Her Eyes.

Chapter 5

Noah's POV

After school I'd left with Anna and we were on her way to her house. I knew she didn't like talking much. I didn't pressure her to think she had to fill the silence. The silence could speak for itself. It always did.

I never thought that she would actually agree to helping me. I mean I wasn't really failing science, I just needed a starting point. Spending time with her would supposedly help her and me. I knew she was hurting inside, breaking, tearing apart.

I knew she put up a front so that no one could see who she truly was. We never really know everything that goes on around us. We just look once and already judge. Society has taught us these things. It has taught us to look and judge, assume and not listen and to criticize not support.

We are all damaged, whether physically, mentally or emotionally. Not everything is in our control. We might think we can control the way we feel but we can't. No matter how hard you try to control your feelings, they can never be controlled.

As we arrived upon her house, I parked on the side and looked at it properly. It was a modern Double Story house that was at least 4 times smaller than my house. As we entered  you could hear no sound which meant she was alone.

"Follow me" She said above a whisper.

I followed her upstairs to what seemed to be her bedroom. As she opened the door you could see it was all blue. My mind probably expected it to be pink and girly but I knew otherwise. Anna was different and her room could justify that.

She had shelves full of books stacked to the far right corner and a desk near them. There was a white door not far from her bed, that looked like a walk in closet. The washroom was on the left and and her bed in the middle of the room. Everything was in different shades of blue making it look even more spectacular.

"You have a pretty nice room here" I told her cause honestly it was. I heard her mumble a soft thank you before she went to sit on her bed. I took the chair from her desk and brought it close to her bed.

As she started explaining the work, I couldn't help but wonder how someone like her would be broken inside. When we had entered her room, thinking that I wasn't looking she had turned down a photo frame that was near her bed. It was as if she didn't want me to know, like she was protecting something.

But I knew better 'cause of my curiosity. I'd find out who was in the frame and why she didn't want me too see. I kept on nodding and mumbling a few times so she thought I was listening.

I want her to heal. Just like I did, to find the light. I needed to help her save herself without losing myself. I believed that she would one day be happy. That she would smile wholeheartedly and sincerely. That she would laugh and cry tears of joy not pain and sorrow.

We all have our own ways to do things. We have our own way to express what we feel inside. Most of us cry when in pain, some laugh- surprisingly and some shut ourselves. It's not wrong to cry or feel pain. Crying does not mean weakness, it proves that you're human and can feel.

I was brought out of my reverie when Anna asked me a question I unfortunately didn't hear. I wonder if she thought I was listening the whole time.

"Sorry could you please repeat that." I asked kindly not wanting her to feel bad 'cause I wasn't listening.

"I said I'm done and asked if you wanted something to eat.." She said trailing off as if she wasn't sure or didn't want me to reject her offer.

"Of course, something to eat would be great." I said nonchalantly easing out any sense of awkwardness. She got of her bed and started walking out of her room and I packed my notes and books back in my backpack.

I was tempted to go up to her bed and see the photo frame. I knew it was wrong to invade her privacy but I really needed to see. After giving up and not wanting Anna too wait for to long I left her room not touching the frame.

As I came downstairs and went to the kitchen which I Impressively found, she was already making food. Since I wanted to get to know her better, I sat on a chair by the island and watched her.

"Can we play 20 questions please." I said pleading.

"U-Uh sure." She said stuttering.

"What's your favourite food?" I asked

"French Fries, you?" She said softly

"Pizza, Nutella or Peanutbutter?"

"Peanutbutter" She said excitedly

"Well that's a first." I said now realizing how different she was. Most girls would've said Nutella, but I wasn't one to judge.

"If you could be anywhere else right now, where would it be?" I asked. She hesitated a bit but shook it off. It was as if she was contemplating what to say, or the right words to use.

"I dont know...a peaceful place filled with happiness and love." She said. I knew there was a double meaning to what she said but kept quite.

I checked the time and saw that I had to get home. Anna must of noticed because she said.

"You should probably get going." I know me and her are not friends yet but she said it weirdly. As if she was used to people walking out of her life.

"Yeah I should, I'll see you tomorrow." I said as she walked me out till the front door.

"Okay bye Noah" She said

"Take care" I said getting into the car and speeding off.

Patience was all I needed now.
