Chapter Twenty-Four: You Broke Her!
"This is all your fault!" I said standing up and throwing my hands up in exasperation. Aldan was sitting in the pavement in the front porch of my house hanging his head making his dark hair hang over his face.
"Right, let me guess, you're feeling guilty aren't you? " I huffed, "Well you should because it is your fault. "
"My fault?" Aldan asked in disbelief raising his head to look at me, "This was all your fault. The food fight, the mess, everything!"
"Everything? " I asked confused.
His jaw clenched as he mumbled, "Everything."
We were sitting outside of my house while our two mothers were inside. It was awkward because they chased us outside and went inside leaving us alone. It was starting to get dark.
I scoffed turning around to look at him, "Excuse me? Everything? No, you know what! You act so much like a girl Aldan and if you were one you'd probably be on Mandy's squad too!"
He stood up, his green eyes darkened, "You have no idea what you do to me."
Is it me or this isn't about the fight we had in the house anymore?
I frowned, "What are you talking about?"
He clenched his jaw again moving closer to me, "You're so stupid sometimes you know, you have idea what's happening and that just makes you the dumbest person ever."
I scoffed shaking my head in confusion, "Dude, what are you talking about? "
He shook his head and walked past me bumping me shoulder as he did.
"Um ow! " I said turning around to look at his back walking away, "Where are you going? "
He remained silent.
"Aldan! Where are you going? " I asked again only for him to answer me with silence again.
I sighed and followed behind him. I could tell that from his back, he was kind of mad. Though I had no idea why. I had no idea what he meant by saying everything was my fault. Deep down, I felt as if he wasn't talking about our little fight. But I had to belive in something.
He walked down our street, yes our, his house was just around the corner. In fact, it was the third house from mine. Me, thinking that he was going to turn into his house, I stopped when he kept walking leaving me confused. He walked right passed his house and towards the bus stop.
"Hello? " I asked.
He stopped and turned towards me, "Why are you following me? "
"Well I.. I'm not following.. Okay I am, " I added looking around awkwardly.
"Go back home Page. I don't need you to follow me like some baby sitter," he said narrowing his eyes at me.
"Well I can't let you wonder off alone."
He scoffed, "I'm not a baby. I know where I wanna go. "
"Than where are you going? " I asked getting annoyed.
"None of your business, " he stated turning around and walking again.
"Fine! Then I'm following you, " I said following behind him.
He didn't say anything, he just scoffed and put his hands in his pockets and continued walking. We both passed by our nearest bus stop and walked towards the park.
He stopped and turned back to look at me.
"What? " I asked raising my eyebrows.
He lifted his hand motioning towards the park. "This is where the kids get dropped off. "
I narrowed my eyes and looked at him, "What do I look like to you? A kid? "
"Wow, I thought was gonna break it to you. "
"What the hell is wrong with you? I'm following you because I actually care about where you're going! It could be dangerous! "
"Oh and what? You're gonna protect me? Page you wouldn't protect shit," he said arguing.
"I'm just saying-"
"Just go. "
I furrowed my eyebrows, "What? "
"Just go back home. It's getting dark and your mom is gonna look for you," he stated walking into the gates of the park.
Well, he wanted to go to the park after all.
I stood outside the park and yelled after him, "Wow, so dramatic! Did you rehearse that? "
He didn't say anything, but he made his way towards the swing set and took a seat.
I sighed checking the time on my phone seeing that it was six in the afternoon than I walked in after him.
Great, I'm like a lost puppy.
I took the other swing beside him and sat down. The both of us silently sat hearing nothing but the hinges of the old swing set hinge. The wind was chilly and the sun was halfway gone.
"I'm sorry," I mumbled and looked at my lap.
He turned around looked at me, "For what?"
I shrugged, "Everything. "
He sighed smiling a little, "It's okay."
I looker up and held his gaze returning his smile, "I was always the one who apologized whenever we fought. You were such a girl, you still are."
He smirked shaking his head, "Nah, I just liked seeing you feel bad for things. "
"Smooth move," I chuckled.
The silence fell over the two of us again and we both sat there looking at the sun that was already gone.
Finally, I broke the awkward silence between us.
"This swing set is pretty old huh? It's been here since we were kids. "
He didn't respond to that, instead he just kicked back and started swinging himself back and forth. I looked up at him to see that he was already swinging back and forth on the swing. He smirked and kicked back again making himself go higher.
I gave a small smile and then kicked off my swing too. Before I knew it, we were both swinging back and forth. Flying back and forth just like when we were kids.
"You still suck, " he stated while swinging, "I always beat you at this. "
I laughed a little, "Oh really? "
I pushed off from the ground and flew myself back and forth. It's been so long since I did this. He laughed and shook his head telling me that I still wasn't good enough.
"Are you challanging me? " I laughed asking him.
"With you, it wouldn't even be a challange for me. You know you still suck just like before," he smirked flying his swing back and forth.
"Well then, let the challange began. " I simply stated before flying my swing backwards and the forwards again. The swing set hinged but we didn't bother.
Aldan laughed at me and then pushed off the ground as I watched him soar into the air like a bird. He flew upwards and then came back down.
"How are you doing that? " I asked and he chuckled shaking his head.
"I'm not telling. "
"Well, can you do this, " I laughed and stood up in the swing.
"Woah Page, be careful dumb ass, " he said his face growing serious.
I laughed, "Scardy cat! "
He gave me a bored expression, "Funny. "
"You can't even do it can you? " I asked standing on my swings seat and swung myself. My swing moved swiftly but went faster.
"Page be careful, " he said motioning for me to slow down.
I chuckled, "Awe, you care? "
"No I don't, I was talking about the swing. You might break it, " he rolled his eyes.
I looked at him and gave him a bored expression, "Idiot. "
He burst out laughing but kept sitting on his seat and swung. His swing flew up and down exchanging with mine flying past his. He gazed up at me and shook his head.
"You should stand up, it's even more fun." I said chuckling.
I felt like I was kid again. When Aldan and I didn't suddenly become enemies.
"I don't wanna die thanks, " he stated watching me like a hawk.
"Your loss, " I said and then pushed again kicking my swing into full speed.
"Page watch out! " I heard Aldan yell.
I flew back and forth so fast I didn't even notice that my swing wasn't connected to the post that held it anymore. My eyes widened as I flew and fell right on the lawn.
Thank God it wasn't the pavement or my face would be a mashed potato.
I fell right on the lawn and hit my face.
I heard Aldan cuss as he stopped his swing and came towards me. Running towards me like he was going to die today. When I landed, I scrapped my elbows, both my knees and the right side of my face while the swing flew to the other side beside me.
I saw Aldan run in my direction, just as I wanted to tell him that I was okay, his direction changed as he ran towards the swing that was on the lawn beside me.
"Oh my god, are you okay? " he picked it up and turned it over examining it.
My jaw dropped and I looked at him, "Are you kidding me? "
He turned to look at me while the swing was pressed against his chest, in the midst of hugging the broken swing.
"You broke her! " he stated like a baby.
"Hello! I'm the human here! " I said extending my arms apart.
"So? "
"Jesus! Forget it! " I tried getting up but failed and then landed on my ass.
He busted out laughing and then put the broken swing set gently back down and walked on his knees towards me.
"You're an idiot, " he mumbled looking down at me laying down on the wet lawn.
"I can stand, just help me up. " I stated looking grim.
"You can't Pagey, you scrapped your knees."
I rolled my eyes, "Exactly, it's a scratch no big deal."
He shrugged and sighed, "Okay then."
He held my hands and helped me stand only for me to wince and fall back down.
"Okay.. Maybe it's not just a scratch. " I said awkwardly.
"Like I said, you're an idiot, " he mumbled again and bent down to pick me up like a piece of paper carrying me bridal style.
I laced my hands around his neck and looked at him when he smirked. "You do know that I can easily strangle you, don't test me."
He rolled his eyes, "And then I'll drop you and leave you here to die. "
"Fair enough. Now shut up and start walking! "
He sighed locking his gaze on me, "I'm still mad at you for breaking that swing. "
"Aldan."
"Fine. "
I smiled as he begun walking out the park gate.
I announced pointing forward, "On core! To the house young Pirate! " I chuckled at myself and then laced back my hand around his neck.
"Page? "
"Yeah? "
"Shut up."
