Chapter 6

The guy helped me get up from the floor and I couldn't still see who he was. I knelt down and picked my things up from the floor and I the guy helped me pick my things up. I was about to pick up my purse from the floor, and together we put our hands out and I touched the purse first and the guys hands came on top of my hands. I picked the purse up and the guy hadn't still taken his hands off my hands, so I slowly looked up, and was shocked to see that it was Julian's hands. And then slowly he looked up and he looked more startled then I did and straight away moved he's hand, and said "sorry."

Then I said "no, it's my fault I was getting my purse out and wasn't looking to were I was going."

"are you o.k.? Did you hurt yourself ?"

"I'm o.k. thanks"

"that's alright. So what you doing here, by the looks of it you must be loaded today." He said looking at the bags in my hands.

"I was doing my shopping, and had money left so I thought maybe I should buy Joe's birthday present. So what about you."

"oh, I'm buying myself a trouser. That's all."

"I was on my way to the till-"

"oh right, me as well" he said. So we both went to the till and they served me first. I waited for Julian until he was finished getting served.

"thanks for waiting"

"that's alright" I replied. When went out of the shop and started to walk in silence, when my tummy started to rumble. And I knew it was the sign of me being hungry. So I asked Julian if he had eaten and he said 'no' so I told him that I hadn't eaten. So we both said 'do you want go and eat at KFC.' I said 'yes' and so did he. We order our food and I insisted on paying but he said no. So instead he paid for me and we ate inside.

After we finished eating I said "thanks for lunch, I'm now going to go to Kai's house. I haven't seen him for almost 5 days."

"Kai, who's Kai." Said Julian.

That's when I realized that I had just made a mistake because he doesn't know about Kai.

"Kai, right, his my boy, boy……boyfriend." I muttered.

"your what?... You said you didn't have one." Julian said, as if he was shocked.

"sorry, I shouldn't of have lied to you." I said embarrassed.

"yeah, well-"

"come on, just come with me" I said, pulling his hand.

"where to?"

"to meet Kai. you two can be friends, his really nice. He'd love to meet you."

"no, I don't, it's not quite right."

"come on, you'll like him, Julian." And with that I pulled him again.

"o.k., I'll come."

As we walked towards his house, Julian asked me a couple of questions, but I didn't answer them all I said was 'you'll just have to wait till you meet him.'

When we reached Kai's house, I knocked on the door, and his sister Mary opened it and said that Kai was upstairs doing his home work. So I thought I'd just pop into his room and see what his doing. I went up stairs and knocked on his bedroom door and waited for an answer, but nobody answered. So I knocked again, and still nobody answered it. Then I opened the door a bit, popped my head in and saw Kai on the computer with his head phone on, so that's why he didn't answer, because he can't hear the door. So I slowly, walked towards Kai and kissed him on the cheek. He looked up in surprise, and I was shocked to see his face. What the hell? I thought to my self, why the hell has he got lips stick on his lips. I pretended that I didn't notice and moved closer to him and saw that it was all smudged. I felt my eyes go all watery. This has been Kai's second time behind my back his been kissing another girl, that's why I hadn't seen him for 5 days. How could he do this to me? And I thought that Kai wouldn't do that to me. And I thought to my self that Kai had just been using me all along. I couldn't take it any more, and felt that I was going to just start crying, in front of Kai and Julian. So, I straight away ran from the room, not saying anything, and ran out of the house. As soon as I stepped out of the house, hot tears spilled out from my eyes. How could he do this to me? I started walking away. Not knowing where I was going. When I heard a door slam shut and the rustling of bags. And then, foot steps running, getting louder and louder. I knew who it was. I didn't want Julian to see me crying, so I quicken my paste. And a couple of seconds later some one pulled my hands from the back. By now I was sobbing, loud. I didn't look up to see who it was because I already knew who it was, and I kept looking down, sobbing louder and louder. Then I felt a soft tissue on my face and Julian was wiping my tears. I looked up at him and he was looking down at me, then he hugged me and I hugged him back. I felt that, a hug was what I needed right now. He slowly let me go and I let him go and he said " come on, lets take you home." And he walked me home holding all my shopping bags. When we came in front of the door step, I thought should I invite him in, after all he did calm me down. So, I invited him in and we went straight into my room. Mum and Joe had gone out, which was a good thing.

I sat down on the bed and relaxed my self. I told Julian to sit down. So he sat down with out saying a word. I realized that Julian hadn't spoken a single word since I stepped into Kai house with him. I straightened myself up and looked at Julian, he was looking down.

"Julian, thanks for calming me down and walking me home. I know you must be thinking that I've gone totally mad. At first I was really excited for you to meet him and then I suddenly just ran out of the house." I paused for a second to see if Julian had anything to say, but he just looked at me and said nothing. So I carried on talking, and told him what had happened. He just sat there and I wasn't sure if he was listening or not but I stopped talking once I had finished. We sat down for a while, and Julian didn't even open his mouth, and I thought for a second what was wrong with him. But I didn't ask, he was just looking down. I looked up at him and suddenly felt really comfortable being around him. I stood up, took my jacket of and put it in my draw. I then walked towards Julian and sat down right next to him. He looked up at me and I put my arms around Julian's waist and leaned towards him to kiss him. And I thought that if it's fine to kiss Julian now then it was never a mistake to kiss him the first time.
