Secrets Untold

Ch.13 Confirmation

~Liam~

I hate this

I absolutely hate this

I ran a hand through my disheveled hair and sighed in frustration as I walked silently in the hall heading into my class

Why didn't I just help him!

I banged the nearby locker and instantly regretted it feeling the pain course through my knuckles

I shook my hand in pain and gave it a little kiss as I lightly bang my head on the locker

"If I could have just helped Evan before that guy got all romantic with him, I might have actually had a chance with him.." I mumble to myself

I look at the ice pack I held in my left hand which was pretty much cold water now

If only I didn't run off to get this damned ice pack! Why didn't I actually speak to him first!

I raise my head and start to walk again as the bell rang

I'm late!

I ran down the hall but quickly halted once I heard muffled screams of pain coming from a room to the left of me

Without thinking I ran towards the music

As I reached the door the screams got significantly louder

If the voice didn't sound a bit masculine I would have probably confused it for a banshee that got lost

But before entering I peeked through the window and a smile crept unto my face

It was Evan biting a pillow as the Nurse was cleaning his deep wound before healing him

God may be giving me a chance here

I entered the room and suddenly all eyes were on me

The nurse suddenly went on a rant of how I should get to class; I ignored her and went straight to Evan who was looking up at me with that cute little expression on his face

I grabbed his hand and squeezed it as I smiled at him sincerely

By that point the nurse understood what was happening and went back after mumbling something about how lucky Evan was

Evan was still staring at me with widened eyes until he broke the silence

"W-Why are you here?"

"Is that really how you would greet a friend?" I squeezed his hand once again; he seems to be registering everything that was happening now, if his flushed cheeks were anything to go by

"Sorry it's j-just so that y-you know" He points his shaking finger at my hand

And I almost instantly placed them behind my back clasping both my hands together for good measure

"I'm so sorry about that, Evan! Trust me I don't know what came over me" I backed away with my stool fearing I might make matters worse

He mumbled something under his breath but couldn't quite catch it, but Evan quickly reassured me "It's f-fine! It didn't bother me too m-much..." His lips quivering in such an endearing manner it almost made me want to touch him again

My guilt subsides if only a bit the moment he said those words

I couldn't help but smile "You're too kind..."
