Chapter 7~ Leo's pov.
That was literally the best experience ever. The judges were so nice and Simon pressed the golden buzzer. It was literally so fun. I can't wait for round 2. I was so panicky and thought that they were going to hate us and tell us to go back to school and come back after our education was done, but I was wrong. I'm just hoping Lydia won't mind us being on her favourite show. What am I on about, of course she won't mind. She will be so proud of us and excited for us aswell. My phone vibrates in my hand. I have a text from Lydia.
'Lydia❤️💖❤️️: Hey Leo ❤️❤️. What happened today?'
What does she mean? What happened today?
'Me: Hey love ❤️💕. What do you mean?'
'Lydia❤️💖❤️️: Heyyy heyyy. When you nod your head yes!'
Ok she has changed the subject.
'Me: But you wanna say no. What do you mean, about what happened today?'
I'm so smart I changed the subject back.
'Lydia❤️💖❤️: I heard that you were doing something exciting today.'
Who told her? Oh poo. I've been caught.
'Me: Who told you that? X'
'Lydia❤️️💖❤️️: Skye, Charlie told her so she told me. Must go. Love you❤️❤️.'
What? Charlie said he wouldn't tell anyone. I can't believe it! Why would he tell Skye of all people. This is outrageous. I'll have to speak to him. His phone light is still on, he must still be awake.
"Charlie, are you awake?" I whisper.
"Yeah what do you want?" He replies with no emotion, in a complete flat tone.
"Did you tell Skye?" I ask as subtly as I could.
"Tell Skye what? I don't talk to her anymore, what with her going to Spain and her boyfriend." He says in a completely truthful voice. So he probably isn't lying. Lydia must have found out on her own and then lied to cover up. I feel like I can't trust her if she is gonna lie. But I love her to pieces. Lydia is my world.
"Earth to Leo, what did I apparently tell Skye?" Charlie clicks his fingers  in front of my face.
"Oh, that we were doing something exciting today." I reply with what Lydia had text me.
"No. I have only spoken to you and mum about today. She must have overheard us talking about it." Why is Charlie so smart? I know he is two years older than me but still. He thinks things out in tough situations. I just go assuming things and hurting people.
"Ok, sorry for accusing you of telling Skye. I shouldn't jump to conclusions." I say feeling embarrassed and annoyed that I can never get anything right.

Lydia's pov
I can't believe we are in a relationship and lying to each other. I lied to him saying that Charlie told Skye and she told me. Then he is denying anything happening tonight. I heard him and Charlie talking about it the other day. I hope it is a good cause to lie. I am so bad a girlfriend.
I mean it could be because I am feeling so messed up at the moment. There is three questions that cannot be answered. The questions are all able to be described and why I feel like it, but these three questions are what is bugging me. Question one: Does he have kids or close relatives? Because if he does then my life is over. Question two: What is going to happen when I find out about what Leo and Charlie did tonight? That could end up in them having done something terrible or splendid. It could be life changing. And finally, question three: What is going to happen when he moves in? It will be torture, my life will be ruined.
***11:59pm***
I have not slept a wink. People say I need sleep to be human. I just can't sleep. It is impossible to actually shut my eyes without the fear falling over me. It feels like a heavy, thick, black cloud, drifting in front of me, shaking me, tearing me apart. I just wish I could tell someone. I don't really want to tell Leo or Charlie as they have been keeping something from me, also they are not the best listeners and will probably not even hear all of it. I can't tell mum, she will panic and refuse to let me out of her sight. I can't tell Skye, she's to wrapped up with her boyfriend nowadays. That leaves no one.
***1:17***
I still haven't been to sleep. I am really tired, but I can't sleep. Put it this way, I am scared. I have just been reading books. I have read about three books. Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone, The Hunger Games Catching Fire and Jane Eire. I am so tired I might actually be able to sleep without the fear. I think I'll try. I close my eyes, instantly regretting it. The thick, black hand drags me in. The pain shoots through my body, the fear rushes through my blood. My body heat rises. I start to sweat.
As I get pulled closer, by the thick, black hand, I smell the breath of fear. All around me I smell fear. I try to wake up, but I feel like I am trapped in the dream. The pitch black of night is all I can see, but I can feel the thick, rubbery, black fingers tightening around my body. It is petrifying.
I then realise I can see, the devil (Satan) is standing there, right in front of me. I want to scream, but I can't open my mouth. This is why I never sleep...

Authors note~ hey guys, sorry for the long wait, I had writers block, I was trying to think of something, then this idea popped up. I hope you are all enjoying the book so far. That dream sounds scary, I wouldn't like to be in Lydia's position then.
Anyway. Hope you liked it, look forward tho the comments.
Thanks for reading- Xx
