Half A Heart

Feelings

Carol POV

I woke up with the best feeling ever.

It was the first time I actually woke up with a genuine smile on my face after mum died.

I went straight into the shower,I took care of my hair and wore my pink short and purple shirt.

It was a Saturday and I was hoping to spend the day getting to know Reid better.

I opened my door and I couldn't help but look at Reid door.

I wasn't sure if he was still sleeping but I decided to knock anyway.

I knocked twice and it seem nobody was going to open up.

I sigh,just then the door flew open.

Standing in front of me was Reid, looking as handsome as ever,the looks in his eyes told me I just woke him up.

He was definitely not a morning person.

Sorry I woke you up,I blushed.

Its okay,I will be down in a minute, he smiled kissing me on the cheeks before closing his door.

I went to the kitchen and saw the lady I met yesterday.

Good morning, she smiled warmly at me.

Good morning ma, I smiled back.

Please call me Mrs Norma, she giggled like a teenager.

Blake entered the kitchen shirtless.

I looked away blushing, I wasn't use to seeing guys walking around the house shirtless.

Good morning mum,he kissed Mrs Norma cheeks before he turned to look at me.

Good morning,he smiled at me.

What's for breakfast,he sat down beside me.

Chicken soup,she smiled.

Yeah!,Blake danced like a 5 years old boy.

That's his favourite, Mrs Norma winked at me.

What's Reid favourite, I thought.

Immediately Reid entered the kitchen but thank God he was wearing a shirt, I wouldn't have been able to control my hormones.

He glare at Blake who was sitting close to him,Blake smirked at him but didn't move.

Reid sigh in defeat as he took the seat opposite me.

Mrs Norma served us our chicken soup and believe me,it was the sweetest chicken soup I had ever tasted.

We finished eating and like I had planned,Reid wanted us to spend some time getting to know each other.

So where are we going,I asked as we drove off from the house.

The park,he smiled.

We got there and I could see families around,children playing and mothers scolding their children.

I smiled at the thought of my mum.

I looked at Reid who had a distant looks in his eyes.

I held his hand and that brought him out of his little head.

We walked to a nearby bench and sat down.

My mum use to take me to the park every Saturday,he smiled looking at a family nearby.

I was happy that he was opening up to me.

What...what happened to her,I shuttered.

She was killed, he clutched his fist.

I gasped,I knew how painful it was to lose a mother.

The next year,my father wanted to take revenge for her a death,but he was killed in the process, in front of me.

I could see the tears forming in his eyes and I knew how painful it was for him.

I held his hand to let him know I understand his pain.

I watched as they killed my father,I ran,away from everything, that was when Mrs Norma found me and took me in.

I was just 5 then,he smiled.

Why does Blake call her his mum,I asked when I remembered that Blake had called her mum during breakfast.

She is like a mother to us,she took Blake as a child after his parents died in a fire accident, he said.

My heart ache for the both of them,they had all gone through pains.

Since then we lived and grew up like brothers,he smiled.

The people who kill my family are now after me,he said,the smile quickly fading from his face as he clutched his fist.

What??!!,I shouted.

They kidnapped Mrs Norma grandson, only to be released if I agree to come to them,he sigh.

No!,I yelled,you can't do that.

I know, but if there's no other way left,I would have to do it,Mrs Norma has done so much for me and if this is the only way to repay her back,I'm up for it,he caressed my cheeks.

I looked at him in pure disbelief,he couldn't be serious.

I didn't know I was crying now.

Don't cry,I'm going to make sure Blake take care of you,he hugged me.

I shook my head,I didn't want him to go.

He sigh letting go off me.

Sooner or later,if they know about you,they will surly come after you,he said coldly.

He didn't let me talk before he pressed his lips on mine.

It was like everything stopped moving and it was just the two of us.

It was like I could hear our heart beats but now it was beating as one,like we fit the other half of each others heart.

He pulled back and look me straight in the eyes.

Promise me you will be fine,he said.

How could I make such a promise when I can't even picture my life without him.

Promise me coral,he looked at me.

I...I promise.

Good,he cheeks my head taking me by the hands.

I think its time we go home,he smiled.

I nodded but didn't smile back.

Why did you kiss me,I asked.

Cause I...he didn't finish before the rain started pouring.

We should go now,we ran to his car before the rain got really heavy.

What did he wanted to tell me,my heart beat was faster and I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with it.

But I felt that emptiness again when I remembered all what he told me.

He was actually leaving, everyone I love and cared about was always leaving me.

I gasped at the unknown truth.

I had fallen for Reid without even knowing it.

I like Reid.

If you were wondering, the letter they received in their house was what Reid told her.

They want him for the release of Mrs Norma grandson.

Would Reid sacrifice himself?

And

Would carol have a complete life without him?
