Chapter 11: Just Temporary

Tara's POV

*CRASH*

A loud shattered sound came right through my ears.

It was coming from the kitchen so I slowly walked inside there. And I could see a guy's shadow because of the light coming from outside the window...

Luckily, I felt the switch on the wall beside me and pressed it. I could only see the guy's back at first.

As I slowly walked closer, I saw a broken glass on the floor. I walked in front of him, stepping on the shattered pieces. 

His face lifted up...

"Nathan"  I realized as he looked at me deeply with his dark blue eyes.

Nathan's POV

*CRASH* 

My head hurt and my eyes were blurry. I held onto the counter beside me to balance my shaking body. As soon as I calmed, I opened my eyes. I looked down on the floor and saw shattered pieces of glass. My eyes gandered around the place, trying to remember what happened and how I got there. But only one thing was possible and that was..I shifted from my alter again. I looked back to the pieces on the floor, realizing that I, myself, probably broke it when my mind forced the other side of me to change into what I was now.

All of a sudden, the room lit up. I froze there, still staring down as I heard foot steps toward my direction. It was probably someone who lived in the house. I kept thinking on how I would explain the glass I broke.

Two foot stepped on the pieces which was in front of me. It was surely a female's.. the pink furry slippers would explain it.

I lifted my head up slowly to recognize her.

"Nathan" She discerned.

I stepped back as I realized it was Tara. She was wearing a loose sleeved pink shirt and shorts which bothered me a little.

But how could she recognize me that easily? Is my face really that serious compared to my other self? or she just simply feels my presence whenever I show up?

"What happened here? Are you okay?" She asked in concern, hesitating to touch me.

"I'm fine," I looked away and left the kitchen.

"Wait, Nathan!" She called as she followed me outside.

I paused and turned around, facing her with a slight shade of light from outside the window.

"Wh-where.. where are you going?" She queried.

"None of your business." I responded ruthlessly.

"Are you leaving?" She whispered, looking around at the surrounding darkness, pretty much concerned if anyone would hear us.

I ignored her and turned around as I took a step away from the light. But, she held my arm before I could take another pace to leave.

"Please.. you can't leave just like this.. I mean, Rose made sure everything's comfortable here for us! It's rude if you'll--"

She broke off her words when I suddenly gripped into her hand holding onto my arm, and threw it away with slight force. 

Tara's POV

My hand was shook off by him. He didn't say anything and just left from my sight. I felt offended and hurt. Was it because he was too rude? or was it because he left without even saying goodbye and didn't care?
