CHAPTER 5- CONFIDE IN ME.
Hilary stood quiet, various thoughts rushing through her perplexed mind. She knew she was out and staring at him like anything but he didn't met his eyes with her ruby for a few seconds, He turned to her and faced with a face was that of stern and mature; looking deep behind the ruby eyes, and here was she who was wondering what to say and standing bewildered and muddled. They stared at each other for a few minutes in silence.
"What? Wouldn't you say something?" Tyson broke the silence in a calm tone seeming much familiar with what was going up with her.
She didn't reply. She was embarrassed and at the same time angry for him discovering the truth much sooner. She stared at the floor, her fingers curled into fist behind her back.
"Tyson." she said softly finally.
"Yeah Hil, can't we talk inside, it's damp and cold outside here. You should have worn an extra top."
She slightly blushed and unlocked her room.
Hilary ventured inside, Tyson following her from back. Her mind raced through variable questions. Ohh my! I was right! Tyson was here before but when and how. I think that it leaves only he who could answer all my questions…But what am I gonna say about this...an-
" So Hilary, how are you feeling?"
Her thoughts were promptly interrupted.
She was nervous yet didn't meet his eyes. She gazed at her lap avoiding his face. She sat on her bed and dragged a small couch near her bed for Tyson.
"I am fine Tyson. You don't need to worry"
Tyson grew a bit angry yet he nestled it for now was not the right time…
"Are you mentally fine?" Tyson asked smiling.
"Yeah Tyson!"
Hilary's heart started skipping beats, that she felt could be heard easily, her chest feeling abnormal pain for hiding it from him, her stomach began gulping out of fear.
She strongly stared down, bending her head a little so her brunette hair covered her face. She closed her eyes and could imagine Tyson questioning her and she been dumbstruck and trying to hide with some kind of foolish reasons. Her mind raced and a kind of ache started in her head. Her heart seemed to be throbbing like a drum.
Suddenly she felt warmth on her forehead, a deep and yearned warmth, full of compassion and love. She didn't need to figure what it was. Tyson brushed his soft lips against her forehead to soothe her mind and relax. She didn't opened her eyes and sat peacefully her hands suddenly wrapping around his waist under his red jacket and burying her head against his soft stomach, holding him tighter.
I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so I can't let you go
Want you in my life
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky
They wipe away tears that I cry
The good and the bad times we've been through them all
You make me rise when I fall
He placed his head on her soft brunette hair terminating his soothing kiss when she buried her face in his chest soon when he sat on his knees, holding her neck with his cold hands. Tyson wanted to retreat from this position after a few minutes so that he could talk and find out what was the problem and soothe her. But the immense pain she had in her heart buried deep inside immensely forcefully had erupted out like a volcano in the form of silent tears being shed that drenched her face wetted the centre of his red jacked. The pain was shed. She knew that Tyson was worth trusting and worth confiding. She longed to hold and get a shoulder to cry on since the past month, but the mere arguments between them ceased her from doing so...
"Hilary... don't cry. I am here now, right, so why are you worring?"
She didn't answer and held him tighter.
"P-lease be quiet, Ty-son" she said bleating in hiccups and tears.
He passed his soft fingers through her hair comforting her and placed a small kiss on her head…She finally retreated and looked at him, in tears and weeping, her cheeks turning pale and a red examined her wiped her tears with his soft jacket and eventually drying off the last wet bits of tears with his own cold fingers .He sat beside her and waited.
"I am sorry Tyson, I didn't said you about this...I-"
"It's okay Hil, no problem"
She began to feel weaken the pain eventually subsided, her heart relaxed and she closed her eyes nestling the ruby eyes. She sat quietly her head lowered, her hands on her lap, on her jeans denim, her brunette hair swinging aside hitting his cheeks like anything.
"So Hilary, Why? Why did you do this?"
"I left my ho-me Ty-s"
"Wh-wh-att?" He staggered, gaping.
There was silence.
"You left your home?" he asked startled, looking at her eyes staring down with immense perturbation, that if looks could have killed, the floor would have been vandalized long ago.
"Yeah. Wh-at did you thought?"
"Ah!..um..nothing.."
"Spit it out, Tyson. Don't hide.."
"I thought, that…you were, k-kicked out
He said meeting her eyes wide and clear.
Hilary stared at him in amazement
"No, I weren't"
"So then why you left your home?" He asked longing for an answer apace.
"There are reasons Tyson, reasons!"
Now they were facing each other rendezvous each other's eyes, the ruby in maroon and the maroon in ruby.
"I was tired, angry, hurted, upset and traumatized by constant bickering and taunts.'' she shed a tear that rolled down her cheek.
"W-What?"
"Yeah, I was chided for the silliest mistakes I committed, for not concentrating on what I did and much more, that seems so trivial but means like hell to me. I know nobody would support me."
"So it was your parents?"
"Yeah! You know I was patient , I'm not mean, selfish, childlike. I have my strong reasons for my departure…It offended me deeply." her voice chocked as she spoke.
"Hmm... I see. I never thought about that hil." he said snappily, he looked around not wanting to see her.
She bent to see his face to understand the cause for his displease and whim annoy. Her mind raced through variable surmises and fears…
"Tyson. What?"
"What?" he snapped back.
"Why are you angry? Did I anything wrong. I hope you don't oppose my decision..."
"Hilary it's your decision and you gotta figure out yourself if you were right or not... deep down... You know the truth dear."
"What do you say?" she skittish little .
"Can't say. Figure out yourself and make sure you listen and judge to both the sides of your heart besides your mind."
She muffled and began to pounder. She slowly hushed.
"Is that the only thing you're upset about?"
" NO it isn't the only thing!"
"So what? What? Say it!"
"Hil, whatever your reason might be, but why, w-why w-why you stayed here. You could have been with us in the dojo as you used to reside in the past..!"
"Um..I..I..don't know!"
"Spit it! You know. Say!"
"Because I was afraid about your all reactions! It's not that I don't Trust you but still I want to be more secure, it's not that grandpa won't agree but I don't want you to have sympathy. I would have no place to runaway to show you that I was angry whenever we had our arguments, I don't want to burden you all. I would have no place to run away to show you that I was hurted or angry whenever you blurted out me saying the harsh and meaningless words that mortified me...because I…..want to …live on my own….on my own.." she pierced her voice and blurted. He was still gazing at her with no clues and a gapping mouth pondering over every word she said…
Silence. Dead silence. No one spoke for a couple of clouds occupied the plane sky. The blue dominated by the pure wind streamed the curtains hanging freely carefree. The photo frame shivered that was adhered carefully by Tyson the last time to the wall. The brunette and navy hair fluttered about each other...The thunder rumbled and thumped, yet not a sign of a raindrop. The doors shut and blustered the walls. Signifying the intensity of the wind, dragoon shivered and it sent a thrill shiver to his spine. Both of them had remorse for what they blurted at each other never wanting to offend the other.
"I'm sorry" she finally hushed
"I'm sorry too. I never meant anything I said you in our arguments… the words just came out…"
"Serious?"
"Yeah!" he fakes grin.
"Oh! I never knew."
"Hmm"
"But Hil...how do you afford to stay here?"
"I know that would come. I work here as a cook. I get up early at 5:40 and work at pizzeria, beside the chocolate parlor from 6 till 7:30 and then I prepare for our institute what commences from 8."
"You are working this hard. Why're you burdening yourself?" he nearly whined.
"I have to...They pay me."
"How much?" he asked curiously
"Enough to pay the room rent and pursue for my own expenses. I don't need to worry for college cos you know I got scholarship. I can work hard for that. Education won't be a problem. "
"Please Hil...stop this."
"No I can't. I have to move on now."
"You can stay in my dojo as others, Max, Ray and even the cold kai...you see." he bellowed in pain..
"I'm fine."
"Don't you worry about where you will go "he yelled his nose touching hers almost again in those old arguments? But this was full of feelings. Hilary dint glared at him but looked behind his maroon eyes trying to see the care he really possessed for her .She smiled at his glare that shivered him.
"I don't worry about it.."
"You do. You just said that. You can make me understand that you are angry in many other ways like you could punch me; call me a jerk, not giving me food. Oh yeah that much'll be really much intolerable but I'm ready to bear. But please return home...Please." he wept closing his eyes, his lips curled in anger and pain inflicted. "I can't see you undergoing such uphill task and pain. You can live a happy life like any of us. I'd never call you big mouth or witch of 8th grade." He stopped allowing the tears to roll freely...his eyes carefully nestled under his streaming navy hair…
"I never knew you could be so solicitude and caring." she said slowly and meaningly.
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
"You never felt? "he asked doubtfully
She blushed slightly and looked the other side towards the entrance door…
"I knew you fool! I just said that now!'' she punched him in his chest.
He collapsed back in her bed but sure enough to grab her waist with him. They collapsed on the beret, lying side by side gazing behind each's eyes, wordless and mere centimeters apart.
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older..
She gazed at his personable and stunning matured face, his navy blue hair gushing in hair, his eyes yearning, coveting for her, his hand on her waist and the other one on her cheeks, his fingers gently brushing her pure brunette hair and appealing face. She shivered seeing such immense and strong yearning in his eyes…She doesn't wanted to break this moment but she pulled back and got up and sat up looking at him still lying where he simply looked at her his elbows folded behind his head."What was that Ty-"
"Nothing. I don't know. I just longed for it."
"HUH? You W-What?"
" Yearned for it!" He said his eyes straight piercing in the ruby's and smirking in relish.
"Oh!" she blushed like a tomato
She turned her gaze to the flying curtains up above to 180 degrees streaming and merrily dancing.
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older..
"Thanks for all the sympathy you gave me. I'm sure I'm never alone till you are there and I'm happy that you never meant anything you said in our arguments nor did I ever."
"Oh! I knew that but-" he said with goofy smile.
They gazed at each other like they would never be with together again…Savoring each moment in relish and longing.
She broke the moment by commencing a conversation.
'Tyson how did you knew about me?'' she asked puzzled.
"Uh! ..um..I just knew..don't ask me that!"
"But how?" she protested yet not screaming.
"Leave it Hil, I dint shadowed you. I just knew.."
"Hmm So tell me one thing."
"What?" he squealed.
"Have you been here before? I mean inside, here?"
He immediately shifted his gaze to the elegant couch where he was sitting before, not wanting to say about his secret visit.
"No, obviously not!" he said chocking.
"Lie!"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"I don't know, exactly, why you are lying, just say the truth. I know you were here before and more precisely, you were here yesterday or much recently! "she protested with confidence.
He froze at her sudden protest. How come she knew? I am sure she was sleeping and she just said how, she really, man, is damn clever. What should I say? What? Think! Think! Think! I can't be caught..!
" Hey you Mr. Hot shot, you have taken your enough time. Now speak out fast!" she demanded
"Hmm...I ll say. Don't be harsh. please.."
"Yeah! Go on!"
"I was here before, yesterday, you were sleeping. So I didn't disturb you."
"You were here when I was sleeping, but how you got in?' she asked curious and nervous..
"Like I was saying, the door was unlocked."
"W-What? It really was?" she asked in unrest.
"Yeah! You should be careful, see that's what I was saying, and move on from here, you can live with me...us, in the dojo." he said sadly.
"Hmm...Please give me a break. I'll think about it and don't be sad with my answer." she said with regret.
"Of course…Oh lets go now, we have wasted an hour! Guys might be waiting for us!.." she stood up and began to make her way to the door, but she suddenly felt a hand grapping her waist strongly, she could feel the warm fingers folding around her waist and her neck being wrapped by the other hand. It throbbed at the rate of her heart. She looked in his yearning eyes and their noses and lips mere centimeters apart. She held her hand around his neck and continued gazing in relish…
She couldn't give him what he yearned for, maybe later, but not now, in this cramped circumstances.
He smiled or more precisely smirked genuinely.
"You know Hil." he began elegantly, "I am and will always be there for you no matter what happens. And it's a promise. You never gonna be down."
So baby don't worry, you are my only
You won't be lonely, even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only, no need to worry
Baby are you down down down down down, down, down
Baby are you down down down down down, down, down
Even if the sky is falling down down down
He placed a small yet passionate kiss on her forehead compelling her to close her eyes because you know the best moments aren't ever seen they are always felt by the heart.
He departed and started to make his way out Hilary following him and locking the door meticulously, her mind racing through multiple concepts and perceptions .First, how come he know about me living here? He sure had something...But what? And he said that he didn't even shadowed, then what? And his attitude and feelings towards me are penchant and yearn. It's not that that those kisses infatuate me, he just started to give me gave after third world championships as means of solace and comfort whenever I needed or more frank, when we had arguments, they became frequent lately and were confined to forehead or seldom cheeks, it was never him blushing, his pure intentions, and me yet nestling the deepest yearning and I always flushed like a tomato or a red rose. And now I'm walking with him with him in mere silence…that throbs.
The pains of hearts would have gone less
if I and you had become 'us' instead..
How good the weathers would have become,
had you and me become 'us' instead..
Without I don't get peace,
I don't get calm..
All those illusions would have gone away,
If I and you have become 'us'..
Love is incomplete, world is incomplete,
fulfil my wish please.
This heart just wants,
that your and my story should be complete.
Every problem would have become easy,
had me and you become 'us'..
There is nothing remaining, but the heart doesn't agree,
This heart's things, the heart only knows.
We'll both meet somewhere one day,
On this hope alone am I alive.
Every destination would have been easy [to reach]
Had me and you become us..
They ambled in peace and silence never breaking it until they reached their destination.
It's nine. Where's Tyson? Where's Kai? Where's ray?
Kenny and max were up at 7:30 and were surprised to discover the absence of the three beybladers…
"What's wrong with these boys?" Kenny agitated
"I don't know" Max yawned, "Kenny. They are enjoying life." he seized his yawn.
"What? Are you gone mad Max, just like them. I'm surprised on kai too. How could he be also like Tyson…and Ray, oh I don't Believe what's going on. They hadn't showed up yet!"
"May be I'll too be like them Kenny in the very near future!" Max smirked
"Wh-Wh-at? Oh Please Max Stop it!"
"Yeah! I know!"
"Hilary! Stop it, let's go now! We are already late!"
The voice of a navy haired beyblader and the voice of a brunette could be heard…It enlivened both of the beybladers hearing someone's arrival.
They entered inside the dojo and saw the cross and hyper faces of their friends asking for an explanation…At the very next moment, both the other beybladers, the Chinese blader with his friend and the solitary Kai showed up!..
"Hmm..this morning is awesome. The sun is bright unlike the chilled past." Ray cheered
"Yeah Ray things are gonna be awesome now and we'll train harder from now on and sorry Kenny I just left early!" Tyson enlivened
"Hmm..so everything is back now Kenny don't worry and now... Smile."
"I don't know what you guys are doing! Let's Practice!"
"Yeah Kenny I brought the schedule today." she took out the neatly folded chit from her pocket and handed the spectacled blader. "I'm sorry I didn't showed up yesterday." she smiled
"Hmm it's okay. But you know it really gave everyone a day off!"
'Oh!"
Kai stood still gazing at the brunette lady, deep in her ruby eyes. He knew there was something behind that ruby eyes and much more in that nestled min, the depressed thoughts. What's up with her, I can clearly make out something is wrong but what is Tyson aware of that. He should have known after all he lo… Whatever. But I'm not still sure about one thing and I think that's my only chance. Had he confessed to her already? It doesn't seem so but he does know all about her. I guess have to find out anyway! What about Hilary…who will she chose if she ever had to between me and Tyson after knowing about both of us. Maybe, or for certain she'll chose him but let's not despair. I have hope. And I have to confess fast despite the fact that Tyson had already or she rejects me. I won't have to regret the double later for never being able to confess..
He looked at her with zeal and urge, his desperate attempt to confess his feelings even though if it would be late. His thoughts were interrupted.
"Kai, you okay bud?" Tyson placed a hand on his shoulder
He coldly removed his hand and ambled towards Hilary. Tyson wondering about the current.
Kai ambled slowly and looked at her.
"Why?" was his only question and word.
"Huh?" Hilary turned her face from Tyson to kai, shifting her mind regaining back her senses
"Why haven't you been here yesterday?" he asked in the cold tone..
"Oh! I'm sorry."
"It's okay Hilary but that doesn't answer my question?" he said calm
"Hey Kai! Didn't she say sorry! Now stop bothering her she have her own reasons!" Tyson blurted in rage his hands waving at high frequency in air
"Its okay Tyson. Kai is the captain. He has a right to ask me." She explained Tyson assuring him to be calm... "Kai, I'm sorry. I was really fatigued yesterday." she smiled at the captain.
It only hurted him, he turned away. She never knew how that smile influenced him, it ached his heart.
"Tys, you hungry?"
"Starving Hil! Starving" he smiled gently
"Don't worry dear. I'll get some delicious food for you right now."
"Huh?" Ray mumbled
"For all you guys! Wait for me!"
Tyson was on the seventh sky. Desperately hungry and waiting impatiently for fooood!
I really wanna stop but I just got the taste for it
I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon
So honey hold my hand, you like making me wait for it
I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah
Late night watching television
But how'd we get in this position
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love
But I need to tell you something
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
Tyson softly serenaded…So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older..
Kai shot a spiteful glance at him and the others just stared him in surprise. He sang melodious and smiled euphoric that appealed everyone.
"Tyson..?"
"Yeah Ray?"
"When did you learn such beautiful singing?"
"Hah?" he blushed in embarrassment. They heard him. OH but please he had to tell them sometime.
"Ah! Just mumbling; learnt from now where... Life taught me." he flushed in happiness!
"Hey bud. Are you in love?"
"Hey bud. Are you in love?" Max smirked his hand pushing Tyson's stomach embarrassing him
He grew red like a tomato. He stared them in fear and fright..
"No...Nothing like that!"
He looked at Kai who turned away and began to retreat.
"Now say! You can't hide from us!" Max and Ray held him from sides pressurizing him and at the same time, taunting his love..
"Hey! Stop!" he shouted in fear.
"What's going on here?" a feminine voice interrupted them.
Both the bladers released Tyson and smiled sheepishly.
"Nothing Hil" Max answered a small smirk evident on his cute lips.
"Well, everybody get ready, get inside. I baked some cookies for you all. Come inside." With that she left pacing inside. Ray and Max smirked at each other and carried Tyson placing their fingers tightly on his mouth so he won't scream and running way out in the dojo. They lifted him and disappeared..
"Guys where are taking me!" Tyson said in a funny voice their hands still on his mouth.
They took him by the river and released him on the tender green grass. They stood smiling at each other giving him some time to catch his breath. He coughed and crocked.
"AHHU! AHHU!"
"Done Tyson..?"
"You guys!" Cough. "What do you want?" Cough
"Answer!" Max stated
"To a question!" Ray completed
"W-What? For that you brought me here? Hey lets go back..Hil might be waiting for us..!"
"Uhhu, no. First you answer us and then we will travel at a huge speed carrying you. She won't be worried at all, Tys." Max smirked
"Hmph ..!" he folded his mouth in anger not willing to answer
"Hey bud, sorry! We don't mean to hurt you. But please don't keep us waiting."
"Yeah don't get us wrong. Now say it!" Ray demanded
"Okay, give me a break!"
"Hmm. We are here waiting. Take your time!"
"Not longer"
Tyson pondered. What should I do, should I say them? Yah! Maybe I should, after all I said that to Kai, the least concerned cold blader, jerk! Well they never know that he is in love too! Don't they see that? Why only catching on me. Yeah because I was singing. But I couldn't stop. Hmm…Now they won't let me go until I say. So spit it Tyson!
"Yeah I'm in love with certain someone."
"Yeah! I knew." Max was excited.
"Now that answers your question, so shall we leave?"
"Hey! You hadn't yet said about her. Who is she?"
"Huh!"Tyson groaned.
"Hey tell us that!"
"Now you will then ask me how did I fell in love with her, and when and all. Your questions won't end!"
"Hey Mr. Hot shot. You ain't going anywhere until you answer that!"
Tyson felt helpless, compelled to say. Hmm. He had to. He looked at them stern..
"I LOVE….. HER!"
They collapsed at his mere jittery. They immediately rose and held his collar like some burglars and began.
" Hey you! You aren't going to fool us like that. Just spill it!"
"Okay guys, I give up. But leave me first. I'm not a criminal you are holding like!"
They pulled back in least fright and longed for an answer.
"I LOVE HER MY LOVE WILL NEVER CEAESE FOR HER. I'M MAD AT HER."
"Awwww!"
"I LOVE HILARY!"
They stood jovial, excited and surprised, elevated on the uppermost heaven. They gapped their mouths and their jaws dropped. Tyson walked towards them closing their mouths and assuring if they were not destined to a mental hospital..
Both the bladers gave a genuine smile to him and mere truly happy for him for he chose the perfect girl. They hugged him at once nearly pushing him backwards. They were blissful and congratulated him for his love
"Wait a go buddy, you chose the correct person."
"Huh? Really?"
"Yeah! We never thought you would be in love with her. You two use to fight quite often and hurt each other but finally it all ended up for good!"
"Hahaha...ha!" he gave his goofy blushed laugh
"Did you confess to her yet?" Max asked
"Not yet Maxi but I'm sure the perfect time will be soon here, you see.."
"Hey you fool! You gone mad or what?" they stormed at him
"Wh-h?"
"YOU should say to her soon! Before it gets too late,"
"Yeah I heard one shouldn't delay in such matters, you know it could hurt you and be worse!"
"Like what?" asked a worried Tyson
"Hmm. see..buddy..Hilary is a beautiful and smart girl, anyone can fall for her. So…you see what I mean..."
"Haaa! No that's never gonna happen! I'm going to confess my love to her right now. NO-ONE HAVE A RIGHT TO FALL FOR HER…SHE IS MINE!" he screamed from the bottom of his throat almost shivering at the thought. And breathing heavily and desiring to defeat that very unfortunate person badly in a beybattle! His heart throbbed and a weird feeling in this chest ached him. He was nervous and febrile. But when he knew that he already defeated him last year?
Both his friends moved back in fright. They were staggered. They never knew that Tyson was so passionate for his love. They could have understood that for Beybattles but they never had clue for him being yearning for his love. They slowly approached him and placed slowly and carefully a friendly hand on his shoulder.
"Listen Tyson, we were just advising you. I hope it's not late. Calm down."
He moved ahead, Max's hand dropping from his shoulder, thinking exactly what he was going to do...He had fire in his eyes and a strong determination. He started ambling with heavy treads soon running at variable velocity.
Calm down Tyson! Calm down ! Relax. Why am I ardently shivering and aching. Why my body blaze like anything. Something is sure going wrong. She is waiting for me..I don't know I don't Know! What's going on! He had grown too perturbed and anxiety that he actually started to feel the urge to vomit. Yeah that happens when you are under such apprehensive and stress circumstances, what Tyson Granger was undergoing right now...This aint any right! Hilary! I'm coming. I'm coming !.Deep Down Tyson, Deep Down..
He stopped. His body froze, his heart stopped, his mind given a mental shock and pricked. His body shivered in fright. He could hear a window shatter, but he soon realized that it was not a window, but his own heart, shattered into million pieces, perhaps that could never be joined back. He panged and tingled. He saw a brunette lady with ruby eyes, red jacket and black to with jeans denims. His jaw dropped and his eyes filled with gushing was not just her but an another person who stood with her, closer than they should.
