My
Muse
Chapter 7
Beccas house is really nice. It's on the beach like mine but
much bigger. I didn't realize that i was holding Kassidys
hand the whole time untill she droped it and went to the bathroom
and get things for s'morse and left me outside on the patio
with Leo and Emmett. Well, this is awkward. I've never been
good with new people. I try not to be awkward but I just make it
worse.
"So Connor, how did you meet Kas?" Loe asked. "The
first day i came here I was walking around her saw her at the
river." I said kind of hesitant because it's our story.
It's proabably stupid but I didn't really want to share
it with anyone. Kassidy, Becca and Carly came back just in
time.
The rest of the night kind of went by in a blur. We had some
s'mores, laughed but I feel like I got to know them better.
Now I'm more comfortable around them, which will be good for
when I go back to school and just in gerneral. Kassidy and I said
bye around 11:40 and started walking down the beach.
"I bet you can't catch me!" She said running away
from me. I laughed, 'I was on the lacross team, remember?
I'm not just a photographer!" I caught up to her, threw
her over my shoulder and ran into the ocean. Her laughed filled
my head. After slashing around in freezing water, I had her jump
on my back and started walking back home again. "My house is
that way." She said, pointing to a rode up ahead. I set her
down and held her face in my hands. "Kassidy, you're not
going home. You're staying at my house again." She
pulled away, "I can't just live at your house Connor. I
have to go home at somepoint." I shook my head and slide my
hands down her arms to hold onto her cold hands. "Well,
you're not going home tonight. I won't allow it."
Her face softened and I could tell she was glad I was insiting
this even though she tried so hard to hide it. "Are you sure
your dad will be okay with it?" "He'll
understand"
She tightened the grip she had on my hands, "You can't
tell him. It'll just make things worse." I didn't
understand how it would make things worse but I didn't want
to argue with her because I don't really know anything
specific about the situation anyways. I just nodded and we
proceded to walk to my house in silence.
I tried to walk in the house quietly so I wouldn't wake my
father up if he was sleeping but, he was sitting at the kitcgen
counter with his laptop emailing someone. "Hey Connor,"
he said before turning around to see Kassidy, "And hello
Kassidy..?" He just looked at me. "She was locked out
of her house and no one was home so I thought she could just stay
here one more night..?" I said with a smile. "Yeah,
it's fine. The floors in the guest room are still not ready
so you're going to have to sleep on the floor again
Connor." "It's fine, thanks dad." He turned
back around and Kassidy quietly said thank you. I've never
seen her shy, it's kind of adorable.
Once we got to my room, I shuffled through some boxes to find
some sweatpants and two shirts. She threw she hair into a bun and
put on the clothes I had given her. They were pretty baggy on her
but she looked cute and seemed comfortable. She waled past me and
I grabbed her hand to pull her in and started dancing. She
laughed. God her laugh, I could listen to it all day. She stood
up on her tippy-toes and gave me a quick kiss and strted to walk
towards the bed. I pulled her back in and gave her a long slow
kiss just like in the movies. She laughed again and ran into the
bed and threw a pillow at me. I made my bed right at the side of
my real bed. I fell asleep holding her hand that was dangling off
the side of my bed.
-------------
I woke up in the middle of the night. Once I really opened my
eyes and became fully aware of what was happening, I realized
that Kassidy's sobbing was what woke me up. I immediatly got
up and crawled into the bed with her. Just about right when I got
up there she turned into me and started crying even louder. I
wrapped my arms around her and whispered, "It's going to
be okay, you're going to be okay." over and over again
untill she fell asleep. Soon after I felt her heart beat return
back to a normal pace, I fell asleep again breathing in unison
with her.
Ahh! It's been over a year!
Oops! I hope you liked it though! Maybe I'll even keep
writing this time!
