The story of my life.

Addison's POV

As Dustin carried my broken door out of my room, Kyle looked at me with kind eyes.
"If Heath ever gives you anymore trouble, you tell me. I'll take care of it OK? I don't want him to hurt you." Kyle said gently stroking my hair.

I nodded, still unable to speak.

Dustin came back in the room "I'll fix your door later. Sorry I broke it, but I'm not sorry I did it." He said looking me dead in the eye.

"I'm not either." it came out a quiet squeak.

"I'm just glad Dustin and I were here" Kyle says.

I nod in agreement.

"Oh, what are we gonna tell mom?" Dustin asks. I saw a flash of panic in his eyes.

"Just tell her we were messing around and someone fell into it." Kyle suggested. "Unless, you want to tell her the truth."

I frantically shook my head no.

"She wouldn't believe us." Dustin said. "She just thinks were lying to get out of trouble."

"She thinks you'd lie about rape?" Kyle asks

I cringed at the word... rape.... God.

"Oh, sorry, Addison. About.... that."

"Yeah. She really thinks I'd lie about... that... happening to my little sister, just to save my own ass." He says shaking his head.

I looked at my bed side clock '11:32pm'

"We should really get to sleep..." I said. "Could you guys sleep in here tonight? I'd feel a lot safer."

They looked at each other "Yeah. Of course we will." Dustin says.

Dustin and Kyle made beds on the floor, while I brushed my teeth, and washed my face.
I flipped the light switch, and climbed into bed.

"Dustin?" I asked.

"Yeah, Addi?"

I loved it when he calked me that. Even though we're not actually brother and sister, we're all we've got.

"Do you think he'll come back?"

"If he does, I'll kill him." He says.

"Ok. But what if-"

Kyle cut me off "Addison, if he comes back, we'll be here. Ready to fight for you."

I smiled to myself "Thanks.."

I guess you could say I've always had a little bit of a crush on Kyle, but not a huge crush. Like, I don't mentally name our kids, or plan our wedding or anything like that. Save that for One Direction. But seriously, I'm not that into him. Him and Dustin have been friends for as long as I can remember. He was always at our house. When we were little, he kissed me while we were sitting in the willow tree in my backyard. He was my first real kiss. But now, I'm seventeen and he's nineteen. I doubt he still has feelings for me.

I looked at my clock again '2:08am'. Sweet Jesus! I cannot get to sleep!

"Kyle," I whispered "Kyle!" I whispered/yelled again.

"Hm?" He groaned.

"Can you come lay with me? I can't sleep." I felt like a child.

"Sure." he said, standing up, and walking over to my bed.

I scooted over to let him lay down. When he did, I cuddeled into his chest, and he wrapped his strong arms around me.

"Addison?" he whispered

"Yeah?"
"I don't know if you remember, but, when we were little, we were like in love." he sighed.

I laughed a little "Yeah, I remember."

"We were always together. We were so close....... and I don't know if you know this but, you were my first kiss."

I looked up at him. his blue eyes meet mine. "You were mine too." I whispered.

"Really?"

"Really. And I think about that day, when we kissed up in the willow, all the time." I said as we inched closer.

"I do too." he said almost breathless.

Our lips touched, and it was like a huge weight lifted from me.

We pulled apart, and I snuggled into him again.

am I in love? I asked myself there's no way.
********
I woke up to an empty bed, and an empty room. I could hear the sounds of silverware hitting dishes.

I climbed out of bed, and trudged to the kitchen. At the table, sat Kyle, and Dustin, so I sat down too.

"Morning, sleeping beauty." Dustin kissed my head.

"Morning." I said, my voice still groggy.

"Would you like some Lucky Charms?" Kyle asks.

"Sure." I smiled.

Niall's lucky charms. Hehe!

After I finished my cereal, I pulled out my phone and texted my friend Vanessah, who I was going out with that night.

To: Vanessah:

within seconds, I got a reply

From: Vanessah

To: Vanessah:
