Journal Entry 2

Hello again Journal. Today is another installment of my life. Well, better get started. I didn't hear from Raphael again for a few days and it wasn't until a week after we met did I see him again. I was laying on my bed, trying to ignore the fact that my dad had his drunk friends over. Again. They were playing poker in the living room and I had my door locked and my desk chair wedged under the doorknob. I also had one of my dad's guns with me in my room. Guess I'm paranoid or something but I don't trust his friends. Especially when drunk.

But anyways, I was on my bed. Reading the newest book of Sherrilyn Kenyon. And as I was getting to one of the best parts, a tap on my window scared the ever loving piss out of me. "Holy shit." I muttered as I looked over to my window. I saw a pair of amber eyes practically glowing out of the darkness. Scrambling across my bed, I opened the window.

"Raphael!" I breathed out, looking at those amber eyes.

"Heya." he said.

I gently touched the glass of my window that was above my head, slightly leaning out of the window. "You came back" was my whisper.

A deep chuckle wrapped itself around my ears. "Course I did. I did tell you that I was going to tell you how it went."

That made me smile. "You better. For I missed you."

I heard him sit down. Again in the shadows. "You did?"

"Yes. For you're my friend. I got worried for a bit."

A flash of white came from the darkness, showing me that Raph was smiling. "Well, I'm here. Want to know what happened?"

My smile grew. "You know it!"

He chuckled again. I got comfortable on my bed and began to listen to his tale. I laughed at parts, and waited with berated breath as I heard on how they finally got the tape back. I could tell he was lying about certain parts but I didn't mind. All I cared about was how that Raphael was alive and here in front of me. Soon, he finished his tale and we sat in comfortable silence. But after a while he spoke again. This time asking a question.

"So, why do you have your chair shoved against your door?"

I froze and went to stare at the door. I kept looking at the wood that made up both the door and chair. It was a few minutes but it felt like a life time when I finally replied. "My dad has some friends over."

Raph was silent, letting me continue. "And I don't trust my dad's friends."

He didn't say anything but I knew he was there. "Why don't you trust them?"

That made me laugh. "Me? Trust one of those drunks? Please. I would rather trust Morgan with my life."

I could tell Raph was confused on what I said. "Who is Morgan?" he asked.

I leaned back against the window sill. "She's this girl in my school who I hate. And she hate's me just as much."

"Ahh. Gotcha" said my ninja friend. I subconsciously felt a tremor of something go down my spine as I stared into those amber eyes that seemed to burn from the darkness of the night.

I ignored it and continued on. "So, yeah. I don't trust my dad's friends."

Propping myself against the windowsill, I looked up and tried seeing the moon through the city lights and smog but could not. It saddened me a bit, knowing that I could not see the stars. I continued to stare out into the night in a comfortable silence with Raphael. I could tell he was still here, for I could hear his deep breathing coming from the darkness next to me.

For the millionth time, I wished I knew what his face looked like but I did not. I respected his life as a ninja and would see him until he WANTED me to see him. I closed my eyes and rested my head against the window frame. We continued to sit there, just basking in the night that made up New York...

We stayed there for who knew how long, just resting in each others company until he said, "I have to leave soon."

The thought of him leaving made my heart squeeze. "Oh. When?" And that, my friends, is called Open Mouth. Insert Foot.

He chuckled and said, "In a few minutes."

I nodded and quickly moved to my desk. I began muttering to myself as I searched my stuffed desk for a clean sheet of paper. Damn me for being a writer right now. After what seemed forever, I had found a clean sheet of paper and grabbed my red sharpie from my left drawer. I quickly scribbled my cell phone number and my email on the paper. I all about ran back to my window and held the paper out of it. It crinkled as Raph took a hold of it from the darkness. I could tell he was staring at it like it was a ticking time bomb.

"What is it?" he asked, confusion dripping from his voice.

I giggled. "That, my friend is my cell and email. I want to hear from you at least ONCE a day. Just to make sure you are alive Mr. Ninja."

He laughed again and it made me smile. "Well, it looks like I get a girl's number before my brothers. Who knew eh?"

I laughed with him and once we were done laughing, I couldn't help but look out into the darkness. I could see his bright amber eyes burning like a sunset. It made my heart race, knowing that he was just a step away. But, sadly, I could not join him in his world. At least, not yet.

After a while, he cleared his throat and said, "I should, probably go."

I desperately wanted to reach out and say, "Don't go" but instead, I said "Yeah. Don't want your dad freaking out now right?"

He chuckled and he looked at me for a bit longer before closing his eyes. I heard him jump and I rested my hands against my windowsill. I had no idea how long I stood there but what I did know was that I had tears falling from my face the entire time...

Well, that is enough for now. Guess I will add more later. Signing off (always wanted to use that)
