Hi

I don't own this i have got this all written but my laptop is about to die on me so the rest won't be posted to later tonight or tomorrow.

Secret


Alan didn't know why and he didn't know how but here he was sitting in the girl's room talking to her like he'd known her for years. It felt really weird, but at the same time good, that he could finally talk to someone without worrying about how they were going to take what he said next. But then came the difficult bit she told him, "My mum and dad were all I had and now they're gone."

She then turned to him, "What about you, who do you live with?"

Alan sighed, "I use to live with my dad and brothers but they didn't care, they always teased me, so I ran away now I live on my own in a rundown house I found."

"Wow that's so awesome!"

Alan was surprised, "You really think so?"

"Yeah, I love to live in a house and have no one to tell me what to do!"

Alan smiled, "Yeah it is pretty cool but sometimes I miss my brothers as I'm always on my own."

"I've always been on my own my mum had a problem with her fallopian tubes so the eggs couldn't get through to her womb, they were going to see about using one of the eggs that was removed at the same time as me could be turned into a baby. Now that's not going to happen!"

Alan smiled and then sighed, "I better go!"

"Why?! Don't you like me?"

Alan laughed as Faith pouted, "No I really like you but." He sighed, "My last name is Tracy and my family and well a lot of other people are looking for me and can't risk being recognised."

"But I've never had a friend before," Alan looked shocked and she continued. "Everyone thought I was weird with my eyes. I bet you're thinking I'm weird now!"

"NO WAY!" Alan all but yelled and the quieter when he saw her face, "Sure your eyes are unusual but I think they're cool. I'd love to have eyes like that instead of my boring blue ones."

"Your eyes aren't boring one minute their the calm before the storm and the next their the storm." Faith and Alan laughed as his mind began to wonder, when was the last time he'd had a conversation like this? Before his mum died? Probably. What was this feeling? It wasn't love so what was it? Friendship? No it was stronger…something like a brother sister relationship! And he didn't want it to end! But he knew it would have to…unless… "Would you like to come live with me?"

"What?!"

"Well you don't have to it's just I've never met anyone like you and…" Alan trailed off and looked around the room, embarrassedly, until Faith's hand touched his.

"I love to! But how would we make the doctors let us leave?"

Alan grinned, "Maybe we don't have to here's the plan…" and leaned towards Faith.

-Line-break-

Alan climbed out of the window, then turned around and helped Faith out the window, doctors had checked Faith over and the only problem they found was her arm which was now in a cast.

Alan and Faith climbed down the wall and then walked away from the hospital like they didn't have a care in the world so no one paid them any attention.

10 minutes later they were 'home', "it's not much but its home."

Faith turned to Alan and grinned, "I think it's brilliant!"

Later when Alan was in his 'bed' he heard the floor boards creak, thinking it was an intruder, he silently crept out of bed and walked to the source of the noise and was surprised when he saw Faith. What's more she was sobbing, "What's wrong?"

"They're gone! They're really gone! And it's my fault!" She sobbed.

Alan sighed and sat down next to her, "I'm not going to say 'I know how you feel' but my mum died in an avalanche when I was three and I always thought it was my fault, as I survived, but it wasn't and this isn't your fault!"

Faith leaned into him and whispered, "I always wanted an older brother."

"Well now you've got one and I have a little sister." When Faith didn't reply, Alan looked down to find she had fallen asleep. He smiled, made himself more comfortable and fell asleep to.
