Midnight Eyes

Chapter 4

The next morning I got a call from the hospital. "Hello?" I said. "Hi, Is this Shaylee Kane?" A woman asked. "Um, yeah. Whats going on?" I asked. "Your friend Nolan Tomas isn't going to be released today." She said. "What?Why not?" I insisted. "Late last night after we told him his father was still out there on the run, he went into shock." she said somberly. "I don't understand..." I said. "He hasn't woken up yet and were worried about him." she said. A tear rolled down my cheek. "But why? Why did he go into shock!?" I said crying. "We think its because of everything going on right now, his father attscking them, him being stabbed..." she said. "Alright...Just....call if you have anything more on him..." I sobbed quietly. "We will dear." she said. I hung up the phone snd stared into space all day long.

After a week I still hadn't heard anything from the hospital or Nolan.

"RING RING!" My home phone rang. "Hello?" I said. "Meet me in the park."  it was Zanna. "Hey Zanna why? Whats going on?" I asked."I just miss you. She said and hung up.  When I got to the park I looked around no Zanna.I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned. "Ahh!" I screamed. Zanna popped up behind me with a huge smile on her face. "Shaylee?Look." she smiled big and pointed behind me. There sitting on the park fountain was Nolan, standing there smiling. I ran to him. "Nolan! Are you alright! God you had me scared half to death! Did they catch your dad?" I asked all at once. "Slow down there Shay." He smiled. "Yeah they're locking him up for a while." he said with a dark expression, "Hey, Nolan?" I said nervously. "Yeah Shaylee?" he looked at me. "I need to tell you something...important." I said. "Whats up?" he said. "I...well....you can't tell a soul or I will die." i said softly. "Never." he smiled. "The reason I understand so well...is because I'm a freak." I said. "What are talking about?" he said. "I'm not normal like you." I said. "Wait you think I'm a freak just because of my leg?" He backed away. "No Nolan, thats not what I meant..." I said softly. "Well Shay. Whats different about you?" he asked in an iritated voice. "I'm...different..." I said as I slowly took off my sunglasses. I opened my blackened eyes. "I'm ugly and-" my words were cut off by Nolan's lips pressing against mine.  He pulled away. And looked me straight into my midnight eyes. "I've loved you from the day we ran into each other, and you eyes are beautiful." he said softly as he pressed his lips to mine again.  I hugged him. "I love you" I whispered in his ear.
