ﾚ◊ㄅ∑Я (ACCEPTING)

Taylor.

I laugh when he plays along and teases me gently. I solely brush my hair behind my ear before I raise a fist with a joking sneer, amusemt clear on my facial features.
"Ha! You got that right!" I giggle and lower my fist and gaze at him sidewardly, chuckling a little, shaking my head in disbelief.

Then he asks what's bugging me and I visibly stiffen up. I can feel my blood run cold, and my hand leaves its resting place on Ashe's head and moves to clutch my cast as I breathe in sharply.
Flashes enter my mind, again and again, ones of my Father swinging at my head with a bottle drunkenly, making me scream and duck.
When I pull myself out of the flash, I find that I'm trembling, face suddenly pale and a thin layer of sweat soaking my body. I part my lips to explain, but I only utter a fearful squeak.
Finally I look over at Joey, then to the Nurse and his Fsthed, eyes clouding wih pain from the reminsance.
"Um.. Could we.. Please have some time alone?.." I whisper shakily, wanting to explain everything to Joey.

Mayson chuckled again, "Your a pretty tough girl ya know. I havent ever met such a beautiful girl before who could play football and not suck at it." He smiled sweetly at her.

Amber noticed the guy talking to the girl about wanting to go on some ride or something. She sighed and looked over at him. She walked over to him and smiled shyly, "If you'd like i'll join you on that ride." She said shyly.

Victoria looks with Amber and stands, pointing to Amber. She looks at Andrew. "Yes! Go with her!" She says happily, smiling slightly. She look to Amber with a slight smile as she looks down. She texts someone quietly as she calms down.

Zander blushed slightly and said,"Thank you, I've never met a quarterback who wasn't too full of himself to see past his own nose," she complimented back, smiling. Her eyes were happy and bubbily as she looked at him, and she couldn't believe she met someone who actually liked how she was on the football team. Most people blamed her when they lost, even if it had nothing to do with her at all!

Andrew looked down at the sitting Victoria and then back at Amber, smiling,"Alright, lets go," as he walked over to the ride, looking back to see if Amber was following him. His eyes were still excited and happy, and he walked with a pourpose, wanting to ride the ride as soon as posible. "My names Andrew by the way, but you can call me Drew," he smiled again at Amber, wondering what her name was.

[sawyer beans.]

Mayson chuckled, "I'm nowhere close to being like one of those quarterbacks." He felt his phone vibrate but ignored it. He looked into her eyes and found himself lost. What was it about this girl that made him feel so happy and made him want to know her better? He didnt know but he wanted to find out.

Amber kept up her pace behind Andrew. She blushed slightly remembering she hadnt told him her name yet, "My name is Amber." She said shyly. Her sleeve slid back as she fixed her hair to show some cuts and bruises. Once she noticed they were showing, she pulled back down her sleeve.

Zander smiled again and said,"Good," just standing there and looking into his eyes. Then she felt self consiouse and moved a strey peice of hair out of her eyes and behind her ear. She continued walking and soon was opening the doors to Starbucks. The scent of coffee flooded her nose and she felt sick to her stomach already. She hated coffee with a burning pation, but the drink isn't what made her decide to come here, it was the guy who had asked her to come with him.

Andrew smirked,"Thats a beautiful name," as he looked back at her. He noticed a scratch and bruse just before she pulled her sleeve down and knew he wasn't imagining things. So he made a sly move and grabbed her hand into his, swinging there arms and saying,"I'm sorry, I like holding hands," feeling like a dork but needing to know for sure. When his swinging forced her sleeve back up he saw a bruse again and felt sorrow flood him. Who would hurt such a beautiful girl, or why would she hurt herself?

[sawyer beans.]

Mayson grabbed the door from her and walked inside with her. The smell of coffee didnt really bother him but he didnt like the taste. He looked down at her, "Want a strawberries and creme frapicino?" He asked and decided to add, "It doesnt have any coffee added in it, otherwise i wouldnt drink it."

Amber jumped a little as he suddenly grabbed her hand and started swinging them. She raised her eyebrow a little and realized what he was doing. She pushed down her sleeve again with her other hand and looked away sadly. Could she explain to him about these cuts and bruises? Could she trust him with her secrets? She didnt know but thought she'd give it a chance, "I'll explain later."

[Keke14]

Zander looked up at him shocked, but a smile crossed her face and she thought with excitement,'He doesn't like coffee either!' She then nodded,"Yeah, that sounds good.. Thanks again," she smiled once more at him, happy he had bumped into her on the sidewalk. Maybe, just maybe, Facebook's fortunes can be right.

Andrew was surprised Amber figured out what he was doing with his simple trick. But then he stopped swaying their hands, still holding her's,"I understand, alright," he smiled slightly, encouragingly. He wanted to know with his undieing curiosity, but he didn't know what he would do if he knew someone was hurting her. What if it was her boyfriend? He continued walking with her though, getting to the line for the ride and sighing,"This looks like a good one," though he didn't have half the enthusiasm or energy that he had before he held her hand, sorrow taking over.

[sawyer beans.]

Mayson smiled and stood in line with her, "No problem. Want extra whip cream?" He asked as they began to move down the line. He was extremely glad he had bumped into her on the street. They had so much in common which made it easier for them to talk about things. Maybe just maybe, he was starting to fall for her.

Amber realized they were still holding hands as they walked into the line for the ride. She looked up at it and smirked, "You better not scream like a little girl." She teased him slightly. She tried to lighten the sorrow he seemed to have for her already and he didnt even know her story yet.

[Keke14]

Zander thought a moment, but then nudged him,"Of course, I Love whip cream!" she smiled. She looked around the line and knew she saw kids from there school, of course they were all talking with each other, and then she saw the guy that always picked on her. She felt small like she always did when she saw him, even though she was tall for her age, and then looked at the ground in front of her feet, not wanting to look at Mayson and have him guess her feelings. She liked him, was so nice to her, and he seemed to accept her for who she was.

Andrew laughed,"Huh, me laugh like a little girl? Never!" he declaired with a defiant motion of his other fist that wasn't holding Ambers hand. He then smiled challengingly,"But you, well I can see it happening," he teased right back, not wanting this to be more awkward than it was already. He had grabbed her hand for no good reason, awkward, and now he knew she had something to hide, something back, which made the tension in the air awkward, at least to him.

[sawyer beans.]

Amber laughed and looked up into his eyes, "Me scream like a little girly girl? Never in my life time would you hear me scream like that!" She giggled. She had a huge bright smile on her face. On one had been able to make her smile in years since her father went nuts on her. She pushed her father away.

Mayson looked around also and noticed her eyes laid on some guy. He'd seen him picking on her before at school and managed to 'talk' to him after school. More like fist fight. He shook it away and grabbed her hand to pull her up towards the desk. He ordered their drinks with extra whip cream on both and paid for them both. He pulled her over to the other side and waited for their drinks.

[Keke14]

Andrew chuckled again and then moved forward in the line. "You have a beautiful smile, you should wear that more often," he said, looking at her with his own bright happy smile. He did like the way she smiled and looked so happy for that matter. It ment for a moment she could forget about whatever happened with her arms and just be a normal teen. He remembered in years past he'd had troubles with his father, but now he was out of the picture for good.

Zander followed him when he grabbed her hand and blushed. She felt weak when his hand grabbed her's, but knew she wouldn't have to fight him. No he was better than most the kids at school, and she was greatful for just that. "You know kids will make fun of you for being with me," she stated, looking at his hand and then his shoulder, not meeting his eyes. This was usually the time when someone she thought would be a friend would run off, since they didn't want to be picked on either. That happened about four times, not at this school, but at past schools she's had to transfer to because of her dad's job.
