Will's POV
It was late, I knew that much. I had to get home, I'd been reading and lost track of time. I knew no one expected me home yet, but it was getting dark. I clutched my book under my arm and headed home. A few moments later I saw someone running towards me. Rikki?
I waved at her, but she was...crying. What? She wasn't far away from me and approaching quickly. Wow she could run. When she reached me she didn't look as if she'd stop. What was up with her? I stuck my arm out and caught her by the arm. Twisting her round to look at me. If I hurt her, she didn't show any sign.
"Rikki?" I asked concerned. She just kept crying, her eyes were red and she looked tired.
"Let's get you home," I said, putting my arm on her waist, supporting her, while I turned around.
"No," she mumbled through tears, "I have to see Cleo,"
"It's late Rikki, please let me take you home, talk to her tomorrow." She nodded and we walked slowly home. What had happened to her? Why was I thinking this, I should ask her
"What's happened Rikki?" I asked as I half dragged her home
"My mum is dead," She said dryly, she'd stopped crying now and was just silent and emotionless. I preferred her crying. But I hated seeing her in pain. Gosh this was confusing.
"I'm sorry," I said. Wow, how many times have those words been said? But they helped when you meant it. And right now I did. She nodded and kept walking. We were in front of her house now. "Are you okay?" I said looking her in the eyes.
"Oh Will," she sighed, her eyes watering up again. I turned her round to face me. It was night now. Then I thought back to movies I'd watched, how did you comfort someone?
"She's alive inside you," I whispered. Yes very cheesy, but I decided to go with it.
"With everything you do, everything you say, every decision you make is because a part of her is alive in you and is telling you to make that decision. She's going to be the happiness you feel when you wake up in the morning, the calmness you feel when you go to sleep.
Sure she may not be here now, but her emotions are still alive, and she loves you," I said kindly, softly and gently. I spoke from the heart and let the words float out of my mouth and hang in air. I knew if I were in her position, I would not be so calm about it. I was glad she was letting me talk to her. We were silent for a moment. Then she hugged me, and I hugged her back
"I think I love you," she whispered into my ear. I froze for a moment. But then unfroze, she leaned away from me and smiled half-heartedly. She waved then walked into her house. I stood there in the darkness.
A part of me was flattered. She loves me, a fluttery feeling inside. A beautiful, bond haired girl with a brain liked me. I was honored. I was so lucky. Not everyone was so lucky. It was impossible. But that was only a small part of me. I was terrified. I thought she only started liking me a few days ago.
No she doesn't really love you, said a voice in my mind. But how often did she say that? I'd never heard her say that to Zane. I'd never even heard her say it to the girls. And didn't girls do that.
She's just hurting emotionally, she doesn't know what she's saying, relax. I took a deep breath and headed home. I snuck in through the front door, but sadly I was heard.
"Where have you been Will?" asked mum half yawning. I looked at her; she was thin, with blond curly hair. She was holding a cup of hot-chocolate.
"I lost track of time," I said honestly, waving the book at her
"It's been dark for half an hour and it take ten minutes to get her. So you were reading for twenty minutes in the dark?" she said suspiciously. Wow she was good.
"Wasn't that dark," I said lamely. She smiled at me and I grinned
"With a girl?" she asked. Despite myself I blushed. "So yes." She laughed like a young girl and smiled another small smile
"My girlfriend," I said quietly. The first time I said it out loud. I liked it
"You have a girlfriend" she exclaimed, though she didn't seem surprised. "Who is she?"
"Well her name's Rikki," I said
"Is she pretty?"
"Very." Mum smiled at this response,
"Go up to bed Will," she said softly. I nodded and headed up the stairs. Once I reached the top I realized there was someone waiting for me
"Hey Will," said my sister, Sophie. Her red hair slightly messy. She got it from Dad.
"Hi," I said dodging round her and into my room, she followed
"You're dating Rikki." she stated tonelessly. I turned to face her
"Correct,"
"I don't like her," she said swiftly. I was getting annoyed. She didn't like her? How could she say that? It's not like she knew her, or spent any time with her.
"You never did," I spat. Her eyes widened slightly at my tone, but only for a moment.
"So what? You ditched me for Bella, now you're ditching Bella for Rikki?"
I stiffened ever so slightly at the mention of Bella. I knew it would hurt her once she found out. But hopefully, she would see that I didn't like her like that, she was a friend. A very good friend.
"I never ditched you for Bella, she helped me train. And she's nicer than you. She introduced me to Rikki,"
"What happened to spending time with me Will?" she yelled
"I found out just how horrible and judgmental you really are!" I cried back. We stood facing each other, both standing out ground
"I'm not horri-" she began
"Oh don't get me started Soph. You got fired from the cafe. You were caught kissing Rikki's boyfriend. You have no friends. And you're blaming your brother because you're lonely and have no one to talk to!"
She was silent for a moment. I felt bad. But everything I said was true. I was about to apologize when she spoke.
"Well Will, look at all this new found confidence, did your new friends give it to you. The three freaks, Zane and the Nerd. Nice bunch of friends," she turned around and stalked out of my room, slamming the door behind her.
She was right, my new friends had given me confidence, but she was wrong about one thing. I don't think Zane was one of my friends. I collapsed on my bed not bothering to change. And just before I fell asleep a sentence flashed brightly in my mind
I think I love you
