Will
It's seven pm, and the great decision that my family has come up with?
"Well, she hasn't caused us any harm, so we might as well let her stay."
Diamond was the one to come up with that idea, being the peacekeeper that she is, I'm not surprised.
I just lounge on the sofa, yawning and flicking through the channels. Yves, Phee, Zed, Sky, Xav and Crystal are outside playing baseball. Well... I say playing, when they're really just running around with a bat as their soulfinders hunt them down for a kiss and a make-out session.
I wonder who of those couples are virgins?
I shake my head, not really caring. What happens between the couples stays between the couples. They can all be prude, abstaining teenagers for all I care.
Though with the way the guys stare at the girls, and the girls constantly blush, I doubt it.
A pang of jealousy so strong that I lurch up in my seat takes hold of me. I grit my teeth and breath through it. This will get me no where.
It's the middle of summer, so Zed and Sky are getting ready to head off the college at the beginning of the school year. Finally all the boys are going to college, Xav included as he got into med school.
I try to think of the hot girl in my forensic class – Danielle – as I keep my thoughts away from soulfinders. Petite, dark hair, blue eyes, great body, we were getting pretty close before the summer, though I decided to cool things off as she goes to New York to live with her parents for holidays.
I sigh and flick Jersey Shore on. I used to hate this until Phee got me hooked on it.
Damn English chick.
I don't think I could pick a favourite of my brothers' soulfinders. Sky is sweet and cute, but scrappy. A great person if you need comforting. Phee is just the opposite. Never holding her tongue when she has an opinion, and you can bet it'll be heard. The only time she really shuts up is when her and my brother are playing tonsel tennis, or she's reading a book. Crystal is cool. Great for designing things and just as funny and sarcastic – though I'd never tell him this – as her soulfinder Xav. And Diamond is caring and out-going. A nice woman who seems a little bit like Mom, though I'd never say that to Trace. He'd kill me.
Speaking of the devil, Trace pushes my legs away and plonks himself down on the sofa with me. He kicks his legs up onto the table – as Mom is no where to be seen to tell him off – and crosses his arms over his chest, looking at the T.V.
I sigh again and turn it off. Sitting up and sensing that he wants a heat-to-heart.
Just what I need.
"So... Emerald." Trace starts talking.
"No, Trace. I'm Will." I reply sarcastically.
He shakes his head with a smile. "Not what I meant, bro. I'm talking about Emerald."
"Yeah, what about her?" The fact that her father is a mass murderer who's probably killed hundreds and hundreds of people? How, maybe he didn't just kill savants? How I shot and killed a man to save the off-spring of a mass murderer?
"She's nineteen as well, Will. And turns twenty around the time you do."
Holy shit.
Not what I was expecting.
"Yeah... and?" My heart is thumping. The world is spinning. I feel sick. Holy crap I'm going to faint. Holy crap I'm going to faint. Holy crap I'm going to faint.
"Will... she could be your soulfinder."
Shit.
I'm out.
