Chapter 12: Two Weeks After

Shadows Point of View

     It's been two weeks since I've seen Dizzy last,  or even talk to her. When we went back to Curl Up and Dye she was gone, but we still robbed the joint.

     I'm at my house right now in my room and drawing. I'm also thinking one heck of a lot.  I've been avoiding Gil since what had happened,  but when I don't really have a choice to be around him,  I keep my distance. Yes he has tried talking to me,  not even July about the- uh yeah, what happened.. Gil had been acting a bit off,  maybe it's just me,  but I've noticed whenever he makes a joke or just says something funny and I don't laugh,  he notices and stops smiling right away... I honestly feel a tinsy bit bad for avoiding him,  but what happens, happens.

     I woke up today with high hopes, but those were crushed because Uma had to work. I actually asked Uma to give me lessons with a sword when she got a chance, she said yes and we have practiced 4 times since,  but she had to cancel today.

     "Shadow, you up there?" someone yells from the streets,  not Gil's voice,  but it belongs to Harry. I jump at the sudden sound and snap my head at the balcony doors. Should I just ignore him? Yeah,  he should go away soon enough.

      After a minute or so I believe that Harry has left and Im fine to just go back to drawing again.  This time my drawing is a heart with chains and a lock in the middle. It's going well so far.

                     Tap Tap

     Once again,  I jump at the sudden noise,  this time it's coming from my bedroom door. I sigh and scowl slightly. I get up and walk to the door and put my ear up to the door to try to see if anyone was talking from the other side,  so Id know who it is,  but there is a complete silence.

     "Who is it?!" I look back at the door instead of keeping my ear to the door. 

      "Your father, your friends are here to see you." My father's voice erupts from the other side.  I turn around quickly and get to my bed as silently as possible.  I fix my hair to look normal.

    "Come in." The door opens and my dad leans against the doorway.

     "Can you please tell them Im not here?" I pout at him,  I only ever say please to certain people. My father just shakes his head,  turns around, walks down the stairs, and out of sight. I furrow my eyebrows,  but quickly realize that they are already in my doorway and walking into my room.

     They? Yes, they. Harry and his sister CJ. I've never really spoken to CJ before,  I'm intrigued slightly.

     "Nah,  you I change my mind,  you can handle this yourself," and with that CJ runs out of the room and out of the house.  (A/N- Sorry,  wasn't sure how to portray her character) I look up at Harry,  who is looking back at the door where his sister just was,  and he sighs while turning back to me.

     I furrow my eyebrows once again whither confusion,  still staring at Harry. He looks me straight in the eye. This is probably going to be something important, I mean,  he got his sister to come with him to do this. Hmmm.

     "Okay,  first of all Gil wants to talk to you, you should talk to him or give cut you with my hook, " he says in a very calm manner, "Uma wants to know if you can meet her around midnight on the ship to make up for the cancellation, I suggest you take it,  Uma isn't always ask kind." He finishes, really that was it,  he had his sister come for that?! No wonder she told him that he could do it himself.

     I shrug and give a small smile, looking into the beautiful blue eyes of Harry's. I wish,  I wish that I could kiss him right now,  he probably hates me, he thinks I like Gil-Well I do,  but not as much as him. God I hate feelings!

     "Sure, why not! I say, and blush slightly, while looking down to my hands in my lap. He stands where he was for a good five minutes. Then, I got enough courage to look back up at him, he stares at me with an intense look. After that he just nods and walks away. I'm pretty happy about getting a reschedule for the lesson.

   Little did I know what tonight would bring ...
