hey everyone,
this is my newest story at the moment and I hope you like it. Review if you hate it, I wanna know. Though I do hope you like it. Haha. :D

"I love you." I said as I drifted to sleep. Christopher said he loved me too and began stroking my hip softly. A shiver of pleasure went through my body. Christopher pulled me closer and I soon fell asleep in his warm comforting embrace.

Around 3am I woke up as lightning flashed across the sky, deep thunder followed behind it. I was a little freaked out. Thunder had always scared me, so I reached over to wake Christopher. The only thing there was the empty sheets though. I hurriedly got out of bed.

As I walked I glanced around, hoping I would see Chris. Then I screamed when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I whirled around and punched whoever it was. Please don't be Chris, I thought.

"What the hell?" I heard a very pissed off Tristian ask me.

"I am so sorry." I cried, as Tristian began rubbing his nose. I guess that is where I hit him. Suddenly I felt another hand on my shoulder; I turned around to see who it was before hitting anyone. When I looked I saw my friend Hannah.

"Are you ok?" She asked with wide green eyes.

"I'm fine, Tristian just scared me." I said to her, then Poppy came running out of her room, with her copper curls bouncing and her emerald green eyes wide.

"What's going on? Who died?" She asked loudly. I realized she was serious, she believed someone had died. I guess from all the yelling it makes sense. She was shaking like a leaf, in her little bunny slippers.

"Nobody is hurt or-"I started to say, but Tristian cut me off.

"Nobody is hurt!" He scoffed.

"I'm hurt." He whined.

"Fine, how about I rephrase that." I said to appease him. He nodded his head as if to say go ahead.

"No one that matters is hurt." I said as I watched Hannah and Poppy try not to laugh. He had a confused look on his face, because he hadn't realized what I said yet. Then recognition dawned and he gave me an annoyed look.

"Hey! That's not true! I matter a lot!" He cried.

"Of course you matter." I said sarcastically.

"Now does anyone know where Christopher is?" I asked hopefully.

"I don't know where he is, and I can't find Alec either. Hannah said with sad green eyes. Here orange hair was messily framing her gorgeous face.

"I can't find Dimitri either." Poppy said sadly. Her emerald green eyes glistened with tears. Even when sad she was adorable. She looked like an elf, a little nature elf. She would fit right in at the forest. With her almond shaped eyes, and bouncy copper curls. She was so full of life, and beautiful. Of course if I said all this she would deny it. I wish I could be as pretty as her or Hannah. I have straight black hair that goes to the middle of my back. My eyes are a stormy grey, and I'm tall and graceful, but nowhere near as amazing as them.

We all burst into tears, because we didn't know where the guys were. Tristian looked uncomfortable. Apparently he didn't know how to handle three 17 year old hormonal girls.

A few minutes later we finally calmed down and decided to go look around for the guys. You think they would have heard our yelling if they were here, but you never know. The storm could have drowned it out. Just as I thought that, a huge boom sounded, and lightning flashed. Me, Poppy, and Hannah screamed. Then we heard the guys yelling our names, and the echoing sound of footsteps on the stairs.

I felt arms snake around my waist, and I sighed in relief as I turned and wrapped my arms around Christopher's neck. Hannah and Poppy did the same. We stood there in each other's arms for a few moments, and I noticed how uncomfortable and lonely Tristian looked, until his girlfriend Leila came out of their room and walked to his side. He leaned down to kiss her cheek then rested his head on top of hers.

I heard more footsteps on the stairs, and then I saw four amazing boys standing there. The first one had blonde hair with green eyes. No blue, wait no purple. They seemed to be changing every second. The second had dark brown hair and smoky grey eyes. His hair was like silk, and flopped in his eyes. The next one had black hair and chocolate brown eyes.

The last one had an air of confidence. His blonde hair was so light it could be called white, but it wasn't white from age or anything because surely the most he could be was around 19. The other three were probably 18.

"Perfect age for you." My alter ego thought to me, see she believed she could have any guy she wanted. In real life that was far from the truth though. The only person I had ever told about me talking to my alter ego, and thinking she talked back, that person had called me crazy. Then this person had the nerve to try and get me locked away in a loony bin! Luckily my mom had recently married a rich man, and he had the money to make everything go away. Wait off topic, I thought as I ran through the recent events. Ok back to those handsome men.

"I love Christopher though." I told my ego. How about we call her Lucy, yeah that will work.

"He is so hot though. Way better than Christopher." Lucy said to me.

"True. Wait no shut up!" I said to Lucy as I looked at Poppy, Hannah, and Leila. Lucy quieted down, and I noticed that the girls looked distracted. Maybe they are thinking about how hot those guys are while their boyfriends are right there, I thought. Hopefully, because then I won't feel as bad.

All the handsome men looked panicky, I noticed then the one with the changing eyes asked,

"What's going on? Is everyone ok?" He cares, I thought happily. It didn't seem as if anyone was going to answer him so I turned towards him.

"Everyone is fine. I Poppy Hannah, and Leila just got scared by the storm. I'm Mary-Lynette by the way." I said, and each girl had waved as I said their name.

"That's Tristian by the way." I said as I pointed at him. The guy with the white blonde hair stepped forward.

"I am Seth. This is James." He said. James was the one with grey eyes.

"This is Corin." He said as he pointed at the one with brown eyes.

"And this is Ash." He said when he pointed at the last one, the one with changing eyes. Ash, I thought. It suits him. I saw Poppy and James staring at each other, and Hannah and Seth were watching each other. Corin and Leila were staring at each other. Seth looked away from Hannah.

"Why don't we all go downstairs?" He suggested. We all nodded and trailed down the stairs behind him and the others. I was behind Ash and I couldn't help but notice how cute his bum was. I leaned over to Poppy and whispered in her ear,

"Damn, that boy has a nice bum." She giggled then turned back to stare at James. I glanced over at Christopher and saw him watching me, he looked angry and I quickly looked away.

When we walked into the living room all they guys sat down and took up all the room on the couches. Me and the rest of the girls walked over to sit in front of the fireplace, but Christopher grabbed my hand, Tristian grabbed Leila's hand, Dimitri grabbed Poppy's hand, and Alec grabbed Hannah's then they pulled us down to sit on their laps. It was a very possessive move and it bothered me because they usually didn't act like this.

"Well how much do they know?" Seth asked Chris, Dimitri, and Alec. They all looked back and forth between each other than Alec sighed and said,

"We didn't want to involve them, so they know nothing." Me Poppy Hannah and Leila pulled away from them and moved to stand on the other side of the room, beside the other couch.

"What the hell are you talking about?" We said together, as we glared at them.
