"Britt, wake u." Calvin shakes me. I sigh. "We have to go in a minute"
"Okay, give me a sec." I say. I get up and change my body to the green eyed, pale, skinny person I was yesterday. I am wearing skinny leg jeans, a top that says 'I know I hate the world but I love people.' My father got me that. I am wearing Nike white sneakers. I update my letter to the guys.
Everyone,
I think it maybe easier if I don't tag along anymore. I might lose it and hurt everyone. Please take care of Calvin and Stasha. I hope you all can understand. Don't come looking for me, you wont find me. Esther will be gone by next week, promise. And I will be with rather then Bo, in his body and by he time she finds out it is me, it will be too late. Take care all.
Britt.
I pick it up and give it to Hornet.
"When you come back here, open it, but not before. Follow it, don't disobey it." She nods. I smile and hug her. "Thanks."
"Let's GO!!!!"
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
When we get to the church Scipio tells everyone that Prop, Mosca and myself have to go in. I smile.
"See you." I call.
"I didn't know you where Catholic." Scipio says when I bow to the Tabernacle.
"I'm not. Christian." I say.
We enter a small room.
(Sometime after the meeting where I stay quiet and still.)
"Whoa, you can count fast Britt."
"Why thank you Mosca."
I open the basket.
"Messenger Pigeon."
"Right."
"Can I stay here? I feel… safe here." I ask.
"Sure, met you at the Stella." They leave. I sit down.
"Lord, what do I do?? I don't want to leave but it will keep me safe, please lead me in the right direction." I get up and leave through the alley door. Then I run to Victors and push the note under his door and wait outside. The door opens.
"Why hello!" He pulls me in.
"What do you say?? Let Bo have a life with Prop." I say.
"It may work."
"Just don't tell the others, please. They won't know."
"Okay, I will call them now."
I change into Bo, with scruffy jeans and a hoodie.
"Wow, you look identical."
"Part of the plan Victor, part of the plan." I say. My mind wanders off to the others. What will happen when I leave? Will Calvin be alright? Will Scipio go on the merry-go-round? I will never know.
"Their coming." Victor says proudly, breaking my thoughts.
"AWSOME!!!" I cry. "Can you not chase after Bo and Prop after this? It would mean a lot to me. And if you see them, don't tell them what I have decided to do. Please?" He smiles.
"You are doing a great deed for your friends. I will see what I can do." Then he frowns. "What are you going to do when you are with Esther?"
"Be bored." I smirk. "Sorry about the ladder, my friend was hurt when that happened and I can get….. over protective with that sort of thing."
"Right, it cost me a trip to the doctors and the chemist."
"Sorry." I whine.
"They will be here in twenty minutes, why don't you make yourself comfortable?" He says. I settle into a chair in front of his desk.
"I don't want to do this." I whisper. Victor looks at me. "But I have too." I start to cry.
"Why are you doing this then?"
"I don't want my heart to brake again and I don't want to hurt anyone. They will get along better without me." I sigh. "And stupid love would get into the way of my life AGAIN!!"
"Wait, you are like 13. How many boyfriends have you had?"
I smile "At least five, all retards I guess." He smiles. I start to drift off.
Last thing I hears I don't tin you should do this."
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
'Knock, knock.' I sit up and curl into a ball.
"Don't want to go!" I scream like Bo would. Victor smiles.
"Ah, Mrs. Hartlieb. Bo is in here."
"NO, NO, NO!!!" I scream.
"Bo calm down!! Thank you Mr. Getz. Hope to see you soon." She picks me up.
"She doesn't." I mouth.
"I know." He smiles.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
I sigh.
"Why don't you eat your entire sundae? It's all for you." Mr. Hartlieb says.
"Can I go to the bathroom?" I ask politely.
"Very well dear." Mrs. Hartlieb says. I get up and run to outside the restaurant.
"I can't stand this." I mutter to myself. I look up. Hornet, Bo, Prop and Scipio are all there. I turn and run back. "Oh God!!!" I walk over to the Hartliebs. "Full." I mutter.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
'Knock, knock' I turn. Prop, Bo, Scipio, Mosca, Hornet and Riccio are here. I look behind the door.
"What?" I ask. "I'm tired and I am sure Bo doesn't want to live with his Aunt." Calvin jumps up.
"Well I don't want to leave." He frowns. "It's my fault isn't it?"
"No, sometimes in life you need to make decisions that you don't agree with. Like this. It is MY decision; no one forced me to make it. Now good night." I start to close the door but Scipio stopped it.
"You are going home with us tonight." He says.
"Why should I R.B? I will come back, escape from the boat something, I will come back. Venice is too beautiful to leave." I grin. "That and I love the Stella."
"Why won't you stay?"
"Well, I have become a Jane Doe..." I wink at Calvin.
"You are a missing person." He gasps. "You said you would NEVER do that. Not even after what HE did to you!!"
"Shut your mouth!" I say. I transform into my normal self. "I know, but things change, just like me." I breathe out and calm down, closing my eyes. Something is not right.
"Britt?"
"Victor!!" I cry out.
"I'm Mosca, remember??"
"No, Victor is in trouble." I jump out, now in skinny leg jeans, black, and a fitted black short sleeve top. Black sneakers and a black cap complete it all. "Later." I run.
"Hey!!! YOU!!!" I turn and smirk. Scipio's father is looking for him and has just spotted me.
"Yes??" I ask sweetly.
"Is your father Signor Vinti?" (AN: Random name!!!)
"No? Who is he??"
He shows me a picture. "Him." I look up and kick him.
"On the run again are we Britt?" Scip yells.
"Depends. GO!!!! RBF!!!!" Calvin pales and whispers something to Scipio. He nods and leaves. "GO CALVIN!!" I run and leap over the wall.
"How???" Bo asks. It was rather tall.
"Don't ask." We keep on running. When we get to an alley Calvin nods at me. I smirk.
"OI!!! Over here!!!" I make my voice travel to the opposite alley. I bob down and my smirk goes wider then before. "Not there!!! HERE!!!" I travel my voice at least five alleys to the left. I look at Calvin. "It's The Fear?? Within Temptation?" He nods. I get up and run over some roofs and I stop twenty houses later. I stand side one, arms crossed and leaning against the wall, I cross my legs over.
"It waits for the day
I will let it out
Give it a reason
To give its might
I fear who I am becoming
I feel that I'm loosing the struggle within
I can't no longer restrain it
My strength it is fading
I have to give in
:
(It's the fear)
Fear of the dark is growing inside of me
That one day will come to life
(Have to save)
To save my beloved
There is no escape
Because my fate is horror and doom
Hold down your head now
Just let me pass by
Don't feed my fear
If you don't want it out
I fear who I am becoming
I feel that I'm loosing all beauty within
I can't no longer restrain it
My strength it is fading
I have to give in
(It's the fear)
Fear of the dark is growing inside of me
That one day will come to life
(Have to save)
To save my beloved
There is no escape
Because my fate is horror and doom
Long ago it came to me
And ever since that day
Infected with its rage
But it ends today
(It's the fear)
Fear of the dark is growing inside of me
That one day will come to life
(Have to save)
To save my beloved
There is no escape
Because my fate is horror and doom"
"There!!" He yells. I smirk and disappear in a cloud of black smoke. I am leaning on the side, my shoulder on the wall, arms and legs crossed.
"Sup?" I say. Then I disappear into another alley, in the same position. "What's wrong?" Disappear and I reappear in the first position, right behind him. "Can't catch a girl?" I appear behind him standing properly. "Or are you just scared..." disappear, appear up on the first roof "Of little old me?" I smile as I appear in front of him. "Let's play a game. Chase. You go home and call the police and I stay here. It's your job to catch me."
"Why don't you come home with me? I have a boy you could play with."
"What?? The one you abuse?? I am seen you hit him, hurt him and abuse him in one of the worse way possible."
"What??"
"Divorcing then killing his mother." I frown. "And I know from experience. Also you physically and metal and verbally abuse him. Make him look bad in front of your guests? You're nothing but a big show off!"
He laughs. "Is that the best you can come with?"
"No. But I am trying to cut down on the swearing a bit. Later." I disappear. "God he is annoying." I mutter to Scipio. "Victor." I run towards his apartment. "Where?" I ask Riccio.
"Stella." Things are speeding up. I run to the Stella.
"VICTOR!!!" I turn. "Let me speak to him. Alone." I walk in. "Victor, I need you to do me another favor. Don't tell the others about Scipio." I look straight into his eyes. "Please?" He nods. "If you stay quiet I can get rid of that rag." He nods really fast. I take it out and he spits behind him.
"Esther?"
"Can go to hell." I say. Then his mobile rings.
"HE RAN AWAY AGAIN!!! WE DO NOT WANT HIM BACK!!!" I hear a scream, then a dial tone.
"Bo's off your hands." I get up. "Esther no longer wants Bo." I smile and turn.
"Is it true, what they say? Are we too blind to find a way?
Fear of the unknown cloud our hearts today
Come into my world; see through my eyes
Try to understand, don't want to lose what we have
We've been dreaming but who can deny
It's the best way of living between the truth and the lies
See who I am; break through the surface
Reach for my hand; let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way, the world is in our hands
This is not the end
Fear is withering the soul at the point of no return
We must be the change we wish to see
I'll come into your world, see through your eyes
I'll try to understand before we lose what we have
We just can't stop believing 'cause we have to try
We can rise above the truth and their lies
See who I am; break through the surface
Reach for my hand; let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way, the world is in our hands
See who I am; break through the surface
Reach for my hand; let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way, the world is in our hands
This is not the end
Hear the silence preaching my blame
Will our strength remain if their power reigns?
See who I am; break through the surface
Reach for my hand; let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way, the world is in our hands
See who I am; break through the surface
Reach for my hand; let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way, the world is in our hands
This is not the end" I grin to Calvin.
"You are into Emo music??"
"You are as bad as Him. It is no Emo music, but Metal. Duh!!!" I say, rolling my eyes. "So what's going to happen?"
"Who votes that Britt stays?" No hands. "Leave?" Everyone.
"Later then!!" I walk out. "Oh, and Scipio, you might want to tell them what RB actually means. And where the scars come from. And let Victor go." I walk out of the side door.
AN: sorry for the short chapt. The next time I write it will be in Calvin' POV. Britt isn't out of the picture, but I may knock this off for a few months. Until I have finished one of my stories. Until then, read and review!!!!!! M.U.C
