the crystal night
Chapter 3 the meeting

I woke the Далее morning feeling dreadful I had a headache and I was still exhausted even though I had slept in.
I got up and headed for the bathroom to find it locked so went back to my room and changed into my light blue fleas and jeans, I opened the curtains and the window, I gazed out to the forest feeling empty hoping he would be their and as I thought he was nowhere is sight, I herd the lock relies on the bathroom and grabbed a towel.
Once I had finished drying and brushing my heir I took the towel downstairs and put it in the wash pile mum came into the кухня after me to make her self a coffee, “Autumn why don’t Ты get some breakfast?”
“I’m not hungry thanks”
“alright but eat something soon ok?”
“I will”
That was a lie I wasn’t hungry in the slightest way, I slipped out of the кухня before she could ask me anything else.
I sat on my floor and started Чтение trying to take my mind of him but I wasn’t working, I was frustrated with myself how can I get myself hung-up on a boy when I hadn’t even seen his face, but there is something about him something in humanly perfect.
I had carried on Чтение and was halfway through a chapter when I herd mum’s muffled voice through the floor
“Autumn!”
I put my book away and wondered down to the living room
“yes?”
“Have Ты eaten anything yet?”
“No”
“Why not I asked Ты to, its three o clock”
“It’s what time!”
I had heard what she had сказал(-а) but I dint believe it three o clock in the afternoon I was normally starving by now, but I was only just a little bit peckish, she gave me one of those looks that mum’s give Ты the look that meant do it now
“ok I’m gunna go eat now buy”
I wondered into the кухня and had a look for some thing nice, normal people would probably have a сэндвич, бутерброд but I despise хлеб and масло, сливочное масло so that was out of the Вопрос I found a nice green яблоко some crackers and cheese and made a snack out of that and went back to my room with it, I switched my laptop on and waited for it to load up while I ate I signed on and had decided to do what most people find very boring picture editing, I selected a cartoon picture and started changing the colours pixel by pixel, I did this for about two hours before I got fed up and turned some Музыка on it wasn’t the type of Музыка people my age like but I liked it so it didn’t matter when something occurred to me yesterday my stranger had сказал(-а) he was sorry, what was he sorry for, watching me. Ignoring me. What is he sorry for I don’t understand, he is so mysterious and confusing he gives me a headache, I have to see him again some where I cant go to him I have to wait for him to come back, if he ever dose.
I walked downstairs and sat on the arm of the sofa, mum was watching TV some boring property program
“Autumn could Ты cook ужин tonight?”
“if I must”
“could Ты so it soon? Roger needs to go to постель, кровати early he’s going to one of his Друзья houses for чай tomorrow”
“ok ok I’m going”
“Thank you”
I walked into the кухня and had a look in the freezer I wasn’t in the mood to cook anything fancy so I put a пицца in and some spicy wedgies into the духовой шкаф, печь and left them to cook.
After everyone had finished eating I had ran Roger a bath and gone back to my room, I brushed my heir again, with heir like mine its best to keep it knot free as much as possible, I looked down at my watch it was eight o clock, to early to go to постель, кровати so I had decided to do some еще Чтение I climbed up into my постель, кровати with my book, their was something unexpected, a small piece of perfectly white paper was folded up on my pillow, my сердце was beating faster than I thought it ever could my hands were shaking, I gently picked the paper up as if it were an injured animal and very carefully unfolded it, the righting was elegant and flawless, perfect script and looked so old fashioned, I immediately knew who it was from I smiled I almost felt whole again, I turned my attention to actually Чтение the note, it сказал(-а)
Come to the playing field tomorrow at ten am.
Don’t come if Ты don’t want to.
Ps. don’t bring anyone with you, it’s to risky.
I almost passed out, he wants to meet me, how did he get in I looked around the room for signs of an entry and spotted the window wasn’t shut properly I sighed a happy sigh, but I had to really think about this I know I shouldn’t meet strangers on my own but it сказал(-а) not to bring anyone with me It is to dangerous, how could it be to dangerous, this was a decision I would have to make alone maybe it could change my life, all of this could turn out badly или it could be for the better, I had to think about making a dishion would I play безопасно, сейф and stay Главная или would I risk everything for a boy I didn’t even know the name of, I dint have to think about it anymore than that, I had made my disition.
I didn’t sleep well that night, I am easily made nervous and being nervous makes me feel unwell, I sat up most of the night trembling wondering what would happen If I chose the other path, it was to late now I had made my decision and I wouldn’t change my mind no matter how hard people tried to convince me, I looked at the clock on my mobile three am I need to get some sleep, I was exorsted but my body wouldn’t shut down I was now at that point when your dipping in and out of consciousness, at half past three I finally managed to fall into a deep sleep.
I woke late it was quarter past nine, three quarters of an час before he wanted to meet me, my muscles were aching all over from last night.
I managed to drag myself out of постель, кровати and do the normal morning routine but it happened very slowly, normally it would have taken five minuets but this morning, somehow I took half an hour, I sat at the таблица in the кухня some how now I was buzzing I couldn’t sit still, I would have gotten breakfast but I didn’t want to upset my stomach, it was now five to ten so close.
Mum had been surprised by my exit I very rarely go out of the house but I had just grabbed a куртка and left and now I was heading down a steep track that was a shortcut to the playing fields, the weather wasn’t so bad it was cloudy with a slight wind at least their was no sun.
I stood at the opening in the trees at the end of the track and looked for him, I couldn’t see him anywhere, I took a few steps out into the open and looked around again and there he was standing by the trees at the mouth of the wood, I felt so happy some how I wanted to run up to him, like old friends, I didn’t, I had to be careful he сказал(-а) it was risky, we stood staring at each other, was I meant to go to him или was he going to come over hear, my Вопрос was answered when he raised a hand and waved his index finger beckoning me to come, drawing me in, slowly I started to move, one foot after the other I tolled myself trying not to trip, I got to a meters distance and stopped was it безопасно, сейф enough to go any closer, no I would play safe.
we looked at each other или еще like he looked at me he was still covered with his thick jacket, hood, neckerchief and gloves to be honest it did look quite scary who knew what he was hiding and at this distance if I ran he could probably catch me within секунды I am a lousy runner, but I wouldn’t let him see my feelings, my hands were shaking which annoyed me so I stuffed them in my pockets.
We had been standing hear for ages not changing my legs were starting to hurt and he never took his eyes off me, he stared as if I was going to run any second, I was starting to get annoyed now, did he ask me down hear just to stare at me. Silence. I’m gunna bust in a second, he could probably see the irritation on my face but still didn’t say any thing, right that’s it I’m busting
“What?!” my voice sounded harsh and embraced me and He looked quite startled
“I’m waiting” their it is that flawless voice it filled me with an electrical tingle that pulsed through me from the heir on my head all the way down to my toes
“What are Ты waiting for?”
“You”
“I’m hear”
“I know that, I’m waiting for Ты to runaway screaming”
“Well it’s not going to happen”
Silence this was really awkward I pulled my mobile out my pocket and looked at the time, we had been hear for a whole час and I had learnt nothing about him, I was the one to brake the silence,
“So why did Ты ask me to come down hear?”
“I wanted to meet you”
“Right” I сказал(-а) sarcastically he bought me all the way down hear to meet me even though he had been watching me for god knows how long so he probably knew everything about me
“What’s your name?”
“You know that” I know he dose Ты don’t watch someone without picking up their name
“I mean your full name”
“Why do Ты want to know?”
“All right well leave the name, how old are you” he sounded really curious but I don’t know him so I can’t trust him
“Why don’t Ты tell me your name?”
“All right”
My legs were really dead now and he could see it, and to my surprise he sat down in the трава and signalled for me to do the same, I was a relief to have some feeling back in my legs but I was interrupted by his gorgeous voice
“I will tell Ты about myself but Ты have to promise to talk about your self after words, do Ты promise?”
“I promise” and I knew it was one I would have to keep but their was something I wanted first
“But”
“Yes?” he sounded really curious
“Could Ты remove the stuff?” I was difficult to talk to someone who was covered up, and slowly he removed all of the unnecessary clothing the gloves came off first revelling long pale fingers the type musicians have, Далее was the капот, худ his dark heir waved gently in the wind, I don’t think I have ever seen anyone with heir as dark as his it was just pure black and was so mystifying if his heir is that dark then what’s his personality like, last to come off was the neckerchief it reviled the most gorgeous face I have ever seen, gorgeous didn’t cover it his face was so perfect and flawless just like his voice, all his futures were angular and symmetrical, and his skin was as pale as fresh snow but his lips stood out they were a beautiful red almost blood red, their were purple rings under his eyes as if he hadn’t slept at all last night but it was odd last time I had seen his eyes they were almost as black as his heir but now they were a warm honey brown, I sat and stared he was so inhumanly beautiful like he had been carved by Ангелы to represent purity, I bet any guy would give anything to look that attractive.
I sat and stared at him I couldn’t say a word his face made me speechless and then he laughed the sound was so musical and sweet, it made me blush and his teeth were so bright they were perfectly white but he irritated me what was so funny
“What?” my voice sounded bland compared to his
“Your face” I blushed even deeper red then it hit me, it was like I had been hit by truck, I remembered where I had seen him,
“Autumn are Ты ok?” I don’t know what was on my face but I worried him,
“Autumn? Autumn answer me”
“You, Ты were”
“What was I?”
I couldn’t answer, I couldn’t be, how can it be, how
“Autumn” he had moved closer now he was close enough to reach out and touch me he placed a hand on my shoulder and started into my eyes but he held his breath,
“You were in my dream, Ты were their, Ты helped me”
“What? How did I help you?, when did Ты have this dream?”
“I was sinking into, Ты were their, Ты stayed and pulled me free Ты helped me”
“Autumn tell me what Ты were sinking into I need to know”
“The darkness it was all-around me dragging me in and Ты pulled me out, Ты kept me safe”
He sighed like he was expecting it to be something else
“Are Ты sure it was me?”
He sounded as if he wanted it to be someone else
“I’m sorry but I’m sure it’s you”
“When did Ты have this dream?”
“A месяц of two назад I dint know the exact date”
He looked angry, he closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose
“You were inside my head and know your hear it’s scary”
“Autumn I don’t want Ты to get into any trouble because of me, maybe I should just leave Ты alone”
“Don’t go, maybe my dream means something, Ты should stay”
I was desperate for him to stay I didn’t want to have that empty feeling again.
“Fine I will stay but I will do it because Ты asked, if Ты were anyone else I would have left already”
He sounded so sad
“Thank Ты um”
“Tom my name is Tom”
“Thank Ты Tom”
He finally took his hand off my shoulder, he had been squeezing a little bit too hard and I could see as soon as he moved away he began to breathe again
“Now as I сказал(-а) I will tell Ты about myself”
“No”
“What?”
“Ill go first”
“Are Ты sure?”
“Start firing”
“Ok, what’s your full name?”
“My full name is Autumn-Jade Trinity”
“Right what’s your favourite colour, Еда and type of book?”
“My favourite colours are black, white and turquoise my fave types of Книги would be romance and I Любовь meat which isn’t very feminine”
“All right what colour and foods do Ты hate?”
“I hate the colour purple” he interrupted me then
“But the walls of your room are purple”
“Yes but I don’t like it” he nodded and I carried on
“The foods I hate the most well that’s easy I hate bread, butter, eggs and carrots”
“Simple enough but I have never met a person who don’t like bread” he smiled
“What are Ты scared of?”
“I’m scared of heights, the dark, spiders, insects and fish”
“Fish, you’re scared of fish”
I blushed
“Yes I am afraid of рыба there disgusting”
Be both laughed, we didn’t even know each other properly and we were Актёрское искусство like best friends
“What’s your favourite type of weather?”
“I like the rain”
“you like the rain?”
“yes, is there a problem with that?”
“no, but most people like the sunshine”
“I hate the sun, it makes Ты hot and I burn easily and I like the sound of the rain, it’s soothing, don’t Ты think?”
“I’ve never really thought about it”
He sat thinking
“Could I ask Ты a personal question?”
“Depends on what it is”
“Do Ты have a, um…………………. boyfriend”
I dint like this Вопрос my romance history isn’t a good one
“You don’t have to answer if Ты don’t want to”
“No, no I don’t have a boyfriend and to be honest I don’t want one”
“Oh, sorry I asked”
“No its ok, are Ты going to ask any еще questions?”
“Yep I’m nowhere near finished”
“Great”
I сказал(-а) sarcastically.
Hours passed and he still managed to find Вопросы to ask me, I didn’t know how long we had been their but the light was starting to fade and my mobile rang
“Hi mum what’s up?”
“Autumn I think it’s time for Ты to come Главная now”
“Mum can’t I have a bit longer”
“All right Ты can have another hour, stay safe”
“Will do”
She hung up first, she is probably busy with Roger.
“So, what know, will Ты tell me about yourself?”
“Autumn there’s something I should, I should Показать Ты some thing first” he looked so helpless
“What is it Tom?” I was worried now
“I should Показать Ты but I cant its not allowed, Ты could guess”
“Guess what?, Tom your making me nervous what is it?”
“Forget it you’ll figure it out but I will be waiting for the день when Ты to run screaming”
“Tom please tell me I want to know”
“Don’t!” his voice sounded so commanding it scared me, I looked down at my hands, they were balled up into fists on my lap
“Autumn I’m sorry please don’t plead like that its not fear, I can’t tell you, Ты have to figure it out” he looked miserable he reached out and put his hand on my shoulder but I shook it off, I don’t like secrets, I had answered all of his Вопросы and he repays me by keeping secrets that isn’t fear, not in the slightest, Tom got up and looked at the sky, then he walked over to the trees
“I have messed everything up!” I looked up to him, he looked so angry it scared me
“I should have just left it would have been beater for everyone!” he thumped the дерево and the whole thing shook right down to the roots, I felt bad now how could I have upset him so much that wasn’t fair on him
“Tom” I got up and walked over to him, he had closed his eyes and his fist was still on the дерево it must have hurt to hit something that hard he stood there perfectly still, I reached out my hands were trembling I touched the fist that had hit the дерево and pulled it away, he had dinted the дерево their was almost a whole in it, that must have hurt I examined his knuckles there wasn’t the slightest mark, I looked up to his face, he is staring down at me his face curious,
“What?” I couldn’t help smiling
“Don’t my hands feel cold to you?” I thought about that for a second
“No, are they meant to?”
“Yes” he sounded surprised, he stared down into my eyes, I looked away and let his hand drop
“I should get going” I didn’t want to leave but mum wanted me home
“I will walk Ты Главная if Ты like?”
I blushed at his offer
“If Ты want to”
We set off together it was getting really dark now but somehow I felt безопасно, сейф with Tom with me we walked in silence, he walked the whole way like he had been walking it all his life when we reached my house we stopped
“Um, when will I see Ты again?”
“I can come in if Ты like?”
“I don’t think mum would be to happy with me bringing boys into the house”
He smiled a teasing smile that made my сердце beat so fast it almost burst out of my chest
“I will see Ты in I few minuets”
I didn’t have time to reply he was already walking away, I watched him until he turned the corner
“Tom” I sighed and turned to go into the house
“Autumn! Where have Ты been?”
“I was walking”
“Ok but Далее time tell me before Ты go out I was worried”
I smiled at her
“I will and I’m sorry”
“Oh your dinners in the oven”
“Ok, I thought Ты were taking Nathaniel to Carlisle”
“He canalled”
“Oh”
I walked into the кухня and looked in the oven, cottage pie I grabbed a нож and fork and went up stairs.
I had put my Еда down and was about to start eating when I herd a tap on the window, I got up and opened the curtains and their he was standing on the porch roof that jutted out from the house just below my window I opened it and he climbed in
“Uh, hi”
“Hi”
He sat on the chest of draws and I stared at him
“What?”
He sounded so innocent
“Do Ты do things like that often?”
“No, I don’t normally knock”
“Right”
The smell of my ужин had filled the room and my stomach growled I had eaten absolutely nothing today
“You should eat some thing, I kept Ты for long enough”
“What about you?”
“I’m on a special diet”
I rolled my eyes that didn’t seem so surprising.
One I had finished my ужин I instructed him not to Переместить and took my plate down stairs, it was difficult to leave him there on his own.
When I returned I found he had sat perfectly still, I laughed and a smile touched his lips, he caved and laughed his musical laugh, I sat on my постель, кровати and sighed
“what is it”
“will I see Ты tomorrow?”
“I will come see Ты after school if Ты wish”
I smiled at him and then looked down at my hands
“something’s wrong?” he sounded as upset as I felt
“well I just, I think it would be nice if I could find Ты when I need Ты rather than waiting for Ты to come to me, I feel like Ты might not come back”
“I promise I will always comeback, Autumn were Друзья now aren’t we, Друзья stick together and if Ты want to find me I can Показать Ты where I am now living if Ты wish”
I blushed I didn’t know people like this existed he was totally amazing
“that would be cool, can Ты call us friends, I don’t know anything about you” I replied in a teasing tone
“I will explain the best I can”.
