I'm kind of upset because I wrote a whole chapter and it didn't save :( I'll try to re-create it. It went something like this; Hey guys, hope you had a great day! Thanks for reading and reviewing my story, you're greatly appreciated :D A little warning for you, I'm a HUGE Jix shipper, and it will happen in my story. If you guys would like me to pair two of the garde together just tell me, also, review if you want a certain curly-haired garde to be revived, or something like that, just ask!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Lorien legacies or any of its characters. On with the story :P
Six
I've been avoiding Sam. It's not that I don't like him, it's just… I think I still have feelings for John, and I'm too guilty to tell Sam.
Everyone else has gone out, Nine and Daniella went out for pizza, Five is somewhere, John and April on a walk (much to my dismay,) Marina and Ella went shopping, they asked me to come but I turned them down.
Since the unit is practically empty, it's almost impossible to avoid Sam, he's sitting on the couch watching a program. I really want something to eat, but that means I'll have to cross the living room, where Sam is.
I decide to risk it and creep past Sam, who is mesmerised by the man talking on the screen.
Just as I take a step the door bursts open. I jump and Sam turns around.
April stands in the doorway, her brown hair is pulled back in a ponytail, her cheeks pink from the cold.
"Hey," I say. "Where's John?" I question, right as these words escape my mouth John walks through the door. I can't help but notice how handsome he looks.
"Six? I didn't know you were here." Sam says.
"Um, yeah. I was here." I reply.
"Well," John says, dropping down on the couch next to Sam. "We saw Walker. She was her same old pleasant self." Says John bitterly.
"What'd she say?" I ask him, turning my eyes towards the program, then back on John.
"She told me they want to train us!" John says, shaking his head angrily.
"So? I see no problem." I reply, fixing John with a quizzical glance.
"You want them to train you? What do they know! What can they possibly teach us?" John says, shaking his head.
"Well, what are you going to do?" I ask, still not sure as to why he's so upset, normally he's calm and collected.
"I don't know, but I'll think of something." John says, his eyes glaze over, deep in thought.
John stands up and walks out the door, to the unit he shares with Five, Nine, and Sam.
"I'm going to rest," April says, smiling politely and heading to the bedrooms. Now it's just Sam and I, I immediately rack my mind to find an excuse to leave.
"So…" Sam says, smiling and blushing awkwardly. Normally I would find it cute he's so nervous, but right now I just want to leave.
"I'm going outside." I announce, standing up and brushing myself off.
"I'll come with you." Sam replies eagerly, standing up too.
"I kind of want to be alone." I say, focusing my eyes on the carpeted floor.
"Oh. Okay." Sam says, his face falls, he plops down on the couch.
I walk over to the door and turn the knob, it gives way, I step out. I walk to the boys' unit, then head inside.
John is sitting on the couch, he doesn't look up when I enter.
I sit next to him.
"Do you ever wonder about Katarina?" John asks me. I'm taken aback that he asked me this.
"Yeah, all the time." I reply, not sure why he's asking me this.
"I think about Henri a lot too. I miss him," John says.
"Why did this just suddenly come up?" I ask, unsure if I sound rude or caring.
"I don't know. When I talked to Walker I just started thinking about him." John replies. His voice is distant, distracted.
"Maybe you're upset about walker training us because you miss Henri training you." I say, looking at him with wide eyes.
"Maybe," John says. I know instantly John wants to be alone to ponder this.
"I'm going to go outside." I say. John waves at me, I exit his unit.
When I step outside I come face to face with Sam.
"I thought you wanted to be alone." He says.
"I-I was just going inside now. I'll see you at dinner." I hurry off to my unit. I can feel Sam's eyes on me, I don't turn around, but instead keep walking.
I don't like this guilt-ridden feeling at all, and it's going to come to an end.
Sorry about all the drama in this chapter. There'll be fighting soon, I promise!
