Hearts Aglow

Chapter Six

New Story

From since the very first time I knew I was different I had my life all planned out. I would have just grown up all old and alone. As for anyone who asked, my mate died in a fire. That's what I was positive I would be saying in a few years. But now things can be diffrent, now I have Jackson.

I sit on my bed just thinking about Jackson when I hear a ring at my door and snap out of my daze. Miranda and Haley! I forgot they were coming today. I run out of my room and down the stairs. I take a secound to fix my hair. "Heyyy!" I say in a guilty way as I open the door. "Hey Kate!" Miranda says. "Hey bae." Haley says. Those two sentences describe our two separate relationships perfectly.

I close the door after they are in and we go up to my room. "Dude we have school tomorrow." Miranda says with a groan. "Eww." Haley says with a look of disgust. I sit on my bed an smile. "School isn't to bad." I say slightly blushing. "Are you crazy? Its legit torture and it's probably even worse for you, you know, having to worry about the hmm hmm hmm." Haley says gesturing to my wrist with her head. "Yes I am crazy, but no I'm not really worried I know my secrets safe." I reply still noticeably blushing.

Miranda looks at me in a weird way like she knows something I don't. "What, is there something on my face?" I say in a cocky way. "No but you are blushing, is there something you aren't telling us?" She says.

"What.... psh noo..." I reply further reddening my face. "Your hiding something!" Haley yells. "Maybe maybe not..." I reply trying yet failing to dodge suspicion. "YOU TOLD SOMEONE ELSE DIDNT YOU!!! ABOUT YOUR ARM!!!" Haley lashes out at me. "Well don't tell the whole world!"

Miranda covers her mouth with her hands and Haley glares at me. "Did you tell them or did they find out, wait who was it?" Miranda questions. "Please tell me it was someone decent at least, because your obviously not upset about it." Haley says while keeping her scowl. "I-I'm sorry but I can't tell you." I let out.

Haley look at me in disbelief and Miranda just looks dumbfounded. "What do you mean you "can't tell us" have you forgotten how to speak?" Miranda questions using air quotes. "No, I just can't tell you." I repeat.

"Well that just shows what kind of a person you are." Miranda says with furry. i feel tears welding up in my eyes. I promised Jackson and I can't break it I won't to that to him. "I'm sorry I just can't." I say. Haley looks at me with pain in her eyes and I can tell she is hurt. "After all we have done for you, you can't tell us who else knows your secret." She says trying to hide the pain in her voice.

I don't know what to do I can't tell them I might lose Jackson, but if I don't I might lose both of them. "I can't tell you because..." My face gets hot and I have to stop mid scentence because I know I'm going to cry. "I can't tell you because HE is just like ME." I utter. "It's Jackson isn't it!!!" Miranda screams. Tears start to drip and my face feels like fire. What have I done.
