Into Your Eyes

Chapter 10

Alex POV

I was currently hugging a guy.

A guy that I only met yesterday.

A guy who knew my secret and basically threatened to tell the whole school about it if I didn't do what he wanted.

And now I was hugging him.

The logical part of me wants to run to the hills away from him while the stupid one wants to stay.

What in the all names of fuck is going on???!!

My mind kept screaming at me to fucking step away. However, my heart and body refused to listen. Archer smelled nice. He didn't smell like a forest shampoo or some expensive odor. He just smelled...

Oh, fuck it!

I really didn't know how he smelled but whatever brand of odor he was using, it was nice and relaxing. His hard rock chest was crushing my nonexistent one and I was clinging onto his shirt as my life depended on it. He made me feel safe and secure. His strong arms that were wrapped around me gave me a sense of security and peace. My face was crushed into his chest just above his heart that was really beating fast. However, instead of getting annoyed, it made me relaxed. It was beautiful. This feeling, here in his arms, was beautiful.

He was doing this to cover my face from the students that were entering the class. I shouldn't think much of it, really. I couldn't see because my eyes were shut tightly afraid that someone else would see. I did not need more on my plate.

Suddenly Archer's head was on top of mine and he..

Is he seriously sniffing me?!

"You smell so good"

He suddenly murmured and I swear that my heart was racing to some damned finish line. My face felt hot all over again and I could feel my eyes, that were returning to their hazel color just fine, change rapidly into red again.

I never knew why this would happen. It was true that I was experimented on but I never found the results of why would this happen.

Sometimes I would make my own theories. Like when I got angry my eyes always changed to red.

When I cry they change to blue.

It all had something to do with my emotions and I did not know why!! It was frustrating.

I just want answers.

Thanks to Mr. Asshole my eyes were red again and I swear that I could feel some holes in my head because of the stares we were getting. Plus, the more I stayed here in his arms the warmer I felt.

He started shifting his feet, still in the same position we were in, and started walking backward. We were stumbling a whole lot and I could feel the holes on my head double. I was afraid to open my eyes. I didn't want to risk it. We kept walking- stumbling against each other until finally, he stopped abruptly. He removed one arm and then-

Tick.

Something made a tick voice and his arm was back. I was tempted to sneak a peek about what was going on around me but I refrained. I still did not trust myself that my eyes were not red anymore.

"What did you tell Blake?"

I was surprised that he even saw me talking to Blake I made sure that there was no one, however; I guess I was not that sure.

Of course, he saw.

Blake and I had a small talk but I was not planning on telling Archer what we talked about. It was none of his business and I prefered that it would stay like this.

However, he had other plans.

His grip on me tightened and his voice went down a notch. It was husky and calming and very familiar yet I cannot seem to come to any conclusion.

"I said, what did you and Blake talk about?"

Oooh...I'm shaking.

Not.

"None of your business".

I could practically hear the waves of anger that were rolling out from him. But, It really is none of his business so yeah I'm not gonna say.

I heard him sigh and say something along the lines of you and trouble.

Whatever.

My eyes are back to normal so I open them and the first thing that I notice is black. Everything is black. I guess we are in the janitor's closet. I could see the outlines of Archer's body and when I tried to back away his grip on me tightened more.

"What are y-?"

"Stay. Just...Just a little more"

And there he goes saying stuff that makes my heart fall out of my chest and my face to go all red.

Including the eyes.

Fucking great.

I groaned loudly. Great. They had just turned to their normal color hazel a few seconds ago. They had to go and turn red again.

Damn it.

I stared at him as he lay his head on my shoulder. His dark hair brushing against my ear and my hand twitched. His breathing was coming out as hot pants on my neck making it red too. I involuntarily gripped the back of his shirt harder which made him raise his head to look at me. He kept gazing.

"What is it?"

Why was he staring?

"Your eyes are glowing."

He murmured softly before dipping his head again on my shoulder, leaving me a very warm and hot mess.

Why? What is he doing to me? What is going on?

He was gripping the fabric of my off shoulder really hard now and his breathing was coming out faster and in short pants. He started shaking. Like his whole body was shaking.

Was he having a panic attack?

Before I start panicking myself. I willed my body to move back a little so I could see him but he didn't allow me. His grip was iron on me.

"A-Archer? Are you ok?"

My voice seemed to pull him out of his state because he stopped shaking but his breathing was still coming out in short pants. Before I could say something else he pushed me away nearly making me fall. And left out of the closet.

He left.

Ignoring the small twist in my chest. I stepped out of the closet wondering what would cause him this attack and strolled down to my class.

A tiny part of me was hoping that he would be alright and I don't know why.

In fact, I don't want to know.

I just crushed this foolish part and kept going.
