No secrets

The case was cylindrical and not heavy, I sat on my bed with a worried look as my eyes gazed upon the item

There was something preventing me from opening the case, but I still wanted to

The knock on the door made me get up sluggishly. Who on earth would be knocking very early in the morning. I finally got to the door, opening it, I saw Williams...

"Lee, you don't look good.... did you rest well?" immediately he said that, I forced a bright face but soon realize I'll have to let him in, and the case is on my bed

Without any word, I slammed the door at his face, I ran to quickly hide the case, and also had to dress my messy hair

Finally, I opened the door only to see his shocked face....

"why?"

"Oh, I'm sorry I just wanted to dress my hair" I sounded quite convincing, as my new hairstyle also gave a good evidence

"okay... can I come in?" of course I knew this was coming

"sure, you are always welcomed in" he stepped in and sat down looking sad

"lee?" his voice was newly sad

"yes?" I was always listened to him but this time, I felt guilty because of the things I haven't told him

"Lee, I've been having strange dreams about darkness destroying everything" Williams sounded like a child coming for help and I as a mother, "do you think something bad would happen?"

"look Williams..... you need to clear your mind, try refreshing up and also have a positive mindset" what I told him made some tiny sense into his thick head

Of course Williams is someone you would say 'still waters runs deep', but that is in some cases

"Williams I have to tell you something also" keeping secrets from my best friend wasn't a good idea and it wouldn't help either

"what's it Lee?" he asked

Without further more hesitations, I told him about the strange man in my dreams, what has been happening and also the case....

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before" looking away, I waited for what he would say

"look Lee, you're my best friend and also my childhood friend, if you kept that secret from me, there's a reason why...." I knew deeply he wanted to say something more but quickly ended there to prevent any rise of questions, "so, where's the case"

"oh" I brought the case out from it's hiding place and handed it over to Williams

"have you opened it?" he questioned me with an odd look

"No!" I replied quickly

"If you say so..... let's open this case up"
