I am the outsider. The one they talk to because I date him. Really there isn't much else to think about. I'm the cheerleader, the popular girl, the society brat. I'm fawned over and doted on but no one really cares. No one but him. My parents expect things that I give them. He expects nothing but gives me everything. I love him because of it. The others are all powerful in their own way, they can't help but bring attention to themselves. So what now? I watch him and I see him grow into the man I know he wants to be. Will he love me forever? Or will he realize one day that he could have so much more? Until then I will stay by his side. I will be one of them even though I really am not.
I watch him knowing exactly what he thinks. He's the rebel, the angry one. I know that one day he will be able to control his power the way he really wants to. He treats me like the young one, they all do. I'm quiet but not reserved. I understand more than they do. Too many uncertain tomorrows await us but for now, today is all I need.
Another day passes and we still live. No wrinkles are visible but age is not just physical. I am the smart one, I do the right thing. I live alone in that way. No one else knows that having this power, this curse, this weight of being the leader is not what I want. I want to be free, I want to be careless. All my life I had to be the best. Options did not exist. Then I found her, my salvation. Her eyes remind me that happiness is possible. My brothers, they are my strength. What will tomorrow bring? It is better not to know. For now I will wait.
They think I am reckless. I know what life is. Contrary to what anyone knows or believes I want to live. I want to know life. I want to love and have it in return. I am stubborn and brash but someone has to be. I carry that burden because no one else is strong enough. I take care of him the only way I know how. I watch the others, happy because they have what I do not. Maybe one day, someday, I will have it too.
I do not know what my place is. I am not the leader and I am not the rebel. I stand in the unknown. A hand reaches as I fall and that is everything and nothing. The power surges through me, waiting. And so do I. I wait for something I do not even know I want. Uncertainty is a tricky thing. When all else fails she is there never leaving. I depend on her more than she will ever know. I need to give her more, and I will. We will stand together and persevere because falling is not an option.
How many times have I seen his eyes darken? They all do. Control is their life and the balance strains them. Only they know how much it takes. All I can do is watch and silently pray that everyday he will return to me unscathed. I will sacrifice everything for him because he already has for me. Love is what binds us but salvation will keep us alive. Only time will tell.
