Behind the Shadows.

My mom started to tear up. "Let her go, darling!" my dad was holding back the tears. "How come you can't write like that?"

As I strolled to school Malory came over early so she could push me to school, help me get dressed, and get around the house. "How is your leg, Lauren?" I sighed and looked at it. "In the point of sarcasm.. I can run 25miles without sweating." Malory rolled her eyes and gave a snicker. The whole way to school we only looked at the nature. As we went to school everyone gave me more and more balloons, chocolate, cards and a lot of other stuff that I couldn't fit all of it in my locker so I put some in Malorys locker. But it still couldn't fit!

Someone walked up behind my wheelchair an pushed it. "Who is pushing me?" he (I could tell by the deepness) hummed a familiar song. I tried to look behind but I couldn't because of my back. "You sound familiar..." as I said that he turned from the way I was supposed to go. "My next class is Math.. Where are you taking me." a note fell into my lap. It said in bold letters "JUST TRUST ME " I saw the letters that looked so familiar it was on the tip of my tongue. "I trust you.. I think." he pushed me to the auditorium and put me in the front row next to a seat. He put another note on my lap. "I'LL BE RIGHT BACK. JUST STAY THERE PLEASE." I guess he ran away from me. The stage was closed and I just sat there. Then, a song started to start... It sounded like me singing an old song I sang in 8th grade. "Haha what's going on. Why did you bring me here?" I heard a voice but didn't see the person. "Well. Lauren..." the voice was in my head and I didn't really know who it was. "We have known each other since well I don't know when we were born. And we haven't really talked... But I know in the first grade you gave yourself a pink hair streak to be like Avril. In second grade your ID picture was a taped picture of Hannah Montana. And all though things that made you. You... I loved everything bout you..." I started to tear up and still look so confused on whom it was. "So Lauren," the curtains started to unravel. It showed five big letters. Showed all the embarrassing pictures and photos of me and John. Me and him on a hill having a tea party. Me and him drawing on mustaches and me an him when we were baby's kissing.. "Will you go to Prom with me?"

 

As I tryed to hold back the tears, they came strolling down. "Come here. I can't get up and I need to hug you!" I said as I smiled but tears still rolling down my cheeks. He came running down and hugged me. I whispered into his ear "Yes. Yes. Yes..." then he picked me up from my chair and span me around. "Haha okay put me down now." he laughed but did as I said. I looked at my watch "OH CRAP!! I'm going to be late!" as he starred at me for a few seconds he grabbed that handles and pushed me to math.. But why did he ask me now? We haven't spoke in a few years..

 

At my house I started to get the hang of pushing myself in the wheelchair. My life was finally getting better. I had a date and a boyfriend. Malory has a date and a boyfriend and I think Andrea has 13 dates today... -_-

I strolled around my house looking for a magazine so I could read and find out what's happening in someones world. I tryed to get out of my wheelchair to sit on the couch but suddenly I heard a knock on the door. "Lauren!! It's Andrea!!! I have a surprise for yooouuu!!!" I had that pissed face then sat back down and rolled to the door. "Andrea I'm at the door what's the surprise? Cause I ain't going out side wearing.." I looked down at what I was wearing and it was a sports bra and some boxers. "Well, let's just say I'm not decent for getting out of the house." she snickered and said "I have a coat out here that you can wear just come out of there!" I didn't know why I went out but I did. She threw a coat on my head. I moved the blue, thick coat and saw some else blue. It was a car. With a guy in it. I didn't know who he was, now don't tell John, but he was cute. "Tah Dahh! My new car!!" all the excitement was for nothing. "So why did you bring me out here? Cause I regret it..." "Well." she said "When I don't want this car or I get a new one. This babe will be yours!" the excitement came back to me but faded away cause I would get it in about 10 years. "Oh wow." I said with sarcasm. "Thanks.." she smiled and said "Your very welcome!"

I checked my phone as I went back inside 'Three missed calls. Ten new messages' Seriously... People these days. I checked the three missed calls . All from John. I checked the messages. Nine from John. One from Mallory. These were the messages.
"10:39 AM.
Hey babe! Wassup want to go get some pizza later?"
"10:57 AM.
Hello? Lauren? Me Malory and her bf were going to go to the roller rink. Wanna come?"
"From Mallory
10:56 AM
Hey Lauren! Want to go to the roller rink? John is going to come! "
Then a whole lot more about the roller rink. I checked my watch. 11:56 AM. I still got time to go! I strolled faster into my house looking for something cute to wear. Andrea came walking into the living room with the cute guy touching her butt. "Me and Fernando are going to be up stairs. Wanna come? He has a twin brother... It will be fun." she said as she winked at me then put her leg on him and pushed him down kissing him and taking off him clothes. Plus she was moving quickly. O.O... "Uhm.. Well I'll pass I'm going to the roller rink with some friends.. So yeah tell the brother I said thanks and all but no thanks." she didn't stop to say okay bye or anything she and him were just on the floor having sex...

 

At the roller rink I saw Malory and her boyfriend. He was skating backwards and he was pulling her so she can learn how to skate. Then he behind me out of no where I got a kiss on the cheek from John. "Hey, babe. Wassup?" I paused to think but answered. "Nothing just watching." he checked me out and said "Could you skate without your wheelchair?" I looked at him as if he was a retarded goose that has foot problems and was on fire. "Uh... Excuse me?! Er no!!" Prom was only just three days away. Maybe because of all the physical therapy I could stand up and the could push me to skate... "here let me get you some skates." he went to the counter and got a size 6 for my feet. He slipped them onto my feet like Cinderella. Then he helped me stand. "Baby, I got chu." he whispered in my ears as he held me and helped me stand. "LAUREN!!! Your standing!!!!" Malory screamed from across the rink. "Good observation, Malory!" I said then me and John snickered after. We got on the rink and I stood as perfectly still as John pushed me around in the oval. "See! Your skating." I looked at him in his brown, dark, sexy eyes and said "Thank you..." Did a quick faint smile then kissed him on the lips. I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT!!!! It sounded like it need to be in a movie.

We got in Johns car to leave to his apartment. The radio blasted "Shes a good girl.." and we raised our hands in the air. As we drove my wheelchair squeaked and squirmed in the back. I looked concerned then John said "Its fine. Okay? We are almost there." I smiled at him and said a faint Kay. We drove up into the parking lot of the apartments. "Okay my room in 165. So when y'all get back from the movies that's the room. Okay?" The smiled as he tossed them the keys. "Wait. Wait. They aren't going I your apartment too?" he shook his head. "Nope. Just me and you." then gave me a wink and took my hand and pulled me inside. We rushed to the elevator, him still grasping my hand. "Okay look for 165." I looked around and saw 164 then 165. "Found it!" he smiled and unlocked the door. As we entered the room was red, orange, brown, and white stripes on the walls. He gave me the tour. But I didn't see his bedroom. "Wait." he looked over as he said "Yes..? Anything wrong?" "Where is your bedroom?" he chucked and said "You know the tour is not over?" he smiled and I gave one in return. "Follow me." we went through the living room and kitchen then he opened a door to this big, huge, luxurious room with one big bed on the side by a landscape patio. "Holy Big Bed batman..." I said as my jaw was still open. He laughed and said "You wanna feel how soft the bed is..?" I shook my head with my jaw still wide open. He picked me up and put me on the bed. It felt like I was on clouds... But I have never been on a cloud so I have no idea what it would feel like. So it felt REALLY soft. "Move over please." he said as he gave me a tiny nudge. He lasted next to me and grabbed my hand. "Lauren..." he said as he sighed a tiny bit. "Yes John..?" "I know we have been dating for like only three weeks... But we haven't... Did anything." he looked at him in the eyes and said "Well what do you want to do? Cause we have kissed and hugged and danced and skated... What else?" he starred into my eyes and said "Nevermind... I love you Lauren.." I kissed him and said "I love you too, John.." we turned as he held me close and we kissed gently but we were close together. Then he stopped me and said "Could we please-" I cutted him off as I got on top of he and kissed him. I knew this is what he wanted...
