The Truth Must Hide

Chapter 4: The Morning After

Saturday morning was not as expected. Silver woke up in the arms of her English teacher . . . Ryan Matthews. But for some reason, it felt perfectly natural . . . like it was supposed to be that way.

"Good morning," she whispered when his eyes finally fluttered open. He smiled at her, his blue eyes were warm as always.

"Um . . . last night . . ." he started nervously.

"I won't say a word, don't worry." she replied reading his thoughts.

"How did . . . oh yeah that's right." he said instantly remembering her secret ability. She smiled widely in return.

What are you doing for Spring Break? he thought.

"Not much, I don't have any plans."

Why don't you come with me to my beach house in Palm Springs?

"Really? Are you sure?" He just shot her glance. "Okay then, I guess I'll be spending Spring Break with you." she smiled again, this time blushing a little.

Saturday Afternoon

"Where were you yesterday after school Silvie, I couldn't find you." Naomi asked.

"And your cell phone was off," Adrianna added.

"You had us worried sick," Annie jumped in.

Silver remained silent as she laced up her tennis shoes.

"I'm leaving for break," she said almost in audibly.

"What? Why? And you didn't answer the first question." Naomi replied.

"Last night, I had a date and he took me to Cold Stone in San Francisco. Spring Break, I am going bye-bye because I want to spend some alone time with my boyfriend in Palm Springs." Silver answered.

"Cold Stone?"

"San Francisco?"

"Date?"

"Boyfriend?"

"Leaving?"

"Palm Springs?"

The three girls began bombarding her with questions.

"Yes," she stated simply.

"So, who is he?"

"What's he like?"

"Do we know him?"

The once again began to bombard her.

"Listen girls. You three are getting a bit antsy." Silver said finally standing up. "I don't want to tell anyone who he is until I'm sure that our relationship won't be a complicated one. He is extremely gorgeous, a little taller than me, blue eyes, brunnette ha--"

"Is it Mr. Matthews?" Naomi asked. Silver's eyes automatically glared at Naomi's.

"Are you out of your mind? Me? Matthews? What would even give you that idea?" Silver questioned very seriously.

"Nothing, just sounds like him . . . OMG . . . what was I thinking? You? Ryan? NO FREAKING WAY!" Naomi laughed. Silver cracked a nervous smile. Which only Adrianna seemed to notice.

"Why don't we start the game," Silve suggested quickly.

Saturday Night

Silver made sure she had her bags packed, since she and Ryan were leaving the next morning. She picked up her cell phone and called him.

Hello?

"Hey, it's Silver,"

Oh, hey, you got your bags packed already?

"Yeah, I just finished not to long ago."

What made you call?

"Oh, nothing... I just missed you is all."

Awww....my little Silver missed me? Silver could never stand a guy call her his. But this she didn't mind.

"Yes . . . your little Silver missed you very very much and felt like she was just dying to hear your voice or she was just gonna totally lose it."

In the Car

"Oh God, you wanna choose the music?" Ryan asked nonbelieveing for fear of her choice.

"That depends. All I have with me Is Rob Zombie, Slipknot, Flyleaf, and some really awesome 80s rock music. Not you is it?" she questioned with a smile.

"Just put in whatever you want sweetie," Ryan said. Silver shrugged.

"Okay," She put in Slipknot and changed to track seven, which was Scissors, her favorite song. (A/N: awesome song, check out on youtube or something.)

When they finally got to Palm Springs, Ryan leaned over and caught Silver's lips in a passionate kiss. She tangled her hands in his hair and pulled him closer. She slipped her tongue into his mouth. They went into his beach house and once again made love throughout the whole night. Ryan knew that he was in love with her, but he knew that he shouldn't be with her.

When they woke up in the morning, Ryan looked down at Silver's still form.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Ummm...yeah, I'm fine." she answered hesitantly. Ryan kissed the top of her head, which rested on his chest.

"Something's bothering Silver. You know that whatever it is, you can tell me." he said. Tears instantly slid down her cheeks as she sat up to get dressed. "Silver, honey, talk to me. What's going on?"

"Oh nothing, why don't we try the fact that you feel like you shouldnt be with me!" she yelled, her eyes automatically red. Ryan jumped up and pulled on his boxers andjeans from the night before, which were residing on the floor.

"Silver, it's just that I'm your teacher. You're my student. It's against the law for us to be together, and baby, I would get into trouble if it means that I can be for you. I would get fired if it means that we can be together baby. I love you and I never want to lose you. But I also love my job, and it's the way I make a living. Listen to me Silver, if I go to jail for our relationship, then I can't be with you. Plus to make matters worse. You're seventeen so you're still considered a minor honey. It would be counted as statutory rape. I can end up spending 5-20 years in jail fopr this baby. We can make ourselves exclusive as soo as you turn eightteen. But now I'm thinking that I'm just gonna make this my last year teaching in West Bev."

"Don't do that," Silver spoke softly. "You can't give up something you love for me."

"I can't give up something I love for someone I don't love. But that isn't the case. I would rather spend everyday with you than be an English teacher." Ryan said gently stroking her cheek. With that, he caught her lips in another passionate kiss, even more passionate than the one from the night before. They slowly stripped eachother down and he layed her down on the bed. He climbed on top of her and they made love again.

They were truly soulmates.

They truly loved each other.

But they didn't know that the worst was yet to come.
