His Broken girl

chapter 12

Terry

After signing the contract for Jules and her mums new homes,I made my way to school. Jules was Just walking in the gates when I pulled up. I wish I could just walk up and kiss her. dammit! I have to let her know who I am soon. But how? The whole day I pretended to pay attention in class, but instead I was too distracted by one, how beautiful she looks today and two, how am I going to get her to meet my parents?

when I got home the house was silent once more. nothing out of the ordinary. the only difference, the boxes starting to stack dangerously high. Staff were packing up all our antiques.

turning on my heels with a sigh I grab my bike helmet that was on the coat rack, walked straight back out of the house, got on my bike and went to the only place that brings me comfort.

Walking upto Jules door, I knocked. waiting with baited breath she finally answers."Hey what are you doing here?" she asked.

" I needed some company and I need to ask you something " I say releasing my breath. she waved me in. "Hey stranger!" her mum yelled from the loungeroom. " Hey Jules Mum, how are you feeling?" I ask."much better. bit I would personally feel better if I knew who you are under that helmet." she arched an eyebrow. "all in good time" I chuckled. Jules grabbed my hand and led me to the dining room.I grabbed her soft hands in mine and I sat down on the chair whilst she stood infront of me.

"Before I say anything, I need to know how you feel about me?" Her eyes widened with shock. " uhh, umm I don't know, I mean I like you, alot, but I still don't know who you are.which I love, LIKE about you. I like a good mystery." I let out a chuckle at her panicked response. "I like you alot too. listen, my parents are moving to Italy in two weeks and want to meet you. is that ok?" she nodded. "Wait are you going with them?" she asked."No beautiful, I am staying here, I have a place to move into soon. " I ran my hand over her cheek, relishing in how soft her skin is. She let out a shaky sigh of relief.

"I like you too, alot, but I am still not ready to reveal who I am, so I need to talk to my parents about my situation and see how to go about this." I stood up and bought her into my arms for a hug. " Isn't your birthday next week?" she let out a frustrated sigh. " Yeah but I don't celebrate it, Its just another day." she said this in a robotic voice like she had been rehearsing it. I couldn't help but smile. " would you be mad if I got you a gift?" She eyed me wearily. " I still get gifts, I just don't make a big deal out of it, I haven't since I turned nine." I frowned."That didn't answer my question." She pulled away, put her hands on her hips and looked up at me. Gods she is adorable. " depends on what it is. if its something ridiculously expensive, yes,if it a bucket of skittles and a good book, no." I laughed "A bucket of skittles and a book huh? can I throw in a candle?" She crossed her arms infront of herself. "Im a simple girl." I pulled her back in for a hug. s**t. I am in trouble. But I have a brilliant Idea that might just save my arse, That will have to wait for later. " Well, I already got you a gift, but you can't have it until your birthday next week. " I grinned like an i***t. I wish she could see it.

We walked into the loungeroom and sat with her Mum who was happily watching a character die over and over again. We joined her, this was one of my favourite shows too. I did not miss her mum looking cautiously over at me every now and then. I didn't blame her. "I have to go now but I will call you later ok?" she nodded looking very tired. "do you have to leave? I wish you could stay over tonight" I was about to reply when I noticed the look on her Mums face. " I wish I could too, but I have to get some stuff done, help mum and Dad pack their stuff. she nodded. The disappointed look on her face ate at me. She will be the death of me one day. I gave her another hug and said my goodbyes. I got back onto my bike and rode to Jules cottage.

when I got there, I emptied the overflowing mailbox, all junk mail. I turned on the lights and had another look around. there was a second loungeroom in here with a large window, that had a seat in it. her favourite roses were growing just outside it. It was a beautiful view.This would be perfect. I sat on my phone, and ordered some furniture for this room alone and some Rose scented candles. I then went out to my bike and grabbed my measuring tape from my bag. took some means of the walls and ordered some supplies.

The next day the supplies came in and I got straight to work. By the time I was done, everything else came in. I set it all up and it looked amazing.I really hope she loves it. If not I am in bigger trouble then ever before. The day after, I went shopping for some decorations for the room, including black wall paint, and a floor lamp. got back set it up. and then I realised I hadn't checked my phone, nor have I been at school for the past two days. s**t. I grabbed out my phone and messaged Jules. twenty texts from Jules, Two from Mum and fifteen from Adrian. I let them know I was ok but Jules messages were breaking my heart the most

Me: Hey I am so sorry for not calling, I got a little distracted with a project.I will call you tonight beautiful.

how ironic that I am doing something for her but didn't remember to look at my phone once and reassure her how much she means to me. Stupid.Stupid.Stupid.
