Where Were You?
Notes: This chapter is basically Kendra's reflections on why she has trouble letting people in. Some Adam in here, but unfortunately, this chapter is mostly thought.
Because of You
She wouldn't make the same mistakes that they did. She'd play on the safe side. She wouldn't stray too far from the sidewalk. She couldn't cry, because she knew it was weakness in his eyes. She watched them die, heard them cry. She was so young….they should've known better than to lean on her. They never saw her, or anyone else. They just saw their pain. She tried to forget. Her parent's divorce only reminded her. She cried herself to sleep And then when her dad died, Her heart couldn't break since it wasn't even whole to start with. The last thing she'd said to him was.
"You hurt mom. I could never forgive you for that. "Sometimes she wanted to call him, but knew he wouldn't be there. Now she didn't know how to let anyone else in. But Adam seemed so….enticing. Interesting, engrossing. With the way his nose twitched when he laughed, the way he smiled, the way he laughed, the sound of his voice, the way his choice of words engulfed her, the cologne that intoxicated her, the way his hair shined in the sunlight, the way his eyes sparkled when he was happy, how they were actually bluer when he was happy , the way he rolled his eyes, the way his lips pursed when he was in deep thought, the way her skin tingled when they reached for something at the same time and touched, his chiseled face, his crazy quirks, how sometimes she just wanted to…..
"Hey Kendra" She nearly jumped out of her skin.
"Hi Adam." She said. For a second she got lost in his eyes.
"So. You still in for the Pierce The Veil concert?"
"And play old maid with my mom instead? Of course I'm still in!" She replied. He smiled.
"Eli, me and Sav'll pick you up at 8"
"Sweet."
