Auxilium Haven

05

I woke up tired for I was busy thinking of my brother. School is important but I don't want to come today. I just want to wait for Klein.

My phone suddenly rings and I pick it up.

The caller says unknown number. What? When did I give my phone number to a stranger?

"Hello?" I answered.

"IT'S 7:45 ALREADY YET YOU'RE NOT STILL HERE! YOU WENCH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?!" I put my phone away from my ears. The caller's Trisha. Is her number new?

"I don't want to go to school today."

"WOW! NEWS FLASH! RYAN'S ALSO NOT HERE BECAUSE HE'S WAITING FOR YOU OUTSIDE YOUR HOME!"she yelled.

"What?!"

I jumped off my bed and peeked outside. I can't see anyone.

"He's not there."

"CHECK IN FRONT OF YOUR GATE!"

I ran downstairs and quickly opened the gate. I saw Ryan sitting by the gate. He was wearing school uniform.

"Ryan! Why didn't you call me?"

He opened his eyes and smiled. He stood up to hug me.

"I'm hunging up. I'll tell our teachers you're sick."and she hung up.

I pushed Ryan to see him. So he's crying? I carressed his hair and smiled at him.

"Why did you wait for me?"

"I'm... tired,"he answered. I hummed. I let him continue and I pat his back slowly.

Even though he did not answer my question, I understood him. Crying makes a person stronger and holding it in makes a person weaker. I know there is always hope tomorrow and onwards.

I pulled Ryan inside my home and let him sit in the couch.

"I thought you don't want help from me?"

He smirked. "I'm stupid."

I slapped his arm. "Don't say that!"

He bowed his head and tears started to fall again. I sat beside him and pat his back. This is the only way to comfort him.

I flinched when he touched my cheek while intently looking at me. His tears continued to fall. I stopped patting his back and I looked away from him, making my face untouched.

"I think this is the only way to comfort me, Kaye,"his voice cracked. It seemed like he was pleading. I craned my neck to look at him again.

It happened so fast that I did not notice his face was only a few centimeters away from mine. His eyes were dark and in misery, I could tell. Tears were falling from his eyes.

I cupped his face and wiped his tears. I pulled away from his face for it was really near. He closed his eyes while I wiped it.

"Can you let me touch your lips?"he asked.

I looked at him, confused. "What?"

He opened his eyes and our lips met in a second. I was caught off guard, he was already holding both of my wrists.

I tried to pull away but he bit my lower lip. My mouth fell open because of the pain. I was already running out of breathe. I felt his tongue entered my mouth. What's happening right now? This is foreign and I hate it.

I tried to kick him using my free feet, but he's stronger.

I felt our teeth crashed with each other and I whimpered. It's so painful. My tears were starting to fall and I closed my eyes tightly. Why is he doing this?

I tried to pull my wrists but he held it tightly. He pushed me to lay down to the couch and his weight is all on me.

My breathe is starting to shorten. I whimpered. "Rya--"

He pushed his tongue all the way to my throat and I can't breathe anymore. My tears were falling. I felt my head spin. I don't have energy anymore.

As I got out of energy, he pulled away. I breathe heavily, panting.

"Thanks..."he said in a low voice.

I glared at him. "Are-- you out of your mind?!"

I wiped away my tears. I stood up and I walked to the kitchen. I took a cup and drank water.

Why did he do that? Is that normal just to comfort him? To kiss a girl?

I heard footsteps behind me and felt his arms hug me. I flinched when I felt his breathe against my nape. What is happening to Ryan? Why is he doing this to me?

"This is my other side that isn't Ryan... and I hate it."he whispered in my ears. I shivered.

What?
