Ascension of a Lonely Shadow
Love. some say it's the greatest thing in the world, the best experience anyone could ever feel, the one thing people strive for more then anything. I can say for myself that I want it more than anything. I just wish that I got it from the people I love, I wanted nothing more then for them to love me.
I guess you want to know more about me right? Then again I don't really know if you even care. With the way the world treats me I wouldn't really think otherwise. Anyway if you are one of the few who care… the people in the world who would care for someone so lowly as I; then thank you. It's people like you that keep hope in my life.
To these amazing people, my name is Chris Parry Halliwell. I am sixteen years old and the youngest in my immediate family. I live in San Francisco California, in a Victorian style manor owned for generations by my family the Halliwell's.
My family consists of my mother Piper Halliwell and father Leo Wyatt along with my older brother Wyatt Halliwell. Wyatt was only two years older then me but we looked so very different. Where he was tall and blond I was short and a brunet, he was built and strong and I was slim and week. He had power beyond imagining and I had an inferiority complex.
I guess I should go into deeper detail; you see my brother was a powerful Witch combined with blood from our angelic like White-lighter of a father. While I was born from the same blood and only two years apart I had absolutely no power in me whatsoever… unless going unnoticed by everyone is a power.
As I said I have been feeling left behind by my family. My aunts who used to live with us and spend most of their time with me left across the glob to live their own lives and grow their own family. Why is this important you ask? Because apparently they were the only ones ever to talk to me and once gone I was alone. now I want you to know that I did try to spend more time with my parents and brother, sadly the interactions went a little like this…
"Hey mom! Do you need help cooking? I've been needing practice with Home EC anyway." Piper groaned and shook her head.
"Sorry peanut, I got to get this done quick! Ray needs me at P3 in thirty minutes and I cook faster alone." I would sigh and look for my father who was training Wyatt with magic in the attic.
"Hey Kit! Want to watch? I just figured out how to shoot fire from my pinky! It's so awesome!" I would have agreed happily, although I did not have any powers of my own it was still awe inspiring to see my older brother do amazing things. Yet…
"Sorry Chris but this is to dangerous, now why don't you go spend some time with your mother while we work." Both Wyatt and I were upset but no one more then myself. I would have said something like, 'Oh you mean your wife who just blew me off for her precious nightclub slash restaurant? The same restaurant that has over fifty workers that could handle anything with ease!?
"OK… see you later Wy." I sulked away but before I could leave the attic Wyatt grabbed my hand.
"Hey! Umm… we can still hang out! How about we spend tomorrow together? Summer vacation starts soon anyway we can go to the beach… in Hawaii!, just the two of us." I brightened up at that. School ended in two days and it would have been a great if I could spend time with the older brother I admired more then anything. Sure I was jealous of his power but I still loved every moment we would spend together. I was going to agree yet again my 'Dear' father just had to step in.
"Actually Wyatt your mother and I enrolled you in a summer program at the magic school, to help you with your magic lessons." Wyatt paled and pouted.
"Come on! I've been working my butt off all year I need a brake dad!" Leo glared at the blond boy and sighed.
"You know very well why you need the extra practice! You need to learn to control your powers before they end up controlling you. Magic school will help with that." Wyatt sighed and turned to me clearly regretful.
"Sorry Kit..." I didn't blame him, Wyatt was a good boy and always did as he was told no mater how he wanted to do otherwise. His Integrity is one of the things I love about my brother, even if it meant we could never spend any time with me…
as you seen I have lost most of my family due to the neglect from my parents and the loss of my brother to his duty's. Honestly I didn't have many friends, if any. I wasn't very social and out going as my brother who could make friends with his winning smile alone.
I decided to do the only thing I could do at that moment, I called my aunts. I picked up my cell phone and made a joint conference call. The phone rang for a moment as I laid in my bed just waiting, I knew I could count on my aunts to lift my spirits.
"Hello? Chris that you?" said my aunt Phoebe, she was always there to help me in my emotional problems, being an Empathy genius certainly made it better to vent my feelings to her. Plus her willingness to give me free advice where others pay hundreds for made me feel special to her.
"Hi aunty! How's the my little cousin doing?" A loud crash echoed from the phone and Phoebe shouted in anger.
"Sorry about that peanut… Prue is doing great." She said gritting her teeth. "She just had a little temper tantrum with her new powers.. any-who, how was your day sweety?"
"… Great." I couldn't fool her one bit.
"Chris… you know better then that." I chuckled, she could read me like a book.
"It's just… it happened again. Everyone was to busy for me again..." anouther voice sounded from the phone.
"For the love of! I'm at the end of my rope with that girl!" I smiled knowing the voice.
"Hi aunty Paige! Hows the little guy?" Paige was just as great as Phoebe but a little more down to earth. She made me strong in body, when I couldn't be in power… sadly I was unable to make much progress, but she never made me feel inferior to Wyatt like my mother and father did with quips like 'if only you were more like Wyatt'.
"He's good peanut he's just taking a little nap right now. Thank god! He's been driving me nuts… anyway your mom and dad should know better! I'm getting sick of them ignoring you." she said exasperated. I've been telling them how much I have been alone ever since they left and it made them angry.
"She's right, do you want us to talk to them Chris?" I didn't know what to say, just telling them wouldn't really change anything… but.
"Sure… yes OK. Just… let me know how it goes alright?" we talked for a while and I got changed for bed… I've been sleeping a lot more lately, I guess it's just another sign of me being depressed but the dreams I've been having really torment me.
I pulled the covers over my head and sighed. I felt a sense of deja-vu when I looked out the window seeing the moon hanging in the sky despite it not being night. It seemed bigger then it was before, just looking at it made me feel… sad. I couldn't really explain it, I just always felt so heart broken when ever I looked at the moon… like.. there was something about it that I was forgeting.
"Maybe I do have depression..."
'Knock knock knock.' I turned from my bed to see Wyatt opening my door. He smiled at me, just seeing him smile lifted my spirits.
"Kit? You OK?" I was starting to hate hearing him say that… every day it was the same thing, he would come into my room and say that same line whenever mom and dad would stop us from spending time together… honestly it wasn't his fault, he was just being a good brother… I didn't blame him.. I could never blame him with those big pouty puppy dog eyes of his.
"Yeah I'm OK… it's just." Wyatt smiled and sat at the edge of the bed patting my head.
"What is it? You've been moping in this bed for months Kit… I'm worried about you." I narrowed my eyes, he can be so naive… how could he not know why I've been like this!? "Is it because of the aunts leaving?"
"Part of it is." He tilted his head and frowned.
"And… the other part?" he sounded scared which confused me, he looked angry and stood up looking me in the eye. "Has someone been hurting you!?" I chuckled and swatted his hand.
"No… well.. not exactly." the angry look didn't with that explanation.
"Its that one punk with the noise piercings isn't? I'll kill him!" he stood up about to do just that when I held him back.
"No Wyatt, I actually like that guy, he kind of reminds me of aunt Paige… no.. the ones bothering me are..." he gave me a questioning look when I wouldn't answer and relented just sitting by my side. I didn't want him to hate mom and dad the way I've been slowly starting to… 'no.. I wont say hate yet… not yet… I uhh… I dislike them.. yeah.. I'll go with that.'
"… you don't have to tell me who's making you sad Kit… just tell me… tell me what I can do to help you… please?" the hurt look in his eyes made my heart sink! Me being sad was one thing I could handle, but seeing him being sad was something I couldn't handle. I shocked him by pulling him into a squeezing hug.
"Just stay with me for a while… it's the best thing you can do." he chuckled and returned the hug even stronger then mine. "But you 'ugh' can ease up on the hug.'
"Oh! My bad Kit." he pulled away rubbing his hair embarrassed. He looked so… so.. "Kit? Something wrong? Oh my god did I hurt you!?"
"No!.. uhh.. no it's just… I.." Concerned he tilted my chin so I would look at him.
"What is it? Your all red." he placed a hand to my four-head and gasped. "Your burning up Kit! Are you sick?"
"No I… I'm just… I cant say!" I pulled the covers over my head and hoped that he would go away.
"Kit tell me what's wrong; your scaring me!" I could feel my blushing growing, oh why does he have to be so worrisome!?
"It's nothing! I'm… you were right I'm sick and need a nap… um.." he sighed and I could feel him standing up. I sighed in relief when I heard the door to the room close only to feel him jumping in my bed and pulling me into a hug.
"Then I'll just have to watch you until your better!" I felt like I just dug my own grave… darn him for being an amazing brother! "You don't mind if we snuggle like we used to… do you?"
'YES I MIND YOU CLUESSESS JURK!' back when we shard a room we would sneak into eachother's beds and sleep like we were doing now.
"No... not at all." he buried his chin in my hair and pulled me closer to him. It felt nice being close to him again… but.. "D… Don t you have magic lessons still?"
"Nope! I convinced dad to let me off since they enrolled me without even asking. I'll be free all. Day. Long. So you just rest little Kit and I'll watch over you." I smiled brightly… I may be neglected by my parents but at lest I have Wyatt, and honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. I loved my big brother… I… I… Zzzzz
"Night Kit…"

Deep within a grassy valley rested an amazing sight, a vast lake with waters shining bright reflecting the starry night sky ever so perfectly. Within the middle lake stood a single stone of silver that shinned within the moonlight, sending a pale light throughout the lake. At the water's edge stood a single figure, draped in a robe of black and blue with the insignia of the crescent moon placed on the chest. The figure keeled tracing his hand across the waters sending a ripple within the lake.
'Come forth, your prince commands you.' The voice echoing from the figure was as sweet as honey, as if a lullaby sung from a loved one. The head of a woman rose from the waters, her hair was as red as a rose and her eyes as blue as water.
"You called your Majesty?" the woman bowed with grace as he stood upon the water's surface.
'I have need of the stone. Bring it to me.' the woman was shocked at the man.
"The stone of the moon!? But why with out it in the lake you will be powerless!" the voice of the man changed from melodious to booming and livid.
'The stone is mine to use as I seen fit! Now bring it to me at once!' the woman bowed in fear and lift her hand, the waters in the lake did as she willed them and the stone rose into the air, out of the water it's full size was now seen, the size of a full gown man the stone shined like the most precious of stones. The hooded man raised his hand and a shining blue glyph surrounded the stone with light until it vanished from sight. 'Thank thee. I may have more use for you at a later time…' the hooded man bowed and turned leaving the lake.
"Your Majesty please!" the figure stopped in his tracks and turned to the woman. "tell me… what do you intend to do with the stone?"
'I am fashioning a weapon… a sword for my dear brother as a gift. The stone will be perfect for the blade.' the woman appeared shocked.
"You would give the power of the moon itself, the one thing that made you unique form your brother, what made you the prince of the night, to the brother who you know plans to destroy the very darkness that you reign." a wave of dark blue energy emitted from the man along with an echo of pure anger.
'SILENCE!' the woman retreated back into the waters depths fearful of the wrath of the hooded man. He quickly and confidently left the lake not wishing to be anywhere near the woman. In a voice full of sorrow yet as if a requiem sung by a cherub. 'I love my brother… and if this will prove it then so let it be.'

I woke up in a cold sweat, walking like a zombie out of bed and to my bedroom window. I slammed my hand on to the window and stared out at the dark sky and up at the shining moon. A yelp echoed in the room but I couldn't move my body, I could only look up at the moon.
"Kit what are you doing!? You nearly gave me a heart attack!" I started to breath deeply and I grabbed at my hair and pulled. I began to screech and then flat out scream in pain I pulled at my skin clawing as a burning pain filled me. Wyatt grabbed by my hands and moved me to look at him. "Chris stop it!" when I saw his face I suddenly felt calm, I relaxed and slipped to the ground as he keeled in front of me. "Chris… what happened?"
"… who am I?" Wyatt gave me a look of fright.
"What do you mean? Your my brother." I tilted my head confused.
"Your... brother?" I don't know what came over me, I stood up and rushed out the room in tears.
"CHRIS!" I ran out bumping into Leo.
"What's going on?" I looked at him and shook my head running past him. "Chris!?" He and Wyatt ran after me but I just kept running until I reached the door of the manor. I just kept running and running, I didn't even know why, I just felt so hurt and angry that he called me his brother… but why? I loved my brother! This wasn't making sense to me! Before I could get to far I was tackled to the ground in the middle of the street.
"Chris look at me!" I squirmed in his arms and tried to break free. "What's wrong with you!?"
"Nothing get off!" Wyatt was to strong I couldn't move.
"No! Talk to me for once dam it!" I screamed in anger under him kicking and squirming wanting nothing more them to get as much distance from him as possible.
"I CAN'T!… I can't..." I stopped moving and cried just looking up at the moon. Wyatt grabbed my chin and made me look at him, my heart stopped. He was crying!
"Why not! Chris why do you have to shut everyone out like this!? First at school and now with me?! What is it that you cant tell me?" I shook my head and closed my eyes crying in pain. "Please just tell me!"
"You'll... hate me..." Wyatt shook me making me open my eyes.
"There is nothing you can do or say to ever make me hate you. I love you Kit, don't you know that?" I stopped crying and closed my eyes.
"That's the problem… I love you to much." Wyatt looked at me confused and then gasped as I shot up and pressed my lips against his. I broke the kiss and pulled away waiting for him to berate me for doing something so sick and disgusting, for him to tell me he hates me and is sickened by me… but… he said nothing.
"Chris! There you are.." Leo saw us on the ground and helped us to our feet. He looked at me roared in anger "Chris what were you thinking, what the hell is wrong with you!?"
"Dad.." Wyatt whispered while trying to avoid looking at me, Leo didn't seem to hear him.
"Do you know what could have happened if Wyatt didn't catch you? You could have been hit by a car!" Wyatt called to Leo again only for him to be ignored. "Do you want to die? Is that it!?"
"ENOUGH!" Wyatt stood in front of me and pushed Leo away. "he's gets it! Lets just go home people are looking!" he garbed my arm and pulled me away from our fuming father. I followed along as he pulled me home. Once we were back home he slamed the door and left me standing there.
"… Wyatt?" he stopped but didn't turn to look at me. "… please… please just tell me you hate me."
"Stop it." my breath hitched and fell to me knees.
"Just say it! Don't make me wait just tell me the truth! Tell me you think I'm a pathetic disgusting fagot!" he walked up to me silent just staring with a blank expression. "Say it! Say I disgust you and you want me to never speak to you again! Tell me you hate me, tell me you want me to die!"
'SMACK!' I stood there feeling a sharp pain across my face… he did it, he actually hit me. I turned my head from the force of it and turned it back to see his tear stained face. He pointed a finger at me and tried to find the words.
"… Chris.. Just.. stop it. I don't hate you. Don't ever think I could hate you." I didn't move or breath I could only wait for him to finish talking. "I.. I need some time to think about… about this.. just give me some space."
I lowered my hand and waited for him to leave. He gave me a short forced hug and left me there alone. I walked to my room in a daze, I couldn't believe what I reviled to my brother… the deep inner feelings that I kept buried deep inside. Feelings I hoped never to allow Wyatt to see. I walked into my room and just fell onto my bed hurting and confused. I buried my face into my pillow and cried myself asleep.

Deep within a dark room stood a man draped in a black hooded robe. He stood over a shining silver sword waving his hands as a pale light entered the blade making it shine even brighter then the moon. The man dropped his hood showing his flowing dark blue hair and silver eyes that shined like star light.
'Finally, it's perfect!' his voice was like a flowing dream as he admired the silver blade. 'Brother will see now… he will see just how much I love him… now to name it.. this is a sword meant for a ruler… then this sword will be named ruler of swords, Excalibur.'
the man lift the blade in his hands and placed it in a jeweled encrusted scabbard. When the man tried to take a step he fell to his knees to weak to move. He panted and tried to regain his composure as a warrior dressed in dark armor rushed into the room and helped him to his feet.
"Mi-lord! Are you alright!?" the robed man nodded and took the hand of the dark knight who's striking golden eyes shined with worry.
'Yes Drake… I.. I'm am just weary… please take me to my brother.' the loyal knight did as the robed man asked and assisted him in walking until the man was strong enough to walk on his own. 'Thank thee Drake, I think I will fare well on my own.'
"As you wish Mi-lord, should you feel feint again simply call and I shall come running." the robed man smiled at the knight and handed him a small glowing stone in the shape of the moon. "Mi'lord?"
'You have been a great friend to me Drake' the knight bit his lip at the word friend but it went unoticed by the robed man, 'Should anything happen to me I want you to keep this safe.' the knight smiled brightly and keeled before the robed man in respect.
"I am honored Lord Artemis, I shall guard it with my life!…. But may I ask what it is?" the robed man smiled and tapped the stone.
'It is a fail-safe, I am intrusting you as the captain of the knights of darkness to use it to protect your kin and my followers…' the knight was frightened at the words of his lord.
"… Then the roomers are true. Lord Solaris is planing to.."
'Do not make assumptions!.. no, should my gift prove my loyalty then all will be well… just.. keep the stone safe and do what you must to protect our people.' the two walked in silence as they approached a large throne room, upon the throne was a man with hair that resembled the raising sun and garb befitting a king with many depictions of the sun. the royal smiled down at the man in the robe but glared at the knight in disgust.
'Brother,' the voice of the royal felt harsh and abrasive yet warm at the same time. The robed man approached the throne and bowed gracefully presenting the blade. 'What is this?'
'A gift, the sword of all swords Excalibur, this blade holds a great fragment of my power to suppress evil and darkness. Consider it a gift to apologize for… for what I've done to betray your trust.' The Royal man stood and took the scabbard for the robed man and drew the sword and basked in the light it shown.
'It is beautiful brother, I except this gift… but I do not except your apology.' to the shock of everyone in the room the royal thrust the sword into the robe man's chest and whispered to the robe man. 'forgive me my brother.'

I jumped out of bed sweating up a storm I felt my chest and remembered what I dreamed. My breath hitched and I rocked back and forth realign from what I'd seen. It was as if I was walking in the skin of that robed man. I felt his pain, his sorrow, and hope so clearly that it felt like I was actually there.
This same dream would come to me every time I'd sleep and would always end where the robed man got stabbed by the man dressed like a king. At first I though nothing of it and just let it go but now the dreams started to effect my mind when I was awake… I wanted so much to tell my aunts about the dreams but I knew deep down inside that the dream was just that. A weird lucid dream that I hoped would fade with time… wishful thinking I suppose.
I decided to suppress it and will myself to let it go and just look for something to take my mind off it. I walked out my room and bumped into Wyatt. Because of his shear weight I fell on my butt while he stood unmoving.
"Oh… Sorry Kit." he hesitated to help me up contemplating what to do. Heart broken I just stood up and walked away not talking or even acknowledging his existence. "Chris… don't be like that."
"You said you needed your space." the confidence in my voice was definitely shattered as I walked away. Hope raised in me when Wyatt garbed my shoulder yet visions of the dream flashed in my memory and I pulled away shrugging off his hand and walked to the front door of the manor. "I'm going for a walk… I'll be back for dinner."
"Chris please!" I didn't wait for him to speak I just wanted to get some distance between us. Just seeing him made me want to crawl in a hole and die. I walked for a while until I made it to my favorite place, the park. I would walk here or just lay on the grass staring up at the sky trying to find the moon. I decided to do just that and laid down in a nice soft patch of grass and looked for the moon… it took me a moment but I found it hanging clearly in the sky. While I was gazing a group of friends walked by me talking casually.
"Have you heard the news?" said a girl with long curly hair. "they say the a huge number of stars have been going supernova. I used my telescope and saw that even some of the constellations are even gone."
"Trippe… I heard the moon is actually getting closer to the earth…" a boy said looking up. "now that I see it I do think it's getting bigger."
"Hahah! How long do you think we got until it crashes down?" joked a girl. A boy with a icecreem cone in his hands looked up and shrugged.
"I doubt that will happen, it's probably nothing." the group left my hearing range and I glared at the moon in thought.
"… why do I feel so sad?" I sighed and closed my eyes.
"i guess you just feel sorry for the moon." I jumped in shock and looked to see a man with the most amazing golden eyes laying next to me. He wore a tight black sleeveless shirt with a small white crescent moon over his heart and a pear of blue jeans that were torn at the legs. He looked to be eighteen and was as tall and strong as Wyatt. He saw my frightened face and apologized. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you!"
"Oh uhh.. it's OK… h.. have we met?" looking into his eyes tugged something in my heart.
"I… I'm not sure. I just saw you and I uh… thought you were a bit lonely." he blushed and I felt my heart skip a beet. He was so sweet and kind, that I smiled.
"Honestly I was… I just had a fight with my brother and I wanted to give him some space." I felt my throat clench when I recalled how I left the manor.
"Oh family issues huh, I've been there… I get into fights with my dad a lot. I usually come here when ever that happens… you know just to get my mind off it. You know what I mean?" I smiled happily I was starting to feeling a sense of familiarity with this guy.
"Yeah… I do… I'm Chris, Chris Halliwell." I held out my hand and he gladly shook it.
"Daemon Lunarion, friends call me Dae." His hand shake was strong and he lingered making me blush. When he noticed me blushing he pulled away and chuckled rubbing his neck embarrassed. "Sorry… umm. You want to hang out?"
"Sure!" he smiled and helped me to my feet. We walked for a while just talking about our lives and our interests. He told me about his father and how they lived on there own after his mother's death. Ever since her passing their relationship has been crashing badly. His father would drink excessively and what made the matter worse was he came home drunk. After he told me about his family problems I told him mine feeling silly for my the insignificance of mine. I left out my feelings for Wyatt of course not sure how he would react.
"Man that sucks! I would hate that! Sure my dad is an abusive fuck but at least he talks to me…" I stared shocked and he gasped. "Oh I'm sorry! I'm such an ass! I didn't mean to offend you I swear!"
"No you didn't offend me it's just feels nice to know my problems are just as bad." He sighed in relief and I giggled. "It's OK, your a great guy. Thanks for talking to me… but I should get home it's getting late."
"Oh!… um... I know this might be weird but… can I see you again?" when he asks that I felt my heart soar! I quickly gave him my phone number on a piece of paper.
"Sure! Call me anytime, I'm free all summer." the moment the paper touched his hand he beamed with joy.
"Awesome!" Deamon socked us both when he gave a me a quick kiss. When he pulled away he blushed and tried to explain. "I'm sorry! I.. I it's just that I didn't mean to I just." to my surprise I kissed him back. I broke the kiss and waved goodbye.
"I'll see you tomorrow." I ran off feeling on top of the world! Just a few hours ago I was deep into depression and this one guy pulled me out of it in a matter of hours. I walked into the manor smiling like an idiot when I found mom in the kitchen. She was talking on the phone so I just opened the refrigerator looking for something to snack on.
"Hey peanut…" she hung up the phone and looked a little rattled. "do you want to talk?" I was shocked but still giddy from my time with Deamon.
"Sure! How was work?" She smiled and sighed in relief as if she thought I was going to blow her off.
"Great... Peanut, I know you've been feeling left out lately, it's just… your father and I have been… we have been so busy lately. How about we spend tomorrow together?" my smile faded and I felt my throat dry up.
"Actually I promised a new friend I'll meet him tomorrow… can we do something next Monday?" she beamed at me happily.
"A friend? Oh peanut I'm so happy for you! What's his name?" I sat down next to her and was going to tell her his name but… her phone rang. "Yes? How many!? Then tell them to send them back!" her conversation ran on for five minutes that I gave up.
"Your busy.. I'll tell you about him next time." I was so upset that I ran out to my room. I don't even think she noticed me leaving. I slammed the door shut and sat on my bed fuming in anger. "i should have known it was to good to be true."
"Chris!?" Wyatt opened my door and walked in looking very nervous. "You… are you OK?"
"No Wyatt, I'm not OK! I'm fucking pissed off!" I grabbed a book from my night stand and tossed it at the wall, Wyatt flinched back afraid. "I'm sick of them doing this! I'm sick of being ignored by the people I want to love me! I'm sick of being hurt by my own family. I'm fucking sick of it!"
"… So it's my fault? It's my fault that you've been acting so strange?" he didn't sound mad or angry like I thought he would… he was just sad.
"NO! You idiot! Mom and dad!" His eyes widened when I finally told him. "Are you so blind that you cant see how they treat me!? I'm like a shadow to them! They don't even look at me or acknowledge my existence, I'm nothing to them dam it!"
"Chris.. I.. I didn't know." I looked at him and laughed hollowly.
"You didn't know? Did you really not notice? Are you really so full of yourself that you don't see how they treat you and the way they treat me!?… for so long I've been alone in this house, the only ones I could turn to were the aunts and… and you. But you.. you never even noticed it, you who gets basked in the praise by every single person you meet. The one who cant enter a room without someone calling out your name in acknowledgment!… and yet…" My breath caught in my throat and tears fell from my eyes. "And yet I don't hate you… I should be so jealous and spiteful but I'm not! I praise you like everyone else! I admire you beyond anyone else! And I actually loved you because you were more to me then some cute face, you were more to me then the Twice Blessed, more to me then a brother…"
"Chris." Wyatt was crying now; tears were streaming down his face but I couldn't stop I had to let it out I had to stop burring my feelings.
"Why do I have to care about you!? Why do I have to love someone who is obviously better then me? Why do…. Why… why… why…" I couldn't take the strain anymore… I fell to the ground on my knees tired and emotionally drained. "Why do I have to be like this?… why do I have to go through so much pain?" Wyatt keeled in-front of me and hugged me tightly.
"Chris… I'm… I'm sorry… I didn't know you were going through so much… what mom and dad are doing is wrong but… whats worst was that I didn't see it! I'm an idiot!" I held him close and wished I didn't say a word.. I wished I just shut up and let it be. I didn't want him sad I didn't want him to worry.
"Just leave me alone… forget I ever said anything and just go!… leave me alone.. and.. and I'll.. I'll make it right… I'll.. I'll make the pain stop myself… I wont be bothering anyone ever again." Wyatt pulled away and shouted at me in fear.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" He shook me and screamed knowing very well what I was planing to do. "If you even try it I'll… I'll.. I don't know what I'll do but when I think of it I'll tell you!… I love you Kit.. maybe not the way you love me but.. it's still love dam it!"
"… I understand… I wont do anything rash.. and.. I'm sorry for… last night." Wyatt sighed and patted my head content that I was not going to do something stupid.
"Good… I promise things are going to change." he pulled me into another hug and I knew he was right… but something inside kept telling me, something was wrong… I pushed the thought aside when I heard my phone ring.
"Who's?" I pulled away to see who was calling me and was shocked to see the name Deamon on my cell. "Deamon..."
"Demoon? Who's that?" I shook my head feeling stupid, I couldn't believe I forgot all about him.
"It's Deamon, he's I friend I made today," I answered the phone in a daze. "Hello?"
'Chris! Hi! Uhh.. I know it's sudden but uhh… would you like to go on a…. date tomorrow?' I was speechless…
"Sure!" OK maybe not completely speechless..
'AWESOME!… uh I mean cool, send me your address and I'll pick you up at umm... how about around twelve?'
"Sounds good to me." We said our goodbyes and I hung up my phone not noticing the extremely happy face of my brother. "… why are you looking at me like that?"
"You have a friend!? an actually living breathing friend!?" I glared at him but he rose his hands apologetic. "I just mean that's great! What's he like, Is he nice to you?"
"He's… well.. I'm..." he sighed and shook my shoulder.
"Out with it!" I took a breath and decided relent and tell him the truth.
"We're going out… on a date... tomorrow." his smile faded and turned in to a frown.
"OK… when did you say you met him?" I groaned and stood up burring my head into my pillow. I knew to well what was coming next.
"Today..." Wyatt shot up and shouted in fear.
"I don't think you should go!" I didn't even dignify that with a response. "Don't ignore me! What if he's a creep!?"
"He's not like that, he was very nice to me. I don't know why but, I trust him… it feel's like we met before, I just don't know from where." Wyatt grumbled something but I wasn't having any of that. "What is it?"
"Nothing!..." he sighed and patted my back. "Just… watch yourself OK? I don't want anything to happen to you." I raised my head and smiled at Wyatt happy that he wished me well in his little way.
"I will Wyatt, unlike you I'm not naive, I know when someone is playing me." Wyatt tossed a pillow at me.
"Yeah yeah! Just call me if anything happens and I'll orb right there K?" I relented.
"OK, I promise… your not to freaked out that I'm gay… are you?" when I asked Wyatt blushed and shook his head.
"No… well not really. I never met anyone whose gay so.. I really don't know how to feel… but your my brother and like I said I love you no mater what… but… have.. umm." he stuttered and I kick his shin lightly to get him to say what he wanted to say. "Have you ever… you know?"
"No." He exhaled in relief as if we was dreading the answer I smirked knowing this and said quickly. "only twice with the whole football team."
"WHAT!?" I laughed like a hyena at has shocked blushing face.
"I'm joking dummy!" he gasped looking feint.
"OH THANK GOD!" I kicked him feeling slightly embarrassed, Wyatt had girl friend after girl friend in high school, it was obvious that he had done things… ever since I saw the first girl I was heart broken to see someone touching and kissing the one I loved. I hated every moment I ever spent near them… thankfully for my sanity he never kept a steady relationship. For some resign or another he would leave them and I would feel at ease… however, I did wish he would find someone to love… even… even if it was not with me.
"No I'm not as 'experienced' as you are with those things. But I'm not to worried about that; I read how to… do it, online and know where to buy condoms and lube if it comes to that... I'll be safe." I almost missed it but there was a curious and yet fearful look in his eyes.
"Well umm… doing it isn't that big of a deal just try and wait a few weeks 'or months' before you do something you might regret K Kit?" his voice was shaken and rushed like he was nervous about me doing anything like that with anyone. I felt insulted.
"Oh and like you waited to do it with Vanessa! You only dated for two days when you broke up after you were done with her!" I was shocked at the abrasive anger that came out of my mouth and so was he.
"I… that's difrent! She was… I was…" he stuttered and I had enough of him for one day.
"I need to get some sleep, it's late and I have a date tomorrow. Out!" with a huff he was gone. I was so upset with him! What made it right for him to be slutty and not for me! I gave up the anger and just thanked that our relationship was somewhat back to normal. I crawled into bed and looked out the window, the moon was shining nicely in a crescent shape. Thinking of the crescent moon made me think of Deamon and I smiled and touched my lips still feeling echos of his on mine… when I kissed him it was different from when I kissed Wyatt, there was something different about it… was it because I had fallen in love with him? Or was it because I didn't love him as much as I loved Wyatt? I guess after my date I'll know for sure… at least now I felt less depressed… to think the love I found wasn't from my parents… but at least I found love in anyway regardless…. Tomorrow will be a good day… yes… it… will… Zzzzzz
