Disclaimer: I totally wish I'd own The Invisible, and Nick Powell, but sadly I don't so, yeah. :)
Ok so I started writing this, because I wanted to do a fan fic of The Invisible, because it really is one of my favorite movies ever, and well I was bored at 2am in the morning with nothing to do, but frustrated because I couldn't find any The Invisible fan fics, apart from the ones from this site, which I love. So, here it is, it's basically Nick's thought trough certain points in the movie, mostly the moments he spends with Annie. For this first part I did the whole beginning, but for the rest I plan to keep it Nick-Annie. And now I'm gonna stop writing, and present to you:
In my eyes
I woke up startled, sweating and gasping for air. That dream I had was so strange. I was at my birthday party again, and after I finished a piece of cake, I took my dad's rifle and well, now I'm awake. Another day to live through, another day to survive.
"You look pale." My mom commented, hiding her own face behind the newspaper.
"How would you know?" I asked her, as I starred at my breakfast.
Two eggs sunny side up, and two arched bacon strips made to look like a smile. After some senseless chitchat, I asked her if she'd thought about the writer's course I wanted to take in London. She shot me down like she usually does. I swear the woman has no justice for me; she only has the plan of my life and not even the slightest interest in changing it.
"What is that? Irony?" She asked, and I changed the bacon strips to resemble a sad face. After this talk with her, it was how I felt after this lovely breakfast, and if this was my morning, I really didn't expect much of my day.
I sold another one of my essays, and continued adding examples to my theory that most people in my school were completely ignorant. Well it was more of a proven fact by now, but I couldn't really complain, business was business. Suzie talked to me, and again asked me if I was going to Eva's party the next day, and again I had to tell her I wasn't going to. Parties are not my thing, and after last night's dream parties were on the top of my list of things to avoid. A/N: I just realized the begging could be a foreshadowing of the events to come, this movie is so amazing. lol xD And besides, its not like I was going to be here anyways.
In English class, I read my poem, and as I did so, I found perfect lines I was looking for. I wrote them down quickly so I wouldn't forget.At least I got something out of that boring class, where people think so objectively it makes me want to inject them with some brain cells.
When we got to lunch period I saw Pete had a new band-aid on his finger. Which frankly pissed me off, because he was stupid enough to buy things from that girl, if she could be considered a girl.
"You have to stand up for yourself, you can't let people push you around like that." I told him trying to help him. Peter was so incredibly vulnerable, and he really had to toughen up.
"It's easy for you to say, because when you talk people listen." He said, and again I got a bit pissed.
"When I talk, you listen, and that's about it." I corrected, him, because it was true, nobody ever truly listened to me, but Peter, and honestly his ears opened from time to time. He turned and looked at her, all dark, and covered up as it was thirty degrees outside, when really the weather was heating up. But I guess that's what being tough and intimidating is all about, showing others you stand wearing Eskimo clothing in May.
"I can't do it, I can't…" Peter started saying, so I got up and went over there to little miss sunshine myself.
"Ok, how much does my friend owe you?" I asked, and started throwing money at her, she had avoided eye contact with me until then, and when she finally looked at me, I saw it, I saw her, her broken self.
"Disappear asshole." She said once I had finished. She cursed, and that is lovely in a lady, so I really just had and gave it to her straight.
"You are so broken." I whispered into her ear, and I could see the reaction in her eyes, only for a fraction of a second though. She had been told the truth, frankly I thought she'd taken it pretty well, until she jumped over me and attacked like a wild beast, after I had walked away. Real lady-like of her part, if you ask me.
When they dragged us to the Principal's office, I started looking at her. By doing so, I discovered she could have at least a bit of enjoyment in her life. She had an Elmo band-aid on her finger. Humans are as strong as their weak point, and for Annie Newton her weak point was her incredibly bruised self. How had she gotten so broken was beyond me, but I couldn't help myself imagining her if she wasn't, if she was a proper lady, well not a lady, but at least a girl.
"What are you looking at?" She asked, and for a moment I froze, since I had been scanning her every inch.
"Oh, uh nothing, I'm just, ah, more of a Grover guy, that's all." I replied, looking at her intently. Half of me hoped she would have at least let out one of those, 'lame joke' sighs, or something. Yet, I knew she was going to react in a heartless way; she covered it up with the sleeve. I can't say, I wasn't disappointed, because I was a bit. I wanted to see her laugh, or something along that line.
"You're so polite. The whole golden boy thing, right? Except it's not really you, I mean I know you sell essays, you're no better than me." I was shocked, sincerely shocked, and impressed. Guess, she had a bit of intellect.
"You're right, I'm a total hypocrite." I replied, as she looked at me. Annie Newton wasn't what I thought her to be. I kept on looking at her, until the principal walked in.
"Anybody care to explain?" He asked standing behind his desk.
She, uh, finds me irresistible." I said, half hoping again to get a smile from her, but she just looked at me in the most, 'quit-it-with-the-lame-jokes' kind of way. Then the principal sent her away, and left me there to warm me not to waste my time with Annie Newton, for she was a lost soul, who had no future, which bothered me a little. Yes, he was a broken lost soul, but she could have a future, she was smarter than she let herself seem to be.
I totally was like OMG! When I realized the beginning of the movie was a foreshadowing, maybe everyone else noticed already, and I was the last one to realize but yeah, I'm a bit slow sometimes. Please Review, if you wish for me to continue, and sorry for errors and such things. Oh and by the way, I do plan to change the end, because as much I love it, I want a happy ending! Thank you, and bye for now!
