Hide and seek

Decision time- Ch.9

It took weeks, for Mr. Danvers and the nurse to decide weather or not I could be in school. I had to beg and plead for them to let me back, but I finally got what I wanted.

"If it were me, I would have milked it for all it was worth!" Katie said to me on Monday morning, while she hugged me. I was a little touchy about being hugged, but she was gentle so it was okay. She and Oliver had talked to people, so I wasn't being stared at.  I had missed three weeks of school! I was lucky that Mr.Danver had tutored me. He had ended up being really helpful, and I understood more of my work than ever.

"I was tired of my four walls! You know me, I can't stay in one room for long," I said smiling. I was really nervous for today, so I was happy when I felt Oliver's hand come around my waist and hug me. I turned and smiled at him. I wanted to kiss him, but I still didn't know where we stood. He had asked me to meet him after school today because he wanted to talk about some stuff.

We reached my class before we could say anything to each other. My homeroom was really boring, seeing as I wanted to know what Oliver had to tell me. By the time school ended, I was on end and worried. All day I had wondered what he wanted to talk about. Was it good or bad?

"Hey! Have you had a good day back?" Oliver asked, as I walked out to our meeting spot were we normally met each day after school. I nodded and smiled but my stomach was doing flips. He hugged me gently. He took my hand and we walked back to our room.

Once we got there, I thought I was going to explode from being worried. I could tell he knew that I was worried, so he looked at me and said, "This isn't a bad thing." For me that wasn't any good compared to not knowing anything. He sat down and pulled me down with him. He was smiling like crazy.

"You remind me of your brother, you know that?" he said to me. I started to relax, because I was in his lap and we were curled up in bed against the wall. Then I pulled back a bit and got his face in my hands and looked at him.

Before I could think, I did what I had wanted to do for awhile today. I kissed him. He didn't seem surprised, or like he was grossed out, he actually seemed really into it. I pulled back from him and laughed.

"What? What is so funny?" he asked, but for some reason this made me laugh harder. After awhile he started to laugh to. I didn't know what he was going to say or ask me today, but if I was going to worry all day then I was going to get something out of it.

"Sorry, I just feel so off today," I said, trying to give him an excuse for my laughing fit. He just shook his head and turned serious. "That kind of thing is what I wanted to talk about. I can't do this. I can't have you at my fingertips and not actually have you." He said while kind of looking embarrassed. "Well that's a good thing," I said smiling. Then added "I kinda want to want to be yours to."

He hugged me tightly and kissed me once. I hadn't honestly realized how much he cared. I smiled at him and put my head on his shoulder. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick text, and before I knew it, I was getting phone calls from Katie and my other friends. I didn't answer any of them. I just sat with him.

~~~ Four months later~~~~

Things have gone back to normal. Oliver and I have become the couple of the academy. I hadn't gotten any more threats from AD and was starting to feel safe and at home. Big mistake.

"Hey babe!" Oliver said, as he came over to Katie and me. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek. We had started to walk home together and to school together. I really thought I might love him.

"You're going to hate me, but tomorrow I can't walk with you back to the dorm," he said to me. I hated walking home alone. The main reason I didn't like this, tomorrow Katie won't be there to save me from loneliness. "It's fine. I need to start being able to be alone," I said, giving him a weak smile as we started to walk home.

It was going to be a great day tomorrow! The school was splitting the student body in half and taking us on, what they called the annual shopping trip. Everyone had money so they could go shopping. I even found out that I could use money from my trust fund. The only bad thing about this was Oliver and Katie wont be with me and I will be all alone for half a day.

"Well, I guess so, seeing as you only have a half day and then you're in our room for awhile until I get home," he said. He looked worried, so I kissed him gently on the lips. He smiled at me and we walked the rest of the way as close as possible.

Once, we were back in the dorm I turned on our TV and pounced on the bed. Oliver laughed and did the same. I found that we could sit with each other and be content.

After a few hours passed, I started to get tired, so I turned over and cuddled against Oliver.

"Well, I see my girl wants her sleep," he said to me, laughing. I nodded and felt a faint pressure on my head from his lips. He reached over to the remote and turned off the TV. We had stopped using the top bunk and we just slept in my bed.

When I woke up I was quiet, because he didn't need to be up for another few hours. I looked at my phone and laughed, because I had a ton of texts saying that the administrators decided to just give us all the day off. I went and curled up against Oliver and fell asleep in his arms again.

I woke up to Oliver shaking my shoulder, and before he said anything I said, "I don't have school. Go have fun, let me sleep." He laughed and kissed me quick and simple.

"Alright then. Well, have a good day. I love you," he said, as he walked out of the room. I ended up getting up a little while after he left, and put on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt, along with my comfy pair of moccasins. Once that was done, I put my hair up in a ponytail with an elastic headband, and headed out for breakfast.

Not many people were out; most of them were still asleep. I had a horrible feeling of dé jàvu as I was walking, because I heard something that sounded like a person following behind me quietly. I speed up and turned into a jog. It hit me that it wasn't dé jàvu someone was following me! I turned and run, but as I turned the corner something hit my head and I fell to the ground. I felt blood start to seep from my forehead.

"Hello again dear. We are just going to go for a little trip of our own," said a voice that I could only place as AD's.
