5. Chapter 5

"Bella?" Mike called through the house. I could hear him faintly somewhere in my mind but I couldn't pull myself away from the window. I sat there, staring out the window in my bedroom that over looked the tree's around the house. The rain pitter-pattered against the glass in a steady downfall blurring my vision as I looked for any sign of movement from the boy I had met hours ago.

"There you are." He sounded out of breath and worry coated every word. "I was worried about you."

I turned slowly, taking in his rugged and wet appearance, his hair plastered to his face, his chest rising and falling quickly. "I'm fine."

"Good." He strolled into my room and leaned his forehead against mine. "How was your day?"

"Just fine." I sighed looking up at his closed eyes. He pulled away slowly, careful not to put too much pressure on me.

"Nothing interesting happen?" He smiled letting his eyes look out the window, a shadow passing slightly over his face as he, I presumed, wondered what I had been looking at.

"Nothing at all." I considered telling him about my strange blog question, or the even stranger visit from the stranger in the woods. "I was actually wondering something."

Mike laughed way to loudly in the expansive of the small, quite room, clutching his stomach and then opening his eyes wide to take me in. "You're always wondering things."

I glared at him till the smile subsided and seriousness washed back over the conversation. "I was wondering if anyone lived close by."

He thought for a second. Considering every possibility. Then he turned and started walking towards the door. "I don't think anyone lives close by. No one new anyways."

"Are you sure?" I asked looking back out at the rain.

"Pretty sure." He paused at the door and looked back in, I was already staring out the window but I could feel his eyes on my back. "Good night Bella."

I heard the click of the door as it shut behind him. Had it really gotten that late already where it was already time for bed? I continued to stare out the window lost in my own thoughts when my computer dinged. I jumped at the sudden noise and quickly clicked open the question that had been submitted to my blog.

'The rain is beautiful. What do you think? -E'

I took in a sharp breath of air, wrote my reply and then laid down on my bed, wrapping up in the warmth of my covers.

'Everyone wants happiness, Nobody wants pain. You can't have a rainbow without a little rain. Goodnight E.'
