Her Eyes.

Chapter 6

Anna's POV

I don't know what it was about Noah that made him so special. He seemed to understand that you didn't always have to talk. Try and fill the silence. You just had to embrace it. With him I felt the need to talk cause it felt right. I was confused to why he made me feel this way.

When he'd asked me where I wished to be, it just triggered something in me. My heart sunk because I already knew where I wanted to be. With him.
I couldn't honestly tell Noah that so I told him half the truth.

My mom and Miles had come back a few minutes ago and were in the living room watching television. I walked in and sat beside my mom. Miles was on the carpet playing with his lego toys and acting out a scene.

"So Miles how's first grade going.?" I asked him.

"It's going really great, I have friends and they're twins! can you believe that, I have double friends." He said excitedly. I laughed a bit at how he referred his friends as 'double' friends.

"And what are your double friends name's?" I asked still amused by this.

"Kyle and Kylie, Kyle is a boy and Kylie is a girl or is it the other way around..." He said trailing off looking puzzled. Mom and I laughed at how cute he was. Sure is interesting to be a kid. I wished things were easier then they seemed to be. I wanted to be a kid again but I knew that would never happen.

"Honey how are things with you?" My asked me with concern in her eyes. I didn't like it when she looked at me like that. It made me feel like I was a burden. I wouldn't say that to her either way I still had to tell her.

"Things are going quite fine." I said calmly so she would believe me. She looked at me for a while as if she could see through the lies. Knowing my mom she dropped it and changed the topic.

"Your fathers coming back in a few days!" She said happily with a sparkle in her eyes. My dad had left 2 weeks ago for one of his business trips in LA. I knew my mom missed him but she'd never admit it. You could see the longing in her eyes that she did.

"That's good, I really miss him." I said feeling a bit better that and dad was coming back home. Since he'd left, I didn't talk to anyone else that much. My dad and I had a stronger bond than me and my mom. I knew it hurt her but I was helpless.

"Me too, what are you doing Thursday after school?" She asked me. I already knew she wanted me to do something for her. Mothers.

"Nothing, why ask?" I hope it isn't bad as what she asked me to do last time. Thinking about it made me shiver in disgust.

"I want you to pick up Miles from his friends house that afternoon." She said. I loved my mom but sometimes they need to think about how much things they ask us to do.

"Sure." I said. Saying no would be rude me, plus I had nothing to do so I didn't mind.

"Thank you honey." She said gratefully.

"Well I'm going to go sleep, see you guys in the morning." I said getting up giving my mom a kiss on the chick and ruffling Miles hair. I was quite tired so I went up to my room and laid on my bed.

We all have things that we fear either someone or anything at all. Even though it is a fear of heights or spiders it was still fear. I was scared of the dark. Only my family knew that and didn't tease me about it.

I know I'm old and all but that didn't change anything. I feared the dark, I feared what was in the dark. The darkness had already consumed me and being in the dark would just make me insane.

I left the light on and got into my bed. After reading Paper Towns my eyes felt heavy and tired. I closed my book and put it on my nightstand and settled in my bed. With the thought of finding hope, the darkness consumed me.

Noah's POV

After coming back from Anna's house I ate dinner and went to sleep. Today was Saturday and as usual I hang out with the boys. We were currently in an ice cream shop not far from her house.

We ordered and sat at a booth near the window. From here you could see everything and everyone outside. As we were chatting a click of heels was heard as it got louder, nearing our table. I felt a presence behind but paid no mind to it as I looked at Luke and Jakes blank expressions.

A strong scent of perfume hit my nose almost making me want to puke. Luke and Jakes eyes lightened up at whoever was behind me. Giving in I looked back and was met with Katlyn Spencer and her minions Reece, Brooklyn and Zoe.

"Well hello there gentleman." She said with her high pitched voice. Katlyn was your typical stereotypical blonde,mean cheerleader who's quite popular, has boys falling to her knees and all that. She lived up to that stereotype. I felt sad for her cause as observent as I am, I saw through her act.

Her true self was hidden behind that act, behind all the makeup and clothes. I wonder why she choose to live that way. She could've easily been herself and not someone she's not. I wasn't fond of pretentious people cause it showed that you were not happy with yourself. That being you was not enough.

"Hey" The three of us greeted, already annoyed by her presence.

"So I'm having a party later tonight, you guys should totally come it's going to be lit." She said too enthusiastically. She was trying really hard to flirt whilst batting her eyelashes. I'm pretty sure she didn't sound like that. Even Barbie sounds better than this.

"Sure hotstuff we'll be there." Luke said to her. Leave it to Luke to answer her.

"Bye!" She all but yelled and left with her minions trailing behind her.

For the rest of our time we sat there and chatted more about sports and all. I thought I'd seen Anna walk into a Café ealier but wasn't too sure. I wonder what she was doing right now.

I hope she finds her peace.
