I couldn't sleep the whole night. My cheeks were red as hell, and my smile was over the moon. After a long time, it was reaching till my eyes. All that was on my mind was the events of last night.
In my bed, staring at the stars, I had gotten for my ceiling. the ones that glow in the dark, providing some kind of light in the darkness of the night.
After the attack by the men, we were sitting on the little mountain of the society. There were two little mountains on either sides of the park one of which we had named mount Nobigrow. we had every spot named to use as a codeword so no one other than us could understand, and by us i mean me and Aaril. Yes, i did do the exact opposite of what Arzhel had told me to. though i had swore i wouldn't but how could i just ignore him after he saved me.
If we do a little Flashback to what had happened when the men attacked me. I expected the worse but on what i had lost hopes. Aaril did come. It didn't take him long to knock the man holding me out before he looked at me and gave me a single order in his most devastatingly godly voice. "close your ears and shut your eyes".
I was too scared to argue and listened without hesitation because it couldn't be worse than being taken by men 2 times my size or being traumatized with the violence that i always ran from. within about 10 minutes my nose gained its senses and my fear only enhanced when i smelled something utterly disgusting. BLOOD.
My breath hitched when a hand grabbed me tightly but it quickly turned into reassurance when i heard his voice again. my only ray of hope. "just a little longer tiger".
He dragged me off to a little far and i blindly went along him. Even when i knew i shouldn't
i trusted him blindly, i believed that he would never do something wrong, believed that he'll never leave.

Sitting along side my so called new friends was indeed pretty boring. It wasn't that "they" were boring it was just that they were boys and i was a girl. It was their first time having a female friend and in the name of boy's talks they would always boycott me like i am not gonna understand any word they say. They didn't do it intentionally and i wont blame them either knowing full well it was their first experience too but i was getting bored and it didn't help.
so, i decided to do a quick little escape.
There was this spot under my tower near the basement and it had a high area to sit on. it had 3 levels one was the plant bed with bushes as its border along with a tree in the middle that had beautiful yellow flowers along its leaves that shaded the sitting. the second level was the border of the basement which was parallel to the sitting yet a little lower. we used to both climb to the top, the third level where we sit. now between level 2 and level 3 was also an area that was completely hidden from every angle except the top.
Moving my tiny feet towards the area, i was on quite the opposite side of my destination. i wasn't surprised that they didn't notice my absence i was always too good at leaving quietly or maybe too used to being around people who didn't value my presence. Just as my lonely self started to leave alone i felt a presence follow me and i could see the shadow behind my own. I didnt have to turn to know who it was. I didnt say anything just let him follow.
Reaching to the spot i climed up and he stayed down. I took a moment to contemplate why he did that. for respect? must be but i didnt expect such respect from a man like himself. Neither did i neither did he say a single word. Just silence and yet it was the most comforting thing i've ever felt. I wish time could pause there. Just stay with him there with no words, no noise, just me and him in pure silence.
Sometimes when loudness was once destructive even silence feels like peace no matter who it is with
