We walk quickly into my room and I lock the door, not wanting a pregnant, snoopy Alice in here.

Hoody looks around for somewhere to sit and I sit down on my bed, patting it.

He smiles and comes to sit next to me.

We sit there, saying nothing for a few seconds.

"I know you're hiding your past from me," he whispers, turning his body toward me, facing me. I sigh and turn to face him too. "I told you mine, tell me yours… please?"

I bite my lip and think for a second. Then I nod.

"Ok," I say and he settles, watching me.

I grip my arm.

He notices and pulls my arm away. I tense as his fingers carefully brush the jumper that I'm wearing back.

He gasps when he sees the burn and I wince.

Because surely he thinks I'm disgusting.


Ooh... he's seen her scar...

What are u thinking?
