"Anger"
Here is a tidbit I just started writing a few days ago. I'm still adding to it...
"ANGER":
I sat in the porch swing reading when I heard a car pull into the driveway. Placing my book mark in the page I looked up to see Joe’s red eclipse stop in it’s usual parking place. Joe opened the drivers door and climbed out. Oh dear, he’s not happy. I thought seeing the flame in his eyes and the twisted look on his face. “You OK?” I asked.
“Don’t worry about it.” Joe snapped as he opened the front door. “Just keep reading.” He stepped in the house slamming the door behind him.
I tried to keep reading but I wasn’t processing the word,, my eyes read the words but I wasn’t as interested as I was five minutes ago. I finally closed the book ,set it on the swing, and followed Joe inside.
“He’s in his workshop.” Jane told me when I entered the living room. “But I wouldn’t go in there. He’s really mad.” She looked up at me from where she sat in one of the plush burgundy chairs that was placed around the room.
“I know he’s mad. He snapped at me.” I had my hands on my hips standing in the doorway.
“Just warning you.” Jane held up her hands as if to say “not my fault if you get upset”.
“Thanks.” I said sarcastically before turning and heading down the hall way towards Joe’s workshop. I hesitated before knocking on the door. I heard no noise from the other side. I tried to turn the knob only to find that it was locked. I knocked again after a few moments. “Joe, please let me in.” I called to him. Their was movement on the other side and the door opened. Joe turned and sat back down at his work bench. I pushed the door more open and slid inside the room, closing the door behind me. Joe sat across the room with his hands buried in his hair. “Are you going to tell me what happened?” I asked after a few silent minutes.
Joe rested his forearms on the table in front of him. “They said I wasn’t good enough. They said I was good, but not good enough for their recording studio.” He said all of this without turning around.
I walked over and sat down on a stool beside of him. “So you’re going to give up?” I asked. “Just because the first studio you went to said ‘no’. Sure, it’s a big studio, but there are others.” I reached out and touched his arm. “I know you. I know you don’t give up easily, especially when it has to do with something you love.”
“I never said I was giving up..” Joe spoke.
“Well, you’re acting like it.” I was beginning to get mad at him. I removed my hand from his arm.
“Maybe you’re guessing wrong..” Joe still didn’t look at me. “Maybe you should let me figure it out alone.”
I felt the tears sting my eyes, my lips start to quiver. “If you want me to. Fine.” I couldn’t keep my voice from shaking.. I stood and left the room.
I felt the hole get bigger. I knew I needed to go apologize to Kandie. I just didn’t know how I would handle seeing her cry because of me. Kandie would forgive me ,whether I deserved it or not. That’s how she was. She would forgive some one if they did the worst thing possible to her. Standing, I turned and left the room.
“She’s-”
“I know, Jane,” I didn’t let my sister finish her sentence. Jane stood in the doorway to the living room, she probably had been waiting for me.. I reached for my coat, I noticed Kandie’s still hung on the rack beside mine. “She did go outside right?” I asked Jane.
“I thought you knew?” Jane retorted. “Yes.” She nodded.
“I thought so.” I slipped into my coat and exited the house. I shoved my hands in to my pockets as I entered the woods, headed to where I knew Kandie was at. The hole began to get small as I got closer to Kandie. It took me five minutes to find the familiar tree. Climbing up the ladder, I pulled myself onto the platform. “Kath.” I spoke her name, she sat in the corner of the tree house, holding her knees against her chest. The hole in my heart was no longer a hole, the second I saw the tears streaking down Kandie’s face my heart completely crashed. “Kandie.” I reached my hand out towards her. She shook her head and I noticed not only that her lips quivering but also that her teeth were chattering. She was freezing. “Katherine, please, come here, you’re freezing.” I said softly. She didn’t move. So I moved towards her, she didn’t protest. “I’m sorry I yelled at you. I didn’t mean what I said. Don’t ever leave me alone.” I apologized. “I was giving up, and you knew that. I’ll try again some other time.” I touched her arm, it too was shaking. I slipped my hand behind her back and pulled her close to me. “Don’t cry, please.” I rubbed my other hand up and down her arm trying to warm her.
Kandie slipped her arms around my waist, up my back, warming her hands in between my coat and back. She pressed her cheek against my chest. I felt my heart return.
The more the wind continued to blow the more I shook. Fifteen minutes past before I heard someone climbing up the ladder, and Joe’s head appeared through the hole.
“Kath.”
Several more tears slid out of my eyes when Joe said my name again. I shook my head as he reached his hand towards me. More wind and sobs shook my body.
“Don’t cry.” Joe pleaded sliding over to me.
I couldn’t speak to tell him I couldn’t stop. I slid my arms around his waist and pressed my cheek against his chest wanting, needing, his warmth and comfort. I continued to cry but my heart no longer hurt.

~Joe~
I heard the door click shut behind Kandie, I slammed my fists down on the table in front of me. Dang you, Joe! I scolded myself. “Idiot!” I screamed. The last thing I ever wanted to do was make Kandie upset. I not only upset her but I also made her cry. I didn’t doubt the uneven sound of her voice was her trying to keep the tears in her eyes from spilling down her cheeks. I had heard and seen her do that many times before but never because of me. I rested my elbows on the table and let my head fall into my hands. The rejection from the studio and now making my girlfriend up set wasn’t how I planned my day. The rejection wasn’t as bad as the upsetting. I didn’t like the way I felt either. My heart was feeling like there was a big hole in it, and it was getting bigger every minute. I hadn’t meant what I said to Kandie, I didn’t want her to leave me alone. I also knew what she said was true: I was giving up. I wasn’t going to any more though. I knew I was talented and that another studio would accept me. Yes, I might get more rejections but if I did I could move on. Try again.I felt the hole get bigger. I knew I needed to go apologize to Kandie. I just didn’t know how I would handle seeing her cry because of me. Kandie would forgive me ,whether I deserved it or not. That’s how she was. She would forgive some one if they did the worst thing possible to her. Standing, I turned and left the room.
“She’s-”
“I know, Jane,” I didn’t let my sister finish her sentence. Jane stood in the doorway to the living room, she probably had been waiting for me.. I reached for my coat, I noticed Kandie’s still hung on the rack beside mine. “She did go outside right?” I asked Jane.

Kandie slipped her arms around my waist, up my back, warming her hands in between my coat and back. She pressed her cheek against my chest. I felt my heart return.
~Kandie~
I hurried out of the house, not stopping to grab my coat, and ran into the woods not stopping until I reached the tree house. I climbed up the ladder, slid over to the far corner, and hugged my knees to my chest. The tears slid freely down my face now, and I didn’t bother to wipe them away. The wind started blowing making me shiver, and wish I had grabbed my coat. I leaned my head back against the tree as I felt my heart unraveling. Joe had never yelled at me, in any way, and it hurt. Yes, he had gotten mad at me before but never yelled at me. Joe was always the one to defend me, protect me, and comfort me. Now who would? I felt my heart coming more apart as I realized I wanted Joe to follow me, to come here and hold me. The more the wind continued to blow the more I shook. Fifteen minutes past before I heard someone climbing up the ladder, and Joe’s head appeared through the hole.
“Kath.”
Several more tears slid out of my eyes when Joe said my name again. I shook my head as he reached his hand towards me. More wind and sobs shook my body.

Just Writing...
I am just writing what comes into my head:
I sat along with Joe on the couch in my parents living room. We had come over for dinner and now sat alone in the living room while my parents were talking their nightly walk around the grounds.
"Are you OK?" Joe slipped his fingers through mine.
"Yeah, I'm fine, only tired and my head hurts thats all." I nodded.
"If you say so." Joe turned the TV on with the remote. "Did you take some Tylenol?" He asked.
"No, I haven't yet." I leaned my head against his arm. My head throbbed, I closed my eyes wanting the pain to go away.
"You need to. Now, please." Joe spoke, he squeezed my hand.
I raised my head up, and stood. "OK." I left the room headed towards the kitchen where I knew I would find the Tylenol. Entering the large Kitchen I noticed that Maria, the cook, had cleaned up from dinner and had gone home for the night. I quickly found the Tylenol bottle in the medicine cabinet, filled a glass with water, and swallowed the pill. I tried to steady my shaking hand as I raised the glass to my lips. Setting the glass down on the counter, I took a deep breathe, then let it out.
I knew I didn't need to take too long or Joe would come find me. I stood by the sink for several minutes before hearing the kitchen door open.
"Kandie, you all right?" Joe asked, coming up behind me.
"I'm fine, Joe." I hated when he worried about me, especially when he did too much.
"Are you sure?" He rubbed one hand up and down my back.
I, again, took a deep breath and let it out. "I don't know." I whispered in reply.
"What's wrong?" Joe's hand stopped at my shoulder, he turned me around.
"I don't feel good." I said looking up at him.
"Do you want me to take you home?" Joe reached up and brushed his thumb underneath my right eye where a tear had started to appear.
"I don't want to leave my parents." I shook my head.
"They'll understand, and we can come back some other night." Joe promised. "Are you sure there is nothing else wrong? You just don't feel good?" He kept his gaze locked on mine.
I shook my head. "I'm sure. Right now, nothing else is wrong." I told him.
"OK." Joe nodded. "We'll wait for your parents to get back before going home, ok?" He pushed my hair back out of my face.
"OK." I barely spoke. I let him lead me back into the living room, where we sat down on the couch again......
I was going to make it longer but I didn't. I'll add more later.

That's good. Please write more of something besides Kandie and Joe. Not that I don't like them but I'd rather have something besides romance.

I continued to shiver as he rubbed his hands up and down my arm, that wasn’t pressed against him, and my back.
“I’m sorry.” Joe whispered into my ear. “Please, don’t cry.” He lifted my face to look at him, cupping his hand around my cheek. He seemed to wince at the sight of my tears. “Please.” He wiped at the tear sliding down my face, I pressed my cold cheek against his palm. He planted a kiss on my forehead. He pulled me even closer as I shook once more, and pressed his mouth to mine.
I kissed him back, accepting the touch of his lips against mine, his warm hand pressed now against my neck. He pulled back after a few more moments.
"We need to get you home before you freeze." Joe whispered.
I nodded in agreement with him, not sure if I could breathe after that. We climbed down the ladder.
"Here." Joe took off his coat and handed it to me.
I took the coat from him and slid my arms into it immediately feeling the warmth. "Th-thanks." I smiled at him.
Joe slipped his fingers through mine. "You're going to be sick." He stated. "Never leave the house without a coat again." He told me. "You're still shaking, honey." He must've felt the tremble in my hand.
"I-I'm so-sorry, I can't st-stop." I said. I tried to steady my shaking body. "I didn't e-even think ab-about it."
"Stop talking, you're losing what little body heat you have left in your little self." Joe ordered.
I closed my mouth and didn't say anything until I could see the Guyers' house a few minutes later. "L-looks warm." I remarked.
Joe didn't reply. He lead me up the porch steps and into the house. "The fires on in the living room, go now." He told me, sliding his coat down my arms. "Get a blanket, I'll be there in a minute."
I obeyed and went into the living room, grabbing a blanket off of the back of the couch and sitting down infront of the fireplace. Jane entered the room then.
"What did Joe do to make you cry?" The girl asked once she saw me.
"None of your business, Jane." I told her. I normally told Jane everything but I knew she would use what Joe did to annoy her brother........
I'll add more later...
