Hidden Voice

Chapter 9- Two Young Hearts

I'm fully healed. I'm perfectly health now, thanks to doctor Grey. I'm smiling more, much more, all thanks to him. I've noticed he's been smiling more too. His smile makes me smile. Its always been that way. But sadly, its a school day. We're walking into school together, like always. I hear a teacher call out to us, I turn my head. "Why are you two holding hands?" Mrs. Stringer, my reading teacher said in the most disgusted voice I've ever heard. "Because we're dating..?" I say to her. "Oh so you two think you're "in love" too?" She says, using air quotes. I'm taken aback from her sarcastic question. "Well, yeah. We are. Is there a probably Mrs. Stringer? I ask, with a little tone in my voice. "Yes, no one your age can be in love. HA! You don't even know what love is!" She snorts. I'm angered and slightly triggered. I'm always told I can't be in love by my mother. Now its Mrs. Stringer, the most hated teacher in school. I grab Grey's hand tightly and drag him into the music room with me. Him, being the clueless dork he is, had no idea what was going on. But as soon as I dragged him into the room and wrapped my arms around him tightly, he could tell I was hurt. He rubbed my back, comforting me. I felt a little better, having him right there, making me feel safe. "Its okay baby, I'm right here, its okay." His softly words made me feel better. He takes my hand and pulls me to the piano, sitting me down and he started to play the beginning of Two Young Hearts by Sabrina Carpenter. I smiles softly and sang along to his playing...

"It's a narrow line I'm walkin'
Better watch my step
Cuz we got everybody talkin'
And I can hear 'em say

Maybe in another lifetime
Maybe when you're older
What they don't know is
I've already made up my mind (my mind)
And yes I know what love is

Cuz we are two old souls,
With two young hearts
We can run, I will follow you to the end of the earth
Where we can see forever,
They can never tear us apart
Two old souls,
With two young hearts
Two young hearts

They say we're too young
I could lie awake in darkness
Oh just to dream of you
And you could lay your head on my chest
Yeah, just like you always do

Maybe in another lifetime
Maybe when we're older
At least we know that
We've already made up our minds
And yes we know what love is

Cuz we are two old souls,
With two young hearts
We can run, I will follow you to the end of the earth
Where we can see forever,
They can never tear us apart
Two old souls,
With two young hearts
Two young hearts

We're gonna keep on runnin'
Runnin' for all that we are
We want it all or nothing
We knew it right from the start
We are apart of something
Something as old as time, time, time

Cuz we are two old souls
With two young hearts
We can run, I will follow you to the end of the earth
Where we can see forever,
They can never tear us apart
Two old souls,
With two young hearts
Two young hearts

You're never too young..."

I smile widely at his adorable, dorkie face. I kiss his cheek and hug him tightly. "I love you so much." I tell him, truthfully. "I love you so much too Baby." He tells me back. He makes me feel better just by a smile. He doesn't understand how much I love him. Hopefully, one day he will.
