Reincarnate

The next several days went without incident. My dad didn't really bother me besides the occasional comments. My mom was seen very little throughout the week. I talked to Alan everyday over the phone since that night. Austin would often text me throughout the day when I wasn't at school, just making sure I was okay. And Chris...Chris was dream like. After the incident, he would meet me outside my house and walk me to school and then after school, we would stay with Austin until he left for home, then he would drive me the short distance home. There was no doubting of course, I was really crushing on Chris. Just that warm feeling inside when he talks to you or looks at you, you stare into his beautiful eyes and immediately just melt into them. Just being close to him sent shivers down my spine. Every touch...my body would tingle.

The pain from the fall slowly started to die down. It was minimal to occasional headaches and spasms of pain. But like Alan said, the medication from anywhere would help. But the bruise was still noticeable.

I was laying on my bed, flipping through channels trying to find something to watch. I was just happy it was Friday night. I laid back just as my phone started to.ring. I picked it up and my heart fluttered when I saw Chris's name. Without hesitation I answered.

"Hello?" I smiled.

"Hey Kadey, how about we go see a movie? Just the two of us" He said. I giggled and sat up, crossing my legs.

"Like a date?" I asked, hope filling my voice. I heard him chuckle.

"Come outside and we'll see" He laughed.

"Outside...???" I trialled off as I got up from my bed and padded towards my window. I glanced out and sure enough, he was leaning against his black Mercedes. I hung up and opened my window. He smiled and waved at me.

"Come on down Kade Masters. Have some fun for once"

"Be right down!" I giggled before closing the window. I sat down and pulled on my black converse before grabbing my jacket. I slid my phone in my pocket and quietly opened my door. I crept down the hallway and quickly, but quietly, walked down the stairs. I stumbled around in the dark before finding and opening the door. I quietly closed it and ran over to Chris. He opened his arms as I jumped up. He caught me easily. I slid my arms around his neck and hugged him rightly. I smiled and blushed a deep red as he planted a kiss on my head.

"Glad to see you smiling Kadey. Come on" He put me down and opened my door. "Such a gentleman" I chuckled as I slid in.

"Always" Chris closed my door and walked briskly to the other side. He got in and put the key in the ignition. I noticed he wore a red silk dress shirt. The sleeves were rolled up and I saw that he had many tattoos. He wore black skinny jeans and black.boots. I bit my lip because he looked so damn delicious. He pulled out my driveway and drove down the street.

"What movie are we seeing?" I asked curiously as he drove. He smiled and kept his eyes on the road.

"What's a Friday night without a Horror film?" He chuckled and made a left and driving into town. I echoed his laughter.

"Only if I get lots of candy will I watch it" I bargained with him. He rolled his eyes and smiled, looking at me.

"Deal".

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chris kept his promise. He bought me all the candy I asked for. And I seemed like a little piggy as he called me. We we're currently sitting in the theater , watching as the movie started.
About halfway through the movie, I was shaking as I ate my candy, this scene was so scary but I couldn't move my eyes from the screen. My mouth hung open as the woman on the screen had her head pulled back and her throat slit by the masked man behind her. I cringed and hid into Chris's chest. I heard him chuckle and I felt his hand rubbing my back, trying to soothe me but I only felt electrified. It was like drunk butterflies in my stomach.

After the movie, Chris and I walked close together back to his car.

"How was the movie, piggy?" He asked, opening my door. Turns out it was horrible.

"A waste of production money" I commented, getting in the car. I waited until he was in the car to continue speaking.

"The ending was so cliche and cheesy" He laughed at my comment and pulled out the parking lot. We drove in silence until I noticed he stopped the car. It was dark out so I couldn't really see anything. I panicked slightly as he got out. I followed in pursuit.

"Where are we going?" I questioned, grabbing his hand. He smiled and pointed to a trail, leading into the woods.

"You're crazy if you think I'm going in there" I looked at him. He only smiled wider.

"Come on, it will be fun Kadey" He started to pull me but I protested more.

"What if we get attacked?"

"I won't let anything hurt you Kade" He turned and looked in my eyes before speaking. "Do you trust me?" He asked me seriously. I bit my lip and nodded a yes. He smiled.

"Come on" He pulled me onto the trail and I gripped his hand tighter. I looked up at the moon and it was shining beautifully in the sky.

"How come you don't like your father Kade?" He asked suddenly, catching me off guard. I shrugged and sighed.

"Ever since I could remember, he's treated me so badly. All he does is drink. Ever since I was born, my mom told me he drank every day and night. As I grew older, he started to abuse me. It started out as little hits now and then. But it started to get worse. It drove my mom out the house. So basically I took all the damage while she is at work. He hates me because I'm gay most of all" I sighed and Chris nodded. We walked slowly along the path. I continued. "Over the years, he's basically beaten the emotion out of me. Now a days I just lay there and take it. Not really caring. He's the reason why I keep to myself. If my own parents don't care about. Then who would. The only person I ever cared about was Austin. Ever since freshmen year. Now as a senior. I've gained two new friends to care about" I smiled up at Chris and he smiled sweetly back at me. He laced our fingers as he began to speak.

"You won't be alone anymore Kade. You have us now." He leaned in and kissed my forehead.

He then led me to a white painted wooden bridge that was illuminated by lanterns sitting on each corner. I smiled and ran to the middle. I looked over the edge and watched the water flow down the stream, hitting the occasional boulder. Chris.came up behind me and leaned down to whisper in my ear.

"Look up Kade" I could feel his cool breath travel down my neck, making me shiver. I looked up and gasped. There was this gigantic water fall a few hundred yards away. The water was glistening as the light bounced off of it, coming from the moon. It looked so beautiful I couldn't help but stare. Chris then snaked his arms around my waist, pulling me tight against him. I let my hands rub his tattooed arms. This moment was so perfect...so right. I never wanted it to end. I felt Chris nuzzle into my neck. I smiled and brought my hand up to his hair, letting my fingers softly comb through it. We stood there in comfortable silence, just listening to the water falling. For once in my life, I was happy. I felt total bliss. It was alien to me but I welcomed it. And I had this feeling...that Chris was special. Like he was...more. It was hard to explain but I knew he was different. And I knew..that I was safe with him.

I soon felt his hands on my sides, slowly turning me around. I chuckled and turned completely. His face was just inches from mine. My eyes flicked from his eyes down to his lips. They looked soft and perfect. My mouth open slightly as I let out a shaky breath. He leaned in just a little closer, making my heart literally jump out of my chest. His eyes never left mine. They were full of adoration. I couldn't take it. Before I could think, I spoke.

"Kiss me Chris" I whispered, my eyes going back to his lips. Without hesitation, his hands cupped my face and he connected our lips. My body exploded with warmth. His lips were soft...so perfect. I've been kissed...but never liked this. He knew what he was doing. Our lips moved in easy sync. Our lips parted slightly and I felt his tongue brush against my lips. I granted him entry and a moan slipped past my lips as his soft warm tongue brush up against mine. His hands dropped to my waist, gripping if. My arms slid around his neck as I pushed myself into him, needing to be closer. I couldn't have enough of him. My heart felt like it would beat out my chest.

We pulled apart from each other. I was breathing heavily as he pressed his forehead up against mine. His arms wrapped around my waist and we smiled at each other. Neither of us spoke. Words were not needed. But he broke the silence soon.

"Come on..let's get you home" He smiled, lifting his forehead off mine. I pouted and shook my head. He laughed and held me closer.

"It's late piggy and I know you're tired". He was right, I was tired. But I didn't wanna leave him.

"I don't wanna leave you" I whined. He laughed and held me close as he led me off the bridge.

"You'll see me tomorrow piggy, don't worry. I'll spend the day with you" I looked at him.

"You promise?" I asked him and he nodded, flashing me a brilliant smile. I then sighed and let him pull me to the car. We walked in comfortable silence before reaching the car. As usual, he opened my door for me first and I slid in. He was soon in his seat, starting the engine. Driving down the road, his phone started to ring.

"Hey Rick"He smiled. And whatever the person was saying on the end, making his smile disappear. I frowned a little, wondering what was happening.

"Are you sure?"He finally said and nodded, hanging up. The car pulled up in front of my house. I looked over at him. He was staring at basically nothing. He had a very worried expression on his face. I wanted to know why but I decided not to bother him. I leaned over and kissed his cheek before getting out.

"Thank you Chris" He looked to me, his eyes filled with even more worry.

"If you don't see me tomorrow, call Austin...and he'll explain everything to you"He said lowly. I nodded and he pulled off. I walked back to my house, puzzled and slightly scared. I walked into my house quietly, before going upstairs and laying on my bed. I was extremely worried about Chris. I tried to think of every possibility in my mind of why I wouldn't see him tomorrow. I thought about calling Austin now but I didn't want to disobey Chris. So I decided to try and sleep.
I was restless that night.
