Don't You Worry Child- Swedish House Mafia

Chasing Cars- Snow Patrol

Im sitting on my couch when I hear a buzz from my phone, it's from my boyfriend Kai! Hey, can I come over later? I'm bored… Wow, so classy Kai. We have known each other since 2nd grade, and we are both in high school now. To be precise, 9 years. He doesn't care that I'm a cyborg, and that makes me happy. He doesn't see me as broken or unfinished, he sees me as a whole human being, like everyone else, and that's good because I don't like the glares. Sure classy Kai! I respond back, smiling at my smiley face.

I put my phone down on the table and stretch out my sore muscles. I just got back from the gym with Iko, but we left after the glares turned into words. I get up and go upstairs to get dressed, even though it's at my house, I still want to look nice.

As I enter my room, I see something that puts me on edge. Everything looks normal from the first glance, but if you look closer, you can see the broken mirror taped back together, the hidden words under the sheets saying "Useless Cyborg" in big red spray-painted letters, the window lock broken, and when you enter the bathroom, red lipstick insults written on the walls. This is the third time this has happened, and I still haven't told anyone about this, I mean, who could I tell? Well, I could tell Kai, but he would take this too far. He would call the police, set up video cameras in my room, etc.

I will just clean this up later, I think to myself as I put in my headphones and blare my music. "Don't you worry child…" is playing, and I let the music calm me down as I got ready for our hangout. When I'm done getting dressed, I close my door and walk back downstairs, still blaring my music.

As the top stairs beneath me creak, my metal foot catches on a wood stair, therefor tripping me all the way down the 29 stairs and in front of my doorway. "OW" I exclaim, I hit my right wrist really hard on the wood. "Ugh, I think it's fractured…" I mumble to myself, and I swear if I could cry I would be. It hurts so much! I run my retina display and see that the bone is in fact fractured, Yay.

Should I tell Kai about this or not? Hmmmm, I don't know! If he asks I will, maybe. I check my phone to see 5 texts from Kai, and I shut down my music. Hey sneaky Cinder I'm going to call you… Um I didn't get any call from Kai…? Answer your phone I can't I never got a call! What do you mean you fractured it? Fractured what? WHAT! I must've accidently picked it up while walking up the stairs! Well, at least he doesn't know about my room… Ugh now I have to tell him about my wrist! Boys are so frustrating! Cinder? CINDER! That's it I'm coming early and finding out what's wrong. Wait, what? No he can't! I still haven't cleaned my room! I better get moving.

I bolt up the stairs, careful not to trip, and burst into my room. As I pick up my sheets and put them in a basket, I hear Kai getting out of his car. HOW IS HE SO FAST!? I shut and lock my bathroom door as he walks up the front stairs, I flip my mirror as he's on the last step, and I run out and lock my bedroom door as he rings the doorbell. I sprint downstairs and I almost trip again. I stop to glare at the stair thinking I will fix you later stair, this is not over yet…

The doorbell rings again, getting me out of my revere and I stop at the door. I check the mirror beside the door to see how I look, perfect beanie, perfect hair, perfect clothes… and a grease stain. Of course. I sigh as I open my door to see Kai leaning on my doorframe. I mirror his posture and look at him. We stay like that for a while, him staring at me, me staring back, until he finally breaks the ice.

"So, Sneaky Cinder, what exactly is…fractured?" He says while raising an eyebrow. Tell him, don't tell him, tell him don't tell him, tell him, don't tell him… "O-oh nothing j-just…" I stutter looking for an excuse and I blurt out "MY MIRROR!" Oh. My. Gosh. I cannot believe I just said that. Well, it's not exactly a lie, but it isn't the truth either.

Now he is going to ask where this mirror is, or how it broke, or maybe he won't even believe me! He raises him eyebrow again and tells me "You've always been a bad liar, Cin, but if this is true, where exactly is this, so called, mirror?" I was right! …Dang it… Um well upstairs is but I can't tell him that, there is one in the kitchen… I glance upstairs before smiling sweetly at Kai saying "Oh um well you see-"but I was cut off by Kai stomping up the stairs getting ready to open my bedroom door. "KAI NO DON'T YOU DARE GO IN THERE" I scream at him while sprinting up the stairs.

My foot catches on the stairs again and I trip, but before I hit the ground, strong arms are around me, holding me up. I look up to see Kai smirking at me, before he picks me up and swings me over his shoulder. I squeal as Kai starts up the stairs again. I can't believe he is doing this! We have to go downstairs! He can't see my room! I kick my feet, pound at his back, squirm in his grip, anything to get him to stop but he keeps on going, apparently paying no mind to my protests.

As we get to my bedroom door, I remember I locked it, thank god! I let out a breath of relief as Kai tries to open the door but sees it's locked. "Ha ha you can't get in classy kai!" I say in his ear and I'm so happy, until he says "We'll see about that sneaky Cinder." and pulls a bobby pin out of his shirt pocket. I pale as he straitens it out and is on his way to sticking the bobby pin in the door lock. He can't get in there.

I squirm and kick and pound with all my might and his grip loosens as he gasps, dropping the bobby pin on the floor. "CINDER!" he shrieks at me as I kick harder, until he has no choice but to readjust his grip on me. As he tries to grab my waist, I drop off of him and grab the bobby pin.

"Yes!" I scream as I bolt down the stairs, Kai always a step behind me. I turn the corner, barely dodging his hand, and bolt to the kitchen. But before I get to the blender, he grabs my waist and picks me up. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO KKKAAAIIIIIII!" I scream and whine as he crushes me against him with one hand and reaches for the bobby pin.

I stretch my fractured arm with the bobby pin out as far as I can, but he still grabs for the bobby pin, but grabs my wrist instead. I scream my lungs out as I close my hand around the bobby pin and he pulls my hand closer. It hurts so badly, he won't let go. "Kai let go, let go! OW stop Kai, let go of me NOW! KAITO WHATEVER YOUR LAST NAME IS LET GO!" I scream at him but he doesn't budge. He finally releases my wrist only to grab my fist instead. By that time I have gone limp in his arms. He sits down quickly and grabs the bobby pin out of my hand. He then runs out of the kitchen and up the stairs, but I just stay here lying on the filthy kitchen floor and curl up into a ball.

I hear him unlock the door and softly start softly singing a song that has always calmed me down. "If I lay here…" I hear Kais footsteps above me as he dumps out my basket… "If I just lay here… Would you lie with me and just forget the world?" And then he moves to the mirror "Forget what we're told… Before we get too old…" and finally I hear him unlocking the bathroom door "Show me a garden that's bursting into life…" I can even hear his gasp as he looks at my walls.

He moves to the top of the stairs, and starts coming down them slowly. I look up at him to see him staring at me, but I just close my eyes. Pretty soon, I hear him lay down next to me, and he strokes my cheek, but I still don't open my eyes. I can't see him looking at me with those eyes.

Slowly, he sits me up and leans me against his chest. I can feel his heartbeat against my back, and I lean my head against his shoulder, finally opening my eyes. I look into his eyes to see worry and pity, so I close my eyes again, I don't want his pity.

"I bruised my wrist, and that's why I was screaming at you, because you grabbed my bruised wrist. And I'm pretty sure you know why I locked my bedroom door and didn't want you to go into it, and I'm sorry for screaming at you for that, too." I say and chuckle. Do I scream that often? I open my eyes again as he rests his chin on the top of my head and says "It's ok, and I'm really sorry for grabbing your wrist and not letting go, I will make it up to you." I smile, because he always says that to me.

"It's ok Kai…" I say, and snuggle up to his chest. I turn my head so that my nose is against his neck, and I reposition myself against him. He slowly leans back so that we are lying on the floor and I tease him by kissing his neck. He chuckles and says "Not tonight Cinder" I smile at his words and slowly drift to sleep.

As I'm almost asleep, I hear him quietly sing "Show me a garden that's bursting into life"…
