Blind

Twisted

Hopes mind hurt. A throbbing spread from the base of her skull to the top and across her neck. Massaging her temples increased the pain and she decided to keep her head in her hands. After Aiden had found her, she was reduced to a mess and his perfect face revealed none of his past. She envied him, one look at someone and she feared everyone would know her twisted secret. At home now, an hour later she wished for an escape. A latch or secret door of which she could leave all her secrets behind. She wanted peace from the raging storm inside of her. The guilt of her dad's death weighed so heavily on her. She was sure she would crumble against the building pressure. She tried best to avoid the simple question: What happened to you?

She thought of making an elaborate plan. Hers had so far had been such as:

I got lost and didn't know where I was.

I had a fight with a guy and ran off.

I was kidnapped and let go In the green waters forest.

I was held hostage.

The endless unknown which was Hopes life scared her. These situations then led to a list of other questions she had no where near thought of.

Which guy?

Why did you get lost in a forest that isn't near your house?

These filled Hopes nightmares.

After Aiden found her in the hall at school she left immediately and a day later she lay in bed wearing her comfy PetersAlexander Pjs. Sprawled on her bed she closed her green eyes which in the past days had lost their sparkle. When a knock sounded on the door she shooed her mother away. After laying on her bed thinking about her life another knock sounded on the door.
"Hope, someone's at the door for you!" Her mum called in a dreary voice.

Hope hadn't thought about how much Hopes depression right now was mentally draining her also.

Sighing Hope trudged through the house to answer the door. She had been so caught up in thinking she hadn't thought of who would answer the door and what she was wearing until it was too late....

The door opens and who stands in her driveway??

Aiden Thomas

When seeing his face she jams her body on the other side of the door her face deeply flushing.

"Nice jammies." He says, chuckling richly.

80° 90° 120°

Hopes face was getting hotter by the minute. Wearing a thin white thirst and dark jeans he looks striking and Hope hates to admit it.

Darn it Hope curses under her breath.

"Why are you here?!" Hope exclaims before biting her lip.

"I wanted to check on you." He said.

Man he looks goooddddd Hope thinks.
ahhhhh she internally cursed.

"You didn't have to do that she gasped." over whelmed by his thoughtfulness.

"I wanted too." He said. Grey eyes searching hears.

"Hey, would you come to the movies with me sometime?" He asked staring intently at her

But before she could reply a dark shadow invaded her peripheral vision.
A click. Blood. A gun. Before she could push Aiden to the ground he encircled Hope with his body with his body. A shout. A bang. And Aiden crumples to the ground. Blood oozes out of his side and his eyes staring blankly ahead. The metallic clash of blood invades Hopes nose and she reels back. Shouting out to her mum, she crumpled by Aidens side, her hands pressing against his stomach where a dark ring of blood appears. Hope squeezes her eyes shut and let's the tears violently flow. Looming back down at Aiden she can still hear his heart beating faintly. Crouching on the door mat, sitting in Aidens pooling blood, his eyes flicker open for a moment.

"Is that a yes?" He says before his body gives way and into unconsciousness.

Too be continued.....

Hope you all like it. There will be more soon xx
