Chapter
10
During that car ride, I can't even bare to
look at anyone. I whisper to Asher, "He didn't even give
me anything to help my injuries, but.." I trail off.
"But?"
"But he gave me a couple new ones.." I nearly tear up
again. He stops the car on the side of the road and looks at
me.
"Even more?"
"Even more," I clarify. "I'm fine,
really.."
"I'll find you something to help at my house. I
can't help the bruises too well, but I can certainly work on
the scratches."
A few minutes later, I break the silence. "Would you mind
telling me a couple things?"
"Shoot."
"Why does everyone seem to like me all of the
sudden..?" He's silent for a moment.
"They find you attractive, I guess."
"One more thing," I say, as we pull up into a large
driveway. We don't exit yet.
"Yes?"
"Why'd you save me?" He's silent for a bit
longer this time.
"I guess I'm like everyone else.. After today, I started
crushing on you."
I lean in and kiss him lightly on the cheek. "Trust me,
you're not like everyone else," I say, getting out of
the car, realizing I still can't walk on my own. Asher gets
out to come help me inside.
Once we're in his mom stops us, asking who I am. He describes
the situation and takes me to the guest room as I lay down.
Then, I pretend to sleep, listening in on his conversation with
his mother. I know it's wrong, but I couldn't help
myself.
"So who's this girl?" she asks him.
"Oh, just someone from school."
"And you like her?"
"Maybe a little bit." I smile at that.
"Well, I wish you the best of luck then."
"I don't need luck, Mom. I need her." That's
when I hear his mom's heels click against the marble tiled
floor and go up the steps, probably to her room. The guest room
is on the first floor.
Asher comes in, and I do my best to pretend to be asleep. He buys
it.
Soon, he leaves to go to his own room as flashbacks of my mother
and father come to mind.
I ended up having nightmares that night.
