Girl in the Hoodie ||Raura||

Four

2 weeks later

Laura & I have been communicating through paper still, I have come to actually like it. At least it's better than not talking at all. We still get to know each other. It's been getting better, she looks at me now. I see the emotion in her face now.

I have come to find out that she has brown eyes, like me. They're beautiful, like, call me cheesy, the stars can't be compared.

We are meeting at our usual place, we decided after thinking outside the shop was the wrong location, simple because after an hour or two more students arrive, and Laura once ran to get away. I ran after her of course & that's how we came to this three.

The area where the tree was, it was quite. No one around us, there was no-one to bother us. Laura & I could just sit around and communicate through paper.

Right now. We are sitting on the leaves as it's in Autumn, I sit here looking at her, I hear her sigh, I scoot closer to here. Even the sigh was a break-through. I lightly sighed myself looking up to the sky, no, I wasn't copying, nope, of course not.

"Different" she looks at her hands, playing with her fingers.

"What's different exactly?" she didn't reply, I thought for a moment that I had maybe pushed the limit, well, come to think of it, I haven't spoken to her verbally before.

"The last couple of weeks" I nodded, knowing fine well she can't see me, since she is facing away from me a little.

"How?" this time I wasn't going to wait, as I got up and sat down not in-front of her, but near her knees, I let my knee brush against her telling her I was there for her.

"You" I gave her a shocked face, as I was genuinely confused & shocked at her response.

"Care to explain?" She shook her head, taking out the paper and started writing, I guess the verbal communication is now over, but the one I did notice, is that Laura has the most beautiful and smooth voice I have ever off, I could easily tell she was a beautiful singer, I know, I have never heard her sing, but I can just tell, as I am one myself, I don't sing a lot in public anymore anyway.

A few moments later she handed the paper, and it read;

'You made the past couple of weeks different for me because you've never once left my side, even when I ran from the other students, you chased me and stayed with me, I feel like your protecting me, I don't get why, honestly, I am not worth protecting, never have been, just a girl, in a school, in a hoodie, because I am scared to show the world who the girl they don't know is hiding behind fabric, I would show myself, but no one has shown that they've cared enough for me to do so...apart from you, you've stayed. I don't know how to repay you for that, I can't thank you enough, so I was going to say, you can leave me now, I have put you through enough pain and stress to last you a life time'

I was honestly and truthfully shocked reading this, I sat down on the leaves in-front of her and gently pushed her hood back, she looked at me, but what surprised me was she didn't stop me.

"Laura, I am not leaving you, I was never planning on leaving you. Considering you haven't been verbally speaking to me, I feel as if you mean a lot to me, your special to me, and yes, I do feel as if I want to protect you, but that's because I want to protect those who I love, I want to be able to protect those I care about, your one of them Laura" she kept staring at me, probably trying to wonder if I was taking the piss, I kept my eyes on hers, telling her I was being serious.

Next thing I knew, her arms were around my neck, her face in the crook of my neck, she was cuddling into me. I wrapped my arms around her small body, this....felt right.
