a kiss goodnight

the eyes are real....

"Ashley's POV"

I fall back in shock . what the hell is on my neck? I think to myself as I slowly rise to my feet and look back into the mirror. This is going to far now yesterday the drawings now this I need to tell someone .... I thought to myself as I began to rush into my room . wait... "CARLO!" I exclaim . I literally launch myself onto my bed and yank my phone of charge and without thinking begin to ring Carlo . it didn't even occur to me that he could possibly be asleep. I then hesitantly begin to move the phone away from my ear but just before I was about to hang up I hear someone answer the phone.

"He-llo" I hear Carlo say through the phone.

"H-h -ey" I say trying not to sound shaky.

"Wait ash are you OK? " he asked sounding really worried

"Well....no not really " I say honestly beginning to tear up

"Oh my god what's wrong?" He said noe panicking

"I don't really want to talk about it over the phone ...." I reply

"Well if its ok with you I'll come to yours and we can talk for a bit before school . I woke up not long ago and I can't get back to sleep so it wouldn't be a problem. " he suggested

"Yeh that would really help thanks Carlo... My address is 54 dawnside drive" I say

" its no problem . I won't be long I'm just gonna get dressed and brush my teeth and I'll set off."

"Ok I'll make us some toast if u want " I reply

"That would be awesome . see you soon ash ."

"See you soon thank you again." I say removing the phone from my ear and hanging up . this was the first time I had ever asked anyone for help and it felt really nice to know someone cared. I got up off my bed and began to get dressed.I felt I little better about every thing that was happening but every time I heard even the slightest sound I would jump in shock and nearly fall over. *ping* I hear my phone go of and check to see Carlo jaf messaged me : " setting off noe won't be long ❤"
Seeing that he put a heart made my heart jump. "Wait ... Why did my heart jump?!?"I question myself as I make my way downstairs to make the toast.

((10 minutes later))
*nock nock*

I rush to the door and unlock it and slowly opening it to reveal Carlo standing there in his school uniform with a white carrier bag which looked extremely full. " ashhhhhh!"he shouted as he began to leap forward and hug me tight. I hesitate for a moment before hugging him back . "hey Carlo " I say as I realise myself form the hug and step back while looking at the floor. "Ash .. What's up" Carlo asked looking concerned . "I'll tell you while we eat." I reply " come on follow me " I close the door behind him and lead him into the kitchen were I had laid out two plates if golden buttered toast with strawberry jam . I sat on my chair and he sat opposite me . " OK so basically ...."

((1 or more later))

I explained everything about the dreams and the drawings and this morning all to Carlo and by the end of me explaining I had somehow managed to end up in his arms while balling my eyes out. "Ash .. Its OK " he said to me . he kissed me on the he'd and began to play with my hair . "I have similar experiences but not as strange as the ones you have. I've dreamed about you before though I know that." He said . I pull away from him and look up into his eyes. "Carlo... Why are you wearing contacts...." I say without thinking." How did you.." He began but the paused and sighed " I figured I would have to explain it at some point .well I was born with odd coloured eyes which drew a lot of attention . I got called creepy and strange because of them so when I was old enough I got contacts and since then I have been wearing them . to be honest your the first person to notice in 10 years..." He said "Carlo... Can I see your real eyes?..." I ask expecting him to say no . " you sure you want to .." He asked. I nod slowly . he turned his back to me . and when he turned back around I almost fell off my seat with shock . his eyes .. They were the same as the drawing. Not just a small resemblance but literally the same . I couldn't talk my eyes of of the blood red pupils. " there.. Beautiful" I say in awe Carlo opened his mouth in shock . "that's a first" he said smiling. I reach down onto the floor and grab out my sketch book and pencils. I scroll through the different pages while Carlo just stared and me clearly confused. I reach the page with the eyes and hold them up to the side of his face. " there the same " I exclaim "wait really?" He asked surprised. "W-would you mind if I drew them?" I ask him . "s-s-sure " he said clearly embarrassed. I could see his face blush . I giggle at him and then begin to sketch .

((A few hours pass))

I look down at my phone . wow they really are much more beautiful in person I thought not paying attention to the fact that it was already 7:50 . "oh SHIT!" I shout ."what is it?" Carlo asked "we are going to be late!" I shout. "SHIT" He exclaims. We both grab our bags and sprint out the door . I lock the door behind me and we run up my street laughing .
