Chapter four!
Friends
Disclaimer- I do not own twilight…lets just leave it at that
I woke up in the morning for the first time it was decently bright. I opened my eyes and looked around my room my window was open and the curtains were pulled back. I was wearing my pajamas for some reason I didn't remember getting into them. I got up in a swift movement and instantly regretted it. My head was hurting….great… head ache…I lay back down on the bed…
Sunday… what should I do today?
I finally forced myself off the bed and walked to the bathroom it felt like someone had decided to play drums on my head I would have to go get some Tylenol…I wonder if my Aunt had some. I walked downstairs and was welcomed by the smell of eggs and bacon.
"Good morning" I murmured
"Hey" responded my Aunt
I smiled and walked over to the cabinet and got a plate put some bacon and eggs in them. Got some orange juice and set it on the table.
"Do you have some Tylenol?"
"Yea in the third cabinet from the stove" I got up and walked over to it grabbing the bottle and taking 2 pills
I walked back to the island table and tossed the pills in my mouth. Then I washed them down with my orange juice.
"So how was yesterday. Did you finish all your work?"
"No I started to but then I couldn't resist the sunshine it felt like it was calling me. I went out for a run but…." I trailed off not remembering much of what happened afterwards.
"I guess I was really tired and went to bed because I don't remember doing anything else." I stated
Afterwards I got my plate and cleared the table then put the dishes in the dish washer. Then I went upstairs to go take a shower. Quickly showering and dressing I went straight to my room and attempted to gun down all my homework.
I woke up to the sound of rain hitting my window sometimes it could get so annoying.
I got up took a shower. Walked back to my room in a towel and opened my closet. I looked in and started to think of what to wear. A smile crept up to my face thinking that for once I had an interest in someone.
I could be like every other girl and get all dressed up so he could not notice me. I decided to wear my favorite jeans that fit me all so perfectly. Then I put on a white skin hugging shirt with yellow lines on it. Then to top it all off with a jean jacket the color of my pants (forks was really cold sometimes).
I looked into my closet and looked at my shoes the only ones that matched my top were white boots that would be black by the end of the school day. I quickly changed my shirt to a black one and grabbed my black boots.
I drove to school listening to the radio. Where was my ipod. I had worn it for my run but now I didn't know where I had put it…
I'd just look for it after school seeing that I was already in the parking lot. The second I got out of the car I saw the silver Volvo pull up. I knew exactly who was in there I tried to walk away before I had to catch myself staring.
I quickly turned and walked towards the school with my heels making the click ….click sound. The morning went by quickly I had history next maybe Becky would be there…Or maybe………
I walked into the class and almost had a heart attack I was one of the first people there except for Octavious who has conveniently seated by my desk (and I must say looking more beautiful than ever).
I walked slowly trying not to trip on anything. I seated myself and looked straight ahead. I could feel him staring at me burning a hole in my face. I started to blush. I let my hair fall over my cheeks and peeked out of the corner of my eyes he was looking at me with a smile on his face. He caught me. I turned even redder than before.
"Hi" he said in a sweet soft velvety like voice
At first I was stunned. Then I realized that he was talking to me. "umm uh Hi"
"I'm Octavious" he put out his hand I instinctively put out mine then took it back quickly. He looked shocked and then he had the smile back on his face.
"So what brings you to forks?"I swear if that smile was a disease we would all have it because I felt myself also smiling like an idiot.
"I have to spend quality time with my Father's sister" I replied….it wasn't the whole truth but it was as honest as I could be.
"Really? You moved all the way down here to spend time with your Aunt?" He said questioning.
At that exact moment the teacher walked in and he rose from the seat and went to go sit in his.
Most of the period went by with me staring at the back of his head he looked back one time and mouthed that he would see me at lunch. I smiled beside myself. I would defiantly see him at lunch.
The bell rang I got up trying my hardest to keep myself well balanced. As I walked out of the room I caught site of him and when he spotted me he came over to walk with me fluidly.
"so do you feel like having lunch?"
"Yea sure"
We went into the cafeteria and I headed for the line.
"Gees your going to eat all that food?" I said as I watched him fill his tray up
"I don't really eat any of this stuff" I looked around the cafeteria trying to see if anyone was staring at me. As I had expected people were watching staring not even daring to look away if I caught them.
"So why did you really come to forks?"
This question startled me and I just answered that "well if you were listening before I came to spend some time with my A-U-N-T I"I said even slower this time
He looked up at me as if his eyes were searching for more "Well it feels like I'm getting another vibe"
I smiled knowing that he would never really know completely why I came here. He would never understand. If I ever told anyone I would probably be committed.
The lunch past by with us talking me asking him questions sometimes he surprised me with his answers. He had moved to forks this year after having lived in Alaska for about a year. He came to stay with a family friend.
Who had adopted him after his parents died in a car accident. He said that the impact of the accident was not very big on him seeing that his parents weren't all the way close to him. He went further into details about their jobs.
How their jobs seemed to be the most important thing in their lives. He loved his new family and his new life it was a lot better and easier to live here in forks even if it always was under the clouds.
I hadn't expected him to tell me as much as he did. About his loss, and his upbringing. Then he surprised me by asking me about my life. But before I could answer His sister past by saying "I know you guys must be having a good conversation because the cafeteria is practically empty…..your going to be late"
I got up quickly shuffling to get all my books I dropped one and then another one slipped in the other direction as I was picking one up I got up to pick up another one only to come face to face with Octavious. HE smiled, I caught my breath. I felt all funny inside and I liked it.
"Where are you going" he asked with a questioning look. But behind the question I swear I saw a trace of a smile trying to form on his face.
"Umm… umm… uh…." said trying to comprehend what he just said. "I'm going to… to Calculus" finally unscrambling my brain and finding the answer to the question.
I got to class just as the bell had rang. The rest of the day went by like a blur. All I though about was Octavious.
I went out of my last class and almost caught my breath when I saw him. He was walking in my direction looking right at me.
"I was wondering if this weekend I could show you around" he said looking at me, and locking my eyes.
"yea s-sure" I said blushing then looking away. I had started walking and he was going with me walking me to my car. As I stepped outside someone brushed by me. Accidentally the person touched my hand and it came…..
They were at a party….but then I blacked out
I was being shaken. Then I opened my eyes. There were people around me. Octavious was supporting me with his hands (I guessed he caught me before I hit the ground). He was looking down at me with a concerned expression.
I looked up and then started to get up and he put a hand on my back trying to help me get my balance. Everyone started going in the directions they were originally heading, after seeing that I was still alive I guessed. I started heading towards my car and he grabbed my shoulder lightly.
"You're not driving today" he said with a smirk on his face.
"Yes I am" I said sort of confused by his input
"Well after your little show…I don't think so"
"Look I'm fine" I lied. Knowing perfectly well that something was wrong. My head was starting to hurt. I swayed a little. He put a hand on my arm. Then wheeled me in the direction of the passenger side of my car.
"I don't think so…."
"Look at you." He waved his free hand at me. "You can't even stand straight "
"I'm not letting you drive my car!"
"Well then you'll just have to sit with my siblings in my brother's car" I looked in the direction of the silver Volvo and saw that everyone was already sitting and the car was pulling out.
"See they left me…now you're just going to have to let me drive. Besides I don't want to get killed because I let a friend drive in this condition" He smirked as he said "killed" and "friend"
"Fine" I said pouting as I handed over the keys and he quickly unlocked my side and opened the door for me to get in. When I sat down and was completely inside the car he gently shut the door, and walked to the other side.
He slid into the car with a smile plastered in his face. I reached over and before he could touch the radio I put on my CD. The music soothed me. Mozart filled the car with his sweet melody. He looked at me with a look of shock in his face.
"You listen to classical music?"
"Yea it makes me feel better" and then I added "I started listening to it when I was forced to take dance class" I laughed "You'd think those dances would be easy"
"I learned how to do the flamenco and the waltz" and then I added "It turned out to be pretty fun"
Now he was practically gaping at me "you know the classical waltz?"
"I think I already cleared that up" I said slower this time "Don't laugh"
"I'm….not laughing its just nowadays people are not really listening to the real music." And then he added "my brother Edward would get along with you just fine…he loves the music"
"oh" I said
Now we were at my house. Before I could stop myself I said "Would you like to come in since you don't have a ride or any way to get home"
He smiled and nodded. Then he was outside my door opening it as I stepped out I realized the rain had picked up and I didn't have my rain jacket on.
I walked quickly to the porch trying to avoid getting wet. As I stood in front of the door I remembered that he had my keys.
"Keys" I held out my hand.
"Oh" he said
I took the keys from his hand. Then I opened the door. The warmth of the house rushed out to greet us. I stepped inside and moved so he could come in. He came in and stood by the door. An awkward feeling crept over me. "S-so would you like anything to drink?" I said as I took off my jean jacket. I hadn't noticed his eyes were drinking in my form until I turned around and looked at him waiting for his answer.
"Oh…No thank you" He said a little dazed
"I walked over to the living room and turned on the light. It was getting a little dark out. Then I saw a piece of paper on the coffee table labeled "read me". I picked it up and started reading it.
Felicity
I'm out with the girls there was a poker competition in port Angeles and I was very important that I'd attend. I'm sorry to leave you in the house by yourself. I left you $20 bill on your night stand. If you want you can order some pizza the numbers on the fridge.
Love
your Aunt
Elaine
After reading it I sighed quietly. Then I looked up from the note and saw Octavious looking at me. Probably trying to study my expression.
"What's?!"
"My Aunt in denial. She's about to reach 33. But she swears she's young" I said smiling.
"oh…."
"Would you like to sit down?"
He walked over and sat on the brown loveseat.
He patted the seat next to him. "would you like to sit?" he asked with a smile creeping up his face. I went to go sit by him. Sure that I was as red as a tomato. We started talking and didn't notice the time go by. We were so wrapped up into our conversation that the time just seemed to fly by. Then he said after looking at his watch "It's getting pretty late. I need to call my brother to come and pick me up. Can I use your phone?"
"Sure" I got up and walked to the kitchen. I could feel him watching me. I got the portable and walked back to the living room. I handed him the phone and went back to the kitchen giving him some privacy I got a glass of water and drank. Before I knew it he was walking back to the kitchen. He handed me the phone.
"Thank you"
"Your welcome" I said "So ill see you in school tomorrow?"
"Actually" he said "I'm going to go camping. Carlisle thinks that it's the perfect time. Besides its spring the flowers are blooming. The green is getting greener who wouldn't want to see that first hand."
"Oh" I said. I was crushed "How long are you camping for?" More like how long till you come back. I knew I had no right to care. But somehow I did.
"Well ill be gone most of the week. I will probably come back on Friday night. Don't worry ill be back for the tour of forks" he said with a smirk.
"Oh" was all I could come up with at the moment to say.
Like on point I heard a car pull up. We both turned around. I walked him to the door and opened it outside was the silver Volvo. He smiled and said good bye. I smile and stood by the door and watch him disappear into the night. Then the car pulled out of the driveway. I just watched as it disappeared. Then I closed the door and headed back upstairs to my room. I needed to shower and change.
Well that's the end of it...sorry no secrets as I promised. But at least they got to know each other. Everyone who reads review please! I could not upload faster because the computer wouldn't let me on. I have chapter 5...only 7 reviews will get it posted.
