Saving Him.

Chapter Twenty Two

"I-I didn't make a deal with Zahra." Lane said with no emotion on his face. Why is he lying?

"Lane your lying!" I say with a hint of annoyance in my voice.

"How would you know if I made a deal with her?" Lane asked. "Which I didn't by the way."

I pulled up my sleeve, and showed him the same tattoo. "You get theses tattoo when you make a deal with Zahra, or any other spirits.." I said as he examined my tattoo.

"How do you know that?" Lane asked tracing my tattoo, like I did his.

"Lace-," I was about to say, then stopped my self. I was not about to tell him, I could talked to his dead sister. Atleast not yet. I didn't know how he was going to react. "The Voices told me."

His head snapped up and met my eyes. "What were you about to say?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked looking away from him..

"You were about to say something about Lacey..Weren't you?" He asked me.

"No." I said looking everywhere but him.

"Shay look at me." He says, and I shake my head no. "Shay look at me." He re-peats.

I hesitated to look at him, but I finally did.

"Y-yes?" I mumbled out.

"What were you going to say about Lacey?" He asked.

"Nothing!" I said.

"Shay! Your lying!" He says.

"Fine.....I-I was g-oing to say Lacey told me." I blurted out. Please don't let this be hard to tell him.

"S-so y-you can see and talk to Lacey?" He asked while his eyes become a bit watery.

"Yes." I said sighing. "And talk to her. I didn't wanna tell you because I was afraid of how you were gonna react.."

"Shay...i wish you would of told me..." He said looking away from me. He's right, I should of told him sooner. I was stupid not to. I was just scared of how he was going to react....I just I don't even know anymore. We didn't talk for a little bit, and the silence was killing me.

"Shay?" Lane finally spoke. I looked over at him as he looked at me.

"Yes?" I said biting my lip.

"D-do you think I could speak to Lacey?" Lane asked. "I meant not that I could hear her, but You could tell me what she's saying?"

He looked at me with hope in his eyes, and I smiled lightly.

"Yeah." I said nodding my head yes. "We can later tonight, or tomorrow."

He smiled. "Thank you Shay." He said wrapping his arms around me for a hug. I returned the hug, and wrapped my arms around his waist. We stayed like that for awhile, until the door opened.

"Uh am I interrupting something?" Callie asked. I let go of Lane, and shook my head no.

"No we were just hugging." I said smiling at Callie.

"Well sometimes hugging leads to other things." Callie said trailing off, and Lane laughed a bit. I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever." I said getting off the bed. "I have to go back to school. Lane do you wanna come?"

"Nah I think I'll just stay home today." Lane says. I nodded and gave him a half smile.

"I'll be downstairs." Callie says. "You comin Shay?"
