Don't Hide.(Book 3 Don't series)

Chapter 1 (Pool time)

I was addicted to sweet tea. When I was little I wouldn't drink another but sweet tea. I had a friend tell me one time that up north they didn't even know what sweet tea was. She told me a story where she'd went to go out to eat with her family and asked for sweet tea to drink and the waiter just looked at her weird.He told her she could use the sugar packets on the table.

After that i declared I was never going up North.

I took a big sip sighing as the cool liquid slid down my throat.

"All your teeth are going to rot with how much you drink that stuff."

I glared at Blaze and turned away from him suddenly interested in the cabinets. I heard his sigh and stiffened when his hand touched my waist.

"Come on cupcake you know I'm sorry." He whispered hugging me lightly from behind.

Blaze had been calling me cupcake since I'd been about eight. I'd had a huge obsession at the time with them and even had my mom buy a bed set covered with big colorful cupcakes. Blaze only ever used my real name when he was serious or upset.

I shrugged out of his hold and took another sip of my drink.

"I promise it'll never happen again just please---Ambria come on I hate when your mad at me." He pleaded desperately.

My heart softened a little knowing he had to be really upset if he had to use my name. After a couple minutes I turned around and sighed giving up.

He bent down so he could look into my eyes giving me a puppy dog look. "Fine I forgive you." I said throwing my arms up.

He grinned and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me tight against his chest. I sighed and hugged him back.

"I really am sorry." He whispered.

I nodded knowing he was.

'Blaze--What's wrong? Why are you acting like this?" I asked tentatively.

He sighed and pulled away slightly. "I'm just---don't worry about it cupcake." His voice grew sad and I frowned confused.

"Angel?--Ambria?"

I froze as the deep voice washed over me. Slowly I turned to the doorway to see--Lee.

He hadn't changed expect for his hair being a bit longer. It always baffled me as a child that he never seemed to age. While every one else seemed to change even me-- he didn't. When I was older he explained to me that he'd stopped aging. He never told me why though.

For some reason though he did appear different to me in a way. He looked well---pretty damn good. He was gorgeous in fact. I'd never looked at him in that way when I was younger but now......he looked like a freaking model that'd walked out a magazine.

His eyes slowly ran over me making me shiver. His eyes seemed to darken as he took in my blue hair, tattoos, and piercings, not to mention I wasn't't the same awkward looking girl he'd left.

His eyes lifted up to connect with mine and before I knew it I was running toward him. I forgot I was suppose to hate him and that he'd hurt me. All I could think of was how much I'd missed him and how much I wanted to be in his arms.

I jumped into his open arms tears streaking down my face.

My arms were wrapped tightly around his neck as his held me to his chest. He hugged me tightly his hands warm and famailar agasint my bare skin.

I sob wracked through me and instantly he pulled back slightly to wipe my tears away his eyes soft.

"I missed you so much." I babbled as he held my face between his hands. His thumbs brushed more of my tears away his eyes locking with mine.

"I missed you too Angel. So much my little angel." He told me softly before kissing my forehead. Then we were hugging again as if this was our last hug. He rocked us lightly his face pressed into my hair. My head was laid against his chest the sound of heart soothing me as it had when I was a child. Feelings coursed through me blinding me of anything and everything but him.

If I could I would stay in his arms forever knowing he'd never let anything harm me.

"Bree what's taking you---"

Blake's voice had me snapping back to realty and I quickly pulled myself out of Lee's arms. I quickly wiped my face of anymore tears and avoided looking at Lee. I grabbed my drink and grabbed Blake's hand dragging him out of the kitchen and away from the man who seemed to still hold my heart.

I had loved him as brother then a friend.

I guess my heart decided it had already taken the next step without me.
