Yay! Thank you all so much for the reviews! It means a LOT to me!
Andrea POV
I watched from the window as Xavier slowly got out of the car looking like a male model. It was one of those times you wish you had the song "Oh Yeah" by Yello. Mmm he is gorgeous.
"You can stop drooling over my brother." Chels laughed. I blushed and checked for actual drool. He knocked on my door.
"Well go answer it!" Chels pushed me.
"Ben you going to get that?" I yelled.
"You can!" He answered. I took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Hi." I smiled.
"Hey, Chelsea ready?" He seemed to try to keep the words to a minimum.
"Uhm yeah let me go get her. You can come in." He stepping in my house and looked around appreciatively. I went to Chelsea.
"Your brother is here."
"Yupp, he is also in your house!" She laughed loudly and I turned a bright red. I quickly ebbed away the blush.
"Hey X!" Chelsea said. Mr. Tall, dark and mysterious just nodded.
"Bye D!" She hugged me.
"Bye Ben!" She yelled up the stairs to my brother.
"See ya!" He screamed back.
I watched as they got into the car. Xavier expertly flung the car backwards and speed out my driveway. I sighed. Dear god I might just melt. I flopped on my bed and accidently fell asleep. When I woke up it was 5 a.m. I got in the shower and changed into a white t-shirt that had gray stripes. It has short sleeves and a small oval in the back by the neck. I grabbed my black skinny jeans and black converse. I was feeling a little put off. I jogged downstairs and sat on the counter. Ben came down a little later.
"What are you doing?" He asked me.
"Just sitting here." I sighed.
"What's gotten into you mopey?"
"I'm just really confused! I don't know why though!" I exclaimed.
"Is it a guy?" He cringed awaiting my answer.
"Not that I know of. I might cut off Mark Smith's balls."
"What did he do?" Suddenly getting protective.
"He tried to get me to date him. And he is keeping it up. Everyday. I might explode bro!"
"Want me to kick his ass?" He asked.
"That would actually be great!"
"But don't." I said as an after thought.
"Why not?"
"Bad stuff might happen." I said as he nodded his head. I looked and the clock to see it was 7:15.
"Let's go Ben. I might as well be early." He went out to start the car and I grabbed an apple. As we drove to school I couldn't help but think "Thank God it's Friday!" I said goodbye to Ben and waited for Chelsea. When I was waiting I got a text from my mom.
On the way home Ben got into a car accident. I need you to skip school. We are at St. Elizabeth's.
My breath caught in my throat. What?
"Andie!" Chelsea's screaming brought me back.
"Chelsea I can't talk. I'm skipping school. Something has happened. Do you know anyone who could give me a ride?" I was on auto pilot. I didn't even now what I was doing.
"You could go ask X." I nodded and went to find her brother. I saw him with Ryan. I never get to see Xavier because we are in different grades. The way our school is set up every grade get's an individual hall. They are all separate and are only connected by a small walkway meeting in the café. I must have never had Xavier in my lunches.
"Hey Xavier I need you." Ryan looked shocked and X's eyes bugged out a little. He nodded for me to continue.
"I need a ride to St. Ez because my brother got into a car accident. Can you please help me?" I asked. His face remained the same.
"Sure." He put his hand on my shoulder and led me to his Audi. I hopped in very delicately and we drove off. When we reached the hospital I got and Xavier looked ready to drive away.
"Will you stay with me?" I blurted. He looked a little shocked. Not that you could tell.
"Yeah." So he followed me in.
"Hi I need to see Ben Clarke."
"And who are you?" She said in a pissy attitude.
"His sister now please!"
"Ill need ID." I almost cried on the spot. I needed to make sure Ben was okay. What happened next stunned me the most. Xavier's cool façade slipped and he slammed his hand on the desk.
"Look lady, this is Andrea Clarke his sister. Now you tell her the fucking room number, right now! If not you might want to get a damn good lawyer because your ass will be sued." That was the most I have ever heard him talk. She said the room number and we raced off. When I got there I was pulled into a hug by my mom. She was sobbing.
"Hunny, he is in a coma!" My mom wailed. My dad came up beside me.
"It is doctor induced." I nodded.
"Sweetheart you know you are going to have to find a ride to and from school right?" My dad asked me.
"I'll find a way dad." I looked around for Xavier and saw him standing against the wall. He looked like a typical bad boy. His arms crossed and one foot against the wall as he leaned. I shrugged out of my moms embrace and walked towards him.
"Hey X- Xavier do you think you can give me a ride to and from school now, please?" I asked.
"Sure." His light answer made me crumbled down. I hadn't cried since I had heard and now it was like the Nile River. I put my head in the crook on Xavier's arm and balled. What surprised me was that he wrapped his arms around me.
"Thank you X!" I wailed. He kissed my forehead.
"What for?"
"Everything. Taking me, the lady downstairs, just everything."
"I would always help anyone in need. That lady downstairs was a bitch and had it coming to her."
"Well still thanks." I sniffled.
"Anytime Andie." I was baffled that he called me Andie. Well I guess I did call him X.
"Oops. I killed your shirt." His shirt was covered in my tears.
"It's fine." He said and I smiled weakly. I walked over to my parents and spent the rest of school there. Xavier was just standing. I was talking to my cousin Anna about everything that has happened when she stopped dead in the middle of her sentence. I felt a hand press on my neck. I turned around to see X.
"Hi. This is my cousin Anna. Anna this is my, Erm, my best friend's older brother Xavier." I stuttered.
"I am also her friend." He had a little smirk.
"Hi." She said faintly.
"Andie, can I take you for lunch?" I looked at my cell phone and sure enough it was noon.
"Yes thank you. Let me tell my parents. I walked over to them.
"Xavier is taking me out to lunch."
"Who is he?" My mom asked while she checked him out. I suppressed a shutter.
"He is my friend. Also Chelsea's older brother." Her mouth formed a little O. I nodded at X and he took us down to his car. I'm having lunch with one hot sexy man. But, where are we going?
The lunch is next! Please review and tell me how you feel! Thank you all so much again for reviewing!
