Chapter 8

Emily's POV

"Well we can be friends ...? If you want of course " he says and I smile unconsciously.

"Well we can , but I'm warning you that I am a little ... hard to deal with "

"Noone is hard to deal with, they just need the right person on their side"

"Yeah, but it's difficult to find him or her" I say and mean it

"But it's not impossible. Not when you hope"

"Hope kills the most"

"No it doesn't. Hope keeps people alive. It gives them a reason to open their eyes every morning , doesn't it?"

"It does, but the ones who hopes, are the ones who gets hurt" I remember all the bad things that had happened to me

" It's the rainy days that give us love for the sun "

He is right. Maybe I should see the positive side. But how?

"What are you thinking?" He interrupts my thoughts

"Nothing special"

"Everything about you is special"

God .

"Mhmm" I say while rolling eyes

"What? You liked the sentence "

"No I didn't" I lie

"Firstly I said it as a fact , secondly I know you did"

"Annoying"

"You liked it"

"That doesn't mean that you're less annoying" I am surprised by my own words...

"Here we go again"

"Where?" I snap

"Well..."

"Emily dear, come here!" My mom interrupts his words

"Your mom should learn how to let me talk" he says and I giggle

"She isn't that bad"

"yeah yeah" he rolls his eyes

...

"We're back" Daniel says for both of us when we arrive at the living room

"Emily I see that you and Daniel are becoming good friends" Chloe says

"Yeah, I swear. I should endure him because we're at the same class" I say

"Smart" she replies

"I don't want to be rude and interrupt your discussion, but we should go now." Daniel's father says

My dad and Harry, Daniel's father go out while we're saying goodnight...

"so..." Daniel starts

"so..."

" Goodnight! " he says

Is he joking me? "Goodnight"????

"Goodnight" I say disappointingly

He goes away. Where did the Daniel before 2 minutes go? I mean why is he being so distancing?

...

"Emily come inside" my mom says when our neighbours are gone.

"Can I stay some minutes here please?" I ask for her permission and she nods

Me and my thoughts again...

When he hugged me I realized that I have stopped living life. I'm literally just trying to get to the next day. I'm not living, I'm waiting. And the trouble is, I don't know what I'm exactly waiting for. I'm kind of scared for what it might be.

Will it come or should I wait for my entire life?

...

Daniel's POV

"I'm going to my room. Goodnight! " I say to my family as I go to my room

I'm at home , but why does it feel more home when I'm with her?

She is hurt. I saw that on her eyes.

She's tired of waiting, she's tired of just breathing, as I am too

I open my phone a register her number.

Should I text her? Would she be annoyed? Would she like talking with me? And what's more important does she feel the same I do?

I shouldn't. How can I heal her when I'm broken myself?

I remember how her breath got faster when I put her closer.

I know I shouldn't, but I don't regret it. I would have done it again.

*Hey* I write her

*Hello? Who are you?* She replies and I smile

* Your favourite neighbour * I reply

* No, you're not my favourite neighbour * she says and I can say that her face has turn to red now

* I still think I am *

* I don't care what you think * she lies

* I can't trust you *

* Its okay. Sometimes I don't trust myself too *

Shit .

* I'm sorry, I was just... *

*Its okay sometimes I don't know what I talk*

* Are you okay? * I can tell she's not

* I do not know. I mean have you ever felt empty? No feelings, no tears , just empty *

* Emily where are you? *

* At my home *

* Do you want me to come? * I don't know how but if she says yes I will find a way

* We are not in novels Daniel, when everything is possible. What if I want to? *

* Can you open the second door of your house? I'm coming *

I can't believe what I'm doing...but I don't regret it

* What? No!!! Are you serious? *

* Please! *

* I... *

* two minutes. Promise *

* okay *
...

"Emily" I whisper after I arrive at her home

" Shhh you're going to wake them up " she says

"Open the door "

I can't believe myself

" What? No, everyone is inside "

Really? I didn't know that

" open the f*cking door or I will break into "

I won't do it but I don't know why I said it

" I'm not okay " she says and cries

I can feel her pain now, her tears, she is ... she's perfect even when she cries.

" Can I... you know stay with you? Just talk... " I ask her...

I want to stay with her, not only because I like her... but I know she's hurt... and she needs somebody.

But from the day that I met her, I can say that she doesn't show her true self.

She's hurt, but she smiles. She's broken, but she heals others. She's perfect, but she doesn't accept it...

I wish she could see herself with my eyes, to understand how perfect she is...
