DIFFERENT AURA

The ride back was very quiet not suffocating though. I would say serene. I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say or how to form my words. I could tell he was deep in thought as well. Every now and then I'd sneak a peek at him. Unable to keep quiet anymore, "Collin..." "Rose....". We said in unison. 

We stared at each other for what seemed like forever until I turned and saw someone in the middle of the road. " Collin!!!!" I screamed. In shock, he made a sharp turn on the road. He stepped hard on the brake and the car screeched to a halt. I was terrified. I started to panic, and worry edged on his face. " Rose, are you ok, are you hurt?" I shook my head. My words got stuck in my throat. 

Collin got out of the car, " stay right here, I'll be back" he said. I nodded. I looked back in the car and saw him walking towards the person. The person was crouched down in a bowing nature. It was weird. From what I saw, it was as if the person was bowing to Collin. I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.

He or she was in an all-black attire. Face was covered with long black hair. 

Collin stopped right in front of the person. I couldn't see what was going on, but I could tell they were having a conversation. My heart was beating so hard. It felt hard to breathe and it hurt. My chest hurt so badly. After what seemed like forever, Collin came back but I turned back and couldn't see the person anymore.

"Who was that, Collin? W..what did the person want?" I was choking on my words. My eyes started to blur. "You are not ok Rose let talk about this later I'm taking you home". With that he started the car. 

The way he rode I felt we wear flying. We got to my house within some minutes. By then I had calmed down a bit. He took me to my room. I sat on the sofa. " Stay, I will get you some water." I nodded. 

I looked at him move with ease in my room. I guess the days we spent having fun together made him used to my place. He brought the water and gave me warm chocolate as well. He placed them on the mini glass table in my room and filled one glass with the water he brought. He gave me the water to drink and stood there staring at me. I stared back as I gulped down the water and emptied it.

I placed the glass back on the table. He picked the warm chocolate and gave it to me. Which I took with both hands. The warmth seeked through my palms and felt very nice. He still stared at me with worry in his eyes. I took a sip and felt better.

I looked at him with questioning eyes waiting for answers. He seemed to read my expression but then his face changed from that of worry to something unreadable. The aura around him changed, I felt like I was sitting in front of a completely different person. 

I got scared. Yet instead of giving me an answer to my questions "I will go now, I will see you tomorrow, Rose, please take care of yourself." I was speechless. Before I could step out of my stupor, he was gone.
