With Time, We Fall
Chapter Nineteen

Troy

Addison started to walk backwards, crashing into me.
She started to fall but I caught her, she didn't try to stand. 
"Anthony" He voice was full of anger "How could you?" 
Her eyes became glossy, she was holding back tears. 
She pushed herself off me violently and stormed into her brothers room. 
I stood awkwardly in Addisons room, with her brother still in the door frame.
"Should I, leave?" I asked hesitantly 
"We'll see how this goes." Anthony replied, like what he did wasn't even a problem.
"Why'd you," I paused and looked at Anthony "Uh, you know.. with your sisters best friend?"
Anthony laughed "I don't know. Pretty sure Jenna's always had a crush on me... it was a matter of time."
I laughed through a quick puff of air out of my nose "Thats messed up man, especially since she's your little sister" 
Anthony looked to the ground, thinking I suppose. 

I couldn't hear anything Addison or Jenna were saying,  but when Addison came back her eyes were red. She walked straight into my arms, which I wrapped around her and held her tight. 
"Im sorry Addison. Guys are d/cks" I smiled hoping she would too,
she did. "I figured that out on my own"
She sat on her bed, I climbed to where the bed met the wall and sat.
"Can we talk about something else though?" She asked
"Anything" I smiled again.
"Well, I still don't know much about you Troy. Everything you told me, that one night was a joke. Tell me honest things, please"
I laughed, "Okay. Well.. I'm Troy Johnson. I'm 16 years old and I really like this girl, her name is Addison."
She blushed "I already know all that."
"I used to play football and baseball. My favorite color is black, I have a dog, I live with my dad and older sister, what else?"
"You don't play sports now?" 
I sighed, I started to say that I couldn't, but I changed what I was going to say "Not anymore. Too much school work, and it got time consuming. Besides, if I did I wouldn't be able to follow you around as much as I do" 
Addison giggled "Okay, why is black your favorite color? Its so dark."
"My dear Addison, you have so much to learn. It's not dark, its crazy. 
It's my favorite color because it isn't one at all. Anything black is the absorption of all colors in the color spectrum but it doesn't reflect any of them to us. Anything black holds every color you can think of inside it, but you don't see any of them."
Addison blinked a few times in confusion "Is absorption even a word?"
"Proabably not but how smart did I sound?" I raised my eyebrows
"You sounded like a nerd. Where did you learn that?"
I paused, remebering who told me that.
"Just a boy I met at a family thing."
"Well thats, interesting"
Addison rolled her eyes and sighed. 
She layed down and put her head on my lap
"Thanks Troy, for making me feel better."
"You too."
I mumbled,
she didn't hear.
