MewIchigoPrincess: Hey y'all! Thanks for all the awesome reviews! I decided to do this chapter in P.O.V. I never do that but, I thought it would be fun to see what it looks like from the character's point of view. Okay, let's get right into it! Here's chapter two!
………………………………………………………………………………..
Chapter Two
Alexis' P.O.V.
The sun was just setting over the horizon, turning the blue sky a brilliant and bright shade of orange, and then eventually a dark pink. It was the end to a very interesting day. I had my heart broken, and then was a couple all in one day. It was kind of funny really. I suppose you want to know what happened today. Yeah, I thought you would. But, as I'm sitting here on the cliff overlooking the sparkling ocean in the bright moonlight, and as I'm watching the waves crash against the slowly, eroding rock, I wonder if I made the right choice.
Earlier Today…
I saw him sitting there, looking out at the vast ocean ahead of him. He looked so peaceful and so handsome.
His big, brown eyes sparkled in the sunlight. Now was the time to do it. I took a deep breath and started to approach Jaden slowly. He must've been really deep in thought, because he didn't even hear me coming. When I touched him, he nearly jumped out of his skin.
"Jeez, Lex! You scared me!" Jaden said with that same goofy, yet wonderful, grin on his face.
I giggled at him. Giggled? Damn. I really gotta stop hanging out with Jasmine and Mindy. I could feel my cheeks heating up slightly.
"Sorry. Um, Jay?"
"Yeah, Lex?"
I hesitated for a moment. I sat down beside Jaden and looked out at the sun, lighting up the roaring waves. As I thought about what I was going to say to Jaden, I could feel my cheeks heating up tremendously now. Jaden must've known that something was wrong because he looked at me with concern.
"Alexis, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
As I looked into his eyes, I could feel myself getting lost in them. His eyes were like gateways into this kind, and gentle soul. I have no idea why I did what I did next. It must've been those damn eyes! I put my hand on his face and gently caressed it. Jaden looked at me with surprise. It wasn't total shock though. He touched my hand and closed his eyes in pleasure, (AN: No, people, not like that! This is rated K+, not T.), and let my hand touch his face. I couldn't help myself. He was so cute! I leaned in and kissed him gently. His lips were so soft and tender. It was really nice. It was too good to be true, though.
Jaden's P.O.V.
I opened my eyes in shock. Alexis was kissing me! I had no idea what to think, or do, or say. When she finally pulled away, I could see tears running down her rosy cheeks. Guilt instantly struck me.
"Alexis," I said. I put my hands on her shoulders, but she turned away. She wiped the tears on her face away and looked at me with a fake smile. She was trying to make me feel better. It wasn't working too well. Her eyes were giving her away. I could tell something in her was broken, and it was all my fault.
"Alexis, I'm---"
But, before I could finish, Alexis put up a finger to my lips and shushed me.
"Jaden, you don't have to say anything. It's all right. This was all my fault. I shouldn't have…"
Alexis stopped and tried to fight back the tears again.
"I'm sorry, Jaden. I have to go."
And before I could stop her, she was up and was running away from me. I sat there and watched her run. Despite what she thought, this was all my fault. If only I would've said something. But now, it's too late.
Alexis' P.O.V.
I ran away from him, as far away as I could. I ran, non-stop, to the Obelisk dorms and fell on my knees. Tears started flowing from my eyes like waterfalls. I couldn't hold it back any longer. I couldn't control it, either. The tears just kept coming. I had no idea anyone was there, until he showed up. Ashton, one of the new exchange students, came out from the Obelisk dorms and walked over to me. I could feel his concern for me.
He kneeled down next to me and put his hand on my back. He looked at me with his emerald green eyes, and I could tell that there was something else there besides concern. I searched his eyes, looking for what that something else might have been.
"Alexis, please, don't cry. I'm here for you," Ashton said.
His voice was so gentle and calming, even though he did have a heavy Irish accent. I have no idea why I did what I did, but I threw myself in his arms and cried. Ashton stroked my hair and held me tight. I cried long and hard. Jaden was the first guy I had ever fell in love with. And now, that love was broken.
But, there was something about Ashton that made it okay for me to trust him. As he calmed me down and we started to talk, and as I gazed into his deep, green eyes, I realized that that other emotion he had for me was love. And before I knew it, we had become a couple. I was pretty happy at first. I mean, it made me feel a lot better. He made me feel a lot better.
But, as I thought about it, I wondered if I had done the right thing. I wondered if I had felt the same way about him, or if I was just using him to make myself feel better. I know I didn't love him yet. I mean, we had only just met. And, I knew that deep inside my heart, I wasn't over Jaden yet. I still loved Jaden, but maybe, just maybe, I would fall in love with Ashton soon enough.
Jesse's P.O.V.
Now, let me ask y'all a question. Do you believe in love at first sight? Well, I did, because I had fallen and fallen hard. I mean, I had never believed in love at first sight before, but ever since I'd laid eyes on Trinity, I knew I was in love. It's kind of a weird feeling, really. When I went out with other girls, I never felt quite the same way I did with them as I did with Trinity. I could tell that Trinity was different. Maybe she was the one, who knows? But, she was definitely different.
She has beautiful sapphire eyes that are kind and gentle. But her spirit is what I really love about her. It's confident and strong. But, something about her makes me feel sad. Looking at her, it seems like she's a girl who knows who she and won't let anything bring her down. But, if you look closely, you can see that something in her past has hurt her. She's happy, but that memory is still with her wherever she goes.
Trinity's P.O.V.
My world was rocked. I mean, I had never felt this way about anyone by just looking at them! If it were any other guy, I would have gotten to know him first before deciding whether or not I like him. But, with him, it was different. Have you ever heard of love at first sight? Well, that was what was happening to me. This was a whole new experience for me! I couldn't stop thinking about him!
Jesse Anderson had invaded my thoughts and my heart. I couldn't stop thinking about those eyes. They were so beautiful! I had never seen such a color like his. He had awesome blue hair, which is always a plus. Good hair. Oh yeah, you can never go wrong with that. But, most of all, I could sense in him a gentle spirit. One that was caring and strong. And that's what I needed. I needed acceptance from a guy.
I have something special, something that no one else has. I was born with psychic abilities. I can see into the future, and I can read energy and look at auras. And, I can also see into souls. That's how I could tell that Jesse was so much different than any other guys I've been with. And every time I'm around him, I pick up some strange vibes. I can't exactly interpret what they are, but it sort of feels like caring vibes.
Damn it! I hate not knowing what's going to happen with us! With something as complicated as love, I can't see into the future. There's too much anticipation and emotion. I can't concentrate and relax and see into the future when something like this happens. So, I'll just have to wait and hope that Jesse feels the same way that I do.
Normal P.O.V.
Trinity sat on the dock and watched the sun slowly set in the horizon. Thoughts had flooded her brain and they wouldn't go away. She thought about her new school, Jesse, her new friends, and her past, the most painful thought she had.
(Flashback)
(AN: Just a warning to you readers, this is about to become very sensitive. This part of the story is going to be rated T because of the situation. But, after the flashback, the rest of the story will become K+ again. Just a warning to y'all in case you get really sensitive and emotional, like me.)
Trinity's father had just gotten home from a night of drinking. But, that was nothing new. He did it every night. He was extremely drunk and became very violent towards his wife and his three children. Trinity who was seven at the time, and her little sisters, Paris who was five, and Milan, who was three, huddled together on her bed, listening, terrified to their parent's screaming.
All of sudden, they heard something break and the sound of a body collapsing on the floor. They knew it was their mother, London. They could hear a set of foot steps walking up the stairs.
"No, Aaron! Please, don't hurt the girls! Please, leave them alone! PLEASE!!!" They heard their mother scream.
Unfortunately, their mother was too badly hurt to try and stop him. The door flung open, and Aaron went straight for Trinity. Aaron hated his wife, and he hated Trinity because she looked exactly like her. The long, snow white hair, and the deep, blue eyes. The resemblance was uncanny.
Aaron picked up Trinity and took her into his room. Paris and Milan screamed for their sister. Trinity was frozen in fear. Tears were the only thing that escaped her as she was thrown down on her mother and father's bed. He tore off her clothes and started to rape her violently. This went on almost every night, except for the nights when Aaron wouldn't come home drunk, which was rare. In the middle of this, though, Trinity's mother came in the room, her eyes and her body were glowing purple. Aaron looked up at his wife in shock. He ran up to London, wanting to do anything to make her suffer, even kill her.
But London stuck up her hand and Aaron was frozen dead in his tracks. London was merciless. She was going to make him suffer just as much as he did to her. London looked over at Trinity, her eyes still glowing a vengeful and merciless purple.
"Trinity, go in your room right now! I don't want you to see this." She said.
Trinity nodded simply. She grabbed her clothes and ran out her parent's room as fast as she could. London watched Trinity go out and then turned her attention back to Aaron. Her psychic grip on him tightened as he let out an agonizing scream.
"I'm not going to let you hurt my girls ever again, you bastard! Go to hell!" London said hatefully.
She closed her fist, and blood started to drip from Aaron's head. He let out a blood-curdling scream before he fell dead to the ground. A pool of blood surrounded him. London let a single tear escape her broken sapphire eyes and run down her rosy cheeks before she wiped it away. After that, she took her daughters and they left that house, that town, that country and moved to Italy without a trace. And that is where Trinity lived in peace for the rest of her life and where she went to the Harmonium Academy.
(End Flashback)
Every time she thought about it, it made her want to cry. But, she fought back those tears and held herself. If she let that pain get to her, she would only let him win, her mother said. The only time she did cry was right after they moved to Italy, but that was the last time. Trinity stood up, realizing that it was getting late because the moon was high in the sky. She turned around to leave when she saw Jesse standing there watching her with sadness.
This surprised Trinity. She didn't even hear him come. What was he doing here, anyways?
"Jesse, what are you doing here?" Trinity asked meekly.
"I was looking for you. You were gone for a long time and we were starting to get worried." Jesse answered.
"Well, you found me. Now we can go back." Trinity said.
But, Jesse didn't move. He just watched her with sadness and empathy in his aquamarine eyes. Trinity turned around and looked at him. She was getting annoyed.
"Jesse, would you please stop staring at me like that!? It happened a long time ago but, I'm over it! Can we just go please?!"
As Trinity turned around to leave, Jesse grabbed her wrist and spun her around. He looked at her intensely, yet sincerely. His grip on her wrist told Trinity that he was serious.
"Trinity, I swear to you that I will never let anything happen to you. You can trust me. I'll always be here for you."
She looked at him with surprise. No one had ever really said that to her, except her mother. Now Trinity could tell for sure that Jesse was different from any other guys. She gave him a small smile as tears started to flow down her cheeks. Jesse smiled back at her as he held her in his arms. She rested her head and hands on his chest.
'His heartbeat is so comforting,' she thought, 'and so is his smell. He smells so wonderful. I am in love with him.'
'She's so beautiful. I promise you, Trinity, that I'll protect you no matter what.' Jesse thought.
They stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity. Trinity pulled away from him and looked in his eyes. Then, Jesse brushed his lips against hers in a kiss. It was passionate and loving. It was what sealed the deal for Trinity. Now she knew that he would always be there for her, no matter what. And that was comforting to her.
They pulled away for air, but only slightly. They gazed deeply into each other's eyes.
"I love you, Trinity," Jesse said, his voice barely above a whisper.
"I love you too, Jesse," Trinity replied, her voice, also a whisper.
Jesse held Trinity once more in his arms before they walked back to the Obelisk dorms. This was a memory that Trinity would never forget, and this time, it wasn't painful.
