Friends Forever?

Chapter 2

Many Months later

Life has been very tough here at the orphanage. I get more impatient as days pass by because I wanted to know what happened to me but I can't remember anything. Sadly I've come to accept the fact that this is my life. I mean I have an amazing best friend, he has been a blessing.

Although I keep hearing rumors about him saying he's heartless and cold. It was odd to hear those things because he is fun, caring, loving and funny. Well regardless of what they say Killian is awesome. Today our day started normal as usual, we all sat down at our desks and the teacher went on and started to teach.

Killian then passes me a note. "Wanna hang out at our spot during our break?" "Of course," I write back. He smiles at me and I nod. That's when the teacher walks out and Mrs. Potts walks in. "Everyone quiet," she says out loud and everyone settles down. "Today we have a new member here at Misthaven." Everyone starts to murmur.

"Sweetie come here," she says and in walks a girl with brown hair. "Everyone meet Belle." She stands there and she's shaking. That's when Mrs Potts gets called outside along with the teacher and leaves Belle alone in the front. "What's wrong newbie?" Minnick says and she starts to shake even more. Everyone starts to bash on her so I get up and walked to the front. "Shut it you guys," I say and grabbed her hand and escorted her to my seat.

Killian then grabs a chair and puts it next to my desk. "We don't have extra desks but you can share with me." She smiles and nods. "My name is Emma, and that's Killian." She nods. "Thanks," she quietly says. That's when everyone starts to gather around her and she starts to shake again. Then Killian stands up in front of us.

Everyone scoffs and they make their way back to their seats. "Don't worry Killian has our backs." She nods. Time passes by and it's night unfortunately Belle wasn't able to stay in my room but at least she's still my friend. Minutes passed by and all the girls were asleep which was a good time to sneak out.

Killian and I have been having sleep overs. We had a little hide out in the back part of the woods at the edge of the orphanage. We always go there, it's our second spot. Tonight we were just sitting there again asking questions to each other. "So what would we be the first place you would love to visit once you get out of here?" Killian asks and I leaned back against the wall and smiled. "The beach, I love the beach." He smiles.

"Really?" I nod. "I just love the smell of the salty waters, the sound of the waves, the shells, everything I just love it." He smiles. "And you?" "I like it too, I'm not a big fan of going to big places but yeah I say the beach would be a place I would go to." I smiled then yawned.

"We should probably get some sleep." I nod. We both laid down and grabbed our pillows and blankets. "Good night Emma." I smile. "Good night Killian." He smiles. Time passes by and I start to feel someone move. That's when I hear a scream. I wake up and looked at Killian. He had his eyes closed so this meant he was dreaming.

He was just hyperventilating and crying. I tried to shake him but he continued to scream. "Killian!" I screamed trying to get him to wake up. He woke up and tried to push me away. I grabbed him and I just hugged him. "Shhh shhh it's ok, it was a nightmare, I'm here," I say and caressed his cheek. He nods and he starts to go back to sleep.

I leaned against the wall while Killian had fallen asleep on my lap. I ran my hand through his hair and wondered what his nightmare was about. Before I knew it I had dozed off.

Next thing I knew I felt a ray of sunshine hit my face. I looked down and Killian was still asleep. I smiled. I start to shake him so he can wake up if not we will get in trouble. He slowly gets up and then smiles at me. "How you feeling?" He gives me a weird look. "You don't remember?" He sighs. "I had a nightmare huh?" I nod.

"You want to talk about it?" He sighs. "It's not that big of a deal it's just about a person that I lost." I nod. "Who was that?" He scoffs. "No one Emma." I nod. "I won't push you whenever you're ready you can talk to me." He smiles. "I think we should get going wouldn't want Mrs Potts to catch us in here." I nod.

I wonder who was the person that he lost? He seemed pretty mad when I asked. Well all I can do is be patient until he's ready to tell me and sadly I have all the time in the world because I will not be going anywhere.
