Secrets (On Hold)

Secrets Chapter 5

Chapter 5 PTST.

So. It's been literally a month and three days since I've posted on this story. Wooooot. Did you see the sarcasm? Good. Cookies for you. Stuff to read on the bottom!

Chapter 5.

That had been a really fun day, despite the circumstances.

We had continued playing around in the park, then had walked around town, and gotten some Strawberry Italian Ice to bring back home to Mac and Joel. Then, we had continued to just walk around and talk, and came home and had stuffed shells at Mac's. Her mom's cooking is the bomb.

Now, we were just playing a game of Candyland, with Jo in the lead.

Yeah. We all suck at this game, apparently.

Suddenly, the beat from I <3 Hello Kitty by Blood On The Dance Floor started playing, and Braedon pulled out his phone. He sighed, and began to give us all hugs, saying that he had to go back home. Jo came over and practically attacked his legs, and gave him her best begging face. "You're gonna come again tomorrow right? Please, please, please?"

He smiled and nodded, twirling her around. I smiled and said,"Jo, it's bedtime, okay?" She frowned, but smiled again as Braedon said he would put her to sleep. He carried her up to Mac's room, and placed her on the bottom bunk. He kissed her forehead and tucked her in, whispering something in her ear that made her giggle.

They were so cute.

Braedon would be a good older brother figure for her.

We slowly sneaked out of the room, and down the stairs. Mac stayed with Jo, and I was standing by the door while Braedon said his goodbyes and thankyous to Ms. A. She told him he'd be welcome back any time.

I sat on the steps out on the porch and sighed.

I didn't feel safe sleeping tonight. She could come back any time, and she'd undoubtedly know we were here. So, I wouldn't sleep unless I knew for sure Mac, her mother, and especially Jo were safe. I'd do that for as long as I'd need to. They wouldn't get hurt on my account, not again.

Braedon seemed to see the discomfort on my face, and sat down next to me, his arm around my shoulder, holding me close to him. "They'll be fine, Lyr. I promise." I buried my head in his chest, taking in his scent. He smelled like Vanilla. I sighed. "I honestly don't know what to do, Brae." He didn't say anything after that, just held me.

That simple gesture helped me more than any conversation would.

It showed he really cared, and he wasn't just saying it. I knew I could trust him, I knew he'd be in my life a long time. That feeling from when he walked into class came back, and so did the pain in my arm, but like before, I just brushed it off.

He kissed the top of my head, and mumbled,"'Night, Lyr. See you tomorrow." And with that he left, leaving me wishing he was still here. I sighed, and layed on the bench that was also on the porch, pulling the blanket I left there over myself. It wasn't too cold, so I could sleep out here and not have a problem. Since Mac didn't have a back door to her house, and all her windows were locked, I could keep the only entrance guarded. I was kind of a light sleeper, so that also wasn't a problem.

I fell asleep without problem.

I dreamed of me, Joel, and Braedon, near a waterfall, looking at double rainbows. I'm not sure why....this was the first dream I'd had in a while that wasn't a nightmare, or just black.

In the morning, I had woken up as soon as the sun had come up.

I took a quick shower, using my Blueberry and Cream shampoo. (A.n//It's a real shampoo, and it smells SOOO GOOOD:D. Everytime I used it, it made me crave a blueberry muffin from Dunkin' Donuts lol.//A.n.) I threw on a white shirt that said in rainbow colors,"I'm a dinasour...so like....Rawr..and stuff.", extremely light blue ripped skinny jeans, my I <3 Dinasours hoodie, and my Converse Chuck Taylor Black, Pink, and yellow low tops.
