I sat on the floor packing any extra things I missed, still sobbing here and there. I closed up my bag and hung it over my shoulder. I stood in front of the door and pressed my hands to the wood, my slippers rubbed against the frame and I slowly turned the knob letting the door creak open. No one in front of the door so I walked out but just as I did I felt someone grab a hold of me. I half screamed and stumbled back, falling to the floor. I looked up to see Andrew now hovering over me, his face pale, his hair a mess, his eyes red and puffed along with his nose and the cute smile I love so much was replaced with a frown. Andrew sniffed and leaned down hugging me close. His hair got a little in my face but I didn't mind cause I was too concentrated on the warmth of his embrace.
"Remains, please don't leave." he said into my shoulder. I stayed silent. "I know I fucked up big time but I will try to make it up to you everyday of my life but please forgive me." he pleaded. "Remains, I love you. I do. Please forgive me." Andrew pulled away from me and just hovered over me looking down at me, he frowned and rubbed my face with his hand brushing away the tears that were falling. "Remains, please talk to me. Say something." he spoke softly to me with a sob in his voice.
"An-Andrew." I spoke, stuttering slightly in my soft unspoken voice. "I-I love yo-ou." I continued. Andrew gave me a soft smile and hugged me again.
"You talked to me. You're voice is as cute as I imagined it to be." he chocked out as he squeezed me to death. "I could never understand how you felt about me, no matter how much I love you I can't read you like a book."
"Andrew, I love you. I always have and as crazy as it seems I do forgive you." I told him, tripping over a few words. I can't believe I am talking again.
"I am so sorry, I love you so much though." Andrew said before leaning down and pressing his lips to mine. It was sweet and short but an amazing reunion type of kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him close as Andrew rolled from on top of me and wrapped his arms around my waist. No one else seems to be home so laying in the middle of the hallway didn't seem so awkward. It was silent for a few minutes just the sound of Andrew's rising heart beat in my ears. "Remains." Andrew whispered into my hair.
"Yes?" I asked. Andrew shifted a bit.
"Can you tell me what made you not want to speak for so long?" Andrew asked me, I shot up from his grip. Andrew sat up as well and looked at me. I stayed silent, unsure of what to say next. "Please?" asked Andrew in a soft voice. I nodded and breathed in.
"When I was 13, I was at a high school keg party with Kyr but she left me after a while. I was sitting on the porch when this guy started talking to me and grabbed me but when I refused he-uh- he like-" I stuttered out, trying to think of how to put it.
"What did he do?" Andrew asked, becoming impatient.
"He ra-ped me." I whispered. Andrew's eyes bugged out of his head. "He told me not scream and gagged me, he said if I told anyone I would die and so would who I told so I stayed quiet." I explained. Andrew was stunned silent. After a few moments Andrew gritted his teeth.
"Who was this?" he asked, still clenching his jaw clearly angry.
"Kyr's older brother." I spoke in a soft whispered but Andrew could still hear me and he wasn't happy at all. Andrew stood up but I grabbed his hand and stopped him from walking away. "It's all in the past now." I spoke to him but he ignored my words and went with his impulse. This is not good.
