The boy that you loved, is the man that you fear~ Marilyn Manson

Chapter 8

My eyes open for a few moments but everything is blurry. I can feel someone's arms wrapped around me and carrying me but it's not too long until I pass out again. I eventually wake up again but this time in my bed.  I open my eyes wide open and look around. I see Brian sitting on the floor in front of my cd stand, he's looking through my albums. I still felt awkward, why is he here, did he see my scars, oh god I hope not. I try lifting myself up but struggle, I groan in pain which causes Brian to look over to me. "Sofia!" He yells, then runs over to me and helps me sit up. "What happened?" He asks me. I ignore his question and ask him "Why are you here?" He lowers his head and sighs then begins to speak. "I felt so bad about our argument before and I tried texting and calling you but you didn't answer me, after a while I had a gut feeling that something was wrong so I came over here and found that the front door was open. The house looks so dark and empty too. I walked upstairs to your room and when I came into your room I saw your unconscious body laying flat on the ground and blood, blood was all over the floor." He takes a moment to look up at me then continues. "I lifted you up and you felt so cold, I feared the worst so I turned you over and felt your wrist, luckily I felt a pulse so I picked you up and brought you over to your bed and tucked you in. Your awake now, I'm so glad" he says with a relieved voice and gives me a slight smile. I lower my head and I begin dripping tears out of my eyes. I can't believe he saw all this, I feel like shit. Brian moves over to me and holds me which causes me to cry even more. "Shh shh" he whispers gently into my ear while stroking my hair softly. After a while Brian pulls back and looks into my eyes and asks me again, "Sofia, What happened?". I take a deep breath and manage to tell him everything. He is left with tears in his eyes and the saddest look I have ever seen on his face. "You really do care, don't you?" I ask. "With all my heart, I have never cared for anyone so much as I care for you." He replies. My heart filled up with warmness and I pull him in and kiss him, he kisses me back. Then he wraps his arms around me and just holds me.

I decide that it's time for me to pack my things so we begin packing everything and putting them in suitcases. Brian reaches my underwear draw and pulls it open. "Brian! Don't look in there!" I yell at him. He immediately picks up my red lacy panties from the draw and waves it around. "BRIAN!" I yell while running over to him trying to grab it out of his hands. "Come on give it to me!" I yell. "Make me" he says with a smirk on his face, which really turns me on. "And how do you propose I do that?" I say more calmly. He gestures me to come closer to him. I lean in closer to him and he suddenly picks me up. I start to giggle loudly, he pins me up against the wall and moves his head right up against my neck and breaths heavily on it which turns me on so much. I then feel him put my panties in my hand and then he moves away from me slowly. "Your such a tease!" I yell at him. "He laughs then continues to pack for me. We finish packing, we grab all my things and take them downstairs. "Hey I called my dad, he said he'll pick us up in a couple minutes" Brian says. "Are you sure it's alright for me to stay with you guys? I don't want to be a burden." I ask. "Sofia, your not a burden, my parents love you. Plus having you living with me will be the best thing that has ever happened to us" Brian says then walks over to me and wraps his arms around my neck to gaze into my eyes. "Okay?" He adds. "Okay" I reply with a smile. We were about to kiss when we get interrupted by the loud sound of a car horn. "He's here, let's go" Brian says while picking up my stuff. We head outside and put my things in the trunk of the car. Hugh walks out of the car and gives me a great big hug. "Sofia I'm so glad your staying with us" he says, "Thanks for letting me" I say sweetly. We both smile then get into the car. As we drive off I look out the window and stare at my house for the last time and watch it fade away into the distance.

We arrive at Brian's house 10 minutes later and I see Barbra waiting outside for us. I get out of the car and walk around it, Barbra walks up to me and hugs me tight, her hugs are so nice and warm, I started tearing up again but managed to hold myself together. We stop hugging at smile at each other, Come on Sofia lets go inside, the boys can bring your things in. "Thanks!" both Brian and Hugh yell in a annoyed tone, Barbra and I continue to walk inside. She leads me into the kitchen and tells me to sit down so I do so. She walks into the kitchen and starts making us some tea. When the tea is ready she walks back to me and places my tea in front of me. "Thanks Barbra" I say with a shy smile, "Your quiet welcome" She says smiling warmly at me. "Sofia everything's going to be alright now, you have us now" she says. I hope she's right, because I honestly have no one else. "It's so nice of you to let me stay with you, especially because you didn't need to take me in" I say. "Don't worry about it. I think I'll like having another girl around here" she says giving me a smile. "Also Brian wouldn't have this any other way." She adds. The boys finally walk in with all my things, I stand up and walk over to them, "Thanks guys, I mean it" I say. "No problem" Hugh says struggling to carry one of my suit cases. "Come on Sof, I'll show you to your room" Hugh says. Brian and I look at each other with confused looks, "I have my own room?" I question Hugh, "I thought she was staying in mine" Brian added. "Yes and No." Hugh replies. "You guys don't expect us to have two teenagers sleeping next to each other in the same bed every night do you?" Barbra joins in the conversation. "Why not? you too do it" Brian says cheekily implying his parents are teenagers. "Oh shut up Brian" Barbra says with a slight laugh. "Come on I'll show it to you" Hugh says. Brian, Hugh and I pick up my things and we start following Hugh to my new bedroom.
