Chapter 5: Sorry letter.
I haven’t talked to Thomas for a long time; I never even set foot into the back garden for 3 weeks now. I didn’t hear or see him for these weeks. Every night I slept, a gnawing would start in my stomach, and my heart would ache like I’d lost something special. Why is he doing this to me? I don’t even know him. What is this feeling? For these few nights I couldn’t help but look outside my window towards the garden.
One morning I woke up and found a letter on my window ledge, as I looked out the window again.
Tess
I’m Sorry about that day. I just can’t take my mask off, I hope you understand that. And if this answer isn’t good enough then I’m guessing you don’t want to see me anymore. If you don’t mind my mask anymore, then meet me in the garden at 4:00. I will wait there for half an hour, and if there are any blockages or wrong timing I guess that means we were never meant to meet and we just aren’t right to be friends.

You’re mysterious Guy
I’ll always be waiting. . . .
Thomas
I read the letter over a few times. I will meet him.
I went to school as quickly as possible. Every time it was near the end of lesson my heart races, and I’m sitting there wishing it would go as fast as my heart was going. By lunch, I was beating myself up about why time was so slow. I think it’s just my consciousness playing with me, some old people, like my dad thinks that time passes quick. That’s because when you’re happy, time goes quicker, but when you’re desperate you will think that time is slow because you want it to go faster. The bell went, thank god for that I thought lunch would never end. 5th period was art that was when I was when I decided to take his portrait out. Today we were going to paint whatever we want. So it took his portrait out and started sketching, then painting. I painted His eyes a light blue so light that it looked like it was ice. Then I painted his hair black with bits of light black to show the different shade in his hair. He wore all black and he was sitting on the wooden swing like that day of the sketch. I drew him pretty little in the middle of the page about the size of a A4 paper on the A3 paper. I then used a super thin brush to swiftly add colour to each petal of the flowers and vines that winded it’s way around the rope holding the brown rope. I than Drew a big shape of a heart around him, and a keyhole right behind him. I painted the outside of the heart and the swing and Thomas round the edges, than I painted the heart red. I Painted the inside of the keyhole black and the edges a yellowy-gold that I made by mixing bright gold to yellow. I Drew vines and thorns with little flowers and petals on the outside of the hurt. The flowers were on the Vines that was twisting itself around the thorns. Suddenly miss Hilton asked everybody, to hand in their paintings , so she could place them on the rack to dry. When it was my turn I placed it on the table, and miss Hilton looked at me than at my picture. Eyes still on the picture she said, “It is a wonderful picture, good work, I saw that you was very concentrated on it. Well done.” Not knowing Usui was behind me I stopped when I saw that he had his eyes on my picture. He looked at me than he looked back at the picture. Slowly I turned away and walked up the stairs to form.
By the time I got home it was 4:15, shit I thought. I wonder if he’s still waiting for me. Being careful not to be too loud I walk outside towards the garden. There he was he had his eyes closed and he was lying on a swing bench a white one, you know the ones you would see outside in a garden. He laying there with his arms crossed under his head. I walked over to him and look at his face. He looked fairly handsome but I’m still wondering what’s under that mask of his. But I’m not going to look inside the mask that he likes to keep on. Because once it’s done, it’s done there will be no going back. “Hey you came.” He said sitting up suddenly wide awake. Lucky for me I weren’t that close.
“Were you awake?” I asked looking away
“Nope.”
“Okay, I’m sorry I snapped about you mask before.” I said sheepishly.
“That’s okay I just don’t like it when people get mad at me then stop off without another word.”
He said.
“I know but why didn’t you ….” I started to ask.
“But why didn’t I chase after you?” he said
“Well, yes” is aid looking at him straight in the eye.
“I’m pretty slow in reactions so I didn’t know what to do.” He explained
“Fine, Shall we start over again?”
“Sure. Hi, my name is Thomas Damon.”
“Hi my names Tess.” I couldn’t hold it anymore and I burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“Nothing it’s just it’s starting all over again with you and I know you already.” I said the laughing in my throat died away.
“Yeah, I guess it’s pretty funny” He said looking around.
Before I could stop myself I asked him “Where do you go to school?, actually do you go to school at all?”
“I can’t tell you, I want to stay mysterious, and it’s a secret.” He said tapping the side of his nose.
“Where do you sleep or live?” I asked
“I show you in a few days time.”
“I look forward to it.”
That day we sat and read and did a lot of other things, and then he walked towards a bush and brought out a guitar case. He set it down beside me and sat down between me and the case. He silently took out a Light brown guitar that was dark brown on its side.
“What are you doing with a guitar?”
“Shhh” was all he said. He started strumming a few strings.
He then started singing with song………
By the time he finished, I had my eyes closed, and I was drifting into sleep.
When I woke up, I found myself covered in a Deep Blue Blanket around me. There was a blurring of orange and yellow.
“I thought you’d never wake up.” A voice said beside me.
I turned a little bit to my right. I was sleeping on Thomas’s Shoulder the whole time.
“Are you okay” I asked
“Yeah, what about you? Did you enjoy your beauty sleep princess?”
I laughed “what time is it?”
“About 6:30”
“It was about two hours and I’ve been sleeping on your shoulder the whole time?”
“Yep”
“Ouch, your shoulder must hurt.”
“No because you spread most of your weight on the Tree Trunk we were leaning on.” He said patting the tree trunk.”
“Did you leave me to get the blanket?”
“No it was in my case.”
“Well I should get going you know about my brother.”
“Yeah. I had a great time today maybe we could do this sometime again.”
“Yeah sure” my heart was beating normally, but I felt a warm fuzzy feeling all over my body why?
“Thomas we could do it again 2mo”
He grinned at me and put out the fire and walked into the shadows caused by the Trees.

Chapter 6: Secret Hideout
Today I woke up feeling like a new toy, Shiny and fresh. It was 9:00. I grabbed a white elbow length shirt and my strapped Red shorts . I put on my white shirt then my black thick tights, and then my shorts over it tightening the straps. I quickly put on my red converses, and packed my black backpack, with my book a note book , drawing pad and pencils and my water bottle.
“Honey why are you up so early?” my mother asked wearily coming down the stairs, “sweetie do you want me to cook some breakfast for you?”
“No thanks mum, and apple will do.” And I ran out the door before she could say another word about breakfast. I looked at the cherry red apple in my hand. I walked towards the woods.
I looked around at the different colours in there. Suddenly blackness evolved round my eyes “Guess who it is?” a husky voice asked. I would never forget this voice.
“Thomas.” He let go turning me around.
“How did you know? What clue did I give you?” he asked shaking his head.
“you didn’t , I just recognise your voice. I could recognise it anywhere.”
“really? Remember before when you wanted to know where I lived let me show you. But you have to be blindfolded on your first arrival.”
“okay” I agreed
Then he slipped a Red cloth around my eyes and put my hand in his. First I was pretty freaked but his hand was warm and guiding. “hey this bits pretty hard to walk on when you’re blindfolded, would you mind if I carried you? there are a lot of vines and thorns and pricks and…….”
“Look you don’t need to explain yourself, just do it I just want to get there.” I said.
Slowly and carefully he carried me on his back. I had my arms round his neck so I could feel his pulse. It was beating quite quickly right now. I could feel his breathing on the back of my hand. They were quick short breaths.
“we’re nearly there.”
We walked another five minutes with me in the dark. As slowly as he had picked me up he set me down, pulling the blindfold off.
“we have to climb a bit but don’t worry I have a rope ladder.” He explained
“ I have on to because I sleep in the attic.” He went up first and I went after him, we were climbing up a step ladder into a tree house. The house was made of wood, there was a lot
