#4 of All Alone

Hello everyone!! I'm glad I got the chance to write this chapter now, I might not be able to update as much as I have been, but I'll try to! Don't forget to leave feedback, you guys can criticize me, I won't get mad! I always appreciate advice on how to be better. Thanks!!!


I had finally gotten started on the frame of the body of the picture I was starting when the last bell rang. I scooped up my materials and put them in my locker so I could get started right away tomorrow. I had to go meet Ryan at his car so we could go to his house to study. I started walking down the hallway, there was Alex, but he didn't stop me today, he just glared. "What is up with him?" I think to myself as I walked by, avoiding eye contact. He wasn't around his friends either. Something was up. But I don't really know what, but I don't need to think about that, right now I need to think about what is happening now. I walked to the exit of the school and saw Ryan standing there. He grinned, "Hey!" he said cheerfully. "Hi!" I say back. I'm really happy to see him. I wonder if he feels the same about me. "Well, are you ready to go?" he asks. I nod and we walk over to his car.

He starts the car and turns out of the school parking lot. "So..." he said, "I kinda wanted to talk about what happened yesterday." I felt nervous, but I looked over to him and nodded. "I'm not really sure what I was thinking. I didn't even once consider how you would feel about it. I kinda just took the risk and went in. But I really want to apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable or awkward." He looked at me quickly then back at the road, so he could see the reaction to his words. I wasn't sure where he was really going with this, so I gave him a "go on" look. "All I wanted to say is I'm really sorry. I don't want to lose the one friend I've made because of something like this." He paused, "How do you feel about all of this? Can you forgive me?" I look at him. I'm really nervous now. "I..." I stutter a little. I take a deep breath and look away. "I think I really like you. I haven't had friends in a really long time and all I wanted was to find someone I feel like I can trust. I really think you could be that person. I know we don't really know each other, but I want to get to know you. Thats not something I can say about most people. So I'm happy that you did it." My face is bright red now, So is Ryan's. "Really?" he says in disbelief. "Yes." I say, I can't meet his eyes, I'm way too scared to see his reaction. But when I try to get a quick glance, he is smiling and blushing. "I'm glad to hear that." he says.

We finally get to his house and get out of the car. It seems a little weird now to meet his eyes. He knows how I feel now, but I'm not 100% sure I know how he feels about me. So we sit down at his table and do some homework. We get bored of that pretty quickly. But he had an X-Box so it wasn't hard to find something to do. He popped in a first person shooter game and we started to play. After about an hour he says, "You wanna watch a movie?" I nod and he puts an action adventure movie on that I don't know the name of. He sits down and scoots a little closer to me. About a half hour later I am starting to get kinda tired. My eyes droop and my head leans on Ryan's shoulder. I feel him take in a sharp breath, I quickly pull my head back up. "Its ok," he says and pulls me back to his body. Then he wraps his arm around my shoulder. I feel so safe in his arms, I don't feel nervous or anxious or anything. Just comfortable. I haven't felt this way in a long time.

The movie is finally over and he wants to drive me home. We go outside to his car and get in. It's late now, past sundown. We drive back to my house and he pulls up my driveway to let me out, but he doesn't open the doors. "Did you mean it when you said you were happy when I kissed you?" I nod, a little embarrassed. "Then I guess I can do this." he says, and before I can ask him what he means he pulls me in for a long passionate kiss. His lips are so warm and he tastes like peppermint. My hand finds his chest and his gently grabs the back of my head. This feeling is the best I've ever felt in my entire life. He pulls away. "Will you be my boyfriend?" He asks me. I smile the widest I ever have. "Yes!" I say quietly "I will!" He smiles and pulls me into a hug. We just hold each other for another couple of minuets. Finally we break apart and he smiles again. "I'll text you tomorrow, maybe we can hang out for a little while." I nod excitedly. "Awesome!" he says, "I'll see you tomorrow!" "Bye!" I say and get out of the car and head into my house.

I go up the stairs and go into my bedroom. I feel great, like I can do anything. But unfortunately, I still have some homework left, and it's really late. So I quickly do the homework and jump in the shower. The soap rushes down my fur and the warm water feels nice on my back. The feeling of happiness is still inside my chest. He wanted to be my boyfriend! This is real life!! It seems like a too good to be true situation, but I don't see how it couldn't be true. I step out of the shower and dry myself off. I go back to my room and lay down in my bed. I am happy, but still extremely tired. I decide to go to sleep a little early today. I can't think of a more perfect way to end the day.
