Chapter 8

Sophia's POV ~ I hadnt been in school the past couple days because they gave me pain meds that made me kinda loopy. I had been wearing shirts that had been covering the giant bruise from the seat belt. One because it was gross looking and i didnt like seeing it and two because i didnt want Dylan to see it. I didnt want him to worry about it. He had been coming over after school everyday. I saw him pull in the driveway so i threw my sweatshirt on over my tank top so Dylan wouldnt see. I heard him come in the house and come up stairs. I jumped on him as soon as he walked into my room. "Hey babe." Dylan said."Heyy!! I missed you!" I said and he pecked my lips and leaned his forehead on mine."I missed you too." Dylan said and he looked down at my lips and pressed his against mine. He pulled back and he smiled faded as he looked at my chest area. I had a zip up hoodie on and i guess i didnt zip it all the way up and he saw the bruise."Whats that?" Dylan asked as he put me on the ground. "Whats what Dyl?" I asked trying to act clueless but it didnt work."That on your neck and chest." Dylan said unzipping my sweatshirt a little bit and looking at the bruise."Its a bruise from the seatbelt... Its whats causing me the pain in my neck and shoulder. The seatbelt locked up when i was thrown forward so i got a bad bruise. I didnt want you to worry about it, or be more carefully around me because you didnt want to hurt me so i didnt want to tell you..." I said. I didnt want him to not hug me or anything because he thought he might hurt me. "Soph, you could have just told me all of that from the start. Does it hurt really bad?" Dylan asked."The bruise not so much anymore but my neck and shoulder are killing me.... Come here." I said. I laid down on my bed and he laid next to me. I laid on my side and squished myself against him an he wrapped his arms around me. I was holding his hand and running my fingers between his."Do you have to go to school tomorrow?" I asked."Well i dont have lab tomorrow cause its Wednesday so i guess i could take the day off." Dylan said."Can you stay here with me? I havent been sleeping right i wake up screaming in the middle of the night... I dont want to be alone. Im scared." I said."Sure, but why not for now we get you out of this room. You've been in here for 3 days!" Dylan said. "But i wanna cuddle!" I whined and turned to look him face to face. Dylan laughed at me."We can do plenty of cuddling later... I bet getting you out of this room will make you feel better too." Dylan said."Fine.... What do you want to do?" I asked. "How about just going out in the backyard. That way if you don't feel good you can come right back in." Dylan said."Okay..." I moped and got up, so did he.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We have a hammock in our backyard. This made it easy for Dylan and i to both get what we wanted. For me to get fresh air an for us to cuddle. It was warm out. Not to hot but just right, the sun wasnt shining to bright so that was good. We stared up at the clouds looking for shapes. Dylan pointed out a dragon, i pointed out a sea horse. We laughed at each other. After a while Tara came in the backyard with Emily and they were on the trampoline. Tara waved but didnt come over to us."So hows Tara doing about all this? I know she was really worried about you." Dylan said."Shes scared shes gonna accidentally hurt me... And she doesnt like to see me hurt, so shes beens keeping a distance... She'll come around soon and realize that im fine and it could have been worse..." I said. Dylan ran his hands through my hair. "You'll be okay soon too." Dylan said."I just dont understand why he's so mad at me.... I never did anything to him. Maybe thats part of the problem...." I said, i got upset and didnt want to cry in front of Dylan so i got out of the hammock and walked inside. I sat on the couch curled in a ball. I had my head tucked to my knees and was crying. I felt someone sit next to me and push a piece of hair out of my face and wiped the tears from my cheeks. My eyes were closed the whole time but i knew it was Dylan. I felt him wrap one arm around my shoulders and one around my waist. He picked me up and placed me on his lap, he hugged me tight and i placed my head in the crook of his neck. Neither of us said anything at first, i think he was just trying to relax me."Please dont cry baby girl... Hes not worth all this pain. I want you to know that im not gonna let you handle this alone. Im gonna help you settle this with him. That means you need to report what he said at the hospital, that was a threat. Hes purposely planning on trying to hurt you... We need to handle this so your safe..." Dylan said while rubbing one hand on my back and running one threw my hair. I somehow snuggled closer to him and he somehow hugged me tighter. "I love you." Dylan said."I love you too..." I said. We stayed like that for a while. I started to relax, i was so comfy in Dylan's arms i didnt want to move. I started to drift asleep in Dylan's soft grasp. He could tell i was falling asleep."Do you want to go lay down on your bed?" Dylan whispered in my ear."No, i want to stay here." I whispered back and smiled. He didnt answer but i could literally hear the smile come across his face. The steady beat of his heart by my ear relaxe me and lulled me to sleep.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I woke up and was in my room, it was dark but i could tell my one lamp was on. I didnt know how i got in my room. I didnt feel Dylan's arms around me anymore. I turned and saw Dylan sitting next to me on my bed. He was doing his homework."Hello sleepy head." Dylan said and i laughed."Hi" I said in a sleepy groggy voice. Dylan leaned over and kissed my forehead. "You've been sleeping for a while." Dylan said as i sat up."Really? How long?" I asked."Well it was around 4 when we fell asleep on the clock on the couch. I woke up at 5:30, i brought you up here and i started my home work. Its 7 now. So 3 hours." Dylan said."Im sorry Dyl i didnt mean to like totally pass out on you. I told you i havent gotten any sleep." I said."Its ok Soph i understand, i got my homework done so thats good." Dylan said. "So what do you want -" there was a knock on my door. "Come in." I said and my mom came in."Is Dylan staying for dinner?" My mom asked. I looked at Dylan."Yes, if thats okay." Dylan said."Of corse you can, anytime Dylan." My mom said. "Also, Sophia dress appropriately.... We're gonna have company over tonight." She said."Besides Dylan?" I asked confused. "Yes..." My mom said and left. "Thats weird..." I said. Dylan placed him hand on top of mine."Dont worry, who ever it is i'll be here with you." Dylan said."Thanks, im gonna shower and change." I said."Okay, i'll go see how Tara is." Dylan said."Dyl your so sweet." I said placing my lips on his. We kissed passionately and then i pulled back. "Im gonna shower now." I said, pecked his lips grabbed a towel and clothes an went to the bathroom.Dylan's POV ~Spohia got in the shower so i went downstairs to talk with Tara. When i got down stairs Tara was saying bye to Emily. She closed the door after Emily left and she turned around and just stood there."Why isnt Emily staying for dinner?" I asked."Umm.... Well, someone is coming over tonight an my mom didnt want to worry about Emily." Tara said kinda worried."Wanna talk kid?" I asked, i saw tears build up in her eyes. He just shock her head. I wrapped my am around her and we walked up to her room. "Spill kid, im all ears." I said."Okay... I think Sophia's mad at for not being close in the past couple days. I just dont want to hurt her by accident..." Tara said."Tara i talked with Sophia. Shes not mad, shes upset that your upset. She doesnt want you to be scared to hug her. She is 100% ok.... Kinda. But you can do everything you've ever done. Just dont like rough house ya know?" I said."Okay Dyl... I'll try. Tonights gonna suck." Tara said."Why? Do you know whos coming for dinner?" I asked."Yes.... Ryan and his parents..." Tara said."What? Why?" I said."A nurse heard Ryan threaten Sophia in the hospital and reported it. Now our parents are gonna talk." Tara said."Everything will be okay i promise. If you need anything let me know." I said."Thanks Dyl." Tara said and hugged me.I left and went back to Sophia's room. She was standing in front of the mirror with a towel around her body and her wet brown hair laying in her bare shoulders. She was looking at her bruises and tears running down her pale cheeks. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her and placed my chin on her shoulder. I kissed her cheek and a smile came across her lips. "So i found out who's coming for dinner..." I said sadly."Who is it?" I asked."Umm.... Well its Ryan and his parents...." I said, all the color drained from Sophia's face."Dylan thats not even funny. Who is really coming?" She said looking hurt."Im not being funny Soph... Sadly im being serious. A nurse heard him threaten you at the hospital and reported it. So his parents are coming to talk to your parents, but to be nice your parents offered dinner. Dont worry i wont let anything happen." I said. Sophia turned around and smashed her lips against mine. "Promise?" She asked."Promise." I said. Sophia wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I kissed her back. I pulled her close to me by her waist. She smiled into the kiss. She started to run her fingers through my hair. I slipped my tongue into her mouth. She pushed me backwards towards her bed never breaking our kiss. Her hands moved to the bottom of my shirt and she pulled it off. She pushed me back onto the bed and started to tug at my pants. I went to pull off her towel but she stopped me."Once this towel is off, i have nothing else on. So you can strip down a little more first." She said and kissed my chest. "Okay..." I said and smiled. She came back up to my lips and pulled off my pants. I rolled us over and pulled on her towel. She let me pull off her towel this time. I kissed down her chest to her stomach and she chuckled. She was in nothing and i was in my boxers. I was giving her love bites on her neck and she was feeling my body up and down. She started to pull at my boxers when we were interrupted."WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" __________________________So im not telling you guys who it is! Sorry! Hope ya like it!
