Chapter 4
Shadow POV
"Great there gone and I'm bored!" I complained playing with my lighter. "I was gonna light Ian's hair on fire and call him sparky!" Yeah when I'm bored I get violent and some times it involves fire. That's why Leo's eyebrows are uneven.
I don't know how many times I've lit people's hair on fire. I've never lit Zack's hair on fire. He's a good boy and never deserves it. I tried lighting Silent's hair on fire. He chased me around with a tree branch telling me if I ever lit him on fire he'd shove me in a tree trunk and leave me. With in 5 minutes we were laughing. I've never lit Talia or Brights hair on fire. They throw a hissy fit and yell at me for ruining there hair. It's funny. Fire. It's a girl's best friend. I sighed and repeatedly flicked the lighter on and off watching the flame.
Suddenly Silent got up from where he was and came over and sat down next to me. Really close. I didn't scoot away though.
"You know... its not so bad having the others gone" He said drumming his fingers on my knee.
"Yeah...It's just us" I said in a low voice, keeping my eyes on my lighter. He slowly reached over and took the lighter out of my hand.
"Shadow" He sighed, "I need to tell you something...I need you to listen" He took a few deep breaths.
"I'm listening Silent and you know you can tell me anything." I said sincerely. He looked as though he was debiting.
"Alright..." He took another deep breath, "Shadow. I love you" I froze. Did he mean it? Or was this a prank from Leo and Ian. Cause if it is I'm gonna beat those boys.
"Y-You Love me" I stuttered. I had never felt like this before. I did Love him. He was more then a best friend, more then a brother. He was the only person I completely trusted in this group. He knew all my deepest secrets.
Suddenly he stood up. "This was a mistake" He mumbled starting towards the mouth of the cave, "You obviously don't feel the same way" I shot my feet running after her shoving him into the wall of the cave.
"I love you too" I said crashing my lips against his. He was startled for a second, and then wrapped his arms around my waist kissing me back. I threw my arms around his neck.
Soon we broke apart breathing heavy, but smiling. This was amazing. Finally it had happened. I was with the one person I truly loved. I one and only person I truly and utterly cared about.
"Alright. I can't take you seriously as a Blonde" I said patting his cheek. "Let's get your hair dying back to the normal color" I moved my arms from his neck and walked over to Talia's pack grabbing the hair dye remover.
"You sure you can do this?" He asked sitting on the ground.
"Talia and Bright did it. How hard could it be?" I said opening the bottle. The others were gonna freak when they came home to see our hair normal...
