Chapter 4
Thank you everybody for the reviews they were sweet.
The street seems so cold at 4:00 in the morning especially when you are upset as I am right now. I can't believe my mom has another man in our house. The house my father paid for. He saved up for 10 years to but that house for my me and my mom. God, that word slithers out of my mind like a disgusting snake. I remember I was 5 years old whenever we moved in there. My dad always wanted the best for me, up until last year, I was my dad's life, he would do anything to make sure I was happy. Last year, was when he left and when my mom put me in a public school, I was always used to private schools. Yeah, you can say it I was spoiled. My dad promised me he would be back soon and everything we would be perfect again. I guess not. God, I need to pay attention to where I am walking. I just nearly walked into a trash can. I bet the owner would have loved that. I look up just in time to notice the mailbox next to the trash can says 'Jeremiah'. The light in the garage is on so I walk up to the side door and knock enough so that the person inside the room will hear but no one else.
Craig opens the door to find the only person he wanted to see right now.
"Ellie," Craig screams as he wraps his arms around me.
"Craig I am so sorry about earlier," I cried trying to stay on my feet but for some reason I was loosing all of my strength, I fell into his arms, why should I fight it.
"It's ok you were scared," he said hoping his words would comfort me.
"How do you know how I feel, you don't even know what happened," I screamed at him and also realizing for the first time that he has the most beautiful, dark, curly hair. I want nothing more than to just lie in his arms till everything is alright, yet I feel like I have to fight.
"Your mother explained everything" I sit down in a daze he mentioned 'that woman'. Craig sees the look of total disgust on my face
"What," Craig asks
"Nothing...I...I'll tell you later, do you mind if I stay here a while."
"Not it's fine do you want to lie down or watch tv or talk or..."
"Is it okay if I lie down, I'm really tired," I interrupted him. Automatically Craig walked me over to the bed that we had moved down at the beginning of the summer. I thought back to that day. Ash, Craig, Jimmy, and I had all moved it along with a couch, a tv, and all of the rest of Craig's stuff. Joey had asked him if he wanted to move into the garage so he could have more privacy and also because Joey was planning on proposing to Caitlin ( everyone knows except Caitlin) and she is going to need am office. I came back to reality and see Craig looking at me. I lay down on the bed after kicking my shoes off, and I motion for Craig to come lay with me. At first he looks at me confused but he knew I needed somebody. We laid next to each other for a while. When I finally roll over to where I am facing him ' I swear you can see his soul through his eyes'. All of the sudden there are these things I am noticing about Craig that I had never even thought about before.
"Craig do you remember what we were talking about today, did you mean what you said?"
"Of course I did," he said as he kissed me on the forehead. I felt my body melt.
"Will you be my girlfriend" he asked very shyly. Okay my body just melted again, I replied with a kiss.
"I take that as a yes," he said blushing.
"Then you would be correct," I said kissing him again with a huge smile across my face. He put his arm around my waist and we both fell asleep.
