I never knew why people in my town were so afraid of him. Maybe it was of what they accused him of or maybe it was just the way he looked; he always wore all black, his body was covered in black ink 50% with piercings in his nose and eyebrow. He seemed scary to some people but for me he was like a walking piece of art with two eyes that painted his black soul.

That night his eyes were as dark as the ocean on silent nights. It was like staring into a deep void that could easily consume and captivate anyone and anything. He was mysterious like the hidden creatures floating in black silk. But yet his eyes were still brown, not completely touched by darkness. I saw the sky in his eyes. The pale kind of brown that made you feel as if everything was alright. He was two colors that night and every shade in between those two.
I still can't remember how we ended up on the roof of his apartment but maybe it's because my life only started there.
''Calum?'' I said not daring to look at him, ''Yes?'' ''Why are people in this town so afraid of you?'' I ask and he scoffs like it was the most ridiculous question. I saw his head turn to me from the corner of my eye making me automaticlly turn mine. ''They're afraid of who I use to be,'' he shrugged he shoulders. ''Why?'' I asked
''(Y/N) my mind is a mess. There's a reason I don't let people in it.'' he said. I just simply nodded, ''See, there's a point in your life when you know who stays forever, and who's just around for a while. People change, but so do you. Sometimes for the best, and sometimes for the worst. Bad things happen to everyone, you're not in it alone. I try to forget about what happened, there are night's where I am wide awake at 4 in the morning. People are always going to be afraid of me no matter what I do, but I'm okay with it.''
In that moment and in that way I understood him. I placed my head on his shoulder and took a deep breath. The sad truth was I was falling for him, more faster then I probably should and it scared the crap out of me. He was truly different,so unique,so fascinating in a way that only my heart understood.
''I should probably get home, it's late.'' I whispered, ''I'll walk you home'' he whispered back. We walked down stairs to the main floor of the building and out side. He wrapped his leather jacket around my shoulders as we got out. ''I'm not c-'' ''Don't lie to me.'' he said and I smiled taking his jacket and putting it on me.
I didn't know what I saw in him yet but I knew that was all I needed. He took my hand in his and I looked down. I was shy, I didn't show it as much but I was. Especially around him because he was like this man that couldn't contain him self.
We walked up to the porch of my house and turned to each other, ''Thanks for tonight, my parent's are probably going to kill me but thank.'' I say and he smiles at me, ''I guess your welcome.'' ''Ow, here's your jacket.'' I say staring to pull the sleeves down, ''You should keep it.'' he says putting it back on you and fixing it, ''It looks better on you anyway.'' he says.
