I'm listening to "Never Let You GO" By Justin Bieber. I know,I know,but I like this song. And yes I am making Oliver a bit out of character(at only the end-the rest he's pretty much reg Ollie)
Chapter 10
Jess POV
I made my way out of my room and down the creaky hallway slowly. Then I descended the steps. Oliver wasn't in the living room. So I just sat down on the couch and plugged in my iPod earphones and jammed to "If Everyone Cared" by Nickelback. I couldn't hear anything over the music so I was surprised when after half the song was over and I stood to find Oliver standing behind the couch. I just stared at him for a second. Then I pulled out my earphones and turned my iPod off and said,"Hey."
Oliver just sort of acknowledged me with a nod. I was tired of pretending to be just a nice country girl. My sarcasm side had been caged for too long,however I had wanted to be nice just for initially meeting them and getting used to them. So now I gave my normal side permission to come out. But I was still trying to hold about half of it back. Oliver moved to sit in his armchair. ANd I turned toward him,and asked:
"Yo,were you friggin serious?" Oliver looked at me like I had magically grown a second head,"Serious about what?" "The fact that I'm gonna have to actually here with you for at least a couple years." Oliver looked like he might growl,so I had to say,"Are you gonna seriously growl? Like Jacob Black?" And all I got was a confused stare and,"Where is this new you coming from?" With a bit of sarcasm in it.
I answered seriously,"The whole nice girl thing-sure I can do that. But not the whole fully nice thing. I am me,and so I am very sarcastic. Okay? And I can-I can be like the nicest person ever. But I'm not gonna put on a fascade that isn't me. Okay? I just-listen am I seriously gonna have to stay here with you for a few years?" And Oliver,with a raised eyebrow,said,"Yes. And believe me,I am not happy about the arangement either."
I let out a small breath,"Yeah,well. I don't think you got the bad end of the stick there,man." I grinned,joking around. And Oliver just looked at me,"Are you positive you aren't bi-polar." I made my eyes go big and my smile just widened by at least a mile,"Nope. But I think it'd be cool. But see,I'm totally awsome if I'm not ticked. Or pretending. And shouldn't cousins or whatever we are be friends-by the way,what are we?
Oliver tilted his head and thought for a moment,"No idea. Perhaps cousins. Or I could be your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather?" This time I tilted my head and mused,"Wouldn't it be wicked to know?"
So it was one hour after that,that I had my laptop pulled out,and Oliver had some of his old family items and books and documents out. We were searching through all these things Oliver had and whenever he came across some possible relation to his self I did some researching to see if they were related to us and how. Usually they were just related to Oliver. Then eventually we found where one guy was related to both of us.
I knew this because I had the laptop and was doing the relation stuff(Oliver just found me the names to search)but Oliver didn't. And I hesitated. I tried to attempt to go on and figure out exactly what we were to each other,but there were so many generations,I couldn't. I showed Oliver my find and he quickly and simply said,"So I am your great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. Just two greats less than what I guessed."
Now I was kinda wishing I hadn't persuaded him to see how we were related. I said a bit weakly,"Hey papaw..." Oliver smirked. "Never would've thought a vampire was my lot-of-greats papaw,"I muttered.
I started to say what I was really feeling. Instead,I stood up and started toward the stairs. I made it to the bottom of them,and then a cold hand closed around my wrist. I turned and found Oliver standing there. He said,"Something wrong? I see it on your face." I started to say no,but then just told him the truth,"Yeah,I just... I miss home. It's so beautiful there, It's just wonderful." I must've gotton a faraway look in my eye,because in my mind all I saw was home. But then I shook my head and turned back to Oliver. "Just miss everything about it."
I kinda felt sad,and couldn't help it but a little of my sadness leaked through onto my expression. I pulled my wrist back from Oliver's loose grip and was surprised when he hugged me. What the frig! He's gonna bite me! No,he's not. Wait,there's a hippie hugging me! Ahhh! I thought, and at the last bit I nearly starting laughing. But all I could do was hug him back.
ANd for once,I didn't care whatever had crawled up Oliver's butt and died centuries ago,I was just happy that I actually was able to get a hug. Right when I needed it most. I hugged him back,and turned my head to the side and closed my eyes. It was so comforting. "It's gonna be hard being away from my family and friends,"I said,stil holding onto Oliver. But then I let go and backed up,and smiled a genuine smile at him. "Thanks for the hug..." And I wasn't sure what to call him,so I went with,"papaw." ANd I went to my room. WHil ehe stood there at the foor of the stairs.
