Dark Place

Chapter V: Deceiver

"So you do have some balls" said Aaliyah. Leo looked a little shocked but reverted his face back to a confident look. "So you knew" Leo whispered. "I never presume what someone's like when I've only just meet them" Aaliyah whispered softly in Leos' ear.

She felt him tense and smiled. She'd made him a little excited. She put her hand on his leg and whispered "Why don't we talk some more on this later." "S-sure" replied Leo flustered. When Aaliyah pulled back she saw Leos' face was as red as a tomato. She laughed. "W-whats' so funny" said Leo a little angry.

"Oh nothing" replied Aaliyah with a broad grin on her face. "He probably thinks I'm a whore now but I've got him hooked" thought Aaliyah. "I'll find out what his motives are and show him who's in charge here. I'll show him he can't just use me like some doll." "Hey what are you two whispering about over there" ask Kayla. "Don't tell me you two are..."

"N-NO!" Yell Aaliyah and Leo frantically. "So Leo" said Travis, "where are you from?" Oh uh I'm frooomm...Pennsylvania. "He's lying. It took him way to long to answer. He's bad at lying. Does that mean he really is shy? Does he have split personalities or something?" Thought Aaliyah questionably. Actually Aaliyah wasn't that far off when. In a way Leo did have a split personality. But it was far more complicated than that for him.

"So why did you move here?" Asked Kayla curiously. "Uh my parents thought it be a nice change of senery" Leo sad with a twitchy smile. "What was your old town like?" Said Hayden. "Uh it." Leo suddenly dropped his head and said "It was beutifull. My back yard was connected to the woods. I'd run through them everyday and play by myself. I...I didn't really have any friends."

As leo said this his hair fell over his face but not before Aaliyah saw the deep anguish in his eyes. Her heart throb and she was a little shocked at that. She didn't care about much anymore. Even if she wanted to care she couldn't. She could barley laughed anymore because of the numb feeling. She wanted so badly to huge him but was not sure he'd let her. They had only met so they weren't that comfortable with each other yet. Even through it felt wrong she felt it was also so right. She hugged him anyway and felt his warmth.

He was taken aback a little. She kind of lied across him, her head was parellel to his though. Through it felt to soon to be this touchy, he didn't mind. A sweat smile spread across his face as he hug her back gently. Aaliyahs' friends sat there taken aback as well but said nothing. They felt that this moment was to be undisturbed. They stayed like that for a moment. But suddenly Leo felt a pain and had to let go no matter how much he didn't want to. He moved his hand to her shoulder and gave it a small squeeze. Aaliyah sat back and suddenly blushed. Leo was so happy that he smiled widely.

Leo leaned forward and whispered soft and sweetly in Aaliyahs ear, "Thank you." Aaliyah then smiled uncontrollably. It was such and beutiful smile. Leo loved it and was suprised for he didn't know why he loved it so.
