Lucy learns Love
I never wished to be with anyone. All that change when I met the boy of my dreams. Matt furrow, the cutest bad boy in the whole school, never dated. I should be so lucky. he was great at everything. Sports, grade, funny, cute, everything a girl could want. Problem was when ever a girl asked him out he says rejects them. Why would I be different?
As I walked to history class all the students started running towards the gym. Cruoris, I went through the gym to see what was up. Once I got there, I thought someone is going to die today. Molly was get pushed around again. Sarah Point was the meanest girl in school. She acted all nice, but once she started on someone, she never let it go. She had a habit of picking me and my friends out of the crowd.
"Maybe u should quit school," Sarah was saying. " You never do anything, ur grades are down, and ur parents cant get control of their bills." Her gang of guys were watching from the side of the gym, waiting for her to finish her work.
"Well, Sarah, have u ever had bills to pay? they help build up the work ethic," I said, holding Molly's hand helping her up. everyone was either in the gym, or by the gym door. "You've never had to work for anything in ur life. your so good that ur rich, pathitic parents pay for everything you want, and have." There, how's that for fact of truth? if i had a cramra, i would have taken a picture of Sarah's face. The fury on her face was a grand sight. Sarah was beyond pissed though.
"Hardly har har. Lucy Mcgrow. You never leave do you? i thought you would have left the living after your mom died." That stung. Alot. My mom had died just a few days ago. I didnt think i would get over it, but i came to school to show i was strong. Now i just wanted to cry.
"leave my mom alone. She was proud i never became a bully b***h like you, Sarah." i turned and, with molly at my side, we were going to leave to gym, but Sarah have anger problems, grab my arm and hit me in the face. i fell tasting blood on my lip. then i hear a yelp and looked up to see Matt furrow holding Sarah's arm from grabbing my hair. his face was like one of those really calm guys smiling before they killed you. He pushed her away from me and molly who was kneeling beside me.
"Should you ever touch her again, or anyone again Sarah, you will not enjoy the out come," he snarled. Every one could see the true terror on Sarah face. the only reason she was scared because she was trying to charm matt since freshmen year. If this was what matt was like when he was mad, i dont want to see him when he's furious. But why was he so angry? What made him snap like that? Whatever happened, my mind was on that fact, i could see Sarah and her guys paling when the vice princable called them to meet her in the office. oh boy. Their bustded. Now that i could think clearly, I was awear that molly had a napkin to my mouth. Matt turned to me, and, OH GOD, he had the most beautiful blue eyes ever.
As soon as sarah was gone, he held out his hand for me. I took it, and got up, but i wasnt feeling to great. i was feeling pretty dizzy. Molly's cell phone rang. " I'll be right back," she called on her way out the doors to a gym. I started walking towards the doors, but my dizzyness was bad. Matt caught me when i started to fall.
"Whoa," he said. " Maybe you should take it easy. she hit u pretty hard huh?". He was the cutest boy alive, and i swear my heart died when he smiled.
" why did you come out like that?" i asked him. " U never talk to anyone, u dont have any friends, u never seem to care about anything. so why do you come out now?"
"Truth is i cant stand seeing a girl get hurt. My dad uaed to hit my mom before he died." He said this like he was proud his dad was dead. That brought back up that comment Sarah said about my mom. I felt a tear on my cheek. God i missed her.
matt looked at me. I could see in his eyes that he was worried. " hey," he said. "that comment she said about ur mom- it not true. she stepped way out of line." He put his hand on my sholder. i pushed him off, and started walking towards class. I could hear him following me, and i love'd it.
"thx for ur help, matt. take care," i told him. i opened my locker and found i letter.
Dear Lucy,
i think ur pretty cool. ur a great student, and Molly thinks ur a great person. i think so too. you are proably wondering why i wrote this letter knowing i dont date anyone. i never date anyone cause i was waiting to ask you out. would you mind have lunch with me? them maybe go to a movie later? Call me. My nubers on the bac.
-Matt Furrow heart
At frist i thought it was a joke. then i truned to ask matt, but he was out of the hall. i would never have thought that Matt would like me. Iam no Sarah, the pretty, good grade cheerleader. But he likes me, so why not say yes?
Hours later
I was laughting so hard i though i would die from it. Matt had taken me to lunch, then the movies. the movies was great. but i coulnt help thinking about something. would he kiss me? or would he not ask me out again? i was really get worried. Matt walked me up to my house down the street from school.
"thx for the date. i had alot of fun," i told him. He smiled and lifted his hand and looked into my eyes forever. as his face got closer to mine, my heart kepy beating faster. his lips presed to mine and i swear i died right there. He deepened the kiss and my heart stop again. when he lifted his face i was having trouble breathing.
" i really llike you lucy. I want you to be my girlfriend. Please?" he asked. I looked at him again, then i smiled.
" i would like nothing more," i told him. i kissed him again, then wished him good night. as i sat on my bed, i thought, mom, i know you would be proud.
i thought the thing between me and Matt was perfect. Turns out i was wrong.
This is the second time Sarah had confronted me about Matt. i thought about walking away, but she wouldnt leave me alone.
" Matt would never like you. I bet one week and he'll tell you to kiss off. Guys like him dont stay with guys like you," Sarah said.
" well, clearly, he likes me better then you. Otherwise you wouldnt be jealous about it," i told her. " why do you think he stood up for me last week? i know i dont like the wat you act. He doesnt either from the looks of it." i looked her dead in the eye thinking I could kill her with lazor eyes. If I had any. lol
sarah didnt look happy over what i said. "Stay away from him. He's mine."
" I should be telling you that. I"AM his girlfriend because he likes me. You cant own him. He doesnt want to be around you. And the way you act, i wouldnt either." that was the last thing i said before i turned and walked to history. Other then that fight over matt, my day had been pretty good. that night was my date with matt. Again. We had gone on sevral dates since Sarah hit me at school. This was the best. Once the movie was over Matt and i were still arguing over who was the best character.
Matt laughed and the sound spred like water over my skin. " How about going to the fair downtown? i hear there's dacning," he said raising his eyebrows. i giggled and i thought I was a little too girly. But hey, iam on a date. Who can blame me? Matt"s car was the best i had ever seen. It drove smooth as wind, and fast like lighting, had the best paint job of blue with red flames, and the radio had the best music ever. Matt parked the car and started humming the most popoular love song that had just been on the radio. He helped me from the car, and we went to see the fair stores. One store had cute little dolls made from hay and cloth. i pick one up, dropped my voice and talked to him as the doll. He laughed again. We went by some stores with toys, somewith shoes( who selld shoes at a town fair??) and one stores had hand made necklesses all inder ten dollars. i looked around, and stopped to look at a start diamond with a blue sapphire in the middle hanging from a small sliver chain. i picked it up and held it to my throat. I loved it. It was fifthteen dollars. When i asked why the clerk said the price was higher cause the jewels were made by hand. It was to much. Matt asked why i didnt get when i put it down.
" Its way too much. I cant have something so pretty and not ruin it." Matt didnt like the last bit of my answer. I know it looks so good on me, but i couldnt get it. Matt took me to the faris wheel. Matt tugged me to get in line, but i stepped back quickly.
" What's wrong?" he asked. i felt like i was going t be sick. i hated hights. And i have a very good reason to. that how mom died. When her car and gone off the road, the car rolled over, and off the cliff. i sallowed my fear remembering. How could i make him understand?
"Its not you matt. Its just that..." i looked away as i said the rest. "My mom's car fell over the cliff when she died. i cant be in the car without being scared. I cant stand hights either. Its why coach said i dont have to do the rope in gym." After i finished, he was nodding his head in understanding. Oh God how did i get him? He was perfect.
"Its ok, Lucy. We dont have to go on the faris wheel. i wouldnt do that to you." He bent his head to the side in thought. "Wait here," he said. he ran back toward the stores while i sat on the bench. Matt came back with a bag from the jewelers store.
"whats in the bag?" i aked him. he smiled his sexy smile at me then showed me what he got. I felt every breath leave my body. He had bought me the neckless with the star dimaiod. i stared at him with water on my eyes. "Matt...i dont know what to say." he turned me around and put the neckless on me.
"Dont say anything then."
he took my hand and lead me to a bench and we sat whille the fire works started. I sat there in his arms thinking how could my world be any better? My llife was perfect. Or it was until Sarah came up behind me and dumped water on my head. Matt sat up with me, and i started coughing.
'What the hell sarah? what r u doing?" he siad. He rubbed my back while i wipped the water from my eyes. Sarah came, took matts arm and pulled him toward the rides. One of her pals put a cloth around my mouth while another tied my hands. then they picked me up and started walking somewhere. i tried to scream but the cloth pervented that. i could see where i was now. I was on a faris wheel. I knew the fair had two of them, but one was broken. a girl from sarah's gang smiled and told a boy to put me in.
"we overheard how you hate hights. well, Sarah hates you for stealing Matt. Once he yells at her, and looks for you, you wont be around. Have fun up there, a**."
The faris wheel started and next thing i knew, i was stuck up higher then the ground. sights of mom and me in the car started flowing through my head. I couldnt think past the fear sucking the life out of me. Somewhere in the distance i hear Matt calling my name. i tried to call out to him, but i couldnt make a sound. i heard sarah scream. what was going on? But more importantly how an i going to get down? my hands were tied, i had a cloth around my mouth, and i was scraed shitless. i closed my eyes and screamed dispite the cloth at my mouths. tears had started down my cheek now, and i was crying non-stopped. i screamed again then everything went black.
I woke up in a hopital. my dad was sitting in chair in the cornoer, and matt sat next to my bed. My head hurt and i didnt remember much. What had happened?
"Matt..?" i whispered. Matts head snapped up, and i saw dark marks under his eyes. My dad got up and cam to sit on my other side.
"Lucy. How do u feel?" matt asked. My dad was crying i could see. I loved my dad because he would always take best care of me. Always. Then i looked at Matt and i saw love shine in his beautiful blue eyes that i loved. "Lucy, u remember last night?" i nodded. "ok. let me tell you, Sarah's parents are here. they want to see how your doing."
what sarah did scared the hell out of me. I never wanted to see her again. My dad spoke up. "I'll tell the nurse she's awake." Once my dad left, i said to Matt, "i was scared beyoond scared."
Matt sqeezed my hand. "I know. iam so sorry you had to go throught it."
i nodded again/ "I couldnt think. i saw mom again, and the car...oh my god." i started crying again. matt didnt say anyhting. he got up, and moved onto the bed and pulled me to his side.
" shhh. dont worry. your okay. oh god Lucy, iam so sorry." Matt held me and missed my hair. we sat there like that for a long time. when i face had dried up, his cupped my face and kissed me. I kissed him back because i needed his comfort. Sarahs parents came to see me later, and told me that Sarah was grounded and they took away he car, computer, and she's not to leave her house for anything bur school. No cheerleading either. I met Sarah's little sister Mary too. mary brought me flowers with a hug too. Mary and i became friend that night. after everyone had left, and me and matt were sitting in each other arms again, He told me he loved me. I told him i loved him too.
I loved feeling cared for, and held by my boyfriend. Matt and me had graduation in a few months. Then i could be rid of Sarah. And i could be with matt for as long as i want.
five years from now
Back in highschool, when i said i could be with my love for as long as i want...turned out that Matt and i loved eachother deeply. cause we got married, had kids, even grankids. i truely loved my life.
