Saw You Across The Way.

Derek Jones.

"Were they standing there the whole time?" Acacia asked blushing. I nodded and climbed on to the bed. "So, they've seen me naked plenty of times." I laughed

She rolled her eyes and it reminded me of the first time we met. I laid back against the pillows that were cool against my warm back. Acacia smiled and laid down putting her head on my chest. She began tracing my tattoos on my arms from my star and hanger and birdcage to my quotes and 17BLACK on my shoulder. She reached the two birds on my chest and smiled.

I shivered even though I was extremley hot. I picked up her left arm as she closed her eyes and began playing with her fingers. Her hands were so tiny in mine, they were like little baby hands. I loved her fingers because they were soft and not bony like other girls. They were kind of chubby but I thought it was adorable.

I rubbed her palm and then her wrist and felt a little bump. I looked at her wrist and saw a D shaped scar. There was a J right next to it.

"Acacia?" I asked her and her eyes fluttered open. "Hm?"

"What is this?" I asked her rubbing the scars. "What's wha-" She said but then cut herself off pulling back her wrist. She turned and sat up.

I quickly got up and ran over to her side. "Do you...do you cut yourself?" I asked grabbing her hands to search for any more scars or marks.

"No." She said ripping her hands from mine. "What is that then?" I asked looking into her big blue eyes.

"It's nothing important." She lied looking away. "Acacia. You need to tell me. We don't keep secrets from each other." and she knew I was right. Ever since we had our little kiss mishap we have been best friends and always told each other everything.

"Harry. I don't want you to know." She said her eyes getting glassy. "Acacia I have to know! You can't keep this from me!" I shouted.

"Harry! Give up I am not telling you!" She cried and it broke my heart. I grabbed her and swept her in my arms laying back on the bed. She wrapped her arms around my naked torso and I tangled my legs with her smooth ones.

I noticed I was pushing her and I didn't mean to. "I'm sorry. Don't tell me just. Promise you won't do it again." I said kissing her head, and I felt her eyelashes on my chest and I knew she had closed her eyes.
