Home is where the heart is

[Lexus]

When she walked back out Levi was quick to check to see if she was hurt. Lucky for all lives at the party she was clear. Getting into the truck he drove her home. He wasn't trying to treat her this way but if her dad was not to know then he had to take matters into his own hands. Before she got out of the truck he reached for her hand. He looked from his lap to her eyes. He was going to say something but he decided against it. "stay out of trouble."

"Yeah. Stay out of trouble. Nice one." She said and rolled her eyes as she got out of the truck and shut the door behind her. She sighed and walked inside and her father asked her to start making lunch. She nodded and acted as if nothing happened. She just hated this. She hated this awkwardness with Levi and her. She sighed and the next day, just stayed at home. Her dad had gone to work and Ryan stayed at home. There was nothing to do.


Rachel had gone to Levis house and while she waited, she made sure her friend had the camera read and finally, when Levi stepped out. Rachel wrapped her arms around Levi and kissed him. She made it seem like Levi kissed her. "Thanks for that." She whispered as she pulled away and then laughed.

Brett watched this and shook his head. "Hell no." He whispers. These girls were not about to ruin the best thing Levi had going for him. Walking up behind Rachel's friend he tapped her shoulder and took the camera from her before she could do anything with it he took it and smashed it with his boot. Next he stepped close to Rachel and moved her away from Levi. "You better listen and you better listen real good because I don't repeat myself. If you ever, I mean ever try to pull that again I will make your life a living hell and if you go near the girl i swear by all that is good for you you wished you saw the light of day. His grip tightened on the girl. "Levi won't put his hands on you, but I will gladly. Just because you're Stella's sister doesn't give you any right. It wasn't his fault and he isn't a trophy. You want the truth, you're plain mean. No wonder your sister wanted nothing to do with you." The fright was apparent in her eyes. "Go, go before I change my mind and call Ron."

Rachel looked between the two and walked off to the car and the girls quickly drove off. Bella had seen and she looked at her brother with utter confusion as to why he kissed Rachel. "Big Brother?" Bella asked as she felt tears form in her eyes. Was her brother cheating on Ryan? Why? Ryan was the best thing to ever happen to him and her and now he was going to ruin things.

Levi sighed and turned to his little sister he really wished she didn't see that."Bella!" He calls as she an off he followed after her. Bella didn't know who Rachel was because Stella protected her from her younger sister. "Bell, come here," He picked her up as she tried to run. When she calmed down he tried to explain what had happened. "You remember Stella right?" He asks as she nods and he wiped away her tears. It hurt to bring Stella into this but there was no other way. "Well, now that Stella's an angel a lot of people don't like Ryan because they miss Stella so they are all trying to scare Ryan away, and we don't want that do we?" When she shook her head he smiled. "I have to tell you a secret but you can't tell anyone else. Promise?"

Bella nodded and sniffled as she wiped her final tears away. She didn't want to lose Ryan. She wanted to keep her here. Ryan didn't belong anywhere else but here.

Levi smiled. "Alright just between us then." Leaning closer to her he whispered in her ear. "I love Ryan." When he pulled away he laughed at the none year old's bright smile. "So we got to keep her here, can you help me do that? We can't tell her about the mean girls or she might not want to come back."

 

[isax]

Bella smiled and nodded. "Right." She said and then kissed his cheek as she smiled a smile that never faded and then looked at Brett and laughed. "Can we go to the river with Ryan?" She asked and smiled.

"Not today maybe this weekend." Setting her back on the ground he smiled as she ran back to help her mom. Only time would tell how their relationship would work out.

Another couple months had passed and as November rolled around, Ryan's birthday was coming up, along with Thanksgiving. Ryan stayed at home and slept in on her birthday. She didn't want to do anything today other then sleep.

The snow had began to fall and Levj had to dress warm to head out and cut wood for his mother. It was Ryan's birthday but he left her alone for now knowing she probably wanted to sleep. But he did have something to give to her later and they were going out tonight.

When Ryan woke up, her father told her to get dressed and for her to meet him in the truck. Ryan sighed as she got dressed in Jeans, a nice shirt and her boots then left her hair naturally down for once. She went to the truck and her father took her to the small diner for breakfast and gave her a small cake for her birthday. She laughed and smiled as she yawned. "I'm just 18. No big deal." She said and then laughed and after she spent the day with her dad, she was dropped off at Levis because according to her dad, he had a night planned with her.

When Ryan pulled up Bella ran out with her brother and nearly tackled her in the snow. "Happy Birthday!" She exclaimed with a laugh as she headed her a drawing of the three of them and a bracelet made of string.

 

[isax]

When Ryan was tackled into the snow, she couldn't help but laugh and begin to shiver. She was dressed for light cold weather but now that she was in snow, it was freezing. "Thank you Bella. I love them." She said and kissed his forehead with a smile.

"Bell, you'll freeze her to death." Levi says with a laugh as his sites for up he helped Ryan back to her feet . He smiled at her hair down he had never seen it like that before and he thought it was beautiful. "Hi." He says with a bright smile. It had been a week since he had seen her and it was starting to drive him crazy.

 

[isax]

"Hey there." She whispered with a bright smile as well. This week was a long week but exams were always the worst. "I miss ya." She whispered again and then laughed softly before kissing his cheek. "So what ya got planned?"

"You'll see." He says with bright eyes he smiled as Bella walked off and stepped closer, kissing her in the snow.. The feeling of her lips was something he missed. "Happy Birthday." He whispers

 

[isax]

Ryan smiled through the kiss and then put her forehead against his. "Thank ya." She whispered and kissed him again and when she pulled away, she smiled. "I really did miss ya."

"Ditto." Levi replies with a laugh and kisses her once more. "You're going to freeze out here." Taking off his winter coat he put it on her and waited for her to discover the gift he left in pocket of the jacket. <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_11/ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417051940.281869.jpg.5ef2a0e2c595c9b308767b6fb2e23651.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="35538" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_11/ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417051940.281869.jpg.5ef2a0e2c595c9b308767b6fb2e23651.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

"I know." She said and put her hands in the pockets then felt a chain. She looked at Levi questioningly and the pulled it out and gasped. Ryan wrapped her arms around him and kissed him as she played with his hair. She heard someone take a picture but she didn't care. The necklace was perfect. "I love it. thank you." She whispered and kissed him again and when she pulled away, she couldn't help but smile.

"I'm glad." Taking the necklace from her he clasped it to her neck as she moved her hair out of the way. When he finished he smiled as she kissed him again. He laughed. "Don't get too excited yet the night isn't over yet."

 

[isax]

"What else is planed?" She asked and smiled as she stood next to him and held his hand. She was happy to have Levi. These holidays were going to be great ones.

"Let's go," He whispers leading her to the truck. Turning on the heater and rubbed his hands together and cupped Ryan's face with a laugh he felt his cold her cheeks were he kissed her again before they drove into town to go to dinner.

 

[isax]

Ryan smiled at the kiss and then when they pulled up to town, she smiled and got down after he opened her door. "You're crazy." She whispered and when they were seated, she ordered a water and then looked at Levi with a bright smile.
