"Kelly, I've been watching you for quite some time. It all started when I saw you at your 8th grade spring concert. At first I just thought you were a girl that was very naturally beautiful. But you had me when you sang your solo. And, ever since then I have been silently watching you. Every night I haven't been able to stop thinking about you, your voice still fresh in my mind. Don't you get what I'm saying? I love you! I love you with all my heart Kelly Parker!"
I was speechless. I truly did not know what to say. It's not everyday that a boy you just met confesses his undying love for you. All I could do was sit there and stare at him. He was matching my gaze with his own.
Those two glowing blue eyes seemed to penetrate me, deeper and deeper into my mind. Gently, he picked up my hands and held them as if he would never let them go again. I feared that he never would. He broke our gaze as he turned to look out the window at the moon. Or at least that was what I thought he was doing until I realized it was the night of the new moon. It was a cloudy night, so the stars were hidden as well. The sky was completely dark. He stared out at the black sky but said
" Kelly, its late. You've had a tiring day. You should get some sleep. We can continue this tomorrow."
He rose and led me to another room, which had a canopy bed in the center. The canopy was made of black lace, which reached the floor and encircled the bed. He walked me over to the side of the bed and sat down, with me following his lead.
"Lay down." He instructed.
I obeyed instantly. I didn't realize how tired I was until my head hit the pillow. It was softer than silk. All the pillows and the comforter were made out of black silk. It felt so heavenly on all of my aches. I felt the bed move as he leaned over closer to where my head was.
"Goodnight Bright Eyes. Sleep well. I shall see you at dusk."
He smiled and brushed my cheek with the backside of his hand. It was cold, but that didn't bother me. He rose, and walked through the door, closing it as he went. I looked around the room.
There was an open window, where the black lace curtain was blowing from the incoming breeze. I thought "this could be my chance to escape! I mean, what was I doing here? Sleeping in a strange place with a boy, right across the hall from me, who is supposedly in love with me! I had made up my mind on what to do as soon as I got outside when I heard something coming through the wall. At first I couldn't figure out what it was, but then I recognized the tune. It was "Music Of The Night" from "The Phantom Of The Opera". But it wasn't the same phantom voice that I was used to. It was somehow different, still beautiful, but all that more alluring and soothing.
" It must be him…" I thought. I knew that if I was going to make my move now would be the time, but my eye's began to fall. They became heavier, and heavier. I couldn't stop it. Everything went dark. The last thing I remember was the sound of his voice, alluring and soft.
