Chapter 1 ~ Farewell
I heard sounds in the hallway as i opened my eyes and was met by the darkness with only the dim blurry light from the moon shining through my window. It was pouring down with rain, and I could see the mist covering the traces slowly as the street outside my window was slowly fading behind the mist.
I heard shuffling outside the door and whispers. I couldn't make out all of them, but I could catch a few of them.
"…Hurry…she….anytime….leave..."
I didn't understand those words at first since my senses were slow from the sleep I just woke up from. I had a nightmare, but I wasn't surprised. I have nightmares every night, sometimes in the bright day when I take a nap, from not getting enough sleep.
I heard more shuffling sounds before a door was opened and then closed. I blinked before I pushed the covers off me and glided out of the bed, grabbing carefully my white kitty cat that was sleeping soundly, but now being wide awake.
I walked towards the door, pressing my ear to the door trying to make out some kind of sound, but it was all silent. I looked down at the kitty cat and it was staring back at me curiously. I haven't named him yet.
I opened the door carefully and stepped outside my room and was met by silence. I looked around before I skipped to my parent's bedroom surprised to see it wide open.
They never leave it open.
I peeked inside but was met by emptiness. Dark, cold emptiness.
I turned around finding my heart rate rise. I didn't have enough air suddenly; something was stuck in my throat. I ran towards the entrance door and pushed it open as I found myself hit by the rain and coldness.
But nothing mattered that time. I was desperate and scared. I was scared to face the reality. The reality of my parent's leaving me. All alone, with a single note lying on my mother's bed side pillow.
Farewell.
"WAKE UP SILVER! WAKE UP!"
I groaned opening my eyes slightly before closing them pushing the covers over me hiding from the bright light.
"WAKE UP LAZY ASS IT'S CHRISTMAS!"
Suddenly I was squeezed by a heavy force making me open my eyes and shout out in pain automatically. I sat straight up making the covers fly down with me having an angry and annoyed look on my face.
"UGH...I'M GONNA KILL WHOEVER DARED TO DO THAT TO ME! I DON'T CARE, I WANT TO SLEEP!" I shouted angry finding myself surrounded my by three brothers. They all stared at me like I didn't just threaten of killing the guilty one. They actually sat there grinning at me before all three of them jumped on me attacking me with hugs.
"IT'S CHRISTMAS SILVER! THERE ARE TONS OF TONS OF PRESENTS FROM SANTA! I SAW THEM ALL!" I heard Michel, the youngest of my brothers shout out with awe and happiness in his voice that I just didn't have the heart to be angry at him.
He just stood there with a big grin on his cute small face not having one tooth at the front because it fell out two days ago. He was one of the most adorable 7 year old boys you could ever meet. Always cheerful and smiling with not only his mouth, but you could see true happiness in his crystal blue eyes as he twirled a lock of honey blonde hair on top of his head. Standing bare foot with his blue and white star pyjama that was in a total mess right now.
"You looked like the sleeping princess before you woke up and started shouting out about sleep. You fell asleep at 1:30 am yesterday; you had more than 9 hours of sleep." Josh's voice suddenly said making me look at him. He was the second brother, 12 years old. Same eye colour as Michael's, but instead of honey blonde, he had light brown short hair. He was wearing his usual black glasses, grey t-shirt and his black pyjama pants, with black socks. He was the smart kid among the three brothers, but sometimes, he was just full of himself. But I still love him.
"Shut up Josh, girls need their beauty sleep." I said smiling at him showing my tongue.
"But you're already beautiful so why bother? We don't want you to get stolen away from us because of your "beauty sleep" making you no more beautiful that you already are sissy?" Luke, the oldest brother said smiling his typical half way smile.
I rolled my eyes chuckling at him.
He was 19 years old, a few months older than me. He was tall and really fit, but what I like the most about him is his kind personality. He is a very good looking guy, and he doesn't take advantage of it. He is smart, and sees beauty in everyone. He had honey blonde hair and thunder grey catching eyes. He was sitting beside me barefooted and with a bare chest with only his "good for nothing but warm nights" pyjama pants as he called them.
I smiled looking at all of them before attacking them with hugs and kisses on the cheek.
"Fine fine, I'm awake now as you can see. Go and wash yourselves and I'll do the same before I go down and make us something to eat." I said and they nodded their heads before running off with only Luke and me in the room.
I looked at both Michael and Josh running out my room and towards the bathroom before disappearing making both of us chuckle at them. I looked at Luke and smiled at him ruffling his hair.
"Merry Christmas Silver and happy birthday!" Luke said gently suddenly taking out a small pretty wrapped present. I blinked looking at him before smiling and giving him a tight hug.
"Thank you very much Luke, and yes, merry Christmas!" I said back before taking the present and wrapping it up leaving me with a dark blue box. I opened it and found the most beautiful necklace I could have ever seen. It was a beautiful silver necklace, the stud shaped into a tear with a beautiful blue crystal in the middle.
I stared at it in shock gaping before looking slowly up at Luke that seemed to be satisfied with the look on my face.
"Oh…my…God…this is beautiful." I managed to choke out as I jumped on him hugging it tightly, but careful enough to make sure the necklace doesn't get ruined.
I smile when he takes the necklace out of my hand and puts it on me. I touch the surprisingly not cold necklace and feel the stone.
"Thank you Luke, It's one of the prettiest necklaces I have ever seen and had, this must have cost a lot." I said to him and he just shrugged it off.
"What can I say; this is nothing for me when it comes to give something precious and meaningful to my family and the ones I love. You are my precious little sister so of course I am going to put effort and love into finding and spending my money on something that has a meaning and thought put into." He said making me smile happily before pinching his cheek.
"Awh, you're so cute I could just eat you up!" I said laughing, when his eyes widened as he rubbed his cheek.
"No it's okay, I don't want to be eaten I still want to live. You can eat me up when I'm lying on my dead bed." He said pinching my nose.
"Ew no, then you won't be cute anymore. And you would probably smell like an old sock or something like all super old people do." I said jokingly and he laughed at my comment.
"fine fine, now get up. Everyone is hungry and mom and dad are still sleeping since it's only what – 10:27 am?" he said and I blinked surprised.
"Seriously, waking me up this early? Oh well…fine." I sighed throwing the covers off and jumping down the bed before walking towards the bathroom while touching the necklace's stone with my finger.
I didn't bother looking at the mirror as I stripped off my clothes fast and jumped into the shower. After five minutes, I was done and smelled good enough to be surrounded by people without them running away from the smell.
I chuckled at my own inner joke and shook my head as I wrapped a beige coloured towel around myself.
I walked towards the sink and took out my toothpaste and toothbrush before starting to brush my teeth. Looking at myself in the mirror I was staring at two pure white eyes. Yes, I had white eyes. I don't know why, and neither did the doctors. I hated it because I was always teased, bullied and called a freak for my appearance. I was different.
Having snow white eyes, and silver long hair plus a weird "tattoo" as I called it on my left wrist shaped as a half moon was not funny. I felt like a freak because I was so different and mainly because everyone used to call me that, but they stopped. Because I didn't live at the same place anymore, I use blue contact lenses and a blonde wig to hide my real appearance.
I was good looking though, had a nice body, skinny, tall healthy looking. And I was also a vegetarian, I don't know why. I just can't eat animals; I get nauseous and feel very bad, so I stopped and realized I was a vegetarian as everyone calls it.
After brushing my teeth, I walk out the bathroom and put on some clothes I find that were basically black sweatpants, white top under and a blue hoodie with black socks. Leaving my hair down to dry I walked out the room and walked down the stairs where I found it empty with no lights on.
I walked over to the switch and when I turned around I was attacked by screams.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SILVER!"
Jumping five meters up in the air from the shock I stared at my whole family where I even found my cousins, aunts etc. etc. there too.
I blinked in shock as everyone rushed over to me killing me with hugs.
"T-thank you!" I laughed out as everyone congratulated me with happy smiles and were all pretty dressed. I stared at all of them in shock and then at my parents that were just standing there smiling happily at me.
"But…when, I thought you were all sleeping." I said confused and they just laughed.
"Sweety, do you really think we wouldn't plan something for you and instead be sleeping in our beds? We love you and we just want you to know that, and it wasn't just all. Everyone came up with the ideas of everything that is here!" my mom said smiling as I came over giving her and my dad a big hug.
They were both kind people, my mom with her brown shiny short hair and my dad with his blond one. They were having on their pretty outfits, my mom in a pretty pink dress and my dad in his black suit.
I suddenly felt myself being dragged off as I saw my parents laugh at it.
"Oi who are you dragging me off like that! I was actually talking to my parents!" I said as I turned and was suddenly met by a massive hair attack.
"Jaz!" I shouted out when the smell hit me making me laugh. After releasing the hug I found my best friend standing there with a big grin on her face.
She was a pretty girl with red hair, green eyes, freckles on her face and a big happy grin on her lips. She was wearing a cute black knee high dress.
"Silver the wet girl!" she shouted out as she messed up my hair.
"Shut up I just got out of the shower!" I said laughing brushing her hands off me.
"So what's up? How's life? How is it to be 19 years old?" she said and I chuckled at her and shrugged.
"Nothing really different than from being 18 as I was just a few hours ago." I said and she suddenly took something out and gave it to me.
"Here for you, it's both from me and the others, but they couldn't come because they all had their own family Christmas celebrations to attend and stuff." She said as I looked at the bag in my hand.
"Open it later we have food to do and things to eat… wait that came out wrong-" she said making me laugh at her before she corrected herself.
"Food to eat and things to do, but anyway, another thing. We don't have school until next weeks because the storm that was a few days ago broke through the school and one of the windows broke that made the classroom inside a total mess and the door blocked by the tons of snow outside. So there is no way to get in or out, so it means time for us girls!" she said happily as I chuckled at her usual energized self.
"What, and without me?" Luke suddenly cut in and Jaz looked at him and I could see a small blush form in her cheeks.
"It's only for GIRLS Luke, and you don't exactly look like one." She said and I nodded my head playing along.
"So, I can just put on some girly things and a wig and voala I'm a girl!" he said grinning making me laugh at him and Jaz slapping his arm.
"Shut up Luke you aren't invited!" she said showing her tongue to him and he just chuckled ruffling our hairs before walking off.
"Girl are so hard to tag along with." He pouted as he walked away and I wiggled my eyebrows up'n down at Jaz when I saw her dreamy look as Luke walked away.
"Geez you're like totally love sick!" I said and it semed like those words made her come back to reality as she turned into a red burning tomato and slapped my arm before running up my room.
"Shut up I'm not!" she shouted embarrassing with me running after her laughing.
"Yeah you keep telling yourself that!" I shouted back as we both fell on my bed.
I put the gifts down beside it and looked at Jaz.
"So how's your love life going?" she suddenly asked and I smiled shrugging.
"It's fine, but I guess this long distance relationship is taking the piss. It's hard not to see him every day and to only hear his voice over the phone. But I'm happy for him though, I mean it's not easy to be doing what he is doing right now." I said shrugging before laying on my back looking up at the ceiling.
"No shit girl, I just don't get why you got together with him in the first place. You guy almost never see each other because he's always traveling around with his band performing. That must suck hard for you two." She said and I nodded my head.
"Yeah, but I like him and he's funny. He has a good heart Jaz, and I can't refuse him to do what he loves to do, that would be too much." I said and she just sighed.
"Silver, you two have been together for almost two years now, and you haven't really been on a proper date now for almost a year because of his touring. And who knows maybe he's out there with some other chick?" she said and I suddenly felt a pang in my chest.
I looked at her and she could probably see the pain in my eyes before she suddenly hugged me.
"Sorry baby, I didn't mean to but I'm just trying to be realistic here. I just want you to be happy, you're such a beautiful girl and there are tons of guys wanting to get a chance with you but can't because you have a dough of a bag of a boyfriend touring around not having time for you. Did he even call you this week?" she asked and now that I thought about her words, they kind of made sense. No not kind of, they did make sense.
"No… he called me two weeks ago." I mumbled and she sighed combing my hair with her fingers.
"Today is your birthday and he didn't even call. He was supposed to be the first one." She said and I nodded my head.
"I know…I guess I'm just so used of him not being around that I don't really think about it." I said and she suddenly gave me a tissue that she took from my desk.
"Here, wipe your eyes girl you're crying over a guy not worthy to cry over." She said and I chuckled taking the tissue drying my eyes. I didn't realize I was crying.
Suddenly the door opened the Luke stepped in.
"Is everything okay here, I had a weird feeling in my chest that something was wro-Silver what's wrong!? Why are you crying!?" Luke suddenly said rushing over to us before sitting down looking at me giving me a hug.
"Are you okay? Why are you crying?" he asked looking concerned.
"She's crying over her dough bag boyfriend that didn't even have time to call her these last two weeks and even today on her birthday." Jaz explained and Luke suddenly had an angry look on his face which was surprising, because it was very unusual of him getting angry.
"Philip!? Silver I told you to break up with that jerk he's not worth crying over and he's only breaking your heart by the way he is treating you." Luke said annoyed as he looked out the window as if my boyfriend Philip was standing there.
"I know, but I have at least to wait until I meet him. It's not right to break up over the phone." I said and they both looked at me with indescribable face.
"You're seriously too nice and kind hearted at times Silver." They both said in unison and looked at each other surprised when they said the words at the same time. I looked at them chuckling before shaking my head drying my tears.
"Yeah, I guess. Well, let's get down and get some good unhealthy food and have fun!" I said and they both agreed making our way down the stairs to where everyone else was sitting and chatting.
"Silver sweety… we have some bad news for you." My parents stood in front of us having sad looks on their faces. I stared at them confused.
"What do you mean?" I asked suddenly feeling something in my throat and my chest aching in pain.
