Chapter Seven: Thinking
A few days passed without anything exciting happening. James internal bruises started to heal. That was the thing about the spell it never left a mark. The only scars were in his mind and the only lasting pain was emotional. Maybe physical scars would be better then he could prove to his parents what was happening. Tom was too cunning though he would never leave evidence.
Sometimes James wished he were as smart as Tom. Sure Tom was evil but he was also dead clever. His parents were intelligent people and it took a lot to fool them but Tom had. Tom fooled him for a time too. James thought that if he was as brilliant as Tom he could get rid of Tom. But would Lily hate him after that?
Lily, the bright light in his dark, he would hate it if Lily despised him. He didn't have to worry about it even so because he was not as smart as Tom. The red angel would remain his friend ever more. But how did he even know that Lily was really his friend, what if she was just like her uncle, clever and cruel. Tom couldn't hurt him the way she could.
Friends, that is what they were and he needed her. He could feel it in his bones, in his guts, or where ever else you felt these things. But what if... what if she was like Tom? He couldn't imagine her doing that, which would make her the same as Tom. Hadn't Tom also befriended him? Was she also there to pull the wool over his eyes?
Lily, his angel, would never do that to him. He barely knew her though he felt as if he had known her forever. There was so much about Lily that he didn't know. That was going to be his new goal, to find out everything there was to know about Lily.
What was her favorite color? What was her favorite game? Questions like that filled his head. What else would he ask, would she want to know anything about him? He never had a friend and this was his big chance.
"James, honey Tom and Lily are coming over tomorrow," his mother yelled up the stairs.
This kind of news usually mad James tense up, but this time he almost jumped and cried with joy. Lily was coming here his angel was coming here! But Tom was coming too... and he knew that Tom would deal out pain. Not even that could make him though fell bad now because Lily was coming over!
R/R!
