Just Let It Go
Eight
My feet pounded on the pavement as I ran in the direction of my school. Sweat was pouring down my neck so I unzipped my sweatshirt. My breath was steady. I was enjoying myself.
After persuading my mom to believe that I was perfectly well, she agreed to me going out. I continued to take walks or jogs close to the woods. Yes, I still don't have the courage to go inside but at least I can walk next to it.
I was still looking back at my school when suddenly I collided with something hard. I let out a small 'ow' as I fell on my back. That 'something hard' laughed. I looked up into Paul's smiling eyes.
“Hi Sophie, I'm sorry,” he said and offered my his hand, still laughing. I offered him a smile and took his hand. He lifted me up easily.
“Where are you going?” he asked and I shrugged as I looked around.
“I should probably go home,” I said when I noticed that it was getting dark.
“I'll walk with you?” he asked and I nodded. We started walking toward the direction of the house.
“Do you always hang out around here?” I asked Paul as we walked. The air was cool and, despite my being hot just a second ago, I zipped up my sweatshirt.
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“The reservation is far away, isn't it? I always seem to see you here,” he said.
“Well yeah, life in the reservation gets boring,” Paul mumbled. He was uncomfortable so he changed the conversation. “You like running?” I shrugged.
“You're very steady, I mean everyday you're out here,” he noticed and I frowned.
“How do you know?” I asked him. Paul rubbed his neck.
“I uh..I've just seen you this past week,” he said.
“Are you watching me Paul?” I teased him and he laughed.
“I wanted to talk to you but I was afraid you'd run from me,” he said, hinting to the last time we walked together. I chewed on my bottom lip, not saying anything.
“I haven't seen you around Forks before,” he said.
“Yeah, I moved back here just recently,” I explained and he nodded, not asking anything. I know my tone may have been harsh but I didn't want him to pry. My mother has finally stopped interrogating me when I come home from school.
Paul was just about to say something when we saw a car coming toward us. We scooted closer to the side and the car slowed down next to us. It was a one of those expensive cars, a Mercedes I think. The window rolled down and I saw Dr.Cullen. He smiled at me.
“Hello Sophie,” he said to me and nodded at Paul. I noticed that Paul had stiffened next to me and wasn't looking at the doctor.
“Hello doctor,” I replied.
“You've taken my advice,” he stated with a small smile.“It's good that you're not doing this alone. Support is always needed.”
I wanted to protest and say that Paul wasn't my support but I just smiled.
“Any more dreams?” he asked and Paul looked curiously at me. I felt uncomfortable. I didn’t want Paul to know about my past.
“Just a few but not every night,” I said quietly and Dr.Cullen nodded. He glanced at Paul who openly glared at him. I was a bit shocked by his behavior.
“That's good, they'll soon disappear,” he said and drove off with a 'good-bye'.
Immediately Paul was on me. He kept firing questions at me. How do you know the doctor? What dreams? What advice did I take?
“Look, it's a really long story,” I finally answered.
“I haven't got anything else to do,” he said simply. I didn't know how to get out of this one but thankfully my house came into view.
“Sorry Paul but I've got to go,” I said and jerked my head toward the house. He smiled.
“Okay but you're not getting away that easily, I'll still find out next time,” he said and I managed a smile.
After we bid each other good-bye I went home. It was funny but for some reason my heart fluttered when I realized there would be a 'next time'.
