"His smile and laugh. No I can't tell him" I said talking to myself quietly. Suddenly I heard footsteps and laughter come up the stairs to my room, I quickly wiped my tears. "hey! I've been looking everywhere for you! Where have you been?" he said with a worried look on his face. " Oh Hey..umm.. i was just .. my head hurts" I said faking a smile, again. "okay..do you want me to go? " He said. "Uhh..sure. Imma just go to sleep. " I answered. He turned around and closed the door behind him. The tears came back, but I was trying so hard to keep them back. But they didn't. "Why?, Why did you break the promise?, Why did you pinky promise if you didn't really mean to keep it?" I cried . I remembered that Sunday night I showed him the scars, and I looked down ashamed of what I've done. He lifted up my chin with his right hand and lifted up his sleeve. "Look" he said. I saw, I've known him since we were little. How could he not tell me? " Why?" I asked with tears in my eyes. "why didn't you tell me you did that?" he also asked with his eyes glowing like the stars in the dark dark night. He hugged me tight as if there was no tomorrow. "Promise me you'll never do it again..please promise me." he whispered in my ear. "I-I can't" I whispered crying trying to catch my breath. He got away from me , and looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes..he stuck up his pinky "Pinky promise me please..now." I couldn't. He knew the pinky promise meant a lot to me, he knew my mum and dad used that a lot to me, until they had an accident, the doctor lied to me saying it was all going to be okay. Until my aunt took me to visit them, and I was talking to them, but their eyes were closed, then I heard a sound "beeeep". Suddenly the doctors came in rushing and a nurse carried me away. "Mama! Daddy!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. The next day my aunt woke me up. "can I go see them now?" I asked. Then I realized her eyes, shes been crying. "what happened? " i said "honey, your mummys in heaven, and your daddy." She whispered. By the time, i thought it was cool, cos they'll see god. Until my cousin asked me where was my mum. I asked my aunt, and she said they'll never come back. "Niall..sorry, I can't" i said looking at him deeply. "please, I'll never do it if you don't do it." I cared about Niall. I lifted up my pinky, and intertwined it with his. "I promise." I said. Tears streamed down his face, while doubts kept racing in my mind. Please keep it. But that was in middle school. A long time from now, is he back it? All the clues I've seen. The long sleeve shirts, him not going for a swim with me like we always do. Millions of other reasons why. Even though I've been wanting to do it, I haven't. I gotta ask him. With the tears still in my eyes, I went to sleep. "Goodnight mummy and daddy" I whispered.
