the side of darkness you dont see by leanne (the giving tree read aloud .TXT) 📖

i burst out crying again. We sat there for a while I could calm down “Crystal why do you feel like you been for gotten it only been a day and a half Hun” she smiles at me “I never gone without hearing my mum’s voice” she told me that when she first came here she missed her family but it would get easier. We sat in silents before I a shadow loomed over we both looked up into bright blue eyes. Oh my god its Theo he stared down at us bet you my were blood shot from crying “hey there I been looking for you Crystal Mr. Dom wanted me to find you your twenty minutes late” he puts his hand out to help me up from the bench he keeps hold of my hand and pulls me into the light so he can see my face better “you been crying what up” turned to look behind me where Bridie was but now she was walking away from me and Theo so I left with. We stood for a long time staring at each other “so are you going to tell me why you were crying or not” step back a bit he still had my hand so I couldn’t move to far away from him “it nothing I just miss my family mow let go of me we need to go to class” he stared at me he stroked his thumb over my hand like he did earlier but then I felt like someone was watching us I look over Theo shoulder something moved to quick for me to see my grip on Theo’s hand tighten the thing that moved just a minute ago was still there watching us in the shadows I couldn’t see who it was or what it was. I looked up at Theo he was staring at his eyes shining as bright as ever I looked over his shoulder once more the thing wasn’t there anymore it just disappeared into thin air my hand even more tighten round his hand so my now knuckles were white. He look down at me with concern and something unfamiliar in his eyes I stared up at him with fear. It felt like everything around me was spinning the next thing I know I’m waking up in Theo arms I could feel the grass underneath me “you ok” Theo voice was soft I tried to stand up but when I was standing up right I nearly toppled backwards Theo grabbed my shoulders to keep me upright “that answers my question I’m going to take you to the nurses office”. I shook my head and moved from under Theo hands that was a bad move my head was spinning it felt I was going collapse again. We stood still for ages “Crystal I think you should go and see the nurse” his voice was filled with concern but I refused again so we just walked to geography together.
When we walked into geography so asked where we been and seated me next to Theo as he was the only one with a spare next to him. We sat down and Mr. Dom gave me a book and went back talking to the class about floods and how they are caused. When he gave us our task to do we got on with it without talking to each other it felt like he was ignoring me.
After geography I got all my things together quickly and left before Theo stop me from leaving so he could talk to me. I met up with the other to sort out where we were meeting each other at we all agreed we would meet at the cinema. When me and Tiff got back to our room she went straight to her wardrobe and started pulling out her clothes and chucking them on her bed and mine. We took ages sorting through hers and my clothes before we found something she was wear a sparkly top what hangs on one shoulder and demine shorts with tights on her feet she was wearing dolly shoes. She made me wear one of her sisters old strappy tops what show off my curve and not my chubbiness I’m wearing one of my shorts skirt with tights. We finish getting dressed when Tiffs phone rang it was Lisa tell us there ready at the cinema so we better hurry up and get. After she hung the phone we rushed to tidy up all the clothes then do our makeup and hair. We just finish just finish in time for Lisa to call again to if we’re left yet.
The sun was setting when we were walking out of the gates of the school the breeze was very cool so we rapped up warm in a coat. When we reached the cinema we spot the other sitting on a bench in front of the cinema chatting there don’t see us till were standing by them. We all brought the ticket and we chipped into Bridie’s ticket. We sat down at the front to watch new moon Tiff was explaining what new moon was all about when we sat down and she said she would lead me the books and the DVD of the first movie.
When the movie was over we chucked all our rubbish in the bin and then we started towards coco when we saw Theo and his lot I didn’t see them at first until Bridie pointed him out I stared at him he turns round like he felt me staring he looks me up and down then he looks into my eyes he doesn’t look very happy. One of his friend stared over at us he looks away and nudged him forward so Theo would start walking again. I stared after him that when I see Emily walk out from an alley with Kiaya by her side Emily walks over to Theo and puts her hand into his. I feel sick and I don’t know why I don’t even like him I only known him a couple of days and he can do whatever he likes to do. The way I feel most have shown on my face because one of my mates asked if I was okay I just nodded and started to walk the other way “Crystal you’re going the wrong way it the other way” oh great we has to walk the same way as them I don’t think the night can get any worse. When we finally got to coco’s we got some drinks and sat by the bar. When we were on the dance floor dancing i spotted Theo and Emily walking through the door I thought the night couldn’t get any worse I was wrong. I carried on dancing to try and ignore the sick feeling i felt when I first saw them together today but it was really hard to do that when there right in your face “Crystal you alright you look like you’re going to be sick” Bridie shouts over the music I just nod and turn away from Theo and Emily and move towards the bar Bridie follows me. As we sat down at the bar i turn towards Bridie “Bridie I don’t know what I’m going to do how can I like him I only known him for a couple of days I want to hate him he gets under my skin and thought he liked me but here with Emily” after I finish speaking I looked over my shoulder where there were. Bridie also looks there way “Crystal I thought he liked the way he looked at you when he came looking for you he fooled both of us Hun” she smiles at me I smile back I turn back towards the bar and order a drink.
We dance rest of the night until we had to leave we got outside into the fresh air what was very chilli. I started to walk when I felt the same thing I felt when I’m in the school ground that thing was watching me I turn around no one was behind us I started to walk fast I didn’t feel safe out here I wanted to get back to the school “Crystal slow down we not going to be late we’re a bit early we thinking of going to a cafe for a drink” I shook my head “you lot go I’m going straight I don’t feel well” I said goodbye at the cafe there were stopping at.
When I was one my own I felt worse I picked up my speed I looked down the alley I had to go through my senses told me to find a another way round I backed away and rounded around a corner I had no idea where I was going. I rounded another corner there was something following what I could see in the dark it didn’t look human the vibe from it was really bad. My heart beat picked up a notch my breathing got heavier as I picked up even more speed feeling even more scared than I ever had in my life. Whatever was following through the empty streets I know I couldn’t give up and face this thing? Whatever it is it wasn’t a good idea to let it get hold of me. I wish I stayed with my mates at the cafe it was a stupid idea walking on my own now I’m getting stalked by some weird thing what smells really bad. I hope I can hold on until sunrise and people are walking about then I will be safe or it might be a bit earlier if my friends relies that I’m missing their might come looking for me please say their will I don’t think I can hold that thing back if it get hold of me and I already scared out of my pants thinking about what it could be. What if it some mass murder dress up in a weird costume or it could a prank played on me or am I tiring to make myself be braver than I am. I hear something break behind me that bring me back from my trails of thought. I peak over my shoulder to see what it was it was too dark for me to see what broke or where the thing is and how far away it is. I never been scared of the dark in my life but now I think I might now. I hear a shallow breathing not that far away from I hear something scrape a cross the ground. The sound something scraping a cross something metal like a nail made me cringes in pain the pitch screech was painful for my ears. The thing what was making the noise started to laugh not a nice laugh. I felt like bait something that being reeled in by it prey. My heart started to beat faster I hear it laugh one more time I can’t stand it I slip out of my high heels pick them up and leg it ...............
