Chapter 9
"Ugghhh," I said, stretching. We had just finished another long Social Studies class where all he did was talk. I almost fell asleep twice, but Phil lightly stepped on my foot every time I started dosing off.
"We only have biology left, and I think we're watching a movie today. Hey are you okay?" Phil said to me. I yawned.
"Yeah, I'm just tired. And wait, does that mean that I can sleep in Bio.?" I said
"Um, sure."
"Thanks!" I said smiling at Phil. We walked, well, Phil walked and I was pretty much dead on my feet so Phil kind of had to drag me. We sat down in out normal seats, and like Phil said, we were going to watch a movie about ocean life or something like that. It will be easy to fall asleep with, that's for sure. When the teacher turned out the lights it got pretty dark, we only had a couple small windows in the room. The movie started and I had already started dosing off. But every time I got close to Phil, I would feel a kind of electric pulse. I tried to ignore it and I eventually fell asleep.
Phil's Point of view~~~
She seemed so tired today, I was worried about her. I wondered if she'd been getting enough sleep lately, or if she was just worn out. She kept on falling asleep in class today, and now in Biology she had fallen asleep on my shoulder. I kept on feeling an electric pulse.
She looks so cute when she's asleep, her hair partway fallen across her face, mouth in a slight smile, hands placed lightly on the table. I wanted to hold her hands so badly, but I knew she didn't feel the same way. I sighed and looked at the movie. Things were flashing across the little screen, but I don't see what they are doing. I'm too fixated on the girl sleeping next to me.
Soon, too soon, school was over, and I didn't remember anything that had happened in the movie. I reluctantly shook Jenny softly to wake her up. She groaned and got up. As I dragged her along to my car she fell asleep again, so I had to pick her up and carry her to the car. I opened the passenger car door, sat her on the seat, and buckled her up. Making my way around the car I decided to call Carlisle.
"Hello" He said on the phone.
"Hey, can Jenny come over today, maybe spend the night?" I asked politely. Carlisle sighed.
"Sure, but you have to get her some stuff and her parents permission."
"Okay. I will. See you soon." I said as I hung up. I looked for Jenny's home phone number in my contacts, and once I had found it I clicked "Call this number".
"Hello." a woman's voice answered the phone.
"Hi, is this Jenny's mom?" I asked
"This is her." she replied
"Hi, Jenny was wondering is she could come over to my.. sisters house for a sleepover tonight…?"
"Oh, sure. Of course she can. I'll leave her a bag of clothes on the house step, I have to leave for work soon. Have Fun. Bye" and she hung up. I closed my phone and put it back into my pocket.
The drive to Jenny's house was quiet without her normal chattering. When we got to her house, I saw the bag of clothes on the front step, and went to get them. Her clothes were in a green bag. I put the bag into the backseat of the car and drove over to my house.
It had started to snow again, coming down in flurries. Jenny moved around a little.
Jenny's point of view~~~
I woke up in Phil's car. We were driving back to my house, or at least I thought we were. "Where are we going?" I said yawning.
"My house." He stated.
"Why?" I stared at him.
"Cause you're sleeping over."
"But I just slept over!" I was surprised, normally my dad wouldn't let me sleepover during a school week. "Wait, who answered the phone?"
"Your mom, why?" He glanced at me. I rolled my eyes,
"Oh, nothing, she's one of those moms who would let me do anything. Literally…" Phil just smiled.
"It'll be fine, I'm sure she'll tell your dad where you are." He said laughing. I glanced out the window, it was snowing again. I sighed in relief. "What?" Phil asked when he heard me sigh.
"It's just so pretty. But it will be gone sooner or later. It's just something that you have to enjoy while it's here, but not complain when it leaves… you know?" I looked at Phil. He was staring at me with adoration in his eyes. I blushed and looked back out the window.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." He said as he pulled into the driveway. We got out of the car and walked into the house. "Hey, we're home!" Phil said as we took off our wet shoes. Carlisle said hello, and that he was really sorry about what happened last time I was here. I told him it was no big deal, but he disagreed and said he was sorry again. I rolled my eyes and said thanks.
I saw Cristina and caught up with her. We talked for a while, it had been a while since I had some girl time. Phil had gone to talk with his brother upstairs. Me and Cristina laughed and giggled a lot. She was a huge gossiper so I heard most of what was going on at school, who had crushes on who, who was dating, which teachers were married, who the hottest person was, who was the most popular. I had a lot of fun. Phil eventually joined in on our conversation when he was done talking with Jeremy.
After about 30 minutes of talking I walked over to the window. It was snowing even harder now, it looked like a blizzard. Out near the woods I saw a couple deer peek out from the forest. They were so cute as they pranced around in the snow. It reminded me of the Disney movie Bambi. A mother and a fawn in the snow, the mother just keeping watch, making sure that the fawn didn't get hurt as it chased after each snowflake and rolled around in the snow. That movie always made me cry when the mother died saving Bambi. Phil broke my concentration on the deer family when he moved next me to and then the lights went out.
"Wow." I said as I stared outside, without the lights on in the house it looked so much prettier outside.
"I know, it's so dark!" Phil said, obviously not knowing what I was talking about. I slapped his arm lightly.
"No silly, look outside." He turned his head and looked.
"Whoa, it's so beautiful… and that sounded so cheesy." He laughed quietly.
"But it's true. It is really beautiful." I sighed and leaned against Phil. I was still so tired. Soon everyone was downstairs. They were all talking about how cold it was and how it was so dark. I didn't mind the cold and I liked it dark. But Kristen and Cristina were nagging so much, so finally someone got a whole bunch of candles and lit up the room. Then they got blankets. Everyone was in couples, Cristina and Emmett, Carlisle and Ericka, Jeremy and Alexandra, Edward and Kristen. They only single ones in the room were me and Phil. The couples looked so cute. Cristina and Emmett were sharing a blanket and sitting on the couch huddled up together. Edward was holding Kristen in a blanket. Carlisle and Ericka were sitting on the love seat, Ericka's head on his shoulder. And then me and Phil were standing by the window, watching as everyone got comfortable.
The night outside was even prettier when the lights of the small candles lit up the house, it made shadows dance across the ground when anyone moved. I felt like a part of the family now. Kristen was still shooting daggers with her eyes, but I didn't care at the moment. This is how my family was supposed to be, happy. Every since I was a kid, I never got to spend much time with my parents. My mom got a traveling job when I was 4 and my dad was a policeman when I was born, so I got left home with the nanny a lot.
They would always say they would be back before dinner, but they never were. By the time I was 9 I just expected them not to be home until after 12. I started to become more of an independent person once I hit 11. I would come home, do my homework, and then teach myself how to play the piano. Naturally my parents didn't know that I played piano, so I had to use the old piano in the garage to practice. It was always dark down there, but the longer I practiced down there, the more it got to be… me. I would decorate it and add pretty lights whenever I got some money for my birthday or for allowance.
Eventually I practically started living down there. I would come up for meals and such. But I did my homework downstairs and I slept downstairs. My parents eventually figured out why I spent so much time down in the garage. But, 3 years ago, when I had been "living" in the garage for 8 months, my parents decided to move. I tried to beg them to let us take the piano, but they said that they couldn't afford to buy another moving truck just for some 'stupid' piano. So I said goodbye to my piano and my decorated walls.
My parents tried to get me to like us moving, so they spoiled me. They bought me jewelry I didn't want. They bought me clothes I would never wear. They even bought me a electric keyboard. But nothing fit. Nothing felt right. But one day, when I was walking down the streets of a little shopping area, I saw it. The piano from my old house; the one I still have now. I ran into the store and asked the manager where they got it. They told me that someone had moved into a house and didn't want it so they sold it to them. I knew it, this was my piano. I bought it right away and asked if they could deliver it to my address. Ever since then I've been happy, well, mostly happy.
And now I was here. With a family that I've always dreamed of. I sat down on the window bench and put my head on Phil's shoulder. I might as well make this moment last.
Doesnt she have a sad past? XD Lol
I really am boring.. xDDD
