Ah, Valentines Day, the day of love when everyone is supposed to be all happy and cheery..."supposed to" being the key words in that sentence. I know my mom is a pretty much naturally cynical person, but c'mon! It's Valentines Day. I've been going out of my way to try and make her smile today but all I get in return is some harsh words that I don't think I deserved -_- So....writers block lately...onto the story...
'When we got Max and Fang were already back. Max asked me how I felt and I told her I was Fine. That was partly true. We ate dinner and I climbed up the steps muttering that I was turning in early. The days were shorter now. I walked stiffly to my bed and pulled the thick cover up to my neck. I curled up. I couldn't sleep...again. Soon, or at least, what seemed like soon, I heard Nudge, Max, and Angel walk up and go into their rooms. I turned and faced the wall. After a long time, I got up and switched from jogging pants to blue jeans. I grabbed my jacket off the corner of my bed and walked downstairs.
I walked outside and shivered. Then, I felt something familiar. I looked up and saw snowflakes falling. I looked down and saw frost on the ground. I reached out my hand and saw a delicate snowflake land on it before it melted. I climbed a tree and sat on one of it's thick branches. I leaned my head back on the trunk. I shivered. I stayed out for as long as I could.
Then I saw the sun starting to come up on the horizon. I jumped down and walked inside. I still wasn't tired. I walked into the living room and sat on the couch. I kicked off my shoes and brought my legs up and settled against the arm of the couch. My hair fell across my back and shoulders. I heard footsteps coming down the steps. I looked back and saw Fang.
"What's up?" he asked and sat on the other end of the couch.
"Nothing really. It's snowing outside." I replied.
He raised one eyebrow, "Sleepless night?" he guessed.
"Yeah. Didn't sleep at all. I went outside until I saw the sun start to come up then I came in."
"Tired at all?"
"Not one bit."
We both looked back when we realized someone had come down the stairs. It was Jake. I was happy now. He came in and sat down by me. I was even happier.
"Hey." I greeted him.
He dipped his head a little in acknowledgment.
Then Iggy and Angel came down. Jake got up and went outside. Iggy sat down were Jake was and Angel walked into another room.
Fang looked over then said to Iggy, "I'll leave you and your girlfriend alone." and then he got up and followed Jake.
My head snapped up at him, "Wha?! I'm not-You..." I stuttered.
"He looked over his shoulder, "Yeah. Right." and smoothly walked out.
Iggy and I sat in awkward silence and then Angel's voice popped in my head, Don't worry Falcon. I'm coming!
Thanks Angel.
Angel walked in the room and asked me to come outside with her. I followed her out. But when we got out there she looked up at me and said, "You know, you Iggy would be cute together."
My jaw dropped and I looked down at her.
"But you love Jake. Who would also look cute with you."
"Angel-"
"You have to pick one or the other you know. I know your starting to like Iggy."
"I-"
"So. Which one?"
"Angel, you shouldn't read other people's thoughts like that." I said.
"You didn't answer the question" she said irritably.
"Er...well...I really do love Jake but...I do also like Iggy. But not as much."
"So, Jake?"
"Er....Yeah....I guess...." I said uneasily.
"Well, Jake see's you as a really good friend right now. But sometimes he starts to like you more than that. Like when you go for walks with him or when you fall asleep in the forest in his arms like you have a couple times already." Then she continued, "If you really want him to love you back, you should ask him to go on walks with you. He should realize that he does love you. And not like a friend or sister either. So go on." Then -she turned me around and gave me a little push.
"Angel-"
"Don't argue with me Falcon! Just do it!" she snapped.
"Angel, listen, I'll do it some other time but not now, okay?"
"Fine..." she growled.
The rest of the day was average. Nothing really happened.
I was able to sleepthis time. And I slept good. I didn't wake up in the middle of the night even once.
But what I did wake up to was yelling. A lot of yelling.
I sat up in bed and looked around. It was from the hallway. It was Iggy. All I heard was- I can...something..
I trotted out into the hallway to see what was going on. Iggy looked over in my direction and smiled.
"Oh my God! Falcon!"
"Uh..yeah. Wait, how do you know it's me?"
"Falcon I can see again!"
My jaw dropped. "Seriously?!"
"Seriously!"
I ran over and hugged him. I felt him stiffen for a moment but then he hugged me back. His head rested on mine and I could feel his breath on the top of my head.
Then I heard someone clear their throat behind us. I let go of Iggy and turned around and saw Jake.
"What's going on?" he asked slowly.
"Iggy can see!" I said.
"That's great!" he said back with a smile.
Then everybody was out celebrating with Iggy. Our conclusion? It just took a while for his eyes to heal. Was that right? Don't know. And quite frankly, we don't care either.
Okay then....that was a bit...sudden....but me and my co-writer Maddie made it so anyway. Sorry for the short chapter but writers block has taken control of me...along with my overly-cynical mother...well, I'm gonna go up and pretend to sleep so I can get some peace on this so-called awesome day that's supposed to be love-filled. Scoffs. Well, hopefully tomorrow will be better. I'll see if my friend will text me back...Peace Out y'all.... (p.s-Review?)
