That Night
Chapter
Three
The car ride was quiet, Jake had
tried to come up with conversation starters but I just wasn't
in the mood to talk right now. In about five minutes we finally
arrived at Jake's house. He steps out and opens the car door
for me. I see myself standing outside a quite a big house; the
garden was very neat and beautiful with all the colorful flowers
around. "How did you afford a house this big?" I ask,
trying not to sound rude.
Jake laughs slightly, "It's funny, you said the exact
same to me last time you came here," He suddenly goes quiet
and his faced seemed to of dropped slightly, "well then,
shall we go in?" He asks nicely, I nod while Jake goes to
get my bag in the back of his car; I didn't have much,
probably everything got left at my old home.
Jake opens the door and I slowly walk in reading the texture of
the building, it was amazing, it was like I was in some sort of
castle only this time it was much smaller than one. "You
seem to like it, I'm glad." He says. Quickly he claps
his hands and a nice lady came rushing through, she had long
black hair and seemed to be wearing a uniform. Maybe she is
Jake's servant?
Jake asks her to put my bags in my room, and right away without
hesitation she does what he had asked. "I would like to take
you somewhere, I know you will love it." Jake says with a
big grin on his face. I follow after him up the stairs and
eventually we stand in front of two big doors. He slowly turns
the handles and lets me in. I look around and it was a big
library, my eyes glittered while looking at the amazing books
every where, I felt like going up and picking out all kinds of
books. "Feel free." Jake says as if he had read my
mind. I happily walk towards the shelf and look around for
interesting titles, 'Be my mate', 'Information about
cats' and many more. I eventually I find one which looked
quite old, it read 'That night.' I pull it out and walk
towards the table Jake was sat on, "so, what did you
pick?" He asks, his eyes widen when he see's the book
I'm holding, "I'm sorry but, you can't read that
one. How about we talk first, you probably have a lot of
questions." He takes the book off me and slowly puts it back
into its place, his face looked disturbed while he was doing it,
what was in that book to make him pull such a face? He soon after
comes back and sits opposite me. "Who, are you? What do we
have?" I ask.
"I don't know if I should tell you, I mean, you
don't remember me after all, it might be too soon, I
don't want you getting confused." He replies.
I frown with the answer, "but, I want to know, after
all I am going to live with you, I need to know who you are
at least." I respond.
"Fine, we... we... we're," He pauses for a second,
"Close friends."
"Thats all?" I ask uncertain, I feel like he's
hiding something.
"Yea," Silence went through the room, "well, you
hungry? Want anything to eat?" He asks, obviously trying to
change the subject.
I shake my head, "No thanks, I'm okay." I
reply.
"Then I'll take you to your room." He offers.
I follow after him and we went up a couple of sets of stairs. I
finally reach my room. I twist the handle and walk in. The walls
were pale purple, it had two very big windows which also had a
balcony. I rush to see the view, its so pretty, the sun is
shining on the beautiful red and pink flowers, the trees greener
than ever. "I new you'd like this view" Jake walks
up to me while looking out of the window. I nod gently and
smile.
"Jake..?" "Yea?"
"Did you know my parents?"
"Yea, we got along real well, they were a bit strict, you
would complain about them alot, but I new you still loved them.
You look just like your mum to be honest, think she was a
beautiful lady, just like you." My heart started beating
faster all of a sudden, it was unusual but I felt close to Jake,
somehow, but how?
"O-oh.. thankyou.. I guess.." I reply while facing
down.
"Well I will see you later, I will give you time to unpack
feel at home." With that he leaves while closing the door
behind him.
