Afraid (CreepyPasta love story ~Hoodie)

The 6th Day

It's been 5 days since I ran away.

5 days being with Mason.

The question he asked has never left my mind.

After him explaining himself, he took the small candle in his hand and showed me to a room next to his.
The windows were all boarded up and it looked like it's been waiting for me all this time.
It wasn't much, a mattress laid in the corner, a beaten up wooden dresser sat next to it with a candle stand on top.

I've been sleeping here for 5 days and Mason doesn't seem to sleep.

I can hear him roaming around and opening and closing the window.
I never asked him why he did this, but I was curious.

Tonight is the 6th night.
I think I might have an answer.

I sat in my "room" and waited till I heard him stand and shuffle to the window.
I walked to the doorway of the room and watched him try to open the window quietly.

"Mason.." I said.
I had a quiet voice and had my eyes focused on him.

He looked at me quickly.

His red eyes appeared and I looked away in surprise.

"I didn't mean to disturb you, I'll just ask when it's daylight." I turbed around and began to walk to the mattress that's now covered in my few belongings.

"Wait..Analease, please come back. I haven't heard a word for you since Monday." I heard him call out.

I just continued to walk to the bed and sat down.

I should have an answer by now.

Damn it Ana,
Why can't you do anything right? Or be quick enough?
He must of given up by now.

I scolded myself and hit my thigh.

I heard his footsteps draw closer and then I felt his arms around me.

"ahh..!" I exclaimed.

What is he doing.

What is he doing.

Why is he doing this.

Why is he hugging me.

What?

"Stop it. I am not angry with you Analease, please don't rush. Itd a very had decision, take your time.." Mason pleaded.

How did he know?

"What? How did y-"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to read your thoughts like that. I just..I'm just worried.." Mason cut me off.

Read my mind?

How in the world?

"I'm Sorry Mason. I just..I got angry at myself." I explained.
"Mason..?"

He let go of me and looked me with those red eyes.

"Mason I..I've been thinking." I laughed a little,
"I've been thinking about Monday night a lot. It hasn't left my mind and.."

He took off his mask and placed to the side. Now staring with his Grey eyes, hanging on to my words.

"I've be thinking and..and my answer..My answer is Yes."
I finally said it.

He is the reason why I still want to live.
He's the closest thing I have to being happy.

"I'd be glad to share this life with you.." I said looking at my hands,
"I'd be glad to be by your side...forever."
