Chapter 5

I pulled into his drive way, got out and knocked on the door. Mrs. Hawthorne answered.

"Why, hello Marley. Scotts waiting for you upstairs"

"Thanks, Mrs. H" I said walking up the stairs. I walked to his room and knocked.

"Who is it?" he asked.

"It's me"

He opened the door smiling. "Hello there"

"Hi" I walked in.

He walked over and kissed me. I kissed back. He pulled away, "homework first." He laughed. He had an amazing laugh. It was sexy too. I smiled and walked over his bed and sat down.

"Should we start making the poster?" I asked

"Yeah, you cut, I'll paste." He said getting the supplies.

"Alrighty" I grabbed the papers and scissors. I handed him the cut out pieces and he glued them on the paper. We were done about an hour later. I turned on my back, as he put the finishing touches on it. He rolled over lying on his side next to me. I looked up at him. He looked down at me. He kissed me. I kissed back. We started making out. He was on top of me with his hand on my waist. My hand was running through his hair. Ten minutes later we pulled away, breathing heavy, when his mom called us for supper. I fixed his hair. We walked downstairs, holding hands. He led me to the dinning room, where his dad was sitting.

"Hey dad, this Marley, my girlfriend" he said taking my chair out for me. I sat down, as he sat down beside me.

"Oh, so you're the famous Marley I've been hearing about." He smiled at me. I giggled. "Scott talks about you everyday" I looked at Scott. He's face was red.

"Its okay, nothing to be embarrassed about" I said.

"I guess not" he said as his mother came in. She sat down and we all started eating. It was so yummy.

"Mrs. H., this really good" I said to her.

"Why thank you dear."

"I haven't had a home cooked meal in forever"

She looked at me. "My parents have meetings every night. Ever since my brother left for college, they are always gone. I'm usually at my best friend's house."

"Oh I am so sorry to hear that dear" she smiled. "Your welcome here whenever you like"

"Thank you, Mrs. H"

Scott grabbed my hand helped me up. "We have some work to do"

"Thanks for dinner" I said walking away with Scott. We went up to his room and watched a movie. I snuggled up to him on his bed. He wrapped his arm around me. After a year of not feeling safe, I finally did, I felt protected.

"So, can you explain something to me?" he asked

"Sure"

"How come you hate your parents?"

"Well, I used to never hate them, until Ryan left, then they just kinda left me, always on business trips, at dinners, just stupid stuff and when I would talk to them about it, they would just ignore it, and say 'well we are just trying to give you a good life' and whatever, so by them working all the time, we became the richest family in Plymouth, that's how I have that mustang, we actually used to have a maid service, and if you ever come to my house you'll see what I mean by rich. It's the biggest house on the block, maybe the biggest in Plymouth."

"Oh"

"Yeah, and people think, I am a total snob because of all the money I have, so that's why Luna is my only best friend, besides you and Steve."

"Thanks for explaining"

"No problem" I smiled up at him. I left soon after that.
