Needs of the soul, Chapter 1  by PlaidCookie

As I lightly step up the three small stairs to the door of the white home, I see something moving from the couch through the window. Curious and out of wonder, I take two steps toward the very corner of the window just enough to see inside. I stop dead in my tracks, and my heart sinks. From what I thought would be a nice movie night with Alex at his house turned out to be the worst night of my life. Finally realizing what I was looking at, tears roll down my face. Alex and some other girl were on the coach. Kissing. I Haven't seen this girl in my entire life. A diffrent girl that wasn't me. Not me. Not me. Not me. Not me. They were watching a movie.... On our movie night. With the tears getting uncontrollable and the fear that they would notice me rising, I left. I went back down the steps the same way I went up, and walked toward the end of the street and pulled out my cell phone. I found my dad's number at the end of the contacts list and pressed the talk button and it began dialing. My father and Alex have always gotten along well considering we have been together for about 2 years. But now I was in fear of what my dad would say to the event I had just encountered. He picked up.... "Whats wrong" I didn't answer, "Amber whats wrong" Still no answer, just tears. He spoke this time louder. "Amber you need to tell me whats wrong" I finally answer balling my eyes out unable to breath. "Dad . . . . I need you to come get me now" "Okay Im already coming" I hang up. Not caring anymore. I look back towards Alex's house. And I hear quiet tinkering of voices. They were coming out of the house. He had her hand in his, and he was walking her to her car. Ahhh I think, thats who's car that is. He leans her against the car and kisses her, opens the door for her, and she plops in kissing him once more from the car seat. At that moment I beleive my heart had actually literully split in half. He stepped back and let the car pull out of the drive way. I could not beleive this was happening. Actually Happening. But then something totally incredibly unexpected happenned.... He turned around towards me, he saw me, he looked at me, he noticed me, he walked towards me his mouth agape. I was crying even worse now with my eyes hurting I turned the other way away from him and sat on the curb. He was right behind me now. "Amber".... He whispered ever so slightly. "I'm sorry so sorry" I turned my head towards him my tears flowing with fluency. "No your not, if you were serious you wouldn't have done what you had just did!!" I screamed. I cried and I cried and I cried. I didn't even care what he does right now. Because its over anyways and he should know that. Suddenly he was next to me, his arm slipped around my waist. I cried even more. I don't even think I can cry anymore. He pulled me tightly next to him and I cried into his shoulder, I didn't even know what the hell I'm doing in his embrace right now. No idea at all. At all.
