Waiting To Forget

Chapter 15 Under The Surface

"Touch anything other than my burns and I will make sure you fly out that window."

He laughed as if it was a joke, but it was not.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

"You know, you say that yet it could be a lie. You are probably just like all the other guys. Saves a girl, sneaks into her room, visits her more than once. Yep, just like all the guys in my school."

"You say that yet you don't know me."

"How can I know you when you hide everything from me, that includes your face."

"Well like I said before, now is just not the right time to do it."

"Why's that?"

"Just because some things have come up and-."

"And now my point has been proven, you are hiding a lot of stuff from me."

"I will tell you when the time is right."

"As if there has ever been a point in time where my life was right."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I am gonna do what you do, I can't say."

He finished up with my ankles as he wrapped medical bandages around my leg.

"There, all done, does it feel better?"

I got up and started to walk around. I was surprised that I did not feel as much pain as I did before. As much as I hated to agree with him I nodded my head.

"A simple thank you would do." He got up and wiped his hands on his pants.

"Yes, thank you Mr. Stalker for taking me to my house and barging into my room while I had a towel on."

"Not the kind of thank you I was expecting for but that will do. Plus, how was I supposed to know you were in a towel?"

"The question you should ask yourself is why would you go into a girl's room without them knowing."

He stood there for a while thinking to himself.

"Exactly, you don't have any excuse."

"Alright I admit it but I just wanted to talk to you for a little bit."

"I think we have talked enough for today. It's probably really late and I have a lot to deal with tomorrow."

He took his phone out of his pocket and checked the time.

"It's only eleven o'clock, it's not that late."

"Oh, well by this time I go to sleep."

"How about until at least eleven thirty."

"I guess, I don't really have anything to check the time."

"What, do you not have a phone or something?"

I should not have to tell him because the answer is clear as day.

"Oh, I didn't mean to offend you, I just thought-."

"That I had a phone? You know not everyone can have what you got."

"Sorry, I did not mean it that way."

"It does not matter anyway."

"But, what do you do when your bored, whenever you need someone to talk to. When you are in a rough position and you need help."

"Nothing, I let it happen. Plus, I am never going to have everything you do. I don't have a phone, or a car, or anything else. Let's just leave it at that."
