Secrets

Chapter 28

*Caroline's P.O.V*

"Bye, Auntie." I smiled waving to her as I got out of the car. I slammed the door shut and lugged my bag higher onto my shoulder. I winced because of the bruise that had formed there as well. I started walking up the dusty path until I saw the sign of my school. It was pretty busy already, students getting back from break, couples sitting on eachother.

Where was Niall when I needed him.

I walked into the main building, retrieved my keys from the dorm advisor and started walking to my room.

I felt someone tug onto my bag and I turned around, it was Eleanor.

"El!" I screeched running into her arms. She tightened her grip around my waist making me yelp in pain.

'What did I do?" She looked at me concerned grazing her fingers on my hip. I shut my eyes trying to block out the shot's of pain that went up my spine. Why was I in so much pain?

"N-nothing." I reassured. She nodded probably trying to get off of the subject, it would be akward for me to if I was hurting someone after a hug. I walked with her into the room, it was clean, and smelled like freshly done sheets.

"Good to be back. Eh?" El smiled. I nodded dropping my things onto my bed. My pictures, computer, and book shelf filled with my favorite novels still laid in the corner of my room.

"Well, I'm heading to the gym. Join me?" El said pulling some spandex out of her bag.

"No thanks. I'm gunna go look for Niall."

"Okay, babe. See you later." She left swinging her clothing in her hands. She was so fast paced, always on the move. But she got it good, her body was amazing. She was stunning period.

I walked into the bathroom, atleast now I was able to move without killing myself. I searched my face, my bruise was pretty well hidden with foundation. I lifted my sweater up revealing the cut on my hip bone. It was pretty deep still, and a bruise surrounded the indented skin. I winced while running my fingers over the outline of the gash. I ran some water over it cleaning it out and placed a bandage on it. I applied more foundation onto my eye and headed out the door.

*Niall's P.O.V*

"Bye, Mate." I waved to Harry as he dissipated out of the room. I think he was going to meet up with one of his many girlfriends. Probably at the gym or something. I changed into sweats that hugged my torso leaving my V-line showing. I put a white-tshirt on and sat on my stomach on the bed. My arms sprawled out, and the TV remote in my hand I was prepared to watch a few seasons of 'Big Bang Theory'

Right as I had finished the first season I heard a knock at my door. I looked through the little key hole and saw Caroline fiddling with the edge of her sweater looking straight at the wood. I opened up the door and wrapped my arms around her before she could attempt at moving.

"I missed you so much," I mumbled into her shirt. She still smelled like her usual perfume, and her soft hair touched my forehead. I heard a little yelp emerge from her lips and her eyes were shut. I slowly removed my body from hers and examined her face.

"Whats wrong?" I questioned pulling her into my room.

"N-nothing? Why do you think something is wrong? I'm perfectly fine, no more then fine. Awesome."

"You're babbling." I chuckled grazing my fingers over her jaw line. I noticed caked make up over her eyes. "Why do you have all this make up on you?" I wiped some off revealing a light blue color on her skin.

"What the hell?" I breathed out as she winced at my touch. She was silent, deathly silent.

"Caroline? What the hell happend!?" I repeated.

"I ran into a wall." She defended.

"How on earth did you manage that?"

"I had my suitcase in my hands and didn't see it as I was walking foreward."

"Hm.." I muttered suspiciously."Let me go get you some ice." She nodded and layed on her back onto the bed.

I left into bathroom wetting a cloth and getting some ice from the machine outside of my room, I appliied some into the cold cloth and walked back into the room.

"Here," I placed it on her forehead and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Just kiss me, I've been waiting for those lips for to long." She pressed her lips to mine and I felt her hand twitch by my hip.

I was hurting her.

"Just lay down, we can kiss when your better." I laid her head back down onto the pillow, kissed her forehead and let her watch the TV in silence.

"I missed you too." She whispered.
