Chapter 6: Hazels POV
The ride home was silent, but a good kind of silent. A silence that meant everything was back into place. I looked out the window most of the ride while he was holding my hand. And I even noticed him looking at me with a smile on his face a couple times. After leaving the church, he dropped me off at my house. I felt really bad because I feel like I had blamed everything on him. Because of my problems. Gosh I'm selfish. Once we pulled in my driveway, he let go of my hand to put the car in park.
I spoke first. "I'm sorry for everything. This probably isn't what you expected or wanted every day when I came here. Drama from every corner." I said looking at him, but he wasn't looking at me. Augustus was looking down and fiddling with his hands. He didn't say anything. Just kept playing with his hands. I nodded pursing my lips and started to open the door to leave.
"Wait." He spoke up. I turned around closing the door. He now was looking at me. "I knew you were worried about Caroline from the start. Once I left home, the first thought on my mind was whether or not you would believe I would go back to Caroline or not. I was expecting some drama when you would get here. But maybe I overlooked it thinking it wouldn't be a problem. I just didn't think it would hurt you." He said.
"It'll blow over soon enough." I said. He look so worried. Thats when I noticed I was frowning. He sighed tilting his head. "I'm not losing you to her." He said defeatedly. "Neither am I." I happily agreed with a smile on my face. This led him to smile. "I'll see you later?" I asked. He was still smiling. "Most definitely." He said. Then it went silent. "Okay?" He asked. "Okay." And with that, I opened the car door and walked inside my home.
As I walked in, I went straight towards the family room and fell on my couch. Would Caroline ever go that far to hurt me? Of course she would, shes Caroline. When I heard about her, she seemed nice and sweet. Hah cross that off. He meant everything to me. And nothing would change that.
I checked the time and it was already 2:00 pm. Wow I thought to myself, it was so late in the afternoon it felt like the day hardly gone by. I was bored. I didn't know what to do. I have been hanging out with Augustus every day I haven't really done anything at home alone. I wish Kaitlyn were here. Even though were not that close, I really wish I had an old friend to talk too.
After he was just about to drop me off at home, he said he would be over at five. 3 more hours I thought to myself sighing.
Before he did come over I cleaned a little in the places that needed to be dusted, wiped and washed. This included counters, tables, all the way up to my bedroom. The doorbell rang a couple minutes after I had finished cleaning. As the doorbell rang, I opened saying, "You're early!" He responded, "And your beautiful." I smiled accepting his hug. Everything was back into place.
He walked inside and I closed the door. "I have a bunch of movie choices for tonight. Maybe I'll let you pick the movie if you can stay awake through the whole thing?" He said smiling. "Deal." I said smiling back and he handed me the movie choices. As I picked the movie, Augustus went over to the DVD player to start the movie. I went up stairs to get blankets and as I was walking back down, the home phone rang.
As the phone was going off, Augustus and I were looking back and each other confusingly. No one ever called my home phone besides Augustus, who was right next to me, and Danny sometimes called my house but thats just if Augustus doesn't answer his phone.
Augustus and I ran over to the phone. The number was one that we both haven't seen before. "Who do you think it could be?" I asked. "Either someone has the wrong number or-" He said with his face lighting up. "Or what?" I asked sounding scared. He reached for the phone and answered it.
"Hello?" he asked into the phone smiling. Why was he smiling so much? It was just a random call. I heard mumbling with in the phone. And with every second, Augustus face got even happier. "Okay, thank you." He responded ending the call and putting the phone back on the stand.
He backed away putting his hands on his head. He was still smiling. I just sat there looking at him confusingly. "Augustus, who was that?" I asked. "Oh my gosh. I can't believe it." He said under his breath. "Augustus what just happened?" I asked sounding a little bit more frustrated. He looked over at me. His smile was still as big as the universe.
"We need to go." He said smiling running over to his jacket for his keys. "Augustus who was calling and why are you so freakishly happy all of sudden?" I asked. He turned to me. "You know when you enter this world, after they meet and greet you, you go to the 'Check In Center' to find a home or lost loved ones?" He said grabbing my shoulders face still shining. "Yeah?" I said. "They called. Someone here is looking for us. Someone that we left way too soon." He said. "And who would that be?" I asked. He released my shoulders and grabbed my hands.
"Issac and Kaitlyn. They're here." He said.
Like when Augustus found me, I lit up like a Christmas Tree.
