for the first time
chapter 21
Kameron’s
POV:
I laid in bed that night
unable to sleep. Images of Avery in that house all
alone, hiding in a corner watching her aunt get
slapped around played through my mind. That poor
little girl.
After a while, I couldn't stand it anymore. I got
up and glanced at the clock.
2:30 am.
I tip toed down the hallway and pushed open my
brothers door.
"Jake. Wake up." I loudly whispered.
"Whaaaaaa....hmmmm" He mumbled.
"C'mon. Get up." I said walking over to
the bed and pulling off his blankets.
"Why? It's only 2 am, dammit." He
grumbled.
"Just get up! I need you to come with
me."
"Fine." He said sitting up. He pushed me
out of the way and walked over to his closet to slip
on a shirt and shoes.
"Let's go." He said sleepily.
We sauntered out to the car and when we got in Jake
looked at me and said, "Where are you taking
me?"
"To get fat. I need some junk food and a trip to
the lake to get my mind off things." I
whispered.
"And I have to come because....?"
"I needed someone to talk to. And Kendall has
a strong opinion about this...topic...so I
needed you."
"Ugh, girl problems?"
"No, not really. Just life problems."
"Kay fine. But we better be going
to Wendy's. I really want a frosty."
I smiled and pulled out of the driveway.
Jake turned on the radio and after a few silent
minutes, we pulled into the parking lot
for Wendy's.
We ordered four frosties, three fries, and two
burgers.
"Your total will be 15.76 at the next window.
Thank you." The young guy said.
Jake handed me a few bucks and I smiled at him then
gathered the rest of the money from my wallet.
I pulled up to the window and waited for the boy
to turn and collect my money.
When he did, my heart stopped.
"Okay, your total was-" he cut off.
"Andrew?" I said incrediously.
"Um, hi. 15.76 is your total." He said
sheepisly.
"Oh uh right." I said handing him the
money.
He printed my recipt and counted out my change in
silence.
"Here
you go, ma'am." he said handing them to
me.
"Umm...thanks." I said quietly. "I
didn't know you worked here."
"I know. Nobody really does." He
whispered.
He looked at me, with those big blue eyes, in
silence for a moment.
"I won't tell anyone. I promise. And my
brother won't either." I quickly said.
He smiled, "Than you. I wanted to talk to
you...about...today. Are you free tomorrow?"
"No. I'm expensive."
He chuckled, "That's okay, I get paid today.
Pick you up at noon?"
"Sure, that sounds good." I smiled at
him.
"Alright. Have a nice night. Don't get too
fat."
I laughed, "Later Andrew."
I pulled forward to get the food, then pulled
into a parking space. I turned to look at
my brother and he started cracking up.
"Jake!" I yelled, slapping him.
"I won't tell anyone. I swear. But come on.
Don't you find it funny? The star football player
works the night shift at Wendy's.
Hahaha!"
I shook my head. "Theres a lot about Mr. Popular
that you don't know."
"Oh and you do?" He said, still
laughing.
I looked back at the drive-through.
"I'm starting to find out" I
whispered.
