Beautiful Remains
5
I felt the bed shift in weight and arms find their way around my waist, causing me to jump awake and realize where I am. Andrew groaned next to me as I pulled myself away from his grip. I pulled myself out of the bed and franticly grabbed my clothes.
"What's wrong? Where are you going?" Andrew asked me pulling his half naked self out of the bed. I stopped and pointed to the door, telling him I have to go. I grabbed my bag and started walking toward the door. I grabbed the door knob and turned it but a hand covered mine and stopped me. I spun around on my heel to see Andrew grabbing my hand and pinning me against the door. "Don't go." Andrew whispered close to my face. He was getting scary but Andrew had this soft pleading expression in his intense blue eyes, I couldn't help but melt. "I know I only just met you," Andrew said, moving is hands up to my face and cupping my cheeks. "but I am not ready to let go of you yet." He smiled and pulled me close pressing his lips to mine.
Those fireworks that you hear about in story books, they are real. I know because I felt tons of fireworks in just that one 30 second kiss that left me breathless as well as Andrew. He was silent for a moment, "Did you feel that?" he whispered. I looked up at him, his beautiful blue eyes staring down at me and wrapped my arms around his neck pulling to me pressing my lips to his before he could say another word. Andrew's arms wrapped around my waist and rested on the small of my back pulling me closer to him. "Please stay, I'll drive you home tonight." Andrew said, trying to catch his breath. I just nodded. "I'll go make you breakfast than!" he said exited. Andrew left and I just changed back into my school uniform that surprisingly had no more dirt or blood stains on it, that must have been what Andrew was cleaning before.
I ascended down the staircase and into the kitchen. Where Andrew stood in front of a stove making eggs while Jake, Ashley and CC sat at the table messing around. CC looked up to see me and instantly moved over to the chair next to him and patted the chair he was sitting in before for me to sit down. I smiled and sat down. It was awkwardly silent for a moment till Ashley butted in.
"So Remains is it?" he asked, I nodded but keeping my head down staring at the table. "How did you get that name?" Ashley asked me, I stayed silent when Jake hit him in the arm.
"Dude, did you forget she's a mute, stupid!" Jake loudly whispered to him. I just nodded in agreement.
"Well, can you write stuff down?" CC asked standing up from his seat and walking over to the counter, he grabbed a notebook and pen. I nodded and took it from him, writing down 'sure' on a page of notebook paper pushing it to him. "So how did you get the name Remains?" CC asked me. I took the notebook and started writing, sliding it back to him when I was done.
"What's it say?" Ashley asked.
"That's what my mother named me before she gave me up, I remember from when I was about two she once said it had to do with the shattered remains of her innocence." CC quoted from what I wrote. Everyone grew silent, till Jake broke the silence.
"Why are you mute though?" he asked. I took the notebook back and wrote, handing it back to CC.
"I am afraid to speak." CC quoted. "What are you afraid of?" CC asked me concerned. I took the pen and wrote 'It's a long story.' CC looked at the paper then me. "You can tell us, we won't judge you." he told me rubbing my shoulder. I looked up at them and they all seemed truly concerned and protective of me, I thought about what has happened and why I don't speak. Once I did the tears started flowing. I hiccuped and wiped away a tear as strong arms came up behind me and wrapped around my neck resting on my shoulders. Andrew. I placed my hands on his forearms keeping him there and nuzzled my head into his elbow.
"I am here for you." he whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine. I sighed and shook my head, no I am not ready. "Take your time." Andrew whispered to me then kissed the top of my head before letting go and placing a plate in front of me. Sigh.
