Harsh Secrets
C h a p t e r 7
It was one of those morning that
you didn't want to open your eyes. I lay on the warm
bed untill i realized that I didn't remeber going to
bed last night. I opened my eyes and I was in a blue
room that I have never seen before. I lifted myself
onto my elbow and saw Collin laying next to me lightly
snoring. I smiled and slid out of the bed. I walked
over to the desk top. Things were all over, I quietly
leafed through them a bit,but they really were nothing.
Over on the bed side table there was a picture
frame. I tip-toed over to the table and picked up the
frame. Inside was a picture of Collin who looked like he
was maybe 15, another boy who looked about 12 and a
little girl who couldn't be older than 5 or 6. The boy
could have been a clone of Collin, everything from hair and
eye color to skin tone and just the way they were sitting
and smiling. Their eyes mesmorized me, as did the little
girls who were an exact match. I traced my finger
over the little girl as I remembered Maggie. Both Maggie
and the little girl had brown hair that had cute
little curls that was about down to thier shoulders. Even
their skin tone would be the same. The
biggest difference were the eyes. The girl with bright
green and Maggie had big brown ones like
me. Maggie was as old now as the girl in the picture.
I missed her. She was the only one in my family that
was ever happy to see me and said how much she loved me
everyday. With 11 years between us I have never really
been able to have that sister bond but I planned on being
there. I wasn't going to leave her the way my father
left his sisters and brother, even if my
parents didn't care. A few tears slipped down my
cheek but I wasn't the one who wiped them away, it
was Collin. He made me jump because I didn't know
that he was awake. He smiled at me and looked down at
the picture in my hands.
"Leah and Michael." He told me.
"Where are they now?" I asked.
"The stayed with my Aunt one time. I wanted to
stay but I was going to live my own life. they were just
to young to let tag along. They are happier
there." His voiced straighted and every
through it sounded like he wanted to say more, he
didn't. After a few minutes of us both looking at the
picture, I put it back were it was on the bed side table,
stood up and took Collins hand.
"Come on, lets not waste a beautiful
day! And I'm hungary!" I laughted
and pulled him up, for the first time noticing that he
wasn't wearing a shirt. He just looked perfect but all
to soon he pulled a shirt on and took my hand and led me
down the stairs to the kitchen.
I sat at the table while he made waffles and put
a bowl of grapes on the table, and we chatted.
"So how did you get me back here if I fell asleep on
the roof?" I asked.
He turned and smiled at me. "It seemed to hard to get
you back down from your way so I took my
way."
"And what is your way?"
"I guess the world may never know."
"Aww come on! I won't tell."
"If I tell you I'll have to kill you!"
I laughted. "Pretty pretty please with a cherry on
top?"
"Nope!"
I stuck my tongue out and threw a grape at him. I
missed and tried again but this time he turned and caught
it. He threw it back and laughted as it hit the top of
my head. threw another that went to high but
he caught it in his mouth. I clapped laughing as he took a
bow. We ate and decided to go out into town. I
went back to my room to change. My heart fluttered as
i showered got dressed and scrunched my hair. Just as
I was finishing up there was a knock on the door. I opened
it to Jon.
"Oh hey Jon!" I smiled.
"Mr. Collin is downstairs waiting for you."
"Thanks!" I said grabbing my purse and
running towards the stairs.
