First and foremost, giant thanks to Pokemonchen for being the first to review I agree with you and I'm going to slow it down, I just had to set the mood.
"Please Review!" Says Rachel, in a funny voice.
Wait that's my line! Lol, I'm such a cheese ball.
Flashback: And another thing I hadn't realized was how we were leaning closer and closer and when our lips were about to touch I heard Mathew calling our names and breaking us from our sweet reverie.
"We better go inside." He whispered.
"Yeah, I guess." I whispered back I didn't know why we were whispering.
As we started walking back he gave me a playful bump to break the solemn mood. I gave him a push, knocking him on his backside, and started running, knowing that he would be coming after me.
I ran through the garden, hoping to find Mathew before Nick could catch me. I felt an arm around my waist pulling me to a halt. "crap." I thought.
Nick picked me up and flung me over his shoulder. "Where are we going?" I asked as politely as I could.
"I believe Mathew was looking for you." He said being just as polite as me.
I propped my head up with my elbows on his back and started to sing 'The Itsy Bitsy Spider', I knew he was not going to let me down until he was ready so there was no reason to fight. By the time the "spider climbed up the spout again" Nick was singing with me. And this was how Mathew found us, and he wasn't surprised in the least.
"Here you go your highness, I brought back your princess" Nick said setting me down and standing like a soldier at attention.
"She did. She has a temper on her you know. She shoved me on the ground and then she started slapping and clawing at my face, It was quite horrifying." He said with a comical look on his face.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to have you over for super for your bravery." He replied.
"Oh but that's not all. After she beat me up she ran off and I had to go after her. Luckily my legs are longer than hers, and I caught up with her quickly." If this weren't so funny I'd be annoyed.
"For that you get knighthood!" He said with a smile.
But then he remembered something. "Rachel my dear there is someone I'd like you to meet, Mrs. Redmond is an old and dear friend of mine," Mathew said happily.
"Wait did you say Redmond?" asked Nick.
"Yes. I haven't seen her for years, she has a daughter and a son. The boy is your age but her daughter is a couple years older than you. I have a favor I must ask of you Rachel, I'd like you to make them comfortable during their stay here." He said as he walked me inside.
I turned to say something to Nick but when I saw him he was not following us but he was standing where we had left him, and he had an angry look on his face. This puzzled me, I had rarely ever seen him angry and I had no idea why he was now. Could it have been my fault that he had that look on his face? This idea disturbed me. But I could not ask him about it because Mathew and I were already engulfed by the crowd inside.
We stopped in front of a lovely woman with a girl and a boy on ether side of her.
"Celia this is, Rachel Garrett the one I've told you about. Rachel this is Celia Redmond, her daughter Beatrice and Her son Jonathan."
"How do you do" and "Charmed I'm sure" Came from Mrs. Redmond and Beatrice with indifferent attitudes.
But from her handsome son came a pleasant smile and, "It's a honor to meet you, Miss Garrett." And he said it politely.
I smiled back and said "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintances, If either of you wish to have company during your stay, then I would be happy to do something with you, or if you wish for a different character than I have then I would be happy to find a worthy friend for you" I said that last part with a hope that they did not like me. Because I did not really like them so far.
"I'm sure you would be worthy of anyone's attention." Replied Jonathan with an open gaze. Which earned a blush from me and a roll of the eyes from "Queen" Beatrice.
And with that I made my excuses and went in search of Nick, because he was always able to calm my nerves. And right now they needed a lot of calming. But after an extensive search I finally decided that he had gone home.
I decided that I wanted to go home too. I went back to Mathew and found him still with the Redmond girls Jonathan was nowhere to be seen, so I told Mathew that I was going to walk home and that I would see him tomorrow morning because I would probably not still be awake when he got home.
I was looking forward to the peaceful walk home because I needed to think about all that happened tonight.
It was all clouding my brain and making me dizzy, I was so sleepy. But I was also feeling a little nauseous, oh no, not a little nauseous a lot and it was getting worse. "Uh oh" I stopped walking, leaned over in a bush and lost my dinner. Soon I was feeling better but my strength was drained and my face was hot so I leaned against the brick building beside me and put my face on the cool wall.
I heard someone coming up behind me and I pressed against the wall hoping that they would just pass they didn't and I heard the last voice in the world that I wanted to hear right now. Nick. "Hey I was looking for you Mathew said you had left so I- Whoa, are you ok? Rachel you're really pale!"
Great! And now I'm even more dizzy. I thought. and his face is blurring, is the ground supposed to do that?
And that is when I blacked out.
I opened my eyes to the evil sun shining straight in them which was not helping my throbbing headache, so I slammed them shut again. Hmm that feels nice. Someone was putting a wet cloth on my forehead I opened my eyes a crack to see who it was, and guess who I saw.
Yup. Nick, "Good morning! How are you feeling?" Is that question really necessary?
"Fine." I said sarcastically
"Liar." He said frowning.
"Am I in your room?" I asked changing the subject.
"Uh yeah, my house was closer last night and my mom was not at your house to take care of you, so I brought you here." He said with a shrug.
"Wait, you carried me all the way here?"
He sat down beside me on the bed. "Yeah, I couldn't just leave you there." He said with another shrug.
"Thank you." I said in a whisper, as I laid my head on his shoulder.
He smiled "What would you do without me?"
"I don't know." I don't ever want to think about that. That's about the time I started drifting between dreamland and the real world. But before I could get to sleep he asked me another question "Rachel?
Do you like Jonathan Redmond? I saw you talking to him and it seemed like you two had a… thing for each other." I thought I heard worry in his tone but decided it was just the sleep.
"Umm, He seems nice but he's not really my type, If that's what you mean." I mumbled out through the fog of sleep. If I had had my eyes open I would have seen the almost joyous smile on his face.
Yay! I'm not sure how it turned out because I'm prejudice, so please review and tell me.
