Making Friends
I was woken up by the sound of a crash followed by a lot of cursing, I realized it was Julia trying to knock down my door. I walked over to the door and opened it, Julia crushed me. The breath was knocked out of me,
"Julia get your ass off me!" I demanded. I shoved her off, I got a change of clothes and went into my bathroom. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth and hair, I changed into a purple t-shirt and a black skirt that went down to my knees. I walked out and Julia was gone, not that I blame her I'm grouchy when I first wake up. I walked into the living room and sat on the couch,
"Chelsea I'm so sorry!" Julia yelled and came into the room.
I noticed Vaughn was next to me on the couch, I looked back at Julia.
"Its not your fault Julia, I've had some bad memories in the morning. So I tend to be a grouch." I told her and Vaughn raised an eyebrow,
"What did you get drunk and find a hooker in your bed the next morning." Vaughn grumbled. I glared at him,
"Screw you Vaughn!" I yelled and stormed out of the house. I went to the beach grumbling to myself, I heard footsteps from behind me. I turned and saw Denny,
"Hey Denny." I grumbled. He looked at me worried,
"Why are you so upset?" He asked. I frowned,
"Vaughn." I told him and he nodded in understanding.
"He's mean but you get used to it." He told me confidently,
"Try living with him and you'll think otherwise!" I yelled and went back to the house. I walked in to see that Vaughn and I were the only ones in the room, I sat down next to him and crossed my arms.
I heard a excited squeal and turned to see Julia skip into the room,
"Their having a singing contest at the Diner!" she announced. I smiled at her,
"So are you gonna enter?" I asked her curiously. She looked at me like I was crazy,
"Heck no!" She stated. I tilted my head at her confused,
"Then why did you tell us that there is gonna be a singing contest?" I asked trying to figure it out in my head.
"Because your gonna enter!" She squealed. My heart stopped,
"What!? Since when?!" I asked trying to sound calm and failing horribly. She rose her eyebrows in surpise,
"Whats wrong?" She asked worried. "You'll win for sure!" She stated proudly,
"I know its just..." She interupted me by dragging me into her room.
She forced me into a light blue stapless dress that went down to my ankles, she made me put on a pair of white heels. She took me to the Diner, and Mirabelle and Vaughn were already at a table waiting for us. I sat down and gripped the chair tightly, Julia smiled towards me.
"I signed you up to go on first!" She chirped, I felt the blood draining from my face. My heart felt like it was gonna explode, my grip on the chair tighted.
"Everyone our first contestant is Chelsea!" A dark haired woman announced, Julia pushed me onto the stage. I froze and felt everyones eyes on me, I was starting to have trouble breathing. Only one thing came to mind, run! And I did, I ran out of the Diner and straight to the beach.
I hid behind the giant boulder, I felt tears streaming down my cheeks.
I started to sing the only song that would make me feel better, (Someones Watching over me By: Hilary Duff)
Found myself today
Oh! I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
Voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is your not here to say
what you always used to say
but its writen in the sky tonight! I felt as if my family was watching me from heaven, making sure I was still okay.
So I won't give up
No I won't break down!
Sooner than it seems life turns around!
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong!
When I'm in the dark I'll still believe!
Someones watching over me! I stopped singing and burst into tears.
"Chelsea why did you run away from the Diner?" A shy voice asked, I looked up and saw Sabrina.
"Because I can't perform in front of people." I confessed, she nodded in understanding.
"Thats how I am when it comes to meeting new people." She stated smiling, I smiled back. I wiped away a few of my tears, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Whats the real reason your crying?" She asked curiously, I hesitated but told her my whole story.
She hugged me suddenly,
"I'm so sorry that happened to you Chelsea!" She sobbed. I pulled away and stood up,
"I should go back to Mirabelle's house, her and the others are probably worried about me." I told Sabrina. I waved and ran back home, I opened the door and was tackled by a worried Julia.
"Where in the world did you go!? What happened?!" She screached, I pushed past her and stared at the floor as I rushed into my room. I sat on my bed and hung my head in shame, Julia and Mirabelle came inside my room worry clear on their faces.
"Why did you leave!?" Julia demanded,
"Because I'm a coward!" I snapped at her. She blinked surprised, I saw Vaughn standing in the doorway but ignored him.
"How are you a coward?" Mirabelle asked confused, I continued to stare at the floor.
"I'm afraid that he'll find me." I stated, Mirabelle looked even more confused.
"Who is he?" Mirabelle asked confused, I was fighting tears already that would push me over the edge. I bit my lip and shook my head,
"I don't wanna talk about it." I told her. Vaughn walked in suddenly,
"Why are you so secretive!?" He demanded. Julia put a hand on his shoulder,
"Vaughn you really should-" Vaughn shook her hand off and walked right up to me.
"Why do we not deserve to know?!" He growled,
I stood up and glared at him.
"Because you don't need to know!" I yelled, my tears threatening to spill over. His glare deepened as he towered over me,
"Your living in our house! We deserve to know if your some kind of criminal!" He yelled back. I was barely holding back tears before, but him yelling was just to much.
"I don't think you need to know that the man who killed my family is after me!" I yelled and sat on my bed burying my face in my hands as I burst into tears. I had stunned Vaughn and Mirabelle, but Julia had already known. She rushed to my side and hugged me tight,
"Damn it Vaughn! Now look at what you've done!" Julia hissed.
"He killed your whole family?" Mirabelle asked saddness in her voice,
"My mother died after giving birth to me and he took my sister and father away from me!" I sobbed and hugged Julia tighter.
"Can I be alone for a while?" I asked and Julia nodded, she pushed Vaughn out of my room and Mirabelle left on her own. I sat on my bed and pulled out a picture of me, Jill, and dad. Dad had his arms over our shoulders, we were all smiling, and happy. I sobbed and held the picture to my heart, I heard a knock on my door and looked up. I quickly put the picture back, Julia came in slowly.
"We're having dinner." she told me quietly, I followed her and sat at the table. Vaughn was across from me and he was still nt speaking, "You don't have any aunts or uncles?" Julia asked.
I shook my head,
"My parents were only childs." I explained.
"Grandparents?" Mirabelle asked, I shook my head and held onto my necklace tightly.
"They died years before I was born." I told her, I noticed Julia staring at my necklace.
"Where did you get that?" Julia asked, I bit my lip.
"It was my mother's before she died, it was for Jill but when she died she gave it to me." I managed to tell her without bursting onto tears,
I ate my dinner slowly and went into my room. I changed into a light purple t-shirt and jeans, I walked out and towards the door.
"I'm going to the beach." I announced and left for the beach, when I got there I went to my favorite spot. I stared up at the stars, I heard footsteps and looked behind the rock to see Vaughn walking towards me. He looked down at me, his expression unreadable. I stood up and looked up at him,
"I'm sorry." he grunted. I blinked a couple times stunned, he had a weird type of smile on his face. Without warning he pulled me into his arms, my heart stopped for a fraction of a second. I hugged back after a few more seconds, I don't know why but it felt right to be in his arms. I shook away the thought, we pulled away.
"We should get back." Vaughn told me, I nodded in agreement. When we got back I went straight into my room and fell into a calm, peacful sleep.
Dream
I woke up and smiled, which never EVER happens to me in the morning.
I did my daily routine and changed into a white tank top and jean shorts,
I left my hair down and slipped on a pair of white sneakers. I walked into the living room and Julia was watching the news, I sat down next to her and she looked up startled.
"Good morning." I chirped, her eyes widened.
"Are you high?" She asked and I tilted my head to the side confused, she pointed to the tv. A man with dark brown hair and a huge scar across his face was looking right into the camera,
"I killed your family, Your next Chelsea!" He yelled and I screamed.
End of Dream
I woke up drenched in sweat, I started crying my eyes out. I wiped away the sweat and left my room, I went to the room next to mine and knocked on it. A half asleep Vaughn opened the door,
"What is it?" He grumbled.
"Can I come in?" I asked, he grunted and let me in. He laid down on his bed and fell asleep instently, I sat down on the edge of his bed and looked at him. He looks so cute when he's sleeping. I wonder... I laid down next to him and closed my eyes, after a few minutes his arm snaked around my waist and his chest pressed against my back. I managed to turn and snuggled into his chest, I sighed and fell asleep in his arms.
Oooooh! Whats gonna happen next!? Lol, find out soon! X3
