Healing a Silent Heart

Chapter 2

Here's chapter 2, like I said I've been working on this for awhile so I have a lot to transfer over from my word documents to Wattpad, I don't expect a lot of reads and a tone of likes but if I can get a few people who will like my stories even half as much as I like so many stories I've read since being here then I'll be very happy.

EDIT: Picture of Daniel's Wolf. Next chapter will be of Nathan's and I will add pictures of scenery or something as I see fit

Chapter 2 

It was Friday the end of the school week and I was ready for the weekend, James made me promise I’d go out with him to try out the new Pizza hut that just opened nearby. I haven’t gone out ever since…well awhile.

As I walked to school I found myself thinking of Daniel, and my face grew warm and I knew it wasn’t from the autumn air which was getting colder by the day.

Throughout the day I couldn’t help but notice Daniel hasn’t said much to me. He wouldn’t even meet my gaze his personality was so different then the beginning and I sighed, I knew it. I knew he would be the new popular guy. I was proven right when he didn’t come to library during lunch.

“Al.”

I jumped and turned, it was James tall and grinning. He normally couldn’t get in here as often now he joined the basketball team.

Hello James, it’s a surprise to see you here.

I wrote to him as he took a seat next to me. His eyes were looking serious and concerned a look that I’ve grown so familiar with.

“Hey…I saw Daniel with a crowd of people today. Guess you were right” he said to me slowly as if I would suddenly show a burst of emotion.

Only a matter of time before he would, I’m never wrong.

“I’ll be here for you” He said, his green eyes looking into my blue eyes. I always knew I could count on him and I felt like a fool. I almost believed that Daniel would be different, that he wouldn’t be like those other people.

I was pulled into his arms, my face pressed into his shoulder and I must admit I always felt safe here with James.  I looked into his warm green eyes and he seemed troubled but only held me tighter and felt him kiss the top of my head, I always accepted, almost welcomed his displays of affection. I always think it’s because I was too pathetic for my own good but he’s with me because we were practically raised together.

Thanks, you always with me.

I saw his face brightened and it made me happy, I always felt guilty for holding him down with my sadness.

“Of course Al” James said.

The two of us spent lunch together which I was grateful for, for some reason his company was greatly needed.

Later when school let out James was at my side holding my hand like he used to. “Let’s stop by the house and drop things off, tonight it’s just you and me” James said and pulling me along before I can even think to protest.

“Now listen here, I usually wouldn’t force you to go out anywhere but I think it’s time you start being back to your usual self again. Going out on weekends or at least on a Friday…I don’t remember the last time we hung out” James replied as he tugged me down the street till we finally made it to my house.

“I’m just going to drop my things off as well since I live right down the street” he said.

“I heard a voice…oh James, I haven’t seen you in here in ages” It was my mother who came out of her office, her face looked surprised to see him.
