My Secret Is Out

It's been three days since I got back. And I haven't seen Will since I told him about James. Maybe he's scared of me. Or he just decided he doesn't care anymore. Whatever the reason, I haven't seen him. Only this one girl, who woke me up, (ugh) made me eat the nasty healthy food, (Ugh) and told me when to sleep. (UGH) I'd gotten used to her... Mostly. Her name's Diana Patterson. She's got straight hair, blonde, brown, all mixed together. She's beautiful to put it simply. But I still wished Will was here instead of her. She's nice, and funny, don't get me wrong... but... Will's Will. And I REALLY hate to admit it... but I kinda miss him. A little.

"Quit your daydreaming and let's go!" Diana says, shaking her head, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. I roll my eyes. I don't think I've been talking much. And I'm not sure why. I decide to talk... but my throat tightens. My eyes widen. This doesn't feel natural...not at all. It feels like someone is half-choking me. Grabbing a notepad, I write I can barely breathe. Something in throat. Help. I hand it to Diana, and then I cough. I try to say something, anything... but my throat tightens even more. I give up, and focus on my breathing. Diana had grabbed my hand and started leading me to the infirmary. We stand in front of the door, Diana is banging so hard, I bet she's gonna have bruises later.

"What is-" Will starts, before Diana shoves him, and pulls me in. She hands him the note I wrote, and makes me sit down. It's so white in here, and I'm the only person, aside from Will and Diana, in the entire room. Will picks me up, and lays me in a Scanning Machine... I have no idea what it's called. I try to say something, and my throat constricts to the point where I can't breathe at all. I close my mouth and can suddenly breathe again. I gasp for air, and his eyes widen in panic. He tells me to stay still, but I can barely hear him. My blood is pounding in my ears. I steady my breathing as best I can and relax. Then, he pushes me in.

Lights flash, buttons beep, and the metal bar swishes around. I hear shouts for help, people moving. And then I'm out again. I'm picked up, and carried to... an operating table?! Doctors are gathered around me, face masks making them look like aliens. Evil Aliens. From Mars. I try to get up, but Will pushes me down. I try to say stop, and once again, I can't breathe. I close my mouth, calm myself, and take a breath. What is wrong with me? They stick a syringe in my forearm. (It stings, I hate needles- cue the angry face) Black edges form, and they creep around until only Will is there, holding my hand, telling me to live. Only him... and then nothing. Nothing at all.

**Three days later**

I woke up an hour ago. Only, no one was here, and no one has come to get me. I'm humming The Final Countdown by Europe. A black box is on a tray right next to me on the bedside table. I want to see Will... but I already ruined that-didn't I? I sigh. Someone better come, or I'm escaping. Escaping. I swing my legs over, and stand on my feet. And then I fall. I'm becoming weak. I stand again, and walk slowly to the door. I push open the door, just as someone pulls it. I fall and strong arms catch me. I shove away from him. It would have been okay if that was Will. I glance behind him and see Lianna. My eyes widen. What's she doing with this guy?

"I told you she was awake." The guy says. He has a deep voice... I prefer Will.

"Kilee! I was so worried! And... um..." She blushes, and then I look at the guy, and her, and then the guy, and then her again. Oh. Oh yes. Lianna's got a boyfriend. I smile evilly. Unfortunately, she picks up on my evil vibes.

"Oh, nope! Don't you dare! Or I'll show Will those pictures of you!" She threatens. I flush. I guess I do like him, but I refuse to let her see that. I scoff, but she smirks.

"I saw you pale just then. You like him and you know it!"

"I do not."

"Yes you do!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Yes huh!"

"Nope."

"Yep."

"Girl, you crazy!"

"Nope, you're just in love!" She draws out the word love and I slap her arm.

"I am not!" My voice goes up a bit higher.

"Admit it. You like Will!" She says, giggling.

"Ahem." Oh crap. "What are you doing up, Ki? And hey, Matt. I heard you were dating Lianna." Will stands, arms crossed, a smirk on his face. I'd forgotten ... Matt? was even there. Oops.

"Yeah, she's really pretty and sweet." He pulls her to him. Uck. If they kiss, I'll barf. He leans down... and I bump between them. I hook my arm in Lianna's and say, "Time for some girl talk! Buh-bye!"

***

"If you admit you like him, I'll leave you alone. Promise." I scowl. That's not good enough.

"No. Pinky Promise. Then, okay." She sticks her pinky out, and I curl mine around hers. It's settled. "Okay, I like him."

"I knew it! And I've got it recorded!" Wait. WHAT?!

"... If you show him, I shall murder you with my icicle." I say, glaring at her. She just smiles.

"He likes you, too."

"Liar."

"I'm not lying!"

"You're totally lying." I say, and she sighs.

"Just wait." Then she runs away. With the recording on her phone. Crap.

I spot Kabal down in the gardens. Walking with a girl. Zoey. Gosh, does everybody have a girl/boy friend but me? Geez. I walk back to my room. Forget this. I sit on my bed. I get up and pace. The boredom is killing me. I need some air. I walk out of my room, and head to the garden. I walk around there, in the artificial sunlight, but it's not enough. I need a map of the place. Smiling, I walk to the control room. There's bound to be a map there. When I reach the door, I took out my hairclip and unlocked the door. I pull back my hair and stick my hairclip back in. I look around and spot a piece of paper sticking out. It must be a map! I pull it out and stare at it. It's not a map.

"What is this ...?" I whisper. But I know the answer. It's a file on me. My name, age, birthdate, parents, past 'crimes'. Everything. I can't bring myself to feel angry. Hurt is all I feel.

I throw it in the trash, and I bolt out of there. I run and run and run, until I'm at a set of doors.

I go through, and then I'm on a balcony. I breathe in the night air. It calms me to the core. I sit on the ground, and look at the moon. I'm only in shorts and a T-Shirt; I'm glad it's warmer out tonight. A tear escapes my eye; I'm so tired of keeping secrets, but I can't tell Will because he'll judge me. They all will. I did what I had to do. He would've hurt Liz. I didn't mean to kill him, but if he hadn't lunged, he'd be alive. I just wish Will would understand. Will... I really like him. Ever since I told him about James, he's been avoiding me. I didn't mean to tell him. I wipe my eyes, and just stare at the moon.

"Kilee? Is that you?" I jump at the sounds of his voice.

"Will? What are you doing out here?" I ask, surprised he knew where I was.

"Well.. I just saw you running, and... I wanted to make sure you were okay." He walks over to me, and sits down, bumping my shoulder.

"I'm fine." I say, feeling a little happy he would come out here to find me.

"You're really pretty, you know?" He says. I look over at him in surprise, and he blushes even more.

"You're handsome, too." I say, bumping his shoulder a bit. He looks at me, and I turn to look at him. He starts to say something, then stops.

"What is it?" I ask, smiling slightly. Then, he does the most unexpected thing, I could think of.
