Chapter 10:

I know I was going to regret what I was about to write to him but he needs to know. I was leaving in a couple days and I couldn't lie to him any longer. My hands hung over the keys of my computer but I couldn't leave without him knowing. I finally pulled all the courage I could and began to type.

Lonelyboy17: I will meet you under conditions. First when we meet I want you to be blindfolded before I come into the area or room or wherever you want to meet. You will understand later but I need this. Second you need to promise me that after this you will still at least talk to me on here. No matter what happens just promise me that. Please.

I waited and waited and he didn't write me back before I had to get to classes. If I didn't go I would have been sent to his father for a check up and I didn't want that. So I went to classes and the time went by slower than normal. It was driving me crazy. Finally at the end of the day I ran back to my room and opened my computer. My heart skipped several beats when I read his message.

MagicLover: Lonely you are scaring me. I don't understand why you would want me to wear a blindfold unless I already know you. Have I been telling all my secrets to someone that will tell them to everyone I know? Who are you? You want me to promise to still talk to you on here, so that means I will be angry about who you really are. Now I don't know if I want to meet you. This is so hard. My heart is saying to meet you that you are someone I can trust, but my head is saying don't fall for it. Run away while I can. What should I do? What can you tell me about yourself?

Lonelyboy17: I want to tell you more, I really really do. But you need to meet me for me to do that and I stand by the conditions I said before. You can trust me Magic, I promise you that. I also Promise I would never hurt you at least not on purpose. It is up to you if you want to do this. Just let me know where and when. I will wait for your reply. It's the weekend. But remember I will be leaving soon. Monday morning, today was my last day at school. So please if you decide to meet me, let me know soon.

He didn't write to me back that night or the next day. I was starting to think that he was going to change his mind and I would leave and be married before we could figure anything out. I was too chicken shit to just go to him myself. If he didn't want to meet me I still had the hope that he would still write to me like this. Still trust me enough to tell me what was going on in his life knowing I have not said anything to anyone about it. Saturday night passed and Sunday morning I woke up to knocking on my door and someone walking in. My wolf whined as I saw my Father standing there.

"Father what are you doing here. You're not supposed to be here until tomorrow." I said to him as I stood up from my bed.

"I came early to make sure you are packed and ready to go in the morning. I see the packing has not even started yet." He said as he looked around the room.

"I was going to do it today. I don't have much to take with me." I told him and he nodded.

"I will be back soon. I have to go talk to the headmaster for a moment and thank him for having you here for this short time." He told me before he walked back out of my room. I opened my computer hoping to have something from Magic but I didn't. My wolf howled at me.

Lonelyboy17: My father is here early to make sure I am packed and ready to go tomorrow. If you want to meet we have to do this today. Please I'm desperate now. I don't want to go . I have so much to tell you but like you I can't do it on here. Please you can trust me Magic. If you decide not to, I will be gone from here first thing in the morning. I will write to you again when I get back to my fathers and I pray that you will write to me back at that point.

I sat there on my bed staring at the computer waiting for him to write back. It felt like the room was starting to close in on my so I got up and started to pack my things. It only took half an hour with my eyes darting to the computer the whole time. My father came back into the room a few moments after I was done and I closed the conversation on the computer, wanting to still hear the sound if he wrote but not wanting my father to see the message when it happened.

"Good I see you are packed. I want to leave tonight instead." He told me, making my heart sink.

"What. I don't get to say goodbye to my friends in town. I was going to see them tonight." I saw his eye twitch and I knew that wasn't a good sign.

"I said we are leaving tonight. If you want to say goodbye to them you have until eleven than we leave." He told me. I looked at the clock and saw it was now one in the afternoon, please Magic write me back.

"Alright. I will write to them and see if they can meet sooner." I lied to him and he nodded his head and left the room. I quickly grabbed my computer and saw nothing there, my heart sank again.

Lonelyboy17: Shit Shit Shit where are you..........My father wants to leave tonight at 11. If we meet it has to be now. Please where are you? Did something happen? Now I am starting to worry.

Lonelyboy17: It's now two o'clock. I am starting to think you really changed your mind. I am sorry, I really am. Just know I will always be here for you when you do want to talk. Meeting may never happen if not today and I hate that. Be happy for me and Smile for me.
