually done with schooling but it seemed like such a long time away especially given all the factors I was surrounded with.I pulled my phone out to check for updates. Justine had left as soon as the class ended, not even waiting to talk to even me. I knew he was going straight to Caramel to make up for the lost day and thinking about it was posing a threatening headache."Ally!" An excited voice yelled from behind me. I would pick that British accent anyway. Pronouncing my name like that was exclusive to her.A wide smile spread on my face as I turned around on my heels to meet the face of the caller. It was none other than Hazel."Bitch!" I yelled, charging towards her without care. I jumped into her arms and she didn't hesitate to catch me. I ignored the atte
