Hidden

Chapter 12.

I tried to play off the day as normal as it good be, but, the voice still lurked in my head, replaying over, and over, and over again. I was off in my own world, not paying attention to the outside. A large hand grasped my arm tightly and pulled me over. I gave a furious look at the strange boy.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?!" He screamed. He took a breath. "I'm sorry I just freaked but, you almost walked out infront of a car." He studied my eyes. He was beautiful, light brown hair, with blonde highlights. Stunning green eyes; his face was chiseled like stone; his lips were a shade of Amber. "Are you alright? Miss..?" His lips curled into a smile, showing his beautiful white teeth.

"I..I.." I was stunned by his beauty. Why did I have to make such a fool out of myself? I'm ruined my first impression. "I'm fine, thank you. And the name is Coraline." I looked away, my face was hot. If I made eye contact I would be locked.

"I'm Tom, and I've heard about you, Coraline Waters..right?" His face light up I was curious on how, and why he knew my name.

"Umm.. Yes, how do you know my name?" The words spit out, I was embarrassed but I needed to know.

"Everyone is talking about the new Waters family, and on how beautiful their daughter is." His face turned a little red, I blushed. I heard voice, it was close, as though the person speaking was whispering in my ear.

"Don't talk to him. He doesn't love you, I do." The words didn't click with me.

"What?" My lips parted and out came that. Tom gave me a weird look. " I.. I gotta go, see you tomorrow?" I stuttered. Making a complete fool out of myself, again.

"Yeah, sure." With that, I ran home.

I closed my door behind me. I sat on the floor. I closed my eyes. I got a crystal clear image, I was in someone's body, wearing a light pink dress. I was hiding, in a closet. I saw a young lady with dark brown hair, blue eyes, and some freckles of what I could see. She had a knife. She was walking over to a bed, she slowly pulled the covers down. And jabbed whatever was there. I felt a scream build up in my throat. Tears streaming down my face on to the floor. The lady ran. I waited. I heard her leaving. I came out of the closet, I made way to the bed, where I saw the familiar boy named Harry laying there with a wound on his chest. His white shirt was ruined.

"Do you remember now?" A sad voice said. I snapped out of the dream I was in.

"Yes.. I do. Now, show yourself." I demanded. I had the urge to see him, to want him. Just one more time.

"As you wish." The voice said. Then a cloud of dust formed. Little pieces of dust soon formed into a figure of Harry. His beautiful face was so clear. He smiled, and his dimples followed. Harry placed his hand in my hair. He lifted little strands of my hair. "I've been longing to see you." He said. His voice was velvet. I felt a scream build up in me once again.

"I.. I need to ask you something." I whispered, not being able to make a loud enough sound.

"Of course, ask anything you desire." He smiled. I exhaled.

"Who was that lady.. You stabbed you..?" I asked. Harry looked down, his facial expressions were sad.

"Why must you ask that darling?" His jaw tightened. As much as I could see.

"I want to know." I said plainly.

"Okay, love. I'll tell you." He looked up. "She was my mother, I was ill. But I was recovering. She just didn't want to see me recover. She didn't love me. She always abused me. So, she finally had enough of me. But, you didn't. You adored me. Loved me. Never hurt me. You gave me the love I never had. But, you helped plan my murder with my mother." He looked at me.

"What? What do you mean I helped plan your murder?" My eyebrows pulled together.

"I wasn't very good to you, I was a drunk aswell. I would always sleep around with other women. But you stayed with me. That's all that matters now, you can't take it back, and I forgive you." He smiled; his eyes sparkled.

"Are you planning on killing me? Getting your revenge on me?" I was worried, and scared.

"No, no. Darling. I forgave you. I'm not going to kill you silly. I love you and I could never do that to you." He placed his hands on my face. "Can I kiss you?" He asked. I nodded my head in fear. "Close your eyes." He whispered. I did as told. I felt a cold sensation on my lips.
