Sorry it took so damn long! Bad me!
Sorry its kind of short!
Chap 7: Sweet KissesI had seen Alex a lot lately. He had always been so mean to me but lately he was trying really hard to be extra sweet. It was in a weird Alex sort of way but it was still sweet. Everyone had seamed to find someone special lately. Even if relationships were just starting they still counted. Hiro and Lillie, Timber and Taylor, Masira and Drake, and Alex and me. I could tell Carol was not going to let Masira and Drake go with out a fight though. That girl was always so bossy. She may be Lilies cousin but she sure didn't act like her at times.
"Sapphire." I heard someone call my name as my dog barked playfully as she bounced off the wall next to the window. Someone was outside?
"Who is it?" I asked sleepily. It was about 10 and I was about ready to go to sleep.
"Its Alex can you come outside for a little while?" I looked out the window at him. I was hardly dressed in my tank top and pajama bottoms.
"Give me a second." I said shutting the curtains and pulling on some jeans and a sweatshirt. I combed my hair really quick and sneaking out the door to my room. "Sorry Midnight you can't come." I told my dog trying to calm her down. "Shush you'll wake everyone up."
"What are you doing?" My little brother Alvin said walking out of his room rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"Nothing Alvin go to sleep." I said trying to push the dog into my room and get Alvin into going back to bed.
"Were are you going sissy I want to come to!" He fused in his usual childish way.
"No, go to bed before you wake mom and dad." I said as I finally shut the dog in my room. She then stared to wine and scratch on the door with her paw. I was about to pull my hair out at this point. Alvin started to walk back to bed after I promised to take him somewhere tomorrow. "Good night sissy." Alvin said sweetly. Why couldn't little brothers be that nice all the time? I thought as I finally got out the door to see Alex.
"What in the hell are you guys doing!" Carol screeched at Drake and me. She came over and ripped my hand away from his.
"Carol stop!" Drake said grabbing her by the shoulders.
"You would rather have her then me! Carol said now starting to cry. Long wet tears ran down her cheeks. I almost felt bad for her, almost.
"Carol I never wanted you ok! I'm sorry but I just don't feel that way about you!" Carol then started to cry harder.
"You broke my heart Drake. How can you do that after how much I liked you! I love you!"
"I'm sorry but I don't love you Carol. I love Masira! I'm sorry theirs nothing I can do." Carol then started to run away. Drake just stood there and looked at me.
"you… you… love me." I asked a little shell-shocked. Did he mean what he just said?
"I really do. Yes. Does that sound dumb?" He asked not looking at me. It was starting to sprinkle as the rain hit his brown hair and ran down his bright red cheeks.
"No… I love you to drake. I really do." He was now looking me right in the eye. It was scary. It was really scary. He loved me even if I was really frail and fragile. He returned the feelings I had been keeping for so long. I started to feel drowsy thought and the cold was getting to me. I really didn't care. He came over and took my hand. Kissed me softly on the lips. My first kiss was so wonderful. He leaned in closer and kissed deeper this time my lips with his, soft and pleasant. I was so happy tell my world suddenly got pitch black all I remember after that is falling to the cold hard ground and Drake yelling Masira!
Lillie and me walked home and I knew I had to tell her that I had an illness. She couldn't go on without knowing that the real me was very sick but gradually getting better. The air up here really was better and I was feeling healthier but I knew that this was going to take a long time to fully recover. I might never get all the way better.
"Lillie can I tell you about something?" I asked as she leaned her head on my shoulder.
"Um hm." She said nodding and smiling.
"Well… it kinda of…"
"What's the matter Hiro?" Lillie asked looking a little concerned. Her long black hair was in her big green eyes and brushing up against her pail chilled cheeks.
"I…" The words wouldn't come. It was hard… really hard to tell someone that you cared for something that could ruin the relationship. "I have this illness Lillie… I may never be cured… Its not contagious or anything. That's why I moved here." Lillie now looked very concerned and it scared me a little.
"Hiro that awful! Why were you afraid of telling me? Now maybe I can help! My grandma has a illness to. I don't know what it is though." She was trying to make me feel better. The look on her face was still happy but I could tell that I had scared her a little. We finally got to her house and I leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. She then moved her head and I kissed her lips. I was happy and so was she and that was the sign I was looking for that told me that she really loved me like I loved her. We stood there a long time.
"Good night." I said softly.
"Good night." She said smiling. Then everything seamed right at that moment perfect.
Nicholaus Brewster sat by his window looking out as his new home. He was new here and had missed the first 2 weeks of school. He was ready to see what this new life in mineral town would bring him. He was going to have to make new friends and that was not something he was good at. He had only talked to two people his age in town so far. Two red headed twins. The girl was happy and outgoing and the boy was quiet and rude. The girl was very pretty and he seamed to like here but not like that. She was nice and all but Nick didn't really think of her in that way. His long black hair and deep green eyes that reflected the stars in the sky saw a boy and a girl outside.
"Why are they around at this hour?" He said to himself looking at his clock. It was about 2 in the morning and Nick had woken when the rain started to sprinkle on the window. He had seen the girl before but not talked to her and the boy he had never seen. Everyone had made friends here already. What if they didn't like him? He wasn't really the worrying type but he didn't want to be alone at this school. He side and went back to bed as the rain started to pore on the window.
"Alex what are you doing here?" Sapphire asked smiling at him sleepily.
"What took you so long?" He said a little annoyed as it started to sprinkle and the rain hit his nice think hair. I had never noticed how similar we looked. The blue in his black hair was so similar to mine.
"My little brother and my dog… so why did you come all the way over here?" I asked now looking into his deep black eyes. He was always looking so grumpy and mean but right now he almost looked like a puppy dog out in the rain. Me and Alex had been very good friends for the past week but I knew we both wanted more then that you could tell by the look he was giving me just now…
