I walked away from my friends. I felt their gazes bore into my back. I used all my willpower not to turn around and walk back to them. I felt my stomach move as the life inside me stirred. I clutched my stomach gingerly and waited for Toby to come. I soon saw the dust of Toby's tan truck I helped him get and I saw him pull up to the curb. Seeing his face reassured me that everything will be okay.
He unlocked the door and I opened it up, climbing in to the other seat. My purse slid off my shoulder and I placed it at my feet. My wedges clicked together as I leaned towards Toby. Our lips meet and we kissed passionately. I slowly drew away as another kick echoes throughout my abdomen.
"Hey." Toby said, sliding my brown hair behind an ear.
"Hey." I replied back, rustling his hair. He smiled and we kissed again, a brisk one.
"How are you feeling?"
I frowned. "Too many kicks." Toby turned and faced the front, stirring the keys and moving the wheel away from the school. I pressed my back into the soft seat and closed my eyes.
"Isn't that good?" He asked. I opened my eyes and sighed. "I don't know, I guess it depends on which side your on." Toby smiled at my answer and turned the wheel, causing us to turn to the other street. We soon pull up to the parking lot of Toby's place. A fimilar click rings throughout the car as the doors unlock. I snap the handle and push the door open. Grabbing my bag and swinging it over my shoulder, I walked out of the door. My wedges hit the cement and I stood up, turning and shutting th edoor. Toby shuts the door after me and we walk to door. My iphone beeps again and I grab it out quickly.
Ready or not, here we come! -Kisses, A
I stare at it with fear. I stop in my tracks. I hear a branch crack and quickly snap my head over my shoulder. A flash of red walks away quickly. It was covered with a red coat with its hoodie topping its head. Black boots clicked the cement as it hurried away. A hand takes my shoulder and clutches slowly. I jump and turn around. Toby stared at me, his beautiful blue eyes staring at my brown ones. They bore worriness inside them.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"Nothing." I reply. He can't know about them following me, watching my tracks, every movement of every minute. He takes his hand off my shoulder and tucks it into his sweatjacket's pocket.
"If your lying to me..." He trails off and stares behind me. I close my eyes as a I hear a car zoom past, its wheels leaving dust. I cough, slowing choking agaisn the dust and pollution.
"Are they following you?" Toby asks and I open my eyes. He continued to stare behind me. His eyes grow wide then he grabs me, pulling me to the door. He clamps his hand over my face, causing me unable to see or talk. I try to talk against his hand, but all that comes out is jumbled up words.
Soon, we are inside his place and he removes his hand. I cough as air pushes up into my nose. I finally stop and stare up at him. He stands at the counter, his hands preasuring into the soft granite.
"What the heck did you do that for?" I ask, sinking into the couch. He stares out of the window that sits above the sink. His eyes seem like they are stuck, glued permentaly to the outside.
I repeat it. Again. Again. Then, I yell.
His head snaps at me. His eyes show anger. "What the heck do they want?! What do they want for you?!"
I flinch at the tone he throws at me. I heave a sigh. "They want...they want... I don't KNOW what they want!" I angrily reply, crossing my arms over my stomach, protecting the life inside me. He stares where my arms covered and sighs. He walks over and wraps his arms around my neck, placing a kiss ontop of my head.
"Sorry." He murmures through my hair. I nod, feeling the life kick in agreement.
