Runaway thief...

Harry's arms enclosed me in, and for once I felt at home, at peace in someone else's company, and yet why did it have to be him? I closed my eyes, to keep the tears from escaping, refusing to get any on his t-shirt. He whispered "You ok". I nodded, knowing if I spoke my voice would be all cracked and the tears would be sure to come out. "Do you want to stay a little longer, before I take you home". I nodded again, and he led my back in his arms still wrapped around me, and my head buried in his chest.

I sat down on the sofa, and my head suddenly became heavy. I couldn't be ill again, not after telling Harry I was fine only half an hour ago. He sat next to me, and said quietly, in my ear "What are you gonna do about Daniel, surely he want be able to find you, at your house"
"I dont know, he's smarter than you think"
"So what are you gonna do?" I shrugged.
"Kaila" he knelt down in front of me. "what if he finds you, you cant risk him hurting you any more".
"I know, wait what, how do you know he's hurt me before?"
"Kaila I saw how he felt your....back.....and how you flinched at him touching your"
"Scars"
"Yeah, why did he do it to you, and when?"
I wasn't about to tell him that, I couldn't, could I?
"I know you dont trust me, or like me in any way, but this is important Kaila, he has obviously affected you seriously, not just physically, but mentally. You cant even cry in front of yourself never mind any one else, and it's all because you feel you have to be strong and stand up to him!"

I stood up. "How dare you assume things like that. You dont know anything about me Harry, especially about my past!". I was angry because he had seen through me, and had hit the nail on the head, but I couldn't let him know that. I began to walk out, but as I did the familiar feeling of heat, and pain brought me down to the ground, once again, knocking me out.

-----Harry's POV------

I could tell she was lying. I was right about her, even now she was proving it to me, as she shouted. She couldn't face that she had been so weak all that time ago, and was afraid of people finding it out. I dont know what it was about her past that particularly scared her of shocked her in to denial, but whatever it was, it was worse than the scars on her back.

She began to walk out, but as she did her legs seemed to give in. Again I was right, she is defiantly ill. I caught her just as she fell, then laid her down on the bed. "MUM!" I shouted from the living room. I soon heard her running, and then appeared in the doorway, looking confused. "Oh no what's happened Harry?"
"You know I told you she was ill, well heres the proof, this is the like the 4th time she's fainted, there's something wrong with her health"
"I'll call the ambulance"

I waited by the sofa for around 5 minutes, then the ambulance pulled up outside. My Mum opened the door, and they walked in. I reluctantly stepped back from her, and let them look at her. We waited for another 5 minutes before they began to explain what the matter was.

"She's showing signs of a serious illness, but were not sure yet, we're gonna have to take some blood samples, so we will be taking her back to the hospital". The words 'serious illness rang through me head, and I found that no words would come out. All I could think about was, what is the matter with her, and about all the many questions I needed answered.

They took Kaila out on a stretcher, and I followed to the door. "Does she have any family members that could come with us or who need informing". I thought for a second. Wait she's never said anything about a family, I knew she had no brothers or sisters, but where was her Mum and Dad all the time.
"I dont know, but there is one woman who could possibly be a relation".

------Kaila's POV------

My eyes wearily opened, to see Stacy staring back at me. "Oh honey". She lunged forward to give me a hug, and a kiss on my cheek. I quickly brought my arm up to my face, to wipe it off. When I realised the wires going up my arm and in to the hospital dress thing I was wearing. She gave me a sympathetic smile, seeing my realisation of where I was. "What happened?"
"Well the doctors asked Harry if you had any relations, and he wasn't sure, but then he remembered me and told them. I soon got a call from his Mum, as we happen to know each other, saying that you had fainted again and were going to be taken to the hospital. So I got in my car, drove here and found you".
"You mean I fainted again, and in front of Harry, for fucks sake!"
"Mid language...and yes you did, why is that a problem"
"It doesn't matter"
"Ok, well I'll let you rest, the Doctors will be back in a minute"

I rolled on to my side, and closed my eyes. Before I could drift of to sleep again, Stacy spoke.
"Oh yeah for some reason Harry thought we were related, I explained everything to him, how funny?"
"What, you told him WHAT?"
She looked slightly shocked at my reaction. "Oh just that you had grown up in the care home, and about you parents and stuff" he voice slowly trailing of, as she saw the frown forming on my face.
"Sorry was that wrong, why cant he know that, I thought you were friends"
"Friends! we're far from it, and I was planning on not telling him anything about my past, but now thanks to you he knows pretty much everything!".
She slowly walked out, apologising on the way out. She knew there was nothing she could do to help any-more. Trust her to tell him everything, now I was going to have to explain!
