His Lucky Green Eyes I am def going to write this genre again :)
chpt 25
The man nods, his eyes sad. "Aye, lad."
I feel as though all the breath has been sucked out of me.
I gasp for air, quickly becoming light headed.
Soft, strong hands stroke my face and I focus on his green eyes.
Everything else disappears.
"Baby," he whispers.
I can feel my whole body tremble as I let out a strangled cry.
I can't process any more, it's all too much.
So I run.
I run along the sand until my lungs are burning and my legs are screaming.
Falling to my knees, I cry out, slamming my hands into the wet sand.
I sob.
I sob until all my tears are gone, and I have nothing left inside me.
Feeling a presence behind me, I turn quickly to find my grandfather sat on the rocks.
"I'm sorry," he whispers.
"I know."
"I never knew you. Your mother was so young when I had to leave."
"Are you?"
He nods. "Yes…and Jasper, are you the only male child?"
"Yes."
"So you're the storm I've been feeling," he chuckles.
"Storm?"
"When are you twenty-one, Jasper? I'm guessing by the air vibrating around you, it's soon?"
"This weekend, why, what's going to happen to me?" I pull myself up, sitting beside him.
"The changing," he sighs. "I left a note for your grandmother to give Gracie if she ever had a son," he stands and begins pacing.
"Dammit!" he shouts.
