"He's the reason for the tear drops on my guitar the only one who's got enough of me to break my heart." I sang out as I pulled into Spencer Academy in my lime green Toyota Prius. It has been so long since I have last been in the small city of Ipswich, Massachusetts.
My heart was beating so fast because I had left something very important to me here eight years ago. The sons of Ipswich, Tyler, Pouge, Caleb, and Reid the boys that I had come to call my brothers and who I loved with every fiber of my being. I had grown up with them since I was a child and had formed an unbreakable bond of love with them all. It seemed like so long ago when we would play in the woods and cause our parents to worry greatly about us and what we seemed to be getting into. I could just see it now the time that we had wandered into the woods.
Reid had said that everything would be fine and that the ground was stable. Caleb had warned me not to listen to him but after watching Tyler cross safely I thought sure why not it Tyler can make it, it has to be safe. Oh how very wrong I was , I should have listened to Caleb because no sooner did I step on the stable looking mud pit did I start to sink up to my ankles within minutes. I was panicking and it seemed like I was going to die. But sure enough the boys had rushed to help me but not before my entire waist was submerged and when I was finally free of the muck my clothes were covered in mud and my face was splattered with mud as well. I remember the look on my mothers face when she saw me covered in mud, and I remember Reid's father scolding him for be so reckless with me. My mother had to have me hose off outside for she didn't want her beautiful white carpet that had just been installed a week ago to be filthy.
I pulled myself out of my thoughts as I pulled into the parking lot of the school right next to a black hummer. It had been years since I had seen them I wondered how they were doing and what they were like now. Turning off my car I opened my door and stepped out of the car. I stood up and stretched my hands to the sky and arched my back. It had been a long ride from Arizona to Massachusetts and I was really sore and stiff. A light breeze blew and rustled my chestnut brown hair.
After stretching I readjusted my off the shoulder green long sleeve shirt, black skinny jeans, and black and green checkered converse high tops. After making the minor adjustments I made my way slowly to the deans office, my hips swaying as I walked. As expected my appearance turned a few heads, after all I was the new kid. I found the office with little trouble and walked in checking in with the secretary. The woman was an elderly woman of about 75 I would say with white hair in a bun high on her head and wrinkles on her face that made it seem like a grandmother face and a smile that made me feel welcome and comfortable. "Hello my name is Aimee Stone and I am here to see the Dean to get my room assignment. Could you let him know that I am here?" "Go on in sweetheart he's been expecting you" she said. "Thank you" I replied smiling at her. As I walked in I noticed that the dean was a man in about his early forties with black balding hair and glasses that fell on the bridge of his nose. He was wearing a navy blue suit and had his hands folded on his desk a slight smile on his face. "Hello we have been expecting you. Your dorm will be on the far side of campus, room 520. It is the only single one we have. We thought that you might like the privacy" he said and gave me the key to my dorm. "Thank you so much I think I am going to go get settled now" I said and smiled at him.
After leaving his office I made my way back to my car noticing that the black hummer wasn't there anymore. I shrugged my shoulders and opened my trunk I grabbed my suitcase and two duffle bags and headed to the far side of the campus. Seeing as the room was to be a single I was really happy because I wouldn't have to deal with bitching roommates or trying to be nice to someone I didn't know. On my way to my room I ran into my lifelong friend and Pouge's girlfriend Kate. "Aimee! OH MY GOD! When did you get back? I laughed at her reaction and scratched my head. I had forgotten to call her and tell her my plans of attending Spence Academy. "Well I actually just got back a few hours ago" I said "Well do the boys know that you are back? They will be so happy to know that you are here" she said jabbering excitedly "No like I told you I only just got here and I don't really have their numbers and I haven't really seen anyone here since I got here" I said "Oh yeah it is a Saturday so everyone is usually at Nicky's I am actually going to head over there soon to meet Pouge. Do you want to come?" she asked smiling at me. "Ok how about that we meet here at 8 ok" I said. "Yeah sounds perfect" she replied.
After deciding what I was going to do for the night I waved goodbye to Kate and continued to walk the few feet left till I say a sign reading room 520. I took my key out and opened my door and walked in. Setting my bags on the floor I then decided to start unpacking. Putting my clothes in my closet which was a huge walk in closet I saw my Slytherin scarf and put it aside deciding that I would wear that later tonight. I set my Slytherin sheets and pillow cases on my bed and finished it off with a Draco Malfoy comforter. I put posters on my wall of some of my favorite bands like Linken Park and some of my interests as of late. I put my make-up and little toiletries in the bathroom and stepped back looking at my room.
Satisfied with the way it looked I headed to the bathroom. I put some hair straighter in it and combed through it and then ran a comb through it for good measure. I then fixed it into a messy bun that sat at about the middle of my head and then proceeded to put my snake earrings in my first hole and my lighting bolt studs in the other with my barbells on top. After ten minutes I started to apply what little makeup I put on , putting a clear white vanilla sparkle lip gloss, black mascara, and green eye shadow. When I was satisfied with my appearance I headed back to my room and grabbed my Slytherin scarf to top of my outfit and headed out the door to meet Kate.
I walked to out meeting spot and waited for Kate. It was about ten minutes before she showed up she was wearing a plain purple tee with some dark wash skinny jeans and black flats. We then headed to the parking lot to my car. We hopped in and I turned on the radio and Masquerade by Ashley Tisdale was playing as we zoomed down the road to Nicky's. It only took us about ten minutes the way I was driving to reach Nicky's. We parked and got out slowly walking to the entrance and when we entered it seemed like all eye's were on us. Immediately Pouge ran to Kate and hugged her tigtly. It seemed that he hadn't noticed me yet and I smiled to myself a plan forming in my head. Just as Pouge was about to kiss Kate I said "Awwww. No hug for me I feel so unloved" I pouted my mouth out a little. As soon as he heard my voice his body visibly tensed and he slowly turned his body towards mine. As his eye's reached my face he broke into a smile and dragged me into his arms. He then hurried me toward the rest of the group or lack there of. Not speaking a word he lead me toward a table that Caleb and another man I didn't know. Caleb's eye's meet my face and they lit up. We finally reached the table and Pouge finally started to talk "Look who I found" he said just as Kate was walking up to the table. Caleb smiled and practically jumped out of his seat. He grabbed me from Pouge and embraced me in a bone crushing hug and putting his face in my hair. I felt his body shaking, I tried to pull away but when all attempts failed I asked "what's the matter Caleb?" still trying to look up at him. "just stop it let me hold you. You have no idea how much we have missed you. It has been such a long time and now you are finally home and we can now be a family again" he half whispered half shouted. When he finally let me go the unknown man introduced himself as Chase.
"So where are Tyler and Reid?" I asked and I needn't have done so because no sooner did the words leave my mouth then did we all notice a commotion at the pool tables. "Why does he always do this. He's such an idiot" Caleb said starting to get up and head to the tables but I held him back. "Let me, I want to surprise him and this is perfect" I said "Ok" he said. I started to sneak over behind him as I got closer to him I snaked my hands around his waist to hold him back just as he was about to punch someone. I put my mouth up against his ear and whispered "Now come on you don't want to do this on the day I come back do you honey" his breath hitched and he turned himself around "Aimee" he said on an exhale he grabbed me and hugged to him really tight. "Reid I cant breath you have to let me go" I said "no if I do you might disappear again" he whispered. I sighed "Well then you leave me no other choice. Don't say I didn't warn you. I'm wearing my Harry Potter Slytherin scarf" I said and he let me go as quickly as possible a scowl on his face. That is when Tyler decided to side tackle me from behind "Aimee we missed you so much" he said while nuzzling my stomach. Reid let out a low growl and pushed Tyler away from me and dragged me back to the table sitting himself down first and then dragging me down onto his lap wrapping his arms around my waist and putting his head on my shoulder.
"Sooo" said Tyler a little awkwardly "When did you get back?" he finished "Just a couple of hours ago" I replied "Well were glad that your back. We really missed you" Caleb said smiling at you. "Yeah we really did" said Pouge. Reid nuzzled your ear and breathed his hot breath down your neck causing your face to turn three different shades of red. "I missed you the most babe" Reid said. It was back to the way things used to be this is the game you and Reid played, I liked it but at the same time it hurt so bad. I had realized in my time away that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I was in love with Reid Garwin and I didn't know how I didn't know when but I knew I was in love with him. Of course no one knew this little detail only I did I mean I hadn't even told Kate my best girlfriend in the world. A sad look came over my face and I quickly replaced it with a smile before anyone noticed. I then jumped off of Reid's lap trying to seem happy and skipped to the jut box popping in a quarter I picked the song "I kissed a girl" by Kate Perry. I ran back over to the table and grabbed Kate's arm dragging her up off of Pouge's lap. I dragged her to the middle of the dance floor and started to dance with her. I had Kate in front of me and we were both grinding on each other. Kate started to laugh and shouted about the music "Aimee this is so much fun. Thanks for helping me tease Pouge a little" I have and idea, pretend that you are about to kiss me" I whispered in her ear. As soon as you got the words out Kate went in to kiss you when Pouge jumped out of his seat and ran to where you were dancing and dragged Kate off somewhere.
Then a few seconds later someone's hands started to wrap around my hips and pull me against the front of someone. I let my hips move to the beat of the music and when the song ended I turned around to see Reid smiling down at me. Just a moment later he was abruptly turned around and almost punched in the face Reid was just about to punch someone when Caleb stepped in and dragged Reid out the back door. You hurried after them when you got outside you hear them screaming at each other "What do you thinking!" Caleb shouted "I was thinking that I wouldn't like to get my face bashed in" Reid screamed back at Caleb "Aimee could have gotten hurt did you think about that" Caleb screamed back. Reid got really angry and I saw his eye's start to completely turn black as he started to use on Caleb. Caleb's face was a mask of pain but not once did he let out a cry of pain. My eye's started to tear up and my breath hitched. Caleb was preparing to use on Reid in retaliation and before I knew it
