Chapter 3: Betrayed
Stevie Rae's pOv
We walk back home, carrying my groceries. He grabbed all of it and guide our way back home. The icy path made me shiver and raise my scarf underneath my nose.
"That was fun!" He shouted in joy.
"I couldn't agree more." I smiled.
"So, you said we're friends now…" He said skeptically.
"Yes, and I mean it young man." I smiled more. "Thank you for making me and the town happy."
"What do you mean? 'Making me and the town happy'?" He asked. I could sense that he just frowned.
"This town has been a lonely place for years now." I explained. "I used to make them happy but only few people can see me."
"I know how that feels."
"You seem to be happy all the time though." I supplied.
"I wasn't before I got here." He replied.
"I'm sorry." I apologized. "I didn't mean to pry."
"It's alright. It happens in unexpected times."
"Oh well. Let's change the depressing topic." I tried to cheer up. "What stunt did you do?"
"I made a double flip and a twist." He boasted. "You can't see it but I'm grinning right now."
"Not seeing doesn't mean I can't feel or sense your boastfulness." I reasoned intelligently.
"Am I supposed to be mad right now?" He said in a teasing voice.
"I guess so…" I shrugged.
"Oh is that so?" He had this mischievous voice again.
I heard him grabbed a handful of snow and pat it many times. In only a few minutes, I heard his arm swung in action. My face was now covered with snow, realizing he threw a snowball at me. Losing my cool, I start making snowballs and hurled it to his direction. As far as I could tell… I'm only hitting trees and he keeps hitting me.
"Enough!" I shouted in anger.
"Aww, come on," He for some reason was already beside me and patted my head. "Where's the fun?"
"Let's just go home before I freeze to death." I shivered, unable to keep myself warm enough.
"Alright…" I heard him pick up our groceries and start walking.
We both get into my house, and with his assistance, put away all of my groceries. I heard him grab a pillow and toss it up then catches it. Convinced that he is having fun, I walked towards the chair beside him. I took a lot of patting around to figure the way to the chair. I accidentally bumped into one of the tables and I stumbled. I expect a painful landing when two cold hands caught me.
"Hey, be careful." He said. "Do you need something? If you want I'll just get it for you."
"No, I just want to talk with you, friend." I answered.
I straightened up and let him guide me to the chair. Once I sat down, I felt the chair's movement and realized that he sat beside me. A weird feeling stirred inside me, a sudden thump from my chest startled me but I manage to keep it in myself.
"So, your name is?" I finally asked.
"Jack," He introduced. "Jackson Overland Frost but just call me either Jack or Jack Frost."
There was a strange emotion I felt when he said his name. It took me a few minutes to figure out what it is. Expectance. He expects me to what though? "Nice name."
"Uhm… does my name ring a bell to you?" He asked. I feel he wants me to know something.
"No, it's the first time I heard a name like that." I admit. What's with his name that is so big deal? I don't understand. I thought.
"Then, how can you hear me?" He wondered.
"Because you are talking to me?" I stated the obvious.
"But that's impossible…" he muttered.
I frowned. "Why am I not supposed to be hearing you?" I asked, totally confused on what he's talking about.
"Nothing, I'm just tired I guess." He reasoned. I feel that he just remembered something.
"Well, I suppose there's nothing to worry about then, yes?" I smirked.
"Yeah, I guess so."
"This is one of those very depressing days of the year." I started a new topic.
"Why is that so?" He curiously asked.
"It's family day." I hid my face under my scarf.
"Where are your parents anyway?" I could feel he started to look around.
"My mom's dead. My dad remarried and won't take me with him." I raised my face which is now really gloomy. "He said I was the reason why trouble keeps on following our family."
"I'm sorry." He apologized sincerely. "Is somebody staying with you here?"
"For now? No. My grandpa was at him hometown right now and he will be back at spring." I answered and smiled. My grandpa is the only family member I'm good with.
"I could move near here so I can guide you more frequently."
"If you want so, sure thing I won't stop you." I simply said.
"Can I ask a question? It's kinda personal." Jack's voice start to sound very serious.
"I don't see why I cannot trust you, so it's fine." I said softly.
"Are you born blind?" He asked seriously.
"No."
An old memory start to stir inside my head once again. I shook my head to clear them and buried my face under my scarf. I feel like crying now but I can't. I have to grow up and forget everything that caused my pain. A felt a cold hand at my shoulder, patting it to get my attention.
"Are you mad or something?" he asked.
"No, youn—Jack." I said as honest as my voice could. "I'm not. Anything else?"
"Yeah…" Jack waited for my cue if he could proceed. I nodded and proceed. "How did you become blind then?"
"A guy with skin color of ashes betrayed me."
