Where are you?
Chapter Three (Part Three)
Lena
I ran out of the house as fast as I could with tears running down
my face. Timra has done nothing but lie to me for months and I
cant handle it anymore. I heard Aaron calling my name but I kept
running. I don’t know where I’m going but I want to
get as far away from Timra as I could. I finally collapsed by the
fountain in the park about three miles from my house. I sat there
crying for I dont know how long before I felt an arm go
around me.
“Shhh. You should go home now” Aaron was trying to
soothe me.
“I don’t want to. I cant face her” I sobbed
into his shoulder
“Well you have to go somewhere” Aaron held me
tight
“I know- I- I- I will call Cat or Layla” I tried to
calm down
“No, You can come with me.” He smiled at me
“But, wont your parents… uhm” I was trying to
think
“Don’t worry about it. My mom wont care. She
doesn’t care about me anyways” Aaron said
bitterly
“I’m sorry” My problems suddenly felt really
dumb
“Don’t be. It’ll make having you around
easier” Aaron helped me to my feet
“Ok” I said wiping tears off my face
We walked back to my house to get his car and so I could grab a
couple of things for school tomorrow.
I walked into the house and heard Timra and Adam arguing.
“You did what?!” That was Timra
“Had s. ex with another girl”
“You told me that we were special”
“We were-are”
“Bullsh. it”
“I love you Timra”
“If you love me so much then why’d you cheat on
me?”
“You were pr. egnant and I was confused”
“That’s no excuse. I hid the kid from my family so
that you wouldn’t have to come and take care of
it”
“I would’ve come around”
“When? A year after it was born?! I wasn’t going to
wait around for you for a year to ‘come
around’!!”
“Timra-“
“Go!”
“What?”
“Out of my house! Don’t come back!”
Adam started to walk out of the house but stopped when he stopped
me.
“This is all your fault!” He yelled
I am so done with this sh. it “Me?! You are blaming me for
what YOU did?! YOU knocked Timra up! YOU cheated on MY sister!
YOU left her when she needed you most and you have the nerve to
tell me that I’m the problem?!”
Adam stormed out without saying another word. At this point my
blood was boiling.
“Lena you came back. You’ve been gone for over two
hours” Timra was on the verge of crying
“I’m not staying. I’m just grabbing a few
things for the night” I said coolly
“What?” Timra looked hurt
“I am done with you. All of it. I cant take you lying to me
anymore. I’m done” I walked up the stairs
I could hear Timra crying but I don’t care. I’m done
caring
I grabbed a duffle bag and stuffed it with the stuff I needed to
use to get ready in the morning and my charger for my phone. I
also grabbed my school bag.
I walked down the stairs and out the door without giving Timra a
second look. Once I was in Aarons car we drove to his house.
About five minutes after we left my driveway I called my mom.
The phone rang twice before she picked it up
“Hi, Honey! How did it go?”
“Uhm, not too well. I’m staying the night at Aarons,
Timra and I got into a big fight”
“You are going to stay the night at Aarons?”
“Yeah.”
“Is that such a good idea”
“I’ll be fine. Give dad a kiss for me”
“Okay sweetie. Be safe. I love you”
“I love you too”
I hung up before she could argue with me.
“So your parents are just cool with you staying the
night?” Aaron spoke for the first time since we got in the
car
“They trust me. Maybe not for long once they find out
about…. Timra and Adam” I sighed
We finally got to Aarons and we went to his bedroom. I am
exhausted and ready for bed.
“Do you want something to eat” Aaron grabbed my hand
and twined our fingers together
“That sounds amazing” I smiled deciding to not let
what happened ruin my night.
Aaron made us some grilled cheese and we watched movies all night
long. Clear until the sun rose.
“We didn’t go to bed last night” I started to
panic.
“Then we should go to bed” Aaron suggested
“But we have school” I protested
“We can ditch. Just this once” Aaron kissed me on the
forehead
“Okay” I smiled tiredly
“Plus school wont start for another two hours
anyways” Aaron yawned.
“Can we go to bed” I asked
“Sure. Come on.” Aaron grabbed my hand and pulled me
to his bedroom.
We got to his room and he laid down. I smiled at him.
“Come sleep with me” He grinned up at me
I laid down in his arms with my head on his chest. The last thing
I remember hearing before falling asleep was the steady sound of
Aarons heartbeat.
