Re: Never Alone. (Shiori)

Leah had just finished making Liam's bed, when her phone buzzed uncomfortably in her pocket. She fished it out of her pocket and flipped it open. Leah read the text and then sighed, resting against the wall and she finally replied.

It's okay... I was just scared shitless something bad was going to happen to you. Try not to do that again, all right? I'll text you later, I have a hell of a lot of chores to finish up...

by Spritz Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:15 pm

The almost silent buzzing of his phone made Eric jump, and he glanced to his hand, his fingers wrapped tightly around the item. Opening them, he read the message with a taught face, afraid about what he was going to read, but what he did read made him feel a bit better.

I'm sorry. For everything. For what happened today. But remember that after a storm, the weather clears and gives way to something much more beautiful.

Leah had just taken the huge heap of laundry downstairs and finished sorting it into the different colors, and was now putting the darks into the dryer and putting the whites into the washing machine. Leah sighed and looked at the phone and read the text over and over again, trying to find out what to say.

Maybe. But what's that going to be now? My parents are going to kill me when they get home.

by Spritz Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:24 pm

Maybe not. Meet me at the park at seven, if you can get out. Please.

After hitting the send button, Eric leaned back against the wall. It was late afternoon, and the sky was giving away into twilight. It would probably be dark by the time they would meet there, if she could get out in the first place, but he had to talk to her.

by Guest Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:29 pm

Leah read the text and nodded, going upstairs to finish the beds. It was almost seven. She had about twenty more minutes. It'd be dark by then. Leah frowned, but it was quickly wiped away. She was hopeful that something might happen. Maybe she could steal another kiss. Maybe not. Leah sighed and replied:

All right, I'll be there. I guess the window is a pretty handy escape hatch. (;

by Spritz Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:33 pm

You got it girl! Watch out of the gutter. Dont slide down it, or you'll ruin your shirt. Unless, you like the new 'style'.

Eric grinned at the wink face she had put into the text, and leaned back on his bed. He was genuinley happy, even with a tore up face and multiple wounds. Glancing at his alarm clock, he figured he should try to fix himself up a little bit, if not just to ease her mind about his wounds. He was pretty sure she would freak out, and hoped she wouldn't but he couldn't be sure.

by Guest Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:39 pm

lol okay. see you there.

Leah smiled and checked out the time. She should probably get into better clothes and redo her make-up. She walked into her room and grabbed a hoodie and then went into her bathroom. She quickly applied eyeliner and checked the time. Ten minutes until seven. Smiling slightly, she let herself out of the house and began down the street to the park.

by Spritz Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:42 pm

Sitting on one of the swings, Eric's eyes were looking for Leah. It was almost seven, and as he saw a familiar slender figure come into view, he stood, his face breaking into a painful grin. Wincing slightly at the scab on his cheek, he rushed forward and wrapped her in a huge hug, wanting to let her know that he wasn't mad at her for anything. Pulling back, he gave her a gentle smile.
"Hey Leah."

by Guest Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:48 pm

Leah smiled when she saw Eric's face come into view, and before she knew it, his body pressed against hers in a hug. She couldn't help but let her smile broaden, and when he pulled back it took all her might for her not to kiss him. She was afraid it might be a bit odd. When she saw his face, however, she moved her hand up and fingered the bruises and cuts, "Oh, God, Eric... I'm so sorry. Did Liam do this to you?" Leah felt incredibly guilty as she let her hand fall and rested her forehead on his chest. "I'm so sorry..."

by Spritz Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:51 pm

Eric's smile turned into a frown as she ran a hand over his mangled face, and he quickly took her hand in his, as she leaned her forhead against his chest. "I'm fine." He said softly, then looked around them. To be safe, he didn't want anyone seeing them, as word might just get around to Liam.
Looking at the playground where they had waited out the storm, he grabbed her hand in his, and walked them towards the playground, ducking in the small area.
"I dont want your brother seeing you." He said, his voice rather husky.

by Guest Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:56 pm

Leah smiled at him, glad to be with him again. Though his face and cuts made her feel extremely guilty, his presence made her feel secure once more. Leah followed him into the small area. For some reason, it felt a lot more awkward now that he'd kissed her that she was stuck once more in this tiny area with him. She leaned back, this time right beside him, instead of across from him and sighed. "I'm just glad you're all right..." she murmured.

by Spritz Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:01 pm

Leah's smile meant the world to Eric. He was afraid that she would refuse to see, or even speak to him again, and in that moment, when thier eyes met eachothers, He had to look away, afraid that the sudden impulse to kiss her would be too much for him. His hand rested on top of hers slightly, and a small smile quirked his lips. "I'm fine. But I dont want to dwell on that."

by Guest Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:08 pm

Leah 's heart skipped a beat whentheir eyes met. She smiled rather weakly, feeling her face flush heatedly. When she turned her head to look at him again, she couldn't help but notice how close their faces were. It took every piece of strength in her body to keep her from kissing him. She really wanted to kiss him, or vice versa, but she didn't know if he'd accept it. "Yeah, me either." She whispered softly.

by Spritz Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:12 pm

A slow, steady smile quirked Eric's lips, and he quickly cleared his throat. "Dont be mad, k?" He asked, right before leaning in closer to her. His nose gently brushed against hers, his lips moving ontop of hers. His hands circled her waists, and he grimaced, hoping he wouldn't be rejected.

by Guest Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:19 pm

Leah nodded, momentarily confused about what he was talking about. When she realized what he meant, and she felt his arms around her waist. It was a tiny bit awkward, their position. But she didnt mind. Leah moved her lips closer to his until they touched. Leah wrapped her arms around his neck almost involuntarily.

by Spritz Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:21 pm

A small smile played on Eric's lips, as he slowly felt Leah bring her head up, her own lips meeting his. He recalled her wrapping her arms around his neck, and smoothed her hair with his free hand. It was this that he had been waiting for, he noticed.

(Fail g2g! Be on later.)

by Guest Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:25 pm

[ okay, bai bai D: ]

Leah smiled in her head, shifting slightly and adjusting her arms. It felt weird, though, after only two days of knowing him. But the sensation it gave her was too significant to ignore. Leah let her eyes flutter shut, her heart pounding in her chest; so loud that she felt like it was going to pop out.

by Spritz Fri Nov 04, 2011 6:44 pm

Pulling away gently, he ran his tounge over his lips slightly, rather in awe of what he had just done himself. Now, now that he actually thought about it, it was obviously uncalled for, but it was too late to undo any of it, and even if he could, he wouldn't. Now, at least he knew that they felt the same about eachother, that they weren't on different pages.
"I owe you an icecream."

by Guest Fri Nov 04, 2011 6:57 pm

Leah smiled at him when he pulled away, but she was happy he'd kissed her. A tugging feeling in her heart was afraid it'd be the last one. Ignoring the thought, she shyly removed her arms from around his neck, blushing slightly. "I'm holding you to that," Leah said softly, smiling, her lips still tingling a bit.

by Spritz Sat Nov 05, 2011 6:49 pm

"Dont be afraid to.. I always keep my word." Eric was tempted to kiss her once again, but pushed the feeling away, blinking once. Had it really only been two days since he had met her?
"And next time, Liam wont spoil it." He smiled, but winced as the scab on his cheek threatened to crack open once again, and he didn't want that to happen here.

by Guest Sat Nov 05, 2011 6:52 pm

Leah chuckled momentarily, righting herself and sighing happily. It felt wrong, now, though. After two days, they'd already kissed? It was that damn strange (and completely unavoidable) attraction. Leah liked Eric. And now that she thought about it, the kiss had felt right. Leah wondered if this was just one of those "friends with benefits" situations. She didn't really want it to be, to be completely honest with herself. She smiled at his comment, "I hope not. I may as well run away from home." Leah sighed deeply, a bit less satisfied.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 11:13 am

Eric sighed. "Now I at least know how you're treated. I didn't believe you before when you said your family hated you. I dont think they actually hate you, but you proved my theory wrong about them just.. ignoring you...." Eric's strong voice quavered, then trailed off slightly. His lips were tingling unbearably, and he felt as though he was tripping over his words in an effort to say something.

by Guest Sun Nov 06, 2011 11:18 am

Leah shrugged. "It's not your fault," Leah frowned momentarily. "They're not usually that active with piling insults on me. I guess they just don't want new people to get to know me and such. It's.....sort of a way pf life for me now. That's why I'm glad I met you." Leah blushed slightly as she looked up at him. "It's nice having somebody to talk to and care for, I guess. It's different, too. But we're the same in so many ways, if you think about it..." Leah trailed off and stared at her feet.

by Spritz Sun Nov 06, 2011 11:25 am

"Why!?" Eric felt what Mrs. Quinn called 'righteous indignation' boiling up inside him again, and he pushed it down to a simmer. "Why wouldn't they want anyone meeting you?" She was by far, the most interesting person he had ever met, and... well, it was more than that. He felt the night air cooling around them, and the stars started to appear in the sky, one by one, as he gazed through the cracks.

by Guest Sun Nov 06, 2011 11:29 am

Leah was a bit surprised by his sudden burst of energy. She sighed deeply and shrugged, "I don't know," Leah replied truthfully. "I'm more like an indentured servant to them than a daughter." Leah shrugged again. "It didn't use to be like that. When Micah was still alive, they actually treated me like their daughter. But since he died....." Leah paused a moment, trying to steady himself, "...t-they sort of b-blamed me for his d-death." Leah shook her head and turned it away, so he could see her struggling not to cry.
