Feathers

Chapter 8

I just stared at him for a minute before I started laughing.

"You're not serious," I said while I was laughing. But he just stared at me looking serious. And seriously hot he looked. I stopped laughing and looked at him.

"Y-you're not joking?" I asked. He shook his head. But I mean with everything that happened in the past 24 hours I had to believe him at this point.

But I refused.

I refused everything. Everything that happened needed to leave and disappear from my mind. My thoughts. I could only refuse.

I looked to the ground in shock. So many questions flooded my mind. I started to get a headache. I put my hands on my head in disbelief. I was starting to get stressed with everything that was going on. I took a deep breath as I tried to recap everything that just happened.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"At this point, I don't know how I feel," I said. "I'm too scared to go back to sleep," I turned my head to look at him.

"And I refuse to believe you, Aries Dark. . . I refuse to believe that all that has happend to me in the last 30 hours was real. . .

I got up and started walking around. Whenever I start to feel too stressed out I always needed to walk around. It helps me clear my head. I bit my lower lip in uneasiness. That's when he exhaled a huge breath and walked over to me.

He grabbed my shoulders and made me face him.

"But I am real" He said. He slowly grabbed my right hand and up it on his chest. I felt his heart beating. His hand was warm.

He. . . Felt safe.

I felt. . . Safe.

We stood there for a minute just looking in each other's eyes. I continued you feel his heart beat.

"I can also help you sleep," He said calmly.

"W-what?" I asked in confusion. By surprise, I let out a small yelp as he suddenly picked me up bridal style and carried me back to the bed. I was blushing madly as he laid me down. He walked over to the light switch and turned out the lights.

He walked back over to my bed and took his shoes off, climbed to the other side of the bed. The side closest the the wall and layed down. He wasn't touching me. In fact he layed closer to the wall than to me, but when I rolled over to face him, he was very close to my body. We where just inches apart but never touching.

The moon was bright to night. The light poured into my bedroom making me almost see everything if turned back around.

"T-this is weird," I said. I could see Aries rolling his eyes.

"Just roll over and go to sleep," He said sarcastically. With no other options, I just rolled over. My head was spinning and I was blushing way too much. But I felt safe that there was someone there to protect me. Even if that someone was Aries Dark.

I tried to fight my tiredness but it got the best of me and my eyes closed into the dark.

I didn't dream, which was a good thing. I felt way to scared to dream.

I cursed at myself for not being brave.

But who could feel brave when all you've seen was hell and horror?

I opened my eyes to my alarm going off. I started to remember what happened last night. My face exploded with redness. That Aries came over, and "helped" me fall asleep.

I didn't know what he did. But I felt safe and at peace  when he was around.

I quickly turned my alarm off and rolled over. But there wasn't anyone there. No beautiful face of his was anywhere to be found. I lifted my heavy body out of bed as I started to get ready for the day.

After my quick shower, I decided to just put on a gray sweater and ripped black jeans.

I walked downstairs to find my mom making coffee in the kitchen.

"So, how was your night? Dear?" She said with a smile. She turned her head to look at me.

"It was alright," I said as I was grabbing my backpack and car keys.

"That's good. Anyway, I have to start packing for my trip, ill be leaving Friday. Two more daysssss," she said with a smile. I just rolled my eyes.

Just a week till spring break.

I just have to survive till then. I thought to myself.

I was also wondering if I should or shouldn't go to Chloe's party. I would have to talk to Bree about it.

As I told my mother goodbye and drove off, I took the long way to school. It was a different road. The compete opposite of the road i went on last night. I didn't want to go near the road where I saw that creature from hell.
