Dark dreams

Me and Adam talk

He smiles at me, at first it looked kind of creepy, but then he shook the creepy smile off and added a happy smile. I didn't know what was going on.

"You can stay with me" He says. I smile and nod. He talks to me about how I had to behave around the college, and I couldn't wander around without permission. The conversation felt like it went on forever, and I was getting bored. After 20 minutes of him talking to me, he looked at me and his eyes were filled with fear and anger. A scared feeling started to creep into my stomach. "Can we go outside" I say suddenly. It felt right, but I didn't know why I said it. I didn't even want to go outside. He looks at me and nods. We get up and walk downstairs and out the front door.

I didn't expect her to be standing there in front of the building. I also didn't expect her to say what she did.

"He is the one who started this. He is the one who you should blame. And now you want to live with this monster, you should hate him! But instead, you hate me!" Mum yells, absolutely disgusted and angry.

I looked at her with confusion, I didn't know what she was talking about. No way was she talking about Adam. "What? He didn't tell you!" she says, anger boiling up inside of her small body. I turned to look at Adam, who looked like he just saw a ghost. And the he started to get angry, and then upset, and then nervous. He was going through so many emotions, it was crazy. It was scary.

"What is going on?" I whispered to Adam. He looked up at me, shame and guilt fell onto his face. I knew he was hiding something. He shook his head and looked back down at the shiny green grass, as if telling us he wasn't going to say another word.

"He made up that shadow man. He would hide in your closet, it started off being just a joke, but after a while it got serious. He got angry" She said, looking down at her black sandals. I took a deep breath, I felt disgusted and angry. I was angry at myself for coming here alone without telling mum. I was angry at Adam for lying and telling for stupid stories that were probably not true. And I was angry at mum for never telling me the truth.

"Tell me more" I said, walking over to her "Tell me everything" I say quietly. I grab my mums soft hand and walk away from Adam.

I wished I was never going to Adam ever again. I wish I would never be lied to again.
