Love Me In Silence.

Love Me In Silence. Chapter Seven.

Chapter Seven (All I Want – A Day To Remember)

July 31st

Another week passed after knowing that Heath was leaving in five months. He didn't talk to me, he knew I didn't want him to. Good, that made things a lot easier on me at least. I mean I knew this would happen. Just like I said, right after I let someone in, they are taken away from me. So why let Heath all the way in? I mean, yeah, sharing a room with him was a little weird. It was only weird, because now we don't talk whatsoever. We were back in Beth and Jacob's house. I was getting nervous about school tomorrow. It will be the first time I've been to public school since second grade, when I had my parents. I flinched at the thought of them. I shook my head. Get them out of your head, I thought demanding. I hadn't thought of them in years.

I'd be a sophomore tomorrow. Holy crap. I'm terrified.

There was a knock on the door, and I called for them to come in. Heath slowly walked a few steps into the room. He looked at me sadly. I looked back at him closely and I knew that he had been crying. I sighed, I really hurt him.

“Dinner's done.” he whispered and then walked out.

Maybe it wasn't me. I mean, he's had a lot on his shoulders lately. He had to get a job to save up money for a apartment for January. He's had to sit with some people and talk about how he was going to afford to go to a local College. He's gotten really stressed, he doesn't exactly know what he is going to do.

I through the clothes that I was looking at on my bed and walked down the stairs to the dining room.

We slowly ate. Beth and Jacob always sending a concerned look at Heath. Kate and Ben silently joking between themselves.

“Heath, Evelyn, aren't you excited about tomorrow?” Beth asks, just hoping to get an answer out of either of us.

“Yeah, I have a few friends down here, it'll be good to catch up.” Heath muttered. Lucky! I thought. I didn't know a single soul, and I had a feeling that I wouldn't be liked. I didn't have the smallest clue of why I thought this though.

I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of my alarm clock. I groaned. Fuck school, I thought, I want sleep. I re closed my eyes with a smile as I felt pure warmth from something beside me, and I snuggled closer. I heard a thumping sound grow faster and faster. My forehead creased, wondering what that was.

“Why the hell are you in my bed, Evelyn?” I heard whisper voice in my ear. Heath. The thumping was Heath's heartbeat? Why did it fasten? Maybe I scared him, because I was in his bed. Yeah, that had to be it.

What! I was in his bed! I opened my eyes, and I was right next to Heath. When I say right next to Heath, I mean all over Heath! I screamed and jumped out of his bed, looking at my bed on the other side confused.

“I went to bed there,” I said pointing my bed, “you know I did! I wouldn't just get in bed with anyone,” I shook my head noticing how wrong that sounded, “I swear! Heath I didn't mean to, I don't know what happened!”. I was out of breathe, I was freaking out. How did that happen? He thought I just climbed in bed with him? Well I sure as hell didn't! I stopped going on about it in my head when I heard Heath chuckling to himself.
