This is the story of Nevaeh. I thought it was important and it should be in here so it is in a really random place, but it is here because the story is about Kandy and Squid, but it is important to know what goes on with their kids. I hope you like it! Please review!
Nevaeh's story:
Nevaeh was God's gift to Squid and Kandy. Squid thanked God everyday for giving her life. When she was born she should not have survived, but something happened that night and she was saved. Nevaeh is a beautiful soft-spoken shy girl. Her hair was brown just like her father and her eyes were shocking green. When she smiled she lit up the room and she had a presence even though she did not talk a lot. She inherited her father's silence and she had a bit of mystery to her.
She spoke to her mother and father, but when it came to strangers she became silent. People would try to get her to talk, but Squid would always stop them and stick up for his daughter. He would always say the same thing.
"She is a thinker! She is too busy thinking. Her head is so full of ideas that she doesn't have time to talk. She is brilliant!"
And then they would always say the same thing.
"How can you tell when she doesn't talk?"
"Her eyes."
Everyone would always try to persuade him to say more, but he would always stop them there and change the subject. He was right though, she was a thinker. She thought about everything. She thought about the moon, the stars, cars, food, animals, and anything that she didn't understand. She had a passion for learning and she loved going to work with her dad. Squid had gotten a few promotions when she was still young and so by the time she was seven he was a full blown Marine Biologist. He worked during the day and studied marine life. He knew tons of things about anything that lived in the water. She would stare at her dad with wide eyes as he explained why water is blue, and why puffer fish get so big.
Nevaeh was also a writer like her mother. When she was fourteen she would write poetry and short stories. She would never let anyone read them though. She said it was her soul on paper and she wasn't ready for everyone to read her soul. She would write about things that she didn't know how to say any other way. She was a quiet girl and didn't find satisfaction in talking about her problems, so she wrote them down instead.
She was different from the moment she was born. She smiled when she was only one day old. Babies can't smile at that age, but she did. But people didn't know she was different in so many ways, they just thought she was different. Just one of those girls who don't talk and are too shy to say anything, but they were wrong. Nevaeh could have said things if she wanted to, but she didn't have anything to say. Sure she had friends and she talked to them, but even they only knew half the things she though. She was fine with spending time alone in her room thinking.
When she was younger she thought about things that concerned her; like why lots of food she hated was green. 'Dose the color green just taste bad?' She wanted to know everything, and as she got older this habit stayed with her, only it had evolved from complex questions about the earth and the sky to things no one could give her the answers to; boys. Magazines tried to tell her the answers, but everything they told her was only half true and half lie. Sure guys like a girl that is confident, but dose that mean that any self-doubt makes you unattractive? Nevaeh was a quiet girl, and some guys found this attractive, but she had no interest in dating; until Pablo Andale came into her life.
Pablo was out going, sweet, and a little cocky. Nevaeh had no idea what was drawing herself to him, but she found her self lying in bed at night and seeing his face. She was a junior in high school and she had never been on a date. It's not that she couldn't get one. She was beautiful and every single guy thought she was gorgeous. She was the kind of girl that could walk around the mall with no make-up and every guy would stop to look. When the family went out to dinner waitresses would stop by to compliment Kandy and Squid on how beautiful their daughter was. She had no problem getting the attention of the guys, but that was all insignificant to her. There were things so much bigger than crushes and kissing. There was life its self. She happy being single…until Pablo.
Pablo was the kind of boy that could walk into a room and get the attention of every girl. He was cute, but he was a talker. He knew just the right thing to say at all times. He had a little bit of a bad-boy edge, but at heart he was sweet, thoughtful and genuine as a good religious boy that was brought up by his ex-nun mother. He knew that the ladies loved him and this gave him a little bit of over confidence at times, but as quickly as it came it went. He had a good head on his shoulders and came from a good family. They were not rich, but they had everything they needed.
Pablo noticed Nevaeh the first day of school freshman year. The first thing he noticed was her looks, and the second was her mystery. He would spend hours trying to figure out why such a beautiful girl was single and seemed to have no interest in any boy. He had a crush on her, but he was afraid to talk to her. He had no problem talking to girls, but when it came to Nevaeh things were different. He was a little scared of her. She seemed so pure and amazing. He would stare at her in class and he would think about ways to get her attention, but nothing seemed good enough and he would tell himself to forget it and as soon as she would look at him he would look away.
She thought he had no idea who she was. He had never said a word to her ever. She finally accepted the fact that she had a crush on the boy. No matter how hard she tried she didn't know what it was about him that got her attention. He was not as good looking as some of the other guys; in fact he was only cute. He had long shaggy hair and he was tall and a little gangly. She though maybe he would grow out of it as he got older, but he was always on the thin side. Every girl wanted to be his girlfriend and most of them had either been on a date with him, or hooked up with him. He got every girl he wanted and they all wanted him so he got a lot of action. Normally this would have bothered Nevaeh, but she didn't care. He was different. She could tell he had a good soul and that is all that mattered to her.
February brought snow and love. Valentine's Day was coming up and everyone was getting excited for the annual formal Valentine's Day dance. Nevaeh had never gone, even though she had many offers. She always found a reason to say no. When ever this time of year rolled by she wrote more than normal. She had no idea how beautiful she was so she had no idea why she was being asked out by boys all the time. This year was no excuse, but instead of the frustrated tone her poetry had this year it was a tone full of longing and wonder.
When I talk most hear silence
I am really saying a lot even though no one hears.
You talk all the time
Yet hardly anyone listens
If I said a word would you notice me?
If I was like the other girls would you adore me?
I have wondered what you really see in them, but I never find an answer
They are all the same, so that just is what you like.
I know why things work the way they do,
But I still don't know what is wrong with you.
Why are you so different?
Why do you catch my eye?
I have better things to do than think about a guy.
I try to get you from my mind, but nothing works
Every night you come in and out of my thoughts
And every night I try to force you from my brain
I am not in love, I am just insane.
What would it take for you to stare?
What would it take for you to care?
What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with me?
I am just trying to live
I am just being me, but is that not enough to make you notice me?
Nevaeh finally had her first crush… which led to her first date. In the beginning of February her and Pablo were paired together to work on a math project. They spent every free period they had together and soon they were friends. Pablo took this as an excuse to talk to Nevaeh and she took this as an excuse to listen. She told him things no body else knew and they became closer than anyone else. After a week word was getting around they that liked one another, but they both had no idea what the other was feeling so they kept everything about math and hardly ever got of topic. On February eight Pablo walked Nevaeh home and finally asked her to the Valentine's Day dance.
"Nevaeh…umm…I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go to dance with me? I mean unless you already have a date…"
"Are you serious?"
"Umm…yah."
"Sure!"
Things took off from there. They began dating and spending everyday together. They were in love, but not everyone gets a fairy tale ending. The two broke up at the end of senior year. They were going to different colleges and knew it would never work. Nevaeh took the break-up hard and she cried a lot, but she continued to write and she got through it.
Jessica and Ricky:
Over the next four years Kandy and Squid had two more children. After Nevaeh they had a pair of fraternal twins named Jessica Sierra and Richard Matthew. Armpit and Zigzag are the godparents. (They are going in the order of the water truck line.)
Jessica (Kandy called her Jesse.) was almost the opposite of Nevaeh. She was also good looking, but she was not the same unforgettable beauty that Nevaeh was. She was three years younger than her older sister. She had platinum blond hair and brown eyes. Both Kandy and Squid have brown hair so when her hair stayed blond they were both surprised. She looked a lot like the other girls when you looked at her, but when you were talking to her she became just as amazing as Nevaeh. She was so out going and she was hilarious. She was friends with everyone and everyone wanted to be her best friend. She was thoughtful and kind like her mother, but she also had energy about her. She was like her mother. She made friends easily and was a social butterfly.
She loved when the other guys from D-tent would baby-sit her because she loved when they would tell her stories about her mother and father. She idolized her mom and wanted to be just like her. She was super athletic like her mother and played on the varsity team when she was in eighth grade. She admired her mother and father's love. She had many lovers but that was nothing more than lust. She wanted to fall in love like her mom and dad. She wanted someone who cared for her like Squid cared for Kandy. She would always ask her dad to tell her the story of how they met and she would always wish and hope that would happen to her.
Jessica was also a thinker like her older sister, but the difference between them was that she told everyone and anyone what she was thinking. She had severe ADHD and so her thoughts were jumbled and mixed up. Only her mom (she also is a little ADD) could understand what was going on in her daughter's mind. Jessica told her mom everything. She spent a good hour explaining her theory that love and hate are basically the same emotion.
"No mom, I'm serious! Think about it if they were really opposites then you would not be able to do them both at the same time. You can't be hot and cold at the same time it is impossible! So then if love and hate were opposite then you would not be able to love someone and also hate someone else at the same time!"
Richard (Ricky for short) was a lot like his dad, and he was also outgoing and was extremely smart, but sometimes he was just a smartass. When Jessica tried to explain her theory about love and hate to him he just told her it was stupid.
"Well, what about Luke warm water? Technically that is between ice and boiling water so it is hot and cold at the same time."
They were twins so they fought a lot, but they loved each other. Ricky made friends quickly like Jessica and he looked like his dad, so he had girls constantly all over him. This made him a little cocky, but no one ever seemed to care as long as he didn't get too over board with his self admiration. He was really good at golf, but that was the only sport he was good at. He was not as passionate about sports as his sister was. He was more into music and school. He loved learning and he had a knack at learning new instruments. He was in a band and played the guitar and sang which made his even sexier to the girls. Squid was really proud of his son.
"Yup, he has got the girls crawling all over him…he is just like his dad!"
Ricky would always beam and Kandy and the rest of the girls would just roll their eyes. Ricky was hot and he did look like his dad, but he did have the same all around good-guy quality that his dad had. He was a nice boy and he was always making people laugh, and he always tried to make the best of a bad situation. He kept Kandy and Squid on their toes. Both Ricky and Jessica was a little wild, but they always did it for fun and most of the time knew when to stop.
Kandy laid in bed next to Squid with her arms around him and her head on his chest.
"I can not believe Jessica and Ricky were drinking!"
"Squid, they're kids. It's not like we didn't drink when we were their age. They were smart enough to not drink too much and not drive. Believe me they will regret it tomorrow morning when they are hung over."
Squid sighed and shook his head.
"You're right. They are like us…that's kinda scary."
Kandy nodded.
"Really scary."
"Maybe they will grow out of it."
"Probably not."
"Maybe."
"Maybe."
Please review! I know I said I wasn't going to update for a long time, but I couldn't stay away and I figured that I still have a day or two left of freedom so I updated! I had these chapters written for a while and I had to kinda fix them up and since school is starting I might as well post them so people can read them instead of keeping them on my computer and not doing anything with them. I will try to finish my other chapters tonight or tomorrow and then I will try to post them soon. Please review and then I will put up more chapters! Thanks everyone who reviewed! (FYI Candiebabie03- I am so jealous that you start school on Thursday instead of Tuesday! Thanks for the reviews!
