Papa Don't Preach

Chapter Two: Smells Like Teen Spirit

I thought I saw him when I started to walk home. Him, the one part that brought me here, my hobby. Maybe I didn't see him. I didn't see him. But I swear I did. If only I could talk to him, show him what happened when he left the beach to go home from his three-week vacation. Damn you Layana for wanting this, damn you.

"How was your day?" Mei asked me right as I got in the door. My mom was a supermodel, or at least she looked like one. Unfortunately I didn't inherit her blond hair and blue eyes. I wound up with dull brown hair I have to dye to look acceptable and brown eyes.

"Fine," I muttered under my breath. Clearly I treat Mei worse than she deserves. I don't know what it is that makes you bratty. Maybe it's being an only child and getting everything you want or possibly it's just the fact that you left your life behind, buried in the sand.

Mei looked at me, unsatisfied, but didn't say a thing. She was biting her lip, chewing on it furiously. She wants to tell me something. I can feel it in my skin, burning like a fire that just lit up.

"What is it Mei?" I bit my fingernail, a thing I only did when I was really, really nervous.

"Nothing baby, can I get you anything?" she avoided the issue and changed it on me. I hated when she did that, made me feel self centered.

"No, I'll be fine," I reached for a piece of gum that was lying on the table and waved a small goodbye to her as I clunked my huge feet up the stairs. I saw Mei had gone to work on decorating the house because paintings that weren't there before were now suddenly greeting me with their presence. Mei has the best taste in art, a lot of mermaids and dryad and such. Very her.

I threw my things in my four-post bed, throwing myself close next to them. A little too close because I felt a pen cap sharp in my ass. I reached under and tossed it on the floor, cursing silently in case Mei decided to come up by me.

My room wasn't that bad actually, looking around at it. My collage of pictures was by far my favorite thing. Pictures of home and this guy I had met there while he was on vacation. Him. He covered most of my poster board, him and his camera that never left his side. I loved taking pictures of him, so photogenic. He also took a lot of me as well, which makes me wonder if he has a collage of me like I have of him.

I got up from my soft sheets and studied the pictures more closely. His brown mop top that I always made fun of, soft brown eyes that I could just melt in my mouth and his physique just makes me wanna crumble down to him and bow.

"Excuse me, do you think you can direct me to the nearest In and Out?" he pulled up to my little red Corvette and flashed the most beautiful smile I had ever seen.

"Not from around here, eh?" I giggled, seeing that it was a red light and I had all the time in the world. "Sure, I was just about to go there, follow me."

Is it possible to fall in love that quickly? I ask myself that everyday because I did fall in love with him, hard and fast.

"Better not bring me to anywhere kinky," he joked sarcastically and took out his camera. Click. Flash. Done.

"Hey! Did I give you permission?" I laughed, feeling my face go red. Horns from the car behind me started to honk and I realized that the light had turned green. I pressed on the gas, the guy speeding his car up to mine. We glanced looks at each other and smiled. I felt my heart soften for the first time ever.

I pulled up the my favorite fast food joint slowly, checking my rear view window to make sure my mystery man was behind me. I parked my car and slowly got out. He did the same, taking another picture of me. I snatched my own camera and took on of him.

"Ha!" I giggled like a little girl. I was acting really weird, so weird that if Mei and Darshan were there they'd probably think I was sick.

"Can I buy you some food by chance?" he asked politely. I didn't want him to buy me food.

"No," I dug my foot into the ground. "But you can eat with me."

I brought my hand up to my face to feel a lake of warm tears. And that was just the beginning, not even close to what was to come. Why am I always thinking of this? I mean, what am I, some pathetic girl that can't get over the fact that the guy she thought she loved left her with no notice.

I need a life. I think that's another reason why Mei and Darshan brought me here, you know, in hopes that I will somehow get one here in canuck-a-gogo land or something.

I sucked up my tears and my sorrows and regained myself. Why cry over the past? I slowly let myself fall into my blankets and fell asleep instantly to be greeted by the dreams that have haunted me for months. Taking over me like a demon.

Blood. Everywhere. God what's happening to me?

A/N: ok- so this chapter made NO SENSE WHATSOEVER but I'm trying to build up a story here so when everything comes it's not like- What? I'd rather have you wondering now than when it's all done and dandy. By the way: thanks for reading. I love you all in a very collective way.
