Cute little story I wrote ages ago that I just love. I want someone to love me like Alex loves Hayley!
People don't realise that what me and Alex have is stronger than normal love. My parents think it's just a phase, soon i'll break up with him and I'll go find someone else who is in school and heading towards university, with lots of money. My friends think it's so romantic the way he looks at me and worships the ground I walk on. But they're also worried about his bad boy image, and are constantly warning me about what will happen when he cheats on me, or dumps me for another girl. But i know that won't happen. Because it physically hurts both of us the long hours when I'm at school and we're apart. We are like two parts of a whole, and I'm the only one who knows his secret, the secret he and his older brother share.
It was an accident, the way I found out. But I was with him and his older brother at the house when it first happened, since he was my best friend. He still is actually, just way more. And I looked after them the first week when they were constantly freaking out. An easy call to my parents telling them we were going on a camping trip sorted it all. Then the end of the summer holidays came and we had to make the decision to keep them out of school. It was just too dangerous. And they figured out what they were created for. Im only fifteen, like him, and his brother is nineteen. They live alone since their parents are both dead and their grandfather died a couple of years ago, leaving them a hand written book in a language they only know a few words of. He told them it contained all of the answers to their questions, and to go back to their home once they read it. I bring him school work to do, and make sure they get their benefit money. I keep their kitchen full and do all their shopping for them. Its a year since it all happened, and we have a routine all sorted. They even have part time jobs now.
The bombshell drops at a seemingly normal Sunday dinner. They had mentioned it a few months ago when the invitations came out but had originally said they were too busy. But now, mom said those dreaded words that immediately made my body freeze up.
"We've got a lot of holiday time due so we've decided to go to my cousin's wedding," Mom announced. "We'll be flying there on Thursday and coming back Monday morning. If the weather's still good we might even stay a few more days."
"We're leaving?" I asked dumbly.
"It's just for a couple of days Hayley, you'll be fine away from Alex for that long," Mom scowled at me. "It'll do you some good to get some separation time."
"We already do!" I cried out. "I go out with the girls on Wednesday and Saturdays! I'm not with him all the time!"
"Well there isn't an argument in this young lady, we're going and that's it," Mom had her determined face on. "I'll take you dress shopping on Tuesday, and Conner, you'll go with your father to get a suit. Don't even think about arguing."
After the dishes were hastily done I ran up to my room and texted him to come meet me. By the time I had climbed out on my balcony, shimmied down to the ground and ran the few yards into the forest where we usually met, he was already there.
"Whats wrong?" his face was instantly worried as he felt how upset I was. He opened his arms and I flew into them, sobbing into his chest.
"Mom's making us go to La Push for the weekend!" I cried, not loud enough for my parents in the house to hear. "Four days, six nights, maybe more, without you! No exceptions or negotiations!"
"Shh Haze, it'll be fine," he tried to soothe me but his arms were a little too tight and I could hear the panic in his voice. "Where's La Push?"
"Washington!" I cried. "That's ages! Two hours by plane!"
"Don't worry Haze, whatever happens we'll get through it!" he assured me.
Tuesday I took him shopping with me to get a dress. In a way it was a bad idea, because he would automatically say I looked great in everything, but we took Dante with us, and he voiced his honest opinion to everything. Eventually we found a green dress that came to my knees the color of my eyes with some strappy sandals that had small heels, then I used moms credit card to buy us lunch. The next two nights I stayed at their place curled up on Alex's bed, protected in his arms, but then I had to leave.
Please review! I appreciate all critisism!
