Trust is a dangerous path.

Chapter 15 : Goodnight

"Kaya!" i hear Miles yell.

I turn around and see Miles jogging he's way over to me. I slightly smile and he just looks confused.

"What are you doing here?" He askes as soon as he stands in front of me. He's eyes fall over my face but go to my wet hair and drenched clothes quickly. "And what happened to you?"

"It's a long story. Look i just need to get back but i don't know where to go." I tell him. He just nods and tells me to follow him.

"So what happened?" he askes again while walking. "I don't really want to talk about it right now. I'll tell you later." i say and he whispers a 'okay'. After a couple seconds silence i dare to speak up again.

"Hey, could i use you're phone for a second? I need to call Lira but i forgot my phone at home." I say with a blank expression. I really don't want to go home and Lira is kinda my only other option. "Sure, why though?" He says.

I have not the energie to think of a lie and i don't want to lie to him. "I got into a fight with my dad and i don't want to go home right know. I just need to check if i can sleepover." I tell him and i refuce to look up to see the expresion on his face. He hands me the phone and i quickly dial in Lira' phone number. It rings a couple times until she pickes up.

"Hello?" i hear a very sleepy voice say. I almost laugh but i don't. "Hey it's Kaya." i said.

"Kaya? What's wrong it's like 1 am." she says. I can hear the worry mixed with annoyence. "Can i sleepover?" I ask to the point. "Euhm Kaya i'm sorry but i'm at my grandmother's house. But why? What's wrong?" She asks. I slightly bail now that i now i have to go home. "Don't worry about it i'll tell you another time." I say.

"Okay, wait from who's phone are you calling?" She askes clearly being more awake. "Oh, it's miles' phone." i say and Miles looks at me. "What?! Miles, why are you with him? Not that i mind but how? Are you on the demons side or is he on the angels side?" She asked all at once. "Lira i'll answer all of those questions tommorow." i say. "OKay fine but you have to tell me everything." She says. "Yes, ofcourse. Goodnight." i say and gave the phone back to Miles.

I started walking again since i could see the forest from here. "And?" Miles asks following behind. "Lira's at her grandmother's house, so i'll have to go home." I say. I'm still shivering and tired. "Why don't you sleep over at my house." Miles says. It makes me wide my eyes and turn to him. "I mean only if you're comfortable with that. It's late, you don't wanna go home and you look like you just got out of a waterfall." he says making me giggle. "Will you're mom think it's okay?" I ask. What if she doesn't like angels at all. That would be really awkward.

"I'm sure she won't mind." he says. "And tommorow we have a free day so she would care even less." It's true tommorow we have a day off. Nothing can go wrong and i'd rather sleep over at his house than go home.

We step on the front porche and he silently tries to open the door. The room is completely dark. We step inside and all of a sudden the light flashes on and a voice yells loudly in my ear.

"Hello brother!" I hear. I was now standing behind Miles but that voice i recognized. I stuck my head out from behind Miles and i see Noah sitting on the counter with a bowl of pasta.

He chokes on his pasta when he sees me. "Kaya!" He jumps of the counter. "What are you doing here?" He asks with a bright smile on his face. "She's sleeping over. I'm gonna text mom about it." Miles says walking out of the living room. Noah' jaw is dropped and he just lookes at me.

"What happened to you're clothes? Why are you on the demons side? And why are you sleeping over?" Noah asks me while sitting down and petting the seat next to him. I walk to the seat and sit down with a sight. "I got into a fight with my dad so i went outside, swam in the ocean and why i was on this side i'll explain another time but i called Lira and she's at her grandmother's house so i can't sleepover at her's and i really don't wanna go home right know." I explain to him. He is just sitting there listening to me closely and stuffing his mouth full with pasta. "Interesting." Is all he says.

Then Miles walks in with a stack of clothes. "I texted mom, she's totaly fine with it." he said to the both of us. He walks closer to me and gives me the stack of clothes. "You can change there." He says while pointing at a door down the hall. I thank him and make my way to the door.

When i walk inside i switch on the lights and see a big bathroom. I close the door and start undressing. I hear voices in the living room that are from Noah and Miles. I am to tired to care really. I pull on the sweatpants Miles gave me and pull the hoodie over my head. I step out of the bathroom and the voices go quiet immediately. I walk back to the living room and see Noah smiling like and idiot while Miles lookes slightly annoyed.

"You look great Kaya." Noah says. "Thanks." i say sarcastic. He hops of his seat and takes his bowl of pasta. "Well, you will be sleeping in Miles' room since my room is to messy to share with anyone and Eva is already sleeping and her room is full with dolls. I don't think you want to sleep in a room with dolls do you?" He askes. I shake my head 'no'. "That's what i thought. Goodnight to the both of you, have fun." and with that he leaves down the hall with his bowl of pasta.

I look back at Miles and a couple seconds we just stare at each other. "Let's get some sleep." Miles says breaking the silence. "Yeah" i whisper.

His room is really big. He closes the door and speak up again. "You can have the bed, i'll sleep on the floor." "Oh, no i don't want you to sleep on the floor. Let me sleep on the floor." i say. "No not happening." he says taking blackets from his closet. "No seriously, i am going to feel bad." I tell him and he smirks at me. "You don't have too."

"Let's just sleep togheter." I say and as soon as it lefts my mouth i realise what i said. "No, wait that came out wrong. I meant let's just sleep in the bed togheter, i don't mind really." I quickly say while looking away ignoring the blood rushing to my face. I hear him softly laugh and he says "okay, are you sure?" I nod a 'yes' and walk towards the bed.

He lays down first and i lay down next to him. I lay down facing him and he turns to face me too. I looked in his dark eyes and somehow i couldn't bring it to myself to look away. "What happened?" he askes for the third time today. I sight "You're not gonna sleep until you know huh." I say. "Nope"

It's quiet for a couple seconds. "Marcus." i said. "I got into that fight with my dad and walked to the beach. I swam in the sea, that's why i was so wet. When i got out of the sea and walked back Marcus showed up out of nowhere and just kinda dragged me over the border.
There were 2 other guys and togheter they took me to his house and locked me in a room."
At this point i swear i could feal Miles' mood change and his eyes grew even darker than before.
"His twins sister Andrea got me out and showed me the way out of the house. I kicked Marcus and left, and that's when i was lost and you found me." I finish my story.

He stays quiet for a couple minutes and the silence starts itching now. He just stares into space. "What are you thinking about?"
I ask him. "Marcus' funeral." He says dead serious.

He turns to me and says "Don't worry about him. Let's sleep now." I nod. I turn around facing the other way and close my eyes. It feels like i haven't slept in a week. That's how tired i am. "Goodnight Miles" i whisper so soft i'm suprised he'd heard me. "Goodnight Kaya."
