Chapter 1
"According To GreekMythologythe first humans were created with four arms, four legs and four eyes. They had two noses and two mouths and they terrified Zeus. He believed they had eminent powers and feared there would come a day when one would take his place as Ruler. To prevent such an incident from ever occurring, Zeus split each human in half and left them to wander aimlessly around the mortal world searching for their other half. Their one true soul mate. Kind of gives deeper meaning to "You Complete Me"
Emily POV
I was mesmerized completely mesmerized. I don't know if it was the way her lips curved into a radiant smile that broke hearts at first glance or the way her eyes sparkled so much that stars above us were envious. All I knew was that I loved someone who would never love me back. That wasn't even the half of it. This person was not only my best friend, but a girl. I first realized I was not the textbook definition of normal when I was twelve. While all the girls were checking out Lucas I was checking out his twin sister. Though it took me a long battle with demons I hope to never encounter again. I was finally able to accept myself. Though that doesn't mean I'm ready for the world's assessment of me.
The abrupt ringing of my alarm stirs me out of my thoughts. I look over towards the blinking numbers telling me its 5:00. Yet another sleepless night thinking about someone I can't have. Why do I torture myself? I get up stretch and head into the bathroom. After my shower I head downstairs to grab an apple before heading off to school for practice.
"Emily is everything alright" My mother asks after a few minutes of staring at me.
"Yeah, everything is fine. Why?" I asked my mother putting a smile on my face to top it off,
"Nothing you just seem quieter these days and you look like you haven't had sleep in weeks. Are you sure everything fine?" My mother persistent in her line of questioning. I swear her job at the police station has done more harm than good.
"Yes mom I'm sure I'm fine" I say getting a little annoyed at her repetition.
"Sorry I'm just making sure. How about you get out tonight and go out on a date with that nice boy, what was his name again?"
I looked my mother in the eye slightly clenching my jaw. "You mean Ben."
"Yes, now there was a nice boy. Why did you two break up again?" My mother asked
Taking slow breaths. I looked at the ground trying to calm my thoughts. First, I have to spend my days with my mother repeatedly asking me why I ended things with Ben. I don't know mom maybe because I don't like it when a boy tries to force himself on me after I tell him I'm not interested! Secondly, coach has been riding us so hard lately with our match against Brentwood tomorrow. Oh yeah have I mentioned I'm hopelessly in love with my best friend who happens to be a girl! No mom there's no reason I should be anything but happy. Exhaling slowly I finally manage to speak.
"Mom I'm not interested in Ben anymore can you please drop it." Before she could say another word I was out the door and heading to school.
Once I reached the school I immediately went to the locker room changed and went out to the pool. The cold water rushed through me and I felt as if everything that ever weighed on me was soundly ash washed away by the water. There were only four things in my life that brought on this cathartic feeling. Swimming, which makes the world seem inexistent. Music, I started learning to play guitar from my dad when I was 4 years old and not only continued, but started to learn how to play other instruments. When I was 8 my mom forced me to join the church choir where I found my love for singing. Though no one besides me parents and some members of the church know the full extent of my musical passion. Third is whenever my dad hugs me. My dad is the greatest person I ever met and I can only hope that I will be a quarter of the person he is. Last but definitely not least and maybe the most effective solace of them all is the moments I spend with Ali. The true Alison not the façade she puts on in front of the world, but the loving, caring and happy person she is behind closed doors when it's just the two of us.
The bell rings signaling the end of practice. I hop out of the pool change and head towards class. The girls and I don't share many classes this year. Only lunch and the last period which is English.
The bell rings and I head off to lunch. As a turn the corner I bump into someone. I glance up to see who it is and my mouth suddenly dries while all the air surrounding and in me disappears. Alison was dressed in short shorts even though they could barely qualify as so with a yellow halter top. My eyes ran up and down her body as my mind began to wonder into thoughts that can only be described as unholy.
"Em my eyes are up here." Alison says with a smirk on her face while a scarlet color envelopes my face completely.
"Uhh yeah I-I-I-I know I just really like that outfit." I say as I turn my face to the ground hoping she doesn't notice the blush covering my face, but the smirk on her lips tells me otherwise.
She looks around at the empty hallway, once satisfied she steps closer to me and I take a step back my back pressing up against the wall. The proximity between becomes truly clear when I feel her warm breath on face. "I'm glad that you like it." She says in a whisper as she looks down at my lips and I look at hers. If I were to move just a centimeter up we would be kissing. Just as I gather to move my head forward she backs away with a smile and skips off towards the cafeteria. What the fuck was that. Do you see why it is so hard for me to get over someone who repeatedly tempts me every second she gets? Both unconsciously and consciously.
"Someone please help me."
