• Chapter 3: Love's Stupid
    The next morning I was the first one awake. The clock was ticking, but besides that it seemed the whole house was empty. Until I heard Mark's big feet coming down the stairs. "Oh! Good morning sunshine! How'ed you sleep," Mark said walking into the kitchen. "Not in the mood Mark, go away," "Liam's fine you can stop worrying, ok," I turned to face him and tell him how annoying he was. He was closer than I thought . Are lips were barly touching when I turned around. Mark jumped back and said, "I'm sorry! Riley!?" I couldn't answer him. I was choking on my own words. "Whatever!" I said running upstairs. Mark fallowed, but didn't make it in time before I closed my door. I tryed counting to ten. It didn't work. I could still feel the touch of his lips on mine for that tiny second. "Riley!? OPEN THE DOOR!!! RILEY!" I tryed my best to ignore Mark. "Go away! Mark...," I stopped and started to cry. I could hear Mark picking the lock.When he finaly got it open I looked up at him and cryed even more.
    I have no clue why I was crying I just was!? "Riley? Why are you crying? I didn't meen to...kiss you or anything! I'm sorry," I sighed and let my head fall down on his arm. "I'm crying cause...well, I realy don't know," I said. He started to laugh a little then his laughter turned his face red. "What's so funny," "YOU! HA,you..." He stopped to breath. "You are funny! Cause...Ha ha ha! Your'e a little cry baby," I frowned and tryed to hold back the tears. "MARK! YOU ARE THE BIGGEST JERK IN THE WHOLE WORLD! I...I HATE YOU," I punched his chest, but it didn't do any thing.
    The tears poured out like a water fall and I did something to get Mark to shut up. I fell over into his lap and tryed to push him out of my room. He gently grabbed my arms and pulled me towards him. "Sorry...," Mark wispered. He sat there cradling me for at least an hour. I sighed and soon fell asleep into my brother's arms.
