Why?

Why? Ch. 5 Worried

Chapter 5: Worried

Tristan's POV

I am up and ready to go to school today. I don't know why, but I get excited on school day mornings. I, Tristan Grey, am excited for school. That has never happened to me before. I think it has something to do with Emilia. Maybe. Do I have feelings for her? Yes. No. Maybe. I don't know! It's so confusing.

I have never been in love before. Wait. Do I love Emilia? I haven't even known her so long. But, she makes me feel happy. Even when I just think of her.

Ugh! I gotta make up my mind! This is making me sound like a girl! Ok. Stop. Just save that thought for later.

I didn't know I was just staring into space and having different expressions while my mom was looking at me. She had a confused expression on her face. She said,"Tris? Whats wrong?"

"It's nothing mom. Just a little girl trouble." I smiled at her.

She smiled when I said girl."Girl trouble? I never heard of Tristan Grey having girl trouble. So, who is she?" She asked.

I knew she was just going to ask and ask and ask about her so I said,"Bye mom. Gotta go to school. Don't wanna be late."

Her expression fell and then she said,"Ok, honey. I am going to find out who that girl is, you know." I knew she was really going to find out, so I just went to school.

I was waiting for Emilia by her locker when the bell rang.'Huh. She must be late.' I thought. So, I went to class.

Lunch was here and there is still no sign of Emilia. I had that nagging feeling in my stomach that something's wrong. 'Maybe she is just sick. Ok. There is nothing to worry about. Wait. She's sick. Why wouldn't I worry about her?'

'Calm down Tristan. She is ok. She will be fine. Somebody else is taking care of her.' when I thought of that, I immediately disliked somebody else taking care of her.'Wait. Am I jealous? Yes. So I do have feelings for her. Maybe. Ok! Fine! Yes! I do. Ok. Stop worrying. She will come back. I just need to get in contact with her.' with that thought, I nodded to myself.

'Wait. I don't think anybody has her number. Wait. Does she even have a phone? I don't see her using it. And I see her after school when she is walking home. Ok. I know. I'm kinda like a stalker. I can't help it. I like her that much. Ok. I really do like her. Ok. So, I can't have her phone number and I don't know where she lives. Great! I have no other options. I guess I just wait. I can do that.'

I stopped thinking about her and carried on with my life.

A week has passed and every morning I wait for her by her locker. Where I never see her. I look at her table by the trash bins every lunch. Where I still don't see her. And I wait by the exit every after school, to see if she just got late and stayed at the library at lunch. Where I STILL don't see her.

Where is she? Is she ok? Why isn't she here? Why doesn't she have a phone? Why don't I know where she lives when I'm kind of like a stalker? Aren't stalkers suppose to know where the person they're stalking lives?

Ugh! I'm going crazy!

I was about to give up on waiting by her locker when I saw her.

I rubbed my eyes to see if I was hallucinating. My eyes really weren't deceiving me.

I ran to her and gave her a big bear hug! I felt an electric shock pass by me when I hugged her.

I said,"Where were you Emilia? Why were you absent? I was worried sick! I couldn't contact you. Or go to your house. I thought you were dead. I missed you so much." I murmured the last part.

Emilia's POV

I was discharged from the hospital yesterday and was going back to school.

I was going to my locker when I was suddenly hugged.

I didn't know who hugged me so I just stood there shocked. I felt a jolt of electricity run through me when I was hugged.

I heard him say,"Where were you Emilia? Why were you absent? I was worried sick! I couldn't contact you. Or go to your house.I thought you were dead." There was something more but I didn't catch it. So it was somebody who knew me and only one person knows me here. Even the teachers don't know me well. Tristan. It warmed my heart to know that he was worried about me. He is the first person to worry about me after my parents.

The hug hurt a little because of my bruises. I then said,"Tristan, you're crushing me." He released me from his grip and I looked around us. There weren't many people in the hallway so I turned to face him.

"You were worried?" I asked in a quiet voice.

He smiled and said,"Yes. I was. Now answer my questions."

I returned the smile and said,"I was at the hospital because I got beat by two people. It's ok though. Im fine. I didn't get to see their faces, so I don't know who they are. I have no enemies. I think they were just drunk. But, even though if there are people looking for them and they found the two people who beat me, I still won't press any charges."

His expression changed from happy to angry and he said,"When I find them, I will kill them."

"It's fine. I told you that there is no need. And if you do kill them, that won't make you better than them. It means that you are just like them." I told him and I held his hand in a comforting matter.

He softened his gaze and said,"You are the most amazingly understanding person I have ever met." he sent me a breathtaking smile. I had to catch my breath and I also smiled at him.

He hugged me again and I asked,"Why are you hugging me? It's no big deal. I was just gone for a week. And you don't even know me that well." I was wondering if he had feelings for me and shook my head at the thought.

He said,"I feel like I've known you all my life. I just missed you." My heart warmed again from hearing him say that.

I then said,"Come on. Let's get to class. Don't wanna be late do we?" I smiled at him.

He grinned and said,"Ok. Let's go."

He then lead me to class. We sat beside each other and started talking. Waiting for the teacher to come in and start the class.

I felt like this is the start of a great friendship.
