Chapter 1 - Couldn't live without him

I run down the empty hallways, making left turns and right turns until I find my way to the staircase at the back of the school, that practically nobody ever uses. I 'plop' down on the steps and begin to cry...I no longer have to hold it in because nobody is around to see.

 

A few minutes go by, and the tears are 'pouring' down my face and landing on the sleeves of my shirt. I didn't hear the footsteps approaching but suddenly I'm pulled in from behind and his voice whispers in my ear "it's going to be ok" as he strokes my hair away from my face.

 

I don't speak a word, neither does he... mutual silence fills the air. He kisses me lightly on my forehead and I lay my head against his chest and listen to his heartbeat, I feel safe and content in his warm embrace. 

He pulls me to my feet, seeing goosebumps on my arms he automatically takes his jacket off and puts it on me and hugs me. Then, the bell rings for class to end and people 'pour' into the halls as they shuffle to their next class. Steven pulls my arm and walks me to class, " I'll see you after class Katie". I nod my head in agreement and watch him walk away to government. I sigh and go into study hall and take my seat, study hall is one of those classes that seem to drag on no matter what day it is, especially when you have it as the last class of the day.

The bell rang for seniors to be dismissed, Steven was waiting at the end of the hallway for me like he was everyday. Seeing him almost immediately, i quickened my pace and hugged him as if i hadn't seen him all week. "How you doing? he asked, my silence answered his question "that bad,huh?", i nodded and sighed. He wrapped his arm around my waist and walked me to my bus, as my bus pulled up, Steven hugged me once more and whispered "love you", "love you too" i answered. 

On the bus I took my usual seat in the very back with Carrie. "hey, who's that guy you were just with?" she asked me. "Steven", I replied. "Is he your boyfriend?", I shook my head and laughed "no way! he's my cousin!", "oh, well.. it looks like he really cares about you". "yeah, I couldn't live without him", I answered.
