Tormented Life

Secrets

I walk out of the bathroom leaving Autumn to cry over her crush moving away and Shannon comforting her. I don't even know where to start looking for Dan. I think of all the places I've seen him, history, art class, the cafeteria and then when I first arrived at school, when I first met Dan, when I first saw his strong chocolate eyes. Near the gate. I sprint to the front of the school. I can see him sitting where he was before. I try to be silent so he doesn't hear me.
"Hey Fay," he says still looking away from me. I suddenly feel guilty about coming here and start walking back, "Stay," he orders. I don't know why but I want to walk closer and sit there with him, stay there with him. Instead I just stand there like an idiot. Finally he turns around to me. Now I see why he didn't want to turn before. He has tearstains on his cheeks and his chocolate brown eyes are glassy.
"Dan, What's wrong?" I ask. He pats the floor at least a metre away from him. I walk over and plonk myself down. I look at him again, "What's wrong?" he takes a deep breath and starts to spill his secrets.
"When you were sad about you mum because she would be gone for two days, It made me remember my parents, they would always go out, drink, come home late and then slap me to sleep, They both got charge and were sentenced to death, after that I was sent to an orphanage because I have no other family alive, at the orphanage they treat me badly, not as bad as my parents, but still pretty bad," He confesses.
"Dan I'm sorry if I knew I-" Dan cuts me off by putting his finger to my lips telling me to be quite. He smiles weakly, "Dan..." I whisper sadly. He still looks miserable. I place my hand on his to comfort him. He wipes his face with his other arm. I watch as his smile turns from weak to strong.
"C'mon, we'll be late for class," Dan says.

We both only notice when we get back to the cafeteria that our hands are still linked. We both notice at the same time.
"Oh umm yeah sorry umm..." We both stutter. I blush, a lot.
RIIIING!!!!!
