I don't own the characters of Everworld, they belong to K.A. Applegate. So
don't sue me because I have no money.
Falling into you
Senna had me messed up bad. I mean twisted in a way I never
thought I could be twisted. And she knew my secret. Something that no one
else in the world knew. I was still kinda scared, thinking she'd expose me,
but she hadn't said a word. Not yet anway. I was kind of leery of girls,
ever since Senna. I mean, they didn't hang all oer me, but now, when I fall
asleep in everworld and find myself back home, strange women I'd never seen
before start coming up to me. For instance, I was work one day when this
girl from my school, leslie miles came up to the counter to talk to me. "
Hey.." she said " You're David Levin right?" " Yeah, I think so." I
replied. she giggled. I hadn't meant it to be funny. these days I didn't
know who I was. " Well, anyway, she continued " I was wondering... if you'd
like to go see a movie or something with me sometime." I thought it over
for about five seconds. Leslie miles was hot and I thought I needed some
normalcy, for at least a little while. I was about to say yes when April,
Senna's half-sister and an Everworld companion of mine came up to the
counter. " David She whispered " I need to talk to you." Leslie took one
look at april and me, now very close together since she was leaning into
the counter, and replied. "wow, I didn't know you two were like that.Sorry
I bothered you." and with that, she turned and walked away. "Damnit! " I
swore under my breath. " April...I...ah, nevermind." I finished with a
sigh. "Were you about to...I mean...opps! sorry david" she replied,
catching on. " She only wanted one thing anyway."
"And I was pretty damn eager to give it to her!" I cried, exasperated. "
Man, what I wouldn't give for just one night with a girl who wasn't a
witch, wasn't a demon, wasn't a nymph, wasn't a goddess or anything.Just a
plain old regular girl with the same hormones as me." I looked at April,
who was blushing and staring down at the counter. " So I'm like not
normal?" she replied in a mock hurt voice. " April, you know what I mean."
I said placatingly. " I mean, even before all this happened you never had
any problems with guys, you know? you're...beautiful." I replied
reluctantly. I could feel the blush rising to my cheeks.The more she stared
at me, the more I blushed. she was quiet for awhile before saying " Let's
you and me go out, just two normal teenagers." "Really?" I asked." I mean,
we could get waken up at any time and then it's back to
superhero-demon/dragon slaying." " Then I guess you better pick me up
early." She replied smugly and left, bright red hair bouncing. I could
still feel the flush on my cheeks after she left. But there was a part of
me that was kinda anxious about actually going out on a date with April.
*********
I picked her up at seven thirty, after running home to get a quick shower
and shave. I put on a clean pair of pants and a fairly decent-looking
shirt. When I pulled up her street, I was automatically surprised by the
size of the houses. man, these people had money. I spied april's house and
puled up the driveway. I walked up to her door, btu she came flying out
before I could ring the doorbell. " Come on. " She replied breathlessly.
She hopped in the car and for a minute, we just sat there. " Where do you
wanna go? " I asked her. " Don't know. what about you?" she asked. " Well,
I'm in the mood for something quiet and beautiful." I replied. She was
silent for a moment, then replied " Wow, david. your words..they.. I don't
know, sounded so poetic." I blushed again and she replied " c'mon . I know
a place. " She directed me to a popular point by a lake. I'd never been
there, but I had heard people talking about it. It was both beautiful and
quiet. I loved it. It reminded me of Robert Frost's poem "nothing gold can
stay". I told her so and she gave me that look again. " you're
so..different. from what I thought you'd be." she admitted. " Well, not
many people know me really." I replied. she turned and looked at the sun,
which was just beginning to set." I want my old life back." She whispered.
I don't think she meant fo rme to hear her, but I did. I grabbed her
suddenly, and gave her a hug. " I know." I relplied " no matter what you
guys think, I still miss it here too." She looked up at me from her
position against my chest. " You've gone through a lot too haven't you
david. We don't think about it, because you're the leader. But you've had
it rough too." I found myself runnign my fingers through her hair. "
Doesn't matter..." I whispered and broke away to sit down on the ground. "
It does matter." April replied following me. "It does..." she broke off,and
I realized she had my face in her hands. I looked at her for a minute, and
she gently placed her lips upon mine. Just the slightest kiss, then a
little more, each growing on the courage of the other. I teased her lips
with my tongue and she opened her mouth. Our tongues gently sparred with
one another, and I was surprised at the sounds we were making. My hands
were all over her body, and hers all over mine. I broke away from her lips
to gently kiss her neck. She gave a little sigh and let her hands roam all
over my chest. When we broke away, we were both flushed from the
excitement. " So.." I whispered. " So." she whispered. " What happens now?"
