of space inside. There was a Mattress on the floor and a wooden table on the other side of the room, with a pot of pencils and colour pencils too. There were two wooden chairs and some big bean bags next to the bed. On the bed was the blue blanket I used before and another thick Blue Duvet and a Blue cushion.
“ welcome to my home.” He said drastically.
“wow you live here all by yourself?” I asked looking round the room.” “so what do you do here”
“I read, there are a lot of books over in those two white boxes, or I write some songs with my guitar.” He replied now sitting on the bed.
I sat on a green bean bag that was as big as my Desk. This is fun I guess, it’s so peaceful.
“Aren’t you lonely here?” I asked
“no because most of the time I look at you from your garden, it makes me feel less lonely.”
“ Where are your parents? Don’t you have any brother or sisters?”
“ no I’m an only child, and as for my parents I don’t want to talk about them.” He said looking down towards there floor.
“ sorry”
“About what?”
“Every time you look down or away when I say something that you don’t like and I know it , which makes me feel like I’ve said the wrong thing.”
“Forget what happened just now. What did you bring with you? Have you eaten breakfast yet?”
“First things first I have forgotten what happened just now.” Placing a finger on my temple I turned it a bit. “There forgotten. I brought quite a lot of things.” Emptying the contents in my bag. “And no I haven’t had breakfast, but I brought an apple with me.”
He sighed and took some biscuit out of his bag. “I did some morning shopping and stocked up” he said shaking the tin of biscuits a bit.
“What else did you buy?”
“I brought bread, water, croissants, crackers, and sweets.” He said dropping all the food onto the table from the bag that he took out , that contained the foods.
“Great, what did you eat for breakfast?”
“I ate nothing, this is my breakfast” he said shaking the tin with various strength to prove his point.
“ then let’s have our breakfast here, then, we can do the things we want to do.” We ate. Then we did our own thing We both slept for about 5 hours. When I woke up he did to it was 12:30, we lay there thinking for an hour listening to the music on his iPod. I lay down on his mattress reading whilst lying on my stomach. Then I heard the familiar strumming of guitar strings, and the husky voice I would recognise anywhere. It sang:
‘Hmmm, I got a lot of things, I have to do
All these distractions, our futures coming soon.
We’re being pulled, a hundred different directions,
But whatever happens, I know I’ve got you.
You’re on my mind; you’re in my heart,
It doesn’t matter where we are, we’ll be alright
Even if we’re miles apart….
All I wanna do, is be with you, be with you
There’s nothing we can’t do, just wanna be with you
Only you….
No matter where life takes us,
Nothing can break us apart; you know it’s true,
I just want to be with you.
Just be with you …..
You know how life can be
It changes overnight
It’s sunny then raining
But it’s alright
A friend like you always makes it easy
I know you get me every time
Through every up, through every down
You know I’ll always be around
Through anything you can count on me
All I wanna do is be with you, be with you
There’s nothing we can’t do
I just want to be with you
Only you
No matter where life takes us
Nothing can break us apart
You know it’s true
I just want to be with you …
I just want to be with you.’


“That song is beautiful” I exclaimed sitting straighter “where did you learn that?”
Tapping the side off his nose again he said “it’s one of my other secrets.”
“ how many secrets do you have?”
“if you try to be with me longer, and try to figure me out, you might found all my secrets one by one.” He said sliding his guitar back into his case.
“What time is it?”
“it’s 4:00”
“it’s time”
“what time” I asked standing up too quickly, I fell down onto the mattress again. Thomas came and helped me up pulling me by my right arm with his right, then looping his left arm round my waist. Huh. Oh man , I hope I’m not blushing.
“what’s the matter am I making you uncomfortable? You stiffened so suddenly.” He said tugging his left arm away.
“No, No You weren’t making me uncomfortable, I just feel stiff after lying there for so long.” After that he didn’t put his arm back, and now I know I knew that I made him uncomfortable, not the other way round.
“where are you trying to lead me to?”
“I’m trying to lead you to my other entrance, sorta like a back door. But more like an open balcony.”
A back door, sorta balcony? What is he saying? He led me towards the back of the house behind a thick black curtain. There was a door there he opened it and walked out into the landing. I walked uncertainly over to the landing standing next to him. There he stared out into the distance, but where in the distance? There I saw it. There was a sunset. It was the same one, well it looked the one I saw the morning he shook me from my sleep. It was beautiful.Magnifico, it looked like a water painting that blended it’s colour in a blender, that mixed it’s colours together. None of us said anything in the first few minutes, but Thomas was the one to break the silence first.
“Beautiful isn’t it?”
“Yeah, do you get this beautiful view every day to yourself?”
“Yes I do, but I’d rather share it with somebody, somebody like you.”
“wow that’s quite a compliment, because that means that I am a great company to be with.”
“ I guess” he said chuckling quietly.
“Did you know that we slept for 5 hours, what did you have a late night last night?” I asked without looking at him.
“Yes last night was a pretty tough one. I couldn’t sleep till 2 in the morning. You?”
“I couldn’t sleep till 3 in the morning. Hey let me get my pad so I can draw this down on my pad. Can I borrow you Colour pencils, I forgotten mine. And before you say it I’m not going to hurt them or lose them or break them or blunt them. You know seeing as you’re their only partner, or should I say they’re your only partner and company.”
“Hey what’s that suppose to mean, and I weren’t going to say what you thought I was going to say.”
He said glaring at me, but not for real, he was having a laugh inside I could see it in his eyes.
Quickly before the sun set I drew the sunset and tried to shade the colour and layers rightly so I could get as close to the actual sunset colour as I could. By the time I was finished the sun only had a quarter part left above the horizon.
“There all done you can have the picture” I said ripping the picture carefully out of my pad and handing it over to him and signing on the back like a true artist. He took the picture carefully and walked back into the house, he set the picture on the table and searched in his draw.
He carefully took out a wooden Frame, and slipped my picture into the gap of the frame, and hung it up on the wall where he slept.
“There, your picture just brightened my room.” He said pointing at the picture then opening his arms wide. “ come on I better bring you home, it’s getting late.”
We went down the rope ladder, I looked back and up at the tree house, wondering if I would ever be able to come here again, on my own, without being blindfolded and guided. Will he ever open up to me and tell me his secret, or should I say secrets. Silently I let him blindfold me again. Maybe he wouldn’t open up to me, because he doesn’t trust me or he can’t. He carried me and I sank in to his arms, I fell into a deep, sweet dream against his strong chest and the soft steady beat of his heart.
By the time I woke up I was in bed already. I woke up with a start trying to a just to the darkness around me. It was 6:00. Tiredly I trudged down the stairs. The lights were on and there wasn’t just one voice in the kitchen downstairs. When I was down in the kitchen, my father eyed my mother and went out with my brother, who was laughing like mad. What’s so funny?
“So,” my mother said, sliding closer to me, well as close as possible, because we had high chairs like the bars, which were covered on top with black leather.
“….So, what?” I asked now eyeing her.
“Who was that guy that brought you back?”
“Errrrrr” I racked my brain as harder as I could. Guy? Oh Thomas. Brought me back? Oh right I think I fell asleep. Shit I hope I didn’t dribble, that stupid habit that I never seemed to break from. “ what you Thomas?”
“Does this description help you? Tall guy, probably 5 ft 7 or 8, Black wavy hair, Light brown chocolate melting mixed with hazel nut coloured eyes, quite muscular, probably a six pack?”
“Mum, his names Thomas and don’t say what you said to me in his face because it will be so embarrassing, plus I’m not sure if he has a six pack, I mean come on please.”
“When did you meet him? Is he your boyfriend?” My mother gave me a nudge with her shoulder, ewww what happened to my mother, she’s talking to me about boys. Come on please my workaholic mother is talking to me about boys. Whist making my sandwich, I picked up a wooden mixing spoon and pointed it at my mother. “ Where’s my mother gone what have you done to her?”
“Put that down you idiot I just want to know more about you after moving here. Your mothers right here nothing’s happened I just want to know more about your friends, though he is just you friend right/ or is there more?”
“No there is nothing more, and yes we are just friend.”
“You didn’t want to leave him you know.” She carried on; I shot her a what-are-you-talking-about- are-you-crazy look. “ when you came back, your father tried to take you from him, but you tugged onto his shirt. Your father had to pry you off. He smiled at you then nodded and turned to leave. He didn’t say another word, and why does he wear that ridiculous mask.”
