Mal POV :
I sat infront of Carlos and read the spell as he was taking off his gloves :" Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary , simple to savory and let us dine in glory " I said and pointed at the table and suddenly there were lots of dishes on the table .
Carlos , What if I could tell you how I really feel ? What if dating wasn't illegal and love wasn't weak in my mom's opinion? What if I grabbed your hand and said :" Yes ! I love you !" and you said that you loved me too ?
What if things were different than now ? What if you weren't Taken by my best friend , Evie ? Do you have feelings for me too or is it just me ?
I looked at him who was still taking of his gloves . He started eating as silence has reigned in the room and it felt really awkward .
So I finally said :" Why were you running from your mom ? I guess now you can answer .. huh?" And I pulled my purple hair back and had a bite of the little piece of chicken .
"Uhhh ..." He said and stuttered . He swallowed the rest of the sentence . I shook my head as continue .
"Uh ..So .."
I fixed my eyes on him and pursed my lips .
"That's the whole story I told you .. It's just I ruined her coat and she got angry .. That's it !" I knew he was hiding something because his gaze was bouncing around nervously and he couldn't keep his eye contact with me .
"Okay then ! Stand up !" I said and stood up . Carlos stood up immedietly and accidently dropped his fork on the plate and got scared with the loud dang sound it made .
"It's not good for you to stay here . If your mom founds out about it , I would get in lots of trouble ." I said as I couldn't believe what I was gonna ask for.
I could see sadness in his eyes but I was this ; I couldn't change anything in my personality !.. and what if he stayed and Evie found out and misundersoond everything ?! I may not take that risk !
Carlos gulped and said :" Okay , Mal . Thanks for everything .." His voice was as soft as a feather and melodious as a bird singing .
He took his plate off the table and put infront of me . I read the spell to turn everything back to nothing :" Take this feast , this sumptuos meal , return it back to what is real ! " And pointed at the table and we both saw the table got empty and clean .
"Wow ! Um .. nice job ..." Carlos said and looked at me . He wanted to walk away but instead he stood infront of me with alittle distance between and said :" So .. I'm going ."
I held my breath and looked at him in the eye . Then I stared at his lips ; They had this light rosy color and pouty shape . I wanted to touch his face and caress his freckled cheeks but I just froze . I was too stressed that I stepped backward and dropped my spellbook .
" Oh my gosh ! Sorry !" Carlos said and bent down to take the spellbook . He reached out to me , holding the spellbook but as I wanted to grab it my gaze got out of control and made me stare at his face instead of paying attention to the book and .. Our hands rubbed eachother and I froze , looking at our hands and the spellbook .
"Oh !" I said and took the spellbook but as soon as my finger touched his fingers he darted back , pressing his fingers firmly and smiling in pain .
"What happened ?" I said and grabbed his hand automaticly .
His hand was alittle warm but as soon as I saw that big scar on his hand , I gasped and said :" What is that ?!"
He pulled his hand back , rubbing it with another and said :"Oh nothing ! It's just ..!"
"It's just what ?!" I screamed . Because that scratch was huge and new but I was sure nothing has happened to him in my house .
"It's just a scar . I cut my hand with scissors accidently !" He answered .
I stared at his whole body and suddenly , my eyes caught bruises on his neck !
"What are those ?!" I asked and showed his neck .
Carlos looked at his neck and said :" I fell down .. the stairs ?.." He was lying and I was sure of that .
His eyes were full of innocentness , sadness and pain .
"Stop lying , Carlos ..." I said as my voice cracked and trembled . Those scars were like dark and red snakes crawling all over his pale skin but his bruises were like dark clouds waiting for a dramaric moment to cry for ..
Carlos gulped and I could see his eyes tearing up as his gaze was scanning my whole face :" I don't wanna get in trouble .." He said and looked down rubbing his hands together .
"What ?! What trouble ?" I asked and looked at him who was staring down ashamedly .
"It's just ... my mom ." He said and I gasped . What was he talking about ? His tear drops , started falling down his cheeks insidiously and in compelete silence as if he remembered something really painfull .. I did never know how to react when someone was crying especially when He was crying .. I turned around and took some napkins and dried his face , touching his smooth skin with my finger tips and a napkin .
"What are you talking about ?" I asked and he took a deep breath .
"She .. abuses me at house .. She doesn't love me ! She just uses me as a tool to fluff and brush her furs .." He said and his voice cracked . I gasped and put my hand on his shaking shoulder .
"Are these bruises all over your body ?" I asked whispering . I really hated the way she misthreated him like that ... Carlos slowly shook his head ; But like .. He was such a baby . How could I even hurt him anymore ?
"I still feel that stinging pain in my whole body .. Especially my back .." He said and streched his back . I was frozen .. My mouth was open and I could feel like I could barely breath .. I looked at his sad big brown eyes . I was holding his hand .. I slowly caressed the scar and I could see him smiling in pain as his lips were trembling .
Knock ! Knock ! I turned around and looked at the door .
"Who is it ?" I was scared that it was Cruella but instead it was someone more dangerious ; Harry ..!
"It's me ! Harry Hook !" He said from behind the door . Carlos stared at the door .
"I'm not gonna open the door ! Go away .. I wanna sleep !" I said because I couldn't say anything else and by the way , my tone was still going up and down just like thenstormt waves of a ocean ! It was too risky to bring him in .
"I wanna give you , your notebook !" He said . Carlos raised his eyebrow and looked at me.
"You have a notebook ?" He whispered . I shook my head as approval . Don't lie , Mal . That's not a notebook . It's a diary !
I opened the door and looked at Harry which was standing there holding the diary with his hook . He fixed his ice-blue eyes on me and said :" I decided to give you back , your notebook !" And cracked up in a psychotic way .
I smirked and murmured :"Shut up , Hook ! Just give it .." and grabbed my diary .
Harry stared at my back and widened his eyes and said :" Wow ! You have a guest ?"
Carlos saw Harry and as he wanted to say :" No , I'm gonna go now.."
I cut him short and said :" Yes . He is my guest and that's none of your buisness !"
Harry blew a kiss and winked at me , Whispering :" Sleepover ? Does Evie know about this ?" I rolled my eyes and looked at him , going .
Carlos swallowed and said :" So you're gonna let me ?.. Stay overnight ?" I shook my head thinking about how Evie will react to this !
I coughed and said :" This is all because I don't want your mom to reach out to you .." and I pulled my hair back .
Then I walked through bathroom but Carlos stood infront of me and said :" Wait ! Would you promise that you won't tell about this to anyone ?" His voice cracked with fear floating inside .
"Promise..." I said and stared at his face again . He was still scared but I'm sure he felt safe around me and to be honest I wanted him to stay overnight .
I slowly pushed him to a side and after I entered the bathroom and washed my hands and brushed my teeth , I came out . I sat on my bed and looked at Carlos who was looking at my library and slid his fingers on every book's title . I could still feel his perfume with that distance . He suddenly turned around , As he understood I was staring at him . Then he said :" I'm gonna sleep on the floor !"
I didn't say anything ! I was not gonna tell him to come and sleep beside me ..! I leaned on my bed's headboard and slowly slided to left so I can read my diary secretly .. I should've destoryed those page since very long time ago !
I felt my hands shaking but I tried to do it quietly as Carlos was slidimg from right to left on the ground trying to sleep . I glanced at him to make sure , He was sleeping and yeah , He was . I relaxed and exhaled . His long eyelashes cast ambiguous and unclear shadows on his eyelids and those freckles had his face covered all over . That slight smile that was on his lips , while sleeping .. was so beautiful ! I didn't know what I felt about him or did I ?... Maybe I just didn't want to admit it .. I didn't want to have my heart broken again ..!
I looked at my diary pages :"
Ok so ... I think I have this kinda crush ?.. on Carlos ?! I don't what do others call this feeling but I don't dare and like to bully him anymore ..
When he gets hurt , it feels like I get hurt . It's like he is half of my heart !
I don't wanna talk about this anymore . Jay is in our house now and I don't want him to understand about me writing diaries !
I sighed reading this..
"Are you studying ?" I gasped and bounced as Carlos asked that .
I rolled my eyes and let my breath out .
"What are you doing , Carlos ?!" I asked and hid the diary under my pillow .
"Uh, Sorry .. It just caught my attention that you were reading something .." He said and slowly sat down .
"I want to sleep now . Good night , Carlos .." I said and turned my back on him and closed my eyes , trying to sleep .. And unlike everyday , I fell asleep really fast because it was a long exhausting day ! But as soon as I was having the greatest dream I could have , I heard someone screaming and I woke up !
As I recognized that voice I turned around and saw Carlos . He was having a nightmare and he was scratching his blanket , murmuring :" Let me go ... Let me go !"
I rubbed my eyes with my fists and took a deep breath ; What am I gonna do ? How am I gonna calm him , down ?!!!
I knelt down on the ground , beside him and did something that even thinking about it ?.. Makes me blush . But still , I did it because of him .. He wasn't well I mean ..!
I caressed his cheeks and whispered :" Carlos ! Wake up ! You're having a nightmare !"
"Someone please help me !!" He said as he was panting hard and scratching his blanket and shaking .
I grabbed his cheeks and got so close to him , so he would hear me .
"I'm here , Carlos ! Wake up !!!" As he opened his eyes I froze as my hands were still wrapped around his face . He was still panting but as he saw me , he held his breath and gulped .
I looked at the clock and slowly crawled back . It was 3 a.m ! Carlos slowly leaned on his pillow and said :" I'm sorry .. I'm so sorry for waking you up .." He rubbed his face with his hand as if he was trying to clean all of his nightmare from his mind .
"What did you see ?" I asked immedietly .
Carlos looked at me as he was still panting and short of breath ; I could see that his eyes were tearing up and his voice trembled , saying :" She grabbed me by my arm and threw me down stairs as I was hitting each step .. It was really painfull .."
I wanted to tell him to calm down when he added :" Then it was this giant dalmatian that was running after me , trying to .. bite me !" I sighed and sat beside him who litterally crying this time ..! He was sobbing !..
I couldn't stop myself and embraced him as he was crying and sobbing , shaking and soaking my shirt with his teardrops .
"Please don't leave me alone .. You are my only friend !" He said , crying .
I pushed him towards myself as I wanted to ask him what about Jay and Evie but I didn't . I'd rather stay quiet . On the other hand , I couldn't let him sleep alone on that cold floor having nightmares again , so I said :" Carlos , What do you say if you sleep beside me ?"
He stopped crying and looked at me with his watery sparkling brown eyes .
I continued :" With a pillow in the middle so no one would misunderstand !"
Carlos smiled and shook his head as an okay . Then I helped him to stand up and layed him down on my bed . He stared at me when I was putting a pillow in the middle , Trying hard to not look at him . He slowly fell sleep and I layed down beside him with that pillow in the middle . I could feel the smell of his perfume and I wanted to inhale deeply but I didn't want to wake that angel up .
I guess I needed to admit it .. I loved him .. I loved him alot that I could stare at him till dawn .Me (writer)
