NEW STORY PLOT. I should really stop making new stories ugh. NOTHING BELONGS TO ME.
Laney's Point Of View
Once you are born, you are given a necklace. A necklace that is an unique shape,but it is missing a piece. Your soulmate wears the missing piece to make the necklace whole. The necklace tells you how far or close your significant other is. The closer she or he is, the warmer your necklace is. The farther she or he is, the colder your necklace becomes. Pretty absurd right?
Some people believe and others, mostly girls, don't pay attention and just 'decorate' their necklace. I believe in the legend or myth, whatever it is. I think it's cute and romantic even though I seem like the girl who really dislikes girly things.
"Laney...psst...Laney,'' I hear someone whisper as my hand was holding my necklace tightly, as if I was protecting it. "mm...leave me alone...'' I mumble as I try to go to sleep. "Laneeey, it's 9:18 am. Get up,'' Lila pokes my arm and lifts my arms up. "Leave me alone Lila,'' I whine and my hand lets go of my necklace, which was cold and hard.
I open my eyes to see my sister biting her lip and drops my arms quickly. "Hey look! You're awake,'' Lila weakly says and looks out the window. "Happy now?'' I say harshly. "We're going to the beach ya know,'' She responds with a smile on her face. I sit up and yawn as Lila's fingers are playing with her necklace. "Wish I may, wish I might, find my true love tonight,'' Lila sings and glances at me.
"You believe what mom and dad told us right?''
"For fuck sakes Lila, we've been over with this. Yes I do.''
"I was just making sure.''
Lila leaves the room, with me in my bed. I get off my bed as the sunlight hits my eyes. Too bright. I brush my bangs from eyes and stretch. I kick off the blankets and leave my legs dangling over the edge of my bed. I look at Lila's bed, which was neat and already made, and I stretch again. As I get off my bed, I yawn and grab two towels then I start heading towards the bathroom. I decided to take a shower. I turn on the faucet, which made the shower water go cold then warm. As I wait for the water to be warm, my hand runs through my bangs which made my bangs fall as my hand leaves my hair.
I step into the shower. Once my feet touches the hard,cold floor, it created chills and goosebumps on my arms and legs. I wash my body then put shampoo on my scalp and hair. "Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am? You only love to see me breaking,'' I sing as I wash my hair. "You only want me 'cause I'm taken. You don't really want my heart. No, you just like to know you can.'' I continue to sing as I close my eyes and let the water hit the back of my head.
(A/N: Imma skip to the part when Laney is almost done showering.)
It's been minutes since I put conditioner on. I wet my face which caused me to close my eyes. There was a pain in my chest, not really painful but it was aching. I know it was not a heartbreak. I open my eyes and see steam everywhere, the mirror was steamy. That's when I started having trouble breathing. I was already done with my shower,but I decided to stay inside because of the hot water.
I gasp for air, but I only sucked in the steamy air and there was no fresh, cold air. I became weak, weak enough to not turn off the shower. My hand grabs the faucet, and I turn it until there was no more water. Everything was blurry, wherever I went was blurry. I get out of the shower and I was wheezing for air. My wet feet left footsteps on the ground. I didn't bother to grab my other towel. Water started dripping onto the floor. I forgot to wring my hair, which was completely soaked.
I started having trouble standing up, walking, I couldn't support my body weight. I am not going to die at the age of 16. I look in the mirror, looking into my own hazel eyes. My crimson hair was sticking onto my skin. I reach for the door knob and open the door. Fresh air came in and I inhale it. I hold onto the doorway and my head was against the wall. Breath Laney, just breath. I was getting the floor wet,but I didn't care.
When I was strong enough, I went back into the bathroom to retrieve my towel. I hear me and Lila's bedroom door open then closed. "What were you doing?'' I hear my brother voice call out. I walk back inside my room and look at him. "I almost died while taking a shower, now go away so I can change Ryan,'' I reply and wait for him to leave. "Wait, you almost died while taking a shower? You're kidding...right?'' He raises an eyebrow and completely ignores what I commanded him. "Yes. Well no. I almost passed out now leave,'' I point at the door.
"Tell me what happened when you're done changing Lanes,'' Ryan smirks and leaves my room. I rub my eyes with one hand, the other one was holding my towel. Pervert.
I already know this day is going to be long, exhausting and stressful.
I might post more chapters soon. Now im going to read my books...so excuse me.
