The Hidden Truth

Chapter 4

Mila's POV:

"Hi" 

I turn around hearing someone right behind me. I look and see that it's Nick. I give him a confused look before closing my locker, having no idea why he is here.

"I was wondering if you are going to be busy during the free period?" He asked.

I think about it before answering him. After all my thoughts I decided that whatever I do I can't stay away from him no matter how hard I try. So pulling all the courage I had I looked at him and told him I was not busy during the free period. I could see the look of relief on his face. It just so happens that the free period for both of us is the last class of the day. He told me he would pick me up in the music room and then we can leave for the day. I told him I had to be at my job at 4:00 and he said he would just drop me off. We went our own ways to class. Have way through the lesson I zoned out thinking about Nick. Was this a date? Or are we just hanging out? Why ask now? Also, why do I feel this way towards him? Like we are supposed to be together? But we cant and no matter what he can't know what my uncle does to me. 

Nicks POV:

The whole time I'm in my classes I can't stop thinking about what we're going to do today and also the fact that she said she would hang out with me. I couldn't wait. 

After long and boring classes I made my way to the music room. I walk in and see her sitting there writing something while humming. I got and sit next to her.

"Hey," I say making her jump and look at me with fright.

"I am so sorry, I did not mean to frighten you." It takes her a minute to calm down.

She looked at me "No I'm sorry I was in my head and didn't see you come in it's my own fault."

 "No, no please don't apologize honestly it was me, but let's move one shale we?" I hold out my hand to her.

She smiles before she takes my hand and grabs her stuff. We walk out of school and I lead her to my car. She looks at it for a minute before getting in. I drive out of the parking lot to the park. After a 10 minute drive, we get out of the car. the look on Mila's face as she looked around was amazing.

"Come on," I say holding out my hand.

"Where to?" She asks with a hesitant smile on her face slipping her hand into mine.

"It's a surprise" 

We walk until we get to the food trucks. We walk around seeing what to get at what food truck until finally, we decide. We were having so much fun and talking, but then I realized she hasn't eaten much. She just brushed it off saying she isn't that hungry. After a bit, we walked around some more, and then went to the swings. Mila looked so happy going over there. I went behind her as she sat on the swing and began to push her. About 5 minutes later I moved my hands on her back

"ouch" I heard her say.

"Are you okay what happened?" I ask panicle.

"No its nothing," She says hiding her face.

I figure its best to dro[ it until she is ready to talk to me about it. We finish the day off by getting ice cream before she has to work.

"So tell me was this a good date" I can't help but ask.

"It was a date I see," she says seriously 

"I'm messing with you it was awesome, thank you," She says probably seeing the worry on my face.

"Good."

I then drop her off at work. When I got back to the packhouse I couldn't focus on anything but her. I need her. I also know that there is something going on with her. And I need to find out what it is, I need her to tell me.
