We Stitch These Wounds

Chapter 8 - Cigarettes and Long Walks Home

I got in my truck that afternoon and I had no luck in getting it started. I pleaded from the drivers seat for the car to start but it wasn't having any of it. I got out of the car, slamming the door and kicked the front wheel in frustration before zipping up my hoodie and beginning my walk home. I'd have to get Kellin to come and fix it in the morning, he'd gone home with Vic tonight because they had to do a project for chemistry. I shoved my hands deep into my pockets as the evening chill began to set in. I loved how the streets looked in the winter, the trees looked bare and empty without their leaves, and when the sun was setting the sky would go shades of blue it never went in the summer. I was so distracted by the colour of the sky, I almost jumped out of my skin when I crashed into Andy who was just standing infront of me smiling.
"What happened to looking where you're walking, Princess?" There was that stupid nickname again, I rolled my eyes and walked around him only to hear him turn and catch up with me.
"I thought you were with Amy? Isn't she expecting you or something?" I snapped. Okay I was mostly angry about my car and I was taking it out on him, but he still led me on, or I just let my imagination run away with me. He looked at me, clearly confused by my tone of voice but just continued to light up a cigarette, and offer me one.
"Don't know and I don't really care either, so why exactly are you walking home rather than travelling in your death trap of a truck?" I took a drag on the cigarette and tried to compose myself. My truck was old, but she was my baby. My baby that had given up and failed me.
"My baby gave up on me. What about you? Where's the caddy?" A cheeky smile spread across his face. Like he was hiding something, it made me kind of nervous to be honest.
"I crashed the caddy into a lamppost 7 times." I stopped and looked at him as he turned to me and shrugged, "My dad pissed me off and it was his car, so I rolled down the window, stuck my middle finger up and rammed it into the lamppost repeatedly, so he said I'm not allowed to drive for a week." He carried on walking and I ran to catch up with him.
"So where are you walking exactly?" He smiled and waited untill I was next to him then backed me up against a nearby wall, looking into my eyes making my heart skip beats as I tried to control my breathing and resist with every muscle against kissing him as I looked up at him. Without breaking eye contact he inhaled smoke and moved his face closer to mine, our lips brushing together for just a second and breathed the smoke into my mouth, lingered for a second then moved away with a smile. "I'm walking you home." He said as he walked off in front me.
"Who the fuck do you think you are?" I shouted after him. He turned around and flicked the cigarette into the road, dazzling me with his crooked half smile. My god, I couldn't get enough of that smile.
"I'm the biggest, egotistical jackass you've ever met, I get my kicks out of pissing you off, my confidence intimidates you and I have a smile that makes you week at the knees," he'd been stepping closer to me and was now standing over me, "but Princess," he leaned in a little closer, and I felt my heart rate speed up as he laced his fingers through mine, "I am the best damn thing," he leaned in so our faces were an inch apart and I could smell smoke, "that will ever happen to you." With that he stuck his tongue out and licked my bottom lip, smiled and walked away. Jerk.
Once we got to my bungalow, he told me that Kellin and I would be walking with him to the party tomorrow night and as he went to walk away, he stopped and chucked something back to me. I caught it and saw it was a little black box. "Andy what's this for?"
He didn't even turn around, just shouted over his shoulder, "The reason your baby failed you."
The anger boiled up inside me "Jackass!" I screamed at the back of his head.
"Love you too, Princess!" I could practically hear him smiling.
I fucking hate that guy.
