I put on some leggings and a big old t-shirt pulled on some ankle socks and tied my hair up, and put some gloves on ready to clean.
I scrubbed the both the toilet and bleached it. It had been about 2 hours since I last saw him at 4. The bell to the front door rang. Who could it be? Mom? No way she’s probably having dinner right now. Slowly I walked towards the front door, I opened it and Thomas was standing there.
“what are you doing here?” I asked surprised but all he did was stare at me. “ what are you staring at?”
“sorry, I’ve never seen you dress so, casual, care-free, normal” he explained still staring
“so I’m not dressed normal, normally?” I asked
“no, you know that’s not what I meant. I’ve come to offer my help” he said
“offer accepted, thanks. Come on in.” he walked in and took off his shoes. “you can put you thins in the kitchen or the living room.” He walked in the direction I had pointed and came back out of the kitchen a few minutes later with his sleeves pulled up.
“so what should I start on?” he asked
“ you can vacuum the dining room and living room, thanks”
I ran up the stairs and quickly cleaned the Bathroom, then I got a bucket filled with hot water and soap, and took it into the shower room and started scrubbing. By the time I was down I was sweating a little and I was sure my cheeks were red. Thomas was standing by the door when I turned around.
“ I finished anything else to do?” I picked up the bucket and walked towards the bathroom. Emptying the water into the bathtub. I put the bucket down and started walking out the door. However I slipped on some water by the door because of the bucket. Damn I’m gonna I hell of a sore but to put up with. But then a warm hand came round my waist and the other holding my hand. I wasn’t on my arse, I hadn’t fallen but I was in a dip. Thomas had caught me. I stared at him for a moment, but he pulled me back up into standing positions.
“Are you blushing? Your cheeks are a bit red.” he said with a smirk
“of course not. I’m just hot.”
“really, I don’t think so” he said looking at me up and down. I playfully punched his arm. he smiled gently. “have you had dinner yet?”
“well sorta, I ate two slices of bread with a cup of milk. I couldn’t be bothered to make any proper food, because it’s just me today.” I said jumping down the stairs two at a time.
“okay sit in the living room and wait for me.” he said and ran into the kitchen. I walked into the living room and lay down on the sofa. After five minutes. He came back I smelt him before I saw him. He had brought pasta for me.
“wow, this smells really good. Where did you get it?” I said taking the smell in.
“get it? I made it try it” he said digging into his plate of pasta. I tasted one it was delicious and full of flavour.
“this is really good.” But I spooned half of my pasta onto his plate. “ you can eat up, I’m sure you didn’t eat anything after you went back to your so-called home. Plus I told you I ate something already.” I said eating the rest of mine up. I got up to put my plate into the kitchen sink. I poured myself a glass of water and walked back into the living room. I picked up the remote and flicked through the channels there was nothing to watch. I went to the horror channels; there were usually some movies at nine on these channels.
“Hey do you want anything to drink?” I asked sipping my water and tucking my legs under me.
“Water would be fine, I’ll get it by myself” he said getting up. I shot up form my seat and pushed him back into his seat.
“I’ll get it” I said picking up his empty plate. “ you’ve helped me a lot today” I walked into the kitchen and placed the plate on top of mine in the sink. And opened the top cabinet, took a glass cup out and filled it with luke- warm water.
“Here your water.” I said handing it to him
“Thanks” he said drinking from it. We watched the scary movie for a bit before he waved two key’s in front of me. “Do you remember the two secrets about me, from yesterday?”
“Yes, your dad had passed away and that he taught you the song.” I replied lightly. He placed the two keys into my palm; they were Identical to the ones he first gave me.
. . .
We had watched the movie for an hour now there wasn’t anything that scary yet, gruesome but nothing scary. Thomas ran out the living room door, for like ten minutes now. He came back with one big bowl filled with Mint choc-chip ice-cream and two spoons.
“ that’s nice of you to bring ice-cream, because it’s certainly not from my fridge, we don’t have any ice-cream.” We sat and ate the bowl together, the movie was getting more gruesome by the minute and more scary when we had finished the ice-cream I had turned into a snow man or should I say woman. I was shivering madly.
“hey you okay?” he asked putting a hand on my hand. “shit you’re freezing, why didn’t you tell me you were cold? Was it because of the ice-cream?” he went to check the windows and one them was frozen and he shut it with a slam.
“Do you know where my room is?” I asked as my teeth kept chattering?
“no why?” before he could say another word, I got up from the sofa and stumbled a bit. He came and put a hand on my waist. I walked up the second flight of stairs and pointed to the ceiling, he pulled the short end of a rope and a step ladder came down.
“My rooms up there, under my duvet I have a thick dark blue blanket, pull it out.” Quickly he climbed the rope ladder and emerged with my blanket. He wrapped the blanket round me and picked me up and ran down the stairs, gently sitting me down on the sofa. He sat down on my right, and pulled the blanket round us both and put his arms round me.
“Shit you’re still freezing, it’s like hugging a ice sculpture.” He started rubbing my arms. But I was still freezing, but I was slowly warming up. We watched the rest of the movie in silent. But when it was the end, and the guy was going to suck all the girls blood out, and rip her head off then rip her bones out of her body one by one. I turned my head away and buried my face into Thomas warm, strong chest. I could feel the thud of his heart on my cheeks. I waited for 20 seconds before I sat up.
“has the part passed?” Thomas didn’t answer and I sat up to look. I saw that horrible scene and I couldn’t seem to take my eyes off the screen. When it ended I replayed the images through my head.
“I’m going home now, thanks, night.” I walked him to the door and he walked to the edge of the trees, he paused a second, but he went anyway.
That night I couldn’t sleep. The images tore at my consciousness and I dreamt about it. The girl was me and I saw it through somebody else’ eyes. I was being torn limb by limb and blood spurted everywhere and my family was there Thomas was there, Toby, Usui and cat. But they couldn’t do anything at all about it. I screamed and screamed but they couldn’t hear me. I screamed for real this time and woke up from this nightmare. I ran to my parent’s room, but they weren’t back yet. I pulled my blanket round me and ran through the forest to Thomas house. I knocked loudly. I sank down onto the steps when nobody opened the door.
“Thomas, Thomas, Thomas. Come on I need you!” I whispered tears rolling down my scratched cheeks. That was caused because of the branches whipping in the wind. There was a creak behind me. I turned around. Thomas crouched down right next to me and looked at me; he cupped my tear-stained face into his hands.
“what’s the matter Tess?”
“I had a night mare from that stupid, stupid, stupid horror movie.” Scrunching up the corner of my blanket. “Nobody’s home yet.”
“come inside” he pulled me into his house. I stood there trying to wipe the tears with my hand, he sat me down on his bed and pulled up a chair opposite me.
“I’m sorry I freaked myself, watching the end part of the movie.” I said gulping back a sob. “ nobody was home and I didn’t want to be by myself.” I pulled the blanket tighter round me.
“oh, okay, do you want to talk or just sit there in silence?” he asked leaning back into his chair.
“I’m sorry, did I wake you from your sleep?” I asked
“nope, not really…. Well sorta. I couldn’t sleep after that movie too, but I was starting to drift off, when you suddenly came banging on my door.”
I sat in silence keeping my eyes on the floor. He sat down on top of the bed and pulled a pillow back against the head board of the bed. He pointed his thumb in that direction and I crawled over to it lying against it I pulled my blanket over me and then I ducked under his cover. He pulled his guitar out from inside the case, and sat down beside me, ducking under the covers as well. He started strumming a few notes. He started singing, I started drifting to sleep. At one moment I was conscious of the music stopping, and somebody pulling up the covers so that it came up over my shoulders. I was conscious of somebody warm sliding into the covers next to me. The heat was warm and comforting; their warmth was spreading around my keeping me warm.
I woke up really early the next morning, it was probably just light. Somebody stirred on my right. Thomas. Quietly I swung my legs over the side of the bed and walked over to his table. I grabbed a pen and post-it note.
Thomas,
Thanks for helping me sleep and staying with me. Now I know to not watch any movie on the horror channel after nine. Thanks again for the dinner and dessert. May-be next time we hang out we can do something different, something other than watching TV. Hoped you had a nice sleep.
See you soon,
Tess
Leaving that note I went outside and ran as fast as I could back to the house. Silently I slipped through the back door using the spare key. I turned around and crept up the stairs.
“Er… where do think you are going young lady?” I turned around slowly. My mom stood there in her green silk dressing gown.
“ to my room, see I went out for a morning jog.” I explained
“You never use to jog.”
“Well,
