Take Me Away

Keep It A Secret -Chapter 6-

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"Aidan?" I said out loud trying to extended my quiet voice to penetrate Aidan's emotions but in the second I blinked and opened my eyes, he was no longer standing there. Yet again another experience leaving my mind boggling with questions.

"The heck?" is all I could spit out. Maybe I'm seeing things...maybe this parasite thing is already affecting my mind and eyes....maybe I miss him? No, impossible I don't know him, hes just another pretty face I seem to be obsessed with.

"I'm going crazy." I claimed, as I got up out of my chair.

"I'm sorry, but I need to go straighten things out in my head, things aren't starting to make sense and this relationship is starting to go way too fast for me, and things aren't going well for me and I just need some time!" I spoke hurried, the bloody tears escaped my eyes as I said the last words.

Shane ignored my words and pulled me into a tight hug, his warm body heat radiated onto me, he tried comforting me, making circles with his hand on my back massaging my skin, twirling my black hair in his fingers. As much as I tried to stop, my tears free fell from my eyes slamming into Shane's shoulder making wet circles in his green shirt. I sobbed feeling a heaviness in my chest, holding on to Shane even tighter to extract my pain.

The clock chimed in my heart, swinging back and forth as again reminding me the amount of time I have left to live.

'7 months!' it screams in my head then laughing maniacally enjoying my sorrow.

"7months." I whispered feeling the thick air I saddened swirling around me.

I raised my head and took a peak over Shanes shoulder, many slowed down and stared at me with confusion but just kept walking away not caring about the random crying girl.

"Tell me what's wrong." Shane demanded as he whispered in my ear, his warm soothing breath brushed against my neck and cheek.

"I only have 7months to live..." I said through my trembling lip, my voice shaky, my body stressed with emotions. I covered my face with my hands.

Shane pulled me closer. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry."

"That wont make a change!" I said harshly as I pushed him away from me, I didn't dare face him, not wanting to see his eyes gleaming with sadness I kept my focus on the ground. "Please just take me home, I don't want to be here any more."

I heard him play with his car keys and he walked off to the exit, I followed him feeling like a lost stray puppy longing for love, attention, and hope.

Tears kept slipping out of my eyes, as much as I wanted them to stop, they slowly dripped down my face, streaming down my cheek, trying to flush out my heart that is flooded with these salty droplets.

Shane went directly to his side of the car and sat down in the drivers seat, roughly closing the car door.

I opened the door and sat down closing the door lightly, not wanting to play this stupid game with him.

The car ride back home was absolutely silent.

I was deep in my own thoughts to pay attention to his frustrated and thinkative body language.

We arrived to my house. I shifted out of the car, Shane grabbed my arm before I stepped out.

"I'm sorry for overreacting, I tend to do that." He admitted.

"It's fine." I said in an octave higher than my normal voice, trying to pull away from my true feelings.

He didn't take it and gave me a suspicious look, and softened up to a pity look. "Text me."
