IM OFFICIALLY A JUNIOR! WOOP WOOP! Hahahh last day was Monday so I just got to get through finals/regents and then im done for summer! AHHH! (: anyway…. Hahah on with the story!
My eyes are heavy when I first started to wake up and everything sounded like it was underwater. Everything was muffled, but it sounds like crying. It all started to become clearer, as did the crying. It sounded like a man, but a younger version of one. There were whispers all around me, like they didn't want to wake me up. Stupid people. I slowly opened my eyes with the energy that I could muster and saw, after my eyes adjusted to the light, that I was in the living room. I slowly sat up, with the help from Jacob. I smiled softly and looked around the room. The first thing that I noticed was Josiah, with a girl that looked about 19. (Thanks justiceintheworldofhp-yearight for this character!) I studied her in silence, before anyone could realize that I was awake. She has long, black hair that's in some sort of braid. Her eyes are an unusual grey color. She stands close to Josiah, like she doesn't want to be with out him. By the way that she is near him, it looks like she is in love with him. My eyes widen as the realization hits me. SHE LOVES HIM! I see Jacob giving me a curious glance. I compose myself quickly and give him the best smile that I could with all of the bandages on me. I go back to studying her. She is wearing a black and red dress with neat looking combat boots. Her wings are tight against her back, but they look like they're red that turns into a grey, like the color of steel. As I'm about to turn away, I see something shiny on her wrist. I squint my eyes to see what it is, it is a yin and yang bracelet. It looks old and worn out. I averted my gaze before anyone noticed. I looked around the room to see that there was many people here. More of my kind. That's so weird to say. My kind. HA!
I cleared my throat and saw all eyes shoot to me. I blush slightly, and go over to Carlisle to check and rewrap my face. When hes finished, he gives my shoulder a gentile squeeze and small smile. I nod back, not in the mood to smile anymore. I look around the room, scanning for Paul. I see him in the corner talking to the beautiful man from yesterday. I slowly walk over and stop when I hear that they are talking about me.
"Go talk to her dude! Tall her the truth and I'm sure that she'll forgive you. don't be such a pansy." the mystery man snickers. I interrupt before Paul could reply. I stretch out my nonwraped hand towards him.
"I'm Nicole, but a lot of people call me Nikki. What's your name?" I ask not looking into his eyes. I don't need his thought in my head too. The person grasps my hand in a firm but gentile way.
"My name is Jared. Sorry about not introducing myself earlier 'lil miss. I didn't want to intrude." he said smiling at me. I smiled back softly and reached for Paul's hand. I took it softly in mine and looked up into his green eyes.
"Can I talk to you for a minute outside? Away from everyone? It's really important." I said softly as I looked at the ground. I felt Paul put his hand under my chin and lifted my head so I was looking at him. He nodded slowly and gently pulled me outside and into the woods. We stopped about 200 yards away from every one. I found a boulder near by and sat down. He sat next to me without a word. It was silent for a few moments as I tried to gather my thoughts. I sighed before I began speaking.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you yesterday. I was just overwhelmed and frustrated that this has happened to me and my family. I NEVER wanted to be a burden to anyone here. I know I may seem cold a lot of the time, but it's because of what happened to me before I moved here. I was in the hospital for a week before I came here because of my scars. My father had abused my for a long time and one day, he just-"
I was cut off by Paul's lips on mine.
Cliffy! Hahaha. I would like to give a great thank you to justiceintheworldofhp-yearight for being the first person to create a character for this story! Also a big thank you to ALL of my reviewers! I love you all!
