this voice is starting to take over my whole brain. I groaned.
My phone vibrated from my pocket. I slid it out and glanced at the screen. I had a text from Gavin. I checked the time it was barely 3:45 now.
[Gavin]- got out early. Be there in ten minutes.
That brightened my day a little bit. Maybe the last few hours were going to be good.
[me]- I’ll be here doors unlocked for ‘ya.
I walked to the front door and unlocked it. Out the glass panel I saw Sophia walking with Carson. She was smiling and laughing and he was grinning. This made me a little happier too. If she gets with him than I don’t have to worry anymore. I walked back to the couch.
I didn’t want to sit down, I felt kind of anxious. I walked back into the kitchen and sat on the bar stool and stared at the clock.
Ten minutes can go by extremely slow if you stare at a clock. I nearly ran to the door when it I heard a knock. Normally Gavin walks straight in if I told him the door was unlocked but maybe he didn’t get my text. I flung the door open ready to throw my arms around him. When I saw who was standing on my front porch though, I nearly flung it shut.
“Hi, you’re the Riley girl right,” Carson asked grinning.
“Yeah, and you’re the Carson kid, nice to meet you,” I said as I edged the door closer to being shut.
“Well,” Carson murmured, “uhm look my mom just wanted me to come by introduce myself.”
“Well we’ve been introduced,” I was being rude and he didn’t really deserve it. He also didn’t deserve what came next.
Gavin walked up behind him and when Carson turned around Gavin hit him in the eye.
“Gavin,” I screamed as Carson fell.
“Don’t mess with my girlfriend again,” Gavin said as he walked to my side.
Carson started to sit up and I noticed his eye was bleeding. I elbowed Gavin in his side and knelt next to Carson.
“Oh my gosh are you alright,” I said accidently touching his hand as I knelt down.
“No I’m not alright, my eye probably needs stitches!”
“Well,” I didn’t know what to do, “come inside and we’ll wipe it off and go from there.”
Carson looked at me like I was stupid. Gavin nudged me with his foot and when I looked up he was rolling his eyes.
“Don’t mess with the quarter back of the football team’s girl, you ought to know I have a strong arm,” Gavin chuckled.
“Gavin don’t be a jerk,” I started to help Carson up, “he was coming here as a favor to his mom, you didn’t need to hit him.”
“Oh so now you’re going to take up for him over me, you’re boyfriend.”
“I’m not taking up for him, you hit him because you assumed and now he’s bleeding and he could run and tell his mom and you’d get in trouble if word got to the coach,” Carson cut me off.
“If I need stitches I’m suing you.”
“And what are you going to get out of me, you already have my girlfriend,” Gavin waved his hands towards me and Carson.
“Gavin quit exaggerating!”
“Its cool chick,” Carson said as he stood up, “yes, I would love to come in.”
Gavin huffed and walked off the porch, “Text me when you decide to hang with your real boyfriend.”
I stood up to chase after him but I saw my mom pull in the driveway. Crap, she can’t see this, my outfit and two boys at my house, one all bloody. I put my face in my hands and waited as my mom jogged up to the porch.
“Riley Oliver what in the Sam heck going on,” she shouted.
“Mom just calm down.”
“Calm down, Riley there is a bloody boy on my porch I,” Carson cut her off.
“Gavin accidently elbowed me in the eye, I just moved in and my mom wanted me to come down and introduce the family while she was at work and Gavin was dropping off a book and I was walking up when he turned around.”
“Oh,” my mom said, “well come inside and we’ll check you out.” My mom opened the door and let Carson go in first and then gave me the “we’ll talk later” look. The twins hopped out of the car then and giggled all the way in the house.
Carson didn’t need stitches; my mom just put a band-aid on it and some ice. He sat and talked to my mom while the swelling in his eye went down. When the swelling was at a minimum my mom cleared him to leave. He had a large purplish ring around his eye that made him look a little cuter, if that’s not a weird thought.
“Riley take Carson home and explain to his mom what happened and give her our phone number,” my mom said while she picked up her make-shift hospital.
“Uhm mom why don’t you do it.”
“Riley,” she said raising her eyebrows.
I sighed and knew that if Madi was walking her dog or especially if Sophia saw, I would never hear the end of it.
I walked out the door behind Carson and down the driveway.
“You don’t have to walk me home you know,” Carson said as we turned on to the sidewalk.
“Uhm, yes I do or my mom will kill me for not following her instructions.”
“Well you could just give me your number and hide behind some bush for like ten minutes,” he winked.
“Don’t be surprised but I don’t trust you with my number.”
