Rebekah
My eyes snapped open as thundering footsteps could be heard. My door slammed open and before I can get up letting the intruder know that I'm well - up, jumped on me.
"Happy Birthday!" I rolled over pushing my best friend off. Hearing a thump letting me know she is now off me, I lower the comforter to see Karla with a glare on her face. I laughed which only seem to make her angrier. I started screaming seeing her get up. I felt her small hands grab my ankles.
"No!" I yelled. As I felt her start to pull we both heard footsteps coming down the hall and my mother filled the doorway taking in the scene. "Help?"
"Nope." She said laughing walking away.
"Mom!" I heard her come back.
"I told you to get up hours ago Bekah." I'm still being pulled from the bed. "Karla is here to get you and your friend Simon is on his way." I was busy holding the sides of my bed to see my mom at the side of my bed holding my phone with the meassage.
Simon
On my way, get up lazy!
3pm
Not realizing I let go to take my phone from her, I was pulled from the bed with a loud thump.
"Ow Kay!" My mom just laughed walking away picking up the laundry basket she left at the door. "And your no help!" Again she just laughed. Hearing Kay laughing I threw my comforter over her and got up.
"Hey!" Pulling it off her head she placed it back on my bed before sitting on it. "So today's your eighteenth birthday, are you excited?" She asked me.
Shrugging I said. "Eh, just another year closer to my death." She took my pillow and whack me with it.
"I'm serious." I just shrugged again walking into my closet getting clothes out. "What's this?" I watched as she picked up the gift my mom gave me earlier before I left for class. Medical school is kicking my ass. If your wondering I want to become a doctor.
"It's a stele." I took it from her. "Mom says it's an heirloom."
"You Fray's have heirlooms?" My attention was once again grabbed by the strange symbols on the stick? "Becks?"
"I'm sorry, it's just.." I placed my clothes next to her on the bed before turning it over. "You see this, I drew this today."
"Really?" She took it back, looking.
"Yea with the sugar I was going to put in my coffee." She raised a brow. "I thought I was putting it in my cup, but instead it went all over the counter shaped as that." I pointed to the symbol.
"That's weird." She said, I nodded grabbing my clothes walking to my bathroom to get changed while the door bell rang through the apartment.
"Tell me about it."
After getting changed I met Kay out in the kitchen and as I can see, It was Luke who arrived. Grabbing their attention I called.
"What's up Luke?" I walked closer putting my stele in my pocket, not noticing the stele grabbed Luke attention.
"Hey Rebekah." He gave me a kiss on the side of my head and set a bag in front of me. "Happy birthday." I smiled going through the bag and gasped.
Luke gave me a stethoscope, where the piece you placed on a person chest has my name on it. I placed it around my neck using the piece over my heart while listening to Luke.
"Your mom told me when you are done with Medical School, that you want to go into a hospital that teaches, so I brought you this for when that time comes."
With a smile and a kiss on the check I thanked him placing it back in the bag. I turned to Kay.
"Is your boyfriend here yet?" And before she answered the front door opened and in walked Simon, placing a kiss on Kay cheek and placing her spray paint on the counter in front of her.
"What are those for?" Luke asked.
"Oh, I'm trying to get him to change the band name." Kay answered.
"Oh thank god!"
"Bekah that was rude." Jocelyn scolded.
"The band is named Champagne Enema." We all looked at Simon thinking 'really.'
With his hands up he said. "Hey! Eric wanted to call the band Ripping Lawn Chairs, we were lucky we convinced him to name it Champagne Enema." We laughed before Luke pointed to the spray paint telling us.
"Well keep the paint off the city walls please, I will arrest you."
We promised before leaving the room, and before I can fall in step with the couple my mother grabbed me into a hug.
"God you have strength of a Boa." Chocking I try to get out. "I need air, you are going to kill me." She tutted before messing with my hair saying.
"Breakfast, you me and Luke." All of us miss the glare that Kay is sending to my mother. a cold, cold glare. "Tomorrow ok ?"
Still chocking "I promise." I started squirming as Luke is telling her to let me go. "Mom, I love you and all, but I'm at that age where it's time to let go and let me make many, many mistakes that I am promising not to make."
Finally letting me go I turn to my friends and watched as Kay quickly wipe any emotion that was on her face. I asked once what was her problem with my mother. She told me 'I'm just jealous.' Kay's mom left her and her father when she was a baby. Three years after she lost her father too. I told her there's nothing to be jealous about, that I thought of her as a sister as I know my mom, Jocelyn thought of her as a daughter. I watched as a smile cross her face before suddenly she jumped on her boyfriend, my best friend Simon's back.
Java Jones
Rebekah
As the five of us. Maureen, Karla, the drummer Eric, Simon and I walked into the packed and very famous Java Jones. The three players split from us as they went to get ready to perform. Karla and I moved our way to the barista, while she ordered caramel Latte, I got a mocha with extra cinnamon. Walking away to find a seat to watch our friends, I turn to Karla.
"Do you think my mom is being a little too over protective?" I heard her sigh before turning to me.
"Becks I love you I do." I looked at her confused. "But at least you have a mom." It was my turn to sigh.
"I'm sorry, it just the random family vacations she surprises me with that I remember going to, but not what type of fun shit I've done at Luke's cabin." We stop talking as the man placed down our order and little packets of cinnamon for me, I rip one open. "I mean I love my mom I do, but it was embarrassing trying to come up with excuses as to why I couldn't go on the class trips or having Mrs. Lewis beg my mother to let me go to the park with Simon when I was six."
When all I got was silence from her I looked up to see her glancing at my coffee mug. Curious I look down to see I was once again drawing the weird symbol.
"Oh my god, I didn't realize I was doing that." I told her. Her gaze moved from my cup to me.
"Have you talked to Jocelyn about this?" I nodded. Not getting an answer she said. "And?"
Shrugging I answered. "Maybe I seen it around her the apartment." I start to think. "And then she hides herself in her room, I hear her talking, I think she calls someone, maybe Luke."
The conversation stops as Kelly the nice women who arranges your gigs after signing up for one ask everyone to give it up for the Rock Solid Pandas.
"What!?" I roll me eyes. At least the name is some what better.
Pandemonium
After Eric ditched us for his girlfriend Tammy, the one who always wore the low cut jeans that flashed her thong in high school. I still can't believe they're dating, usually Eric had a new flavor every week. My friends convinced me to join them at some club called Pandemonium. As of now Simon has parked his van and we all moved towards the back doors. After Rock Solid Panda performed we stayed for another fifteen minutes, and during those fifteen minutes Simon split his tea on his shirt.
"Why couldn't you change in the bathroom there?" I asked. I watched as Simon took his shirt off and the two ladies next to me, one who has a right to admire his rippled body.
"Because knowing your mother, I want at least an hour in this club." He held out his glasses so Karla can hold them. "If it gets too late she's calling you non-stop and you'll feel guilty and want to go home." I glared at him knowing he was right, causing him to chuckle as he caught it.
"Whatever." I respond, pouting as I glanced around the club. Out of the four, who only I can see. A woman in a pretty plum dress is being followed by a very hot blonde. Looking up at the flickering sign I ask. "Do you guys see that symbol?"
The woman paused in her step causing the blonde god to take a few steps back watching the scene. My three friends glanced up and then gave me a weird look. The sign that states Pandemonium would flash off for five seconds showing this symbol.
"Beckah I see no symbol." Maureen stated.
Glancing up again I still see the same thing. The woman whispered in the bouncers ear. While she was walking into the club, the blonde tried to move quickly so he doesn't lose her, while doing so he rudely bumped in to me.
"Um hello!" I called. "Watch where your going asshole."
The stranger stopped suddenly almost losing his balance. What weird is he looks surprised that someone can see him. He slowly with that cocky swagger walked towards me.
"You can see me?" Looking at him like he's stupid I answered him.
"Duh?" He smirked.
"You have the sight." Those words confused me even more.
"Well I can see you so that obviously means I'm not blind." I crossed my arms.
"How can I not know who you are?" Still with that smirk,but wonder on his face.
Not noticing that my three finds are looking at me like I'm cray, I scoffed. "Really? That's the best you can come up with, Blonde God?"
His smirk got even wider as he chuckled before he turned away from me when his named was called. And during that encounter there was an angry bouncer trying to get our attention. With an scowl on his face he waved us over beckoning us in. As we moved towards the entrance we were arguing about the blonde guy.
"We didn't see anyone."
"You were talking to air."
"Rebekah, what was in your latte?"
I rolled my eyes at the three as I took in the club. The air was smoky I guess it was because of the fog. And everyone was dancing, some even looked like they were having sex right there on the dance floor. Moving further into the building I suddenly feel drawn in to the atmosphere, I suddenly wanted to start dancing.
"I'm going to get us some drinks!" Simon shouted over the very loud music. I nodded letting him know I heard him.
"I'm going with you."
While Maureen and Simon went off to get those drinks I didn't see Kayla trying to hide herself in the crowd of bodies. I'm to enamored with the club and without realizing it I'm swaying to the music and feeling giddy like as if I'm high. While I'm swaying I catch purple out of the corner of my eye and look over. The women smirked and mouthed to 'Come to me.' But what I wasn't noticing was she wasn't asking me but the blonde guy. The blonde god slowly moved his way in the crowd. Like he was stalking, looking for his prey.
We both move our way to the curtain, but I'm knocked out of my spell as a handsome man who seems to have cat eyes. He was talking, well more like threatening two men with weird markings on their neck shaped as a circle which was bright red. Standing there I looked at cat eyes and said.
"Love the eyes, cool contacts." And I continue making my way to the blonde while leaving the three men to get back to what they were doing.
As I got closer to the huge thick curtains I hear voices. Walking through I see the women surrounded. There's a tall raven haired man who's standing next to a woman who looks just like him, I guess they're siblings. His sister seems to have a mean look on her face while pulling what looks like a whip that's across the woman's neck, silencing the girl who was hissing? And there's the blonde I was bantering with out front of the club. He reached behind him and suddenly I notice he's carrying a beautiful blade.
The symbols I've been drawing all day and more were glowing a dull blue.
