Eye of the Storm

Chapter Eleven: But Mommy, I LOVE HIM!!!

"Cass!!" Kara yelled, grabbing my arm and oh-so-casually leading me away from Kai and the boys, only five minutes after the bell had rung, signifying that lunch had started. And thank God too; I don't think I can stand another lecture on the black widow spider and its mating habits!!

I never mentioned that I hadn't let the boys in on the whole prank war thing, had I? Well, only Johnny knows and that's cos he has the right ammo and shit. Oh, and the fact I couldn't keep a single secret from him if my life was worth it. Save the whole Holly and Tala thing. And the fact I'm in love with him. But there is NO way in hell I'm telling him THAT!

"I was just about to have my lunch!" I complained as we had reached the safety of our huge oak tree in the corner of the school grounds.

"Lunch? Of what? Lover boy?" Kara smirked.

I sniffed. "Yeah," I admitted.

She laughed, shaking her head. "You got it bad Tate,"

"Thank you." I deadpanned.

"Anyways, Destruction Stage Three was a success," Kara informed me in her best military voice.

She should become an actress.

"Brilliant," I grinned. "What's the verdict?"

"Fashion Disaster has two weeks detention starting from tonight," Kara smirked, looking very proud of herself.

"Fashion Disaster?" I said incredulously.

The blunette shrugged. "Destiny decided to give one of our prime targets a codename,"

"Destiny is mad." I stated. "And that's wicked,"

Kara laughed.

"So, Destruction Stage Four will commence tonight." I said, raising an eyebrow at Kara.

"Yep. And the final stage will be…next Friday right?"

"Perfect. Right on my birthday,"

This is going to be so much fun!

"Willow?"

"Yeah?"

Her voice was serious now.

"Can you tell Max to meet me after school in Oliver's café?"

That question surprised me so much I almost jumped straight out of my skin. I stared at her with wide eyes.

"Umm…yeah,"

"Thanks," and with that she walked off as if she couldn't wait to get outta there.

"Kara!" I called after her.

She slowed to a stop, but didn't look back.

"Don't hurt him Kara. Please,"

She slowly nodded and ran off.

If only I had known then what was going on. Instead of way in the future from where I'm telling whoever you are my story, where it's too late to do anything.

"Kai?"

He kept on walking. Away from me.

And I was having such a nice day until lunch! Oh no, wait, I mean, til just after break. Double Biology just nearly killed me.

"Kai!!"

Finally he stopped. But he wasn't looking at me. And his face was blank and cut off, like it was with everyone he didn't know.

"You did it," he stated. It took me two seconds what he was on about.

"The shit has hit the fan," I heard Destiny whisper to Mariam. I couldn't turn to glare at them, I was too caught up with the fact Kai was very very angry with me.

"Honestly? Yeah, I did,"

"You never struck me as the jealous type Tate,"

JEALOUS!?

"Now wait a sec mister, I had nothing to be jealous about! If you had never stayed with the bimbo in the first place we wouldn't be having this conversation!" I exploded.

"Don't call her a bimbo Willow," Kai said flatly.

And then he looked at me properly. His normally gorgeous and playful auburn eyes were hard and showed no emotion. His lips were set in a grim line and the Kai I had always known was gone and buried.

Do the words oh shit spring to mind here? Cos I really don't like this. I mean, I knew that Kai wouldn't like the fact I had basically torn him and Fashion Disaster (Great. Destiny has brainwashed me) apart, but really, does he have to be as cold as he usually is to someone like Miguel Inoyez?

"Kai!" I groaned. "Okay, I'm sorry. But the words 'revenge is sweet' kinda sprung to mind when I did that!"

"Never occurred to that you had no right to do that without asking me first?" he said coolly, eyebrows raised.

"Yeah, it did occur to me but I thought you'd be glad to be rid of her!" I exclaimed, unnerved by his coldness.

I was faintly aware of everyone gathering to watch.

"Maybe, maybe not," he shrugged.

Okaaaaaay…

"Kai, don't turn all cryptic on me!" I groaned.

He stayed silent.

"Okay if you're so pissed at me then do something! Hit me for all I care!" I wailed, starting to lose all my patience.

"I don't hit girls Willow," he said quietly. "But there's always telling Johnny the truth…"

Noooo. No freaking way. Why was Kai doing this to me?

"You wouldn't dare!" I hissed at him.

He gave me a look that quite clearly said that he could and would.

"Oh no, Willow," he smirked. Finally, some emotion! "Of course I wouldn't tell Johnny you're in love with him,"

Okay, what was the point—

"WHAT?!"

"Bye Cass. See you in History," he smirked walking away. I stood gaping after him before anger began to swirl in my veins.

Cos Kai had just announced to the whole crowd standing around us. Which included Melody Summers, gossip extraordinaire, and Destiny, Mariah and Mariam.

Basically there wasn't a chance in hell that Johnny wasn't going to find out.

Why have I never noticed how great the library is? It's the best place to hide in, all full of books and shelves that create a nice big maze to lose yourself in. No wonder Holly loves it so much. It's a freaking haven.

"Willow?"

Speaking of my lovely sister…

"Hey Holly," I greeted.

"What're you doing here?" the brunette asked.

"Just researching Victorian times and how enemies would go about killing each other," I said in a false bright voice.

"And hiding from Johnny,"

My shoulders slumped. Holly knows me waaaaay too well.

"Heard huh?" I grumbled.

"Me and half the school," Holly sighed.

"And…?"

"I saw Destiny arguing with him. He's looking for you," Holly informed me.

"Why would Dest be arguing with him?" I asked curiously.

"To give you time," she said, "I'm under Kara's strict instructions to find you before Johnny does,"

"God, you'd think Johnny's an assassin and I'm his target!" I laughed sarcastically.

"Lila, stop it," Holly sighed. "I'm getting you out of here, whether you like or not,"

"No." I said stubbornly. "You think I'm gonna run away Holly? Think again. I'll have to face him some time and it might as well be today and now,"

Who am I kidding?

Kai hates me and Johnny's probably gonna dump me. This day was going soooo well too.

"Cass!" someone exclaimed and there was a thump. We looked curiously around the shelf, me hoping to God it wasn't Johnny, when I saw Fred Lewis sprawled out on the floor, having obviously fallen over a chair, with his completely identical twin brother Nick laughing his head off at him.

"Well, what d'ya know, the Lewis brothers are back," I grinned.

"Hey Cass," they greeted simultaneously.

Frederick and Nicholas Lewis are redheaded identical twins that have a knack for trouble and more detentions recorded in their file than half the year put together. That's how we met; in detention of all places. I was there cos I had punched Kane (again) and they were there for blowing up the chemistry lab. Literally! Anyways we got on well and often joined teams to pull pranks, but the last couple of months they've been away with their parents travelling Europe, lucky bastards.

"So, how was Europe?" I asked as Holly grumbled impatiently. I pointedly ignored her.

"Brilliant," grinned Fred as I pulled him up.

"Wicked," Nick said at the same time.

"But enough about us," Fred continued. "We are here to ask you something,"

"Yeah, what's this I hear about you dating Johnny huh?" Nick asked playfully, casually wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Uh…you mean the relationship that's gonna end as soon as he finds me?"

"Yeah, that one,"

"No, not that one!" Nick exclaimed, glaring at his brother. "Johnny would extremely stupid to dump someone like Cass just cos Kai went off his rocker and declared that she was in love with her boyfriend,"

I smiled at Nick's protectiveness.

"Oh yeah, sorry Cass,"

"No probs Freddie," I grinned as he narrowed his blue eyes at the nickname.

"Okay, hate to cut this LOVELY reunion but I really have to get Willow outta here," Holly suddenly cut in, grabbing my arm.

"I told you, I'm not going anywhere!" I said, wrenching my arm out of her grip and hiding behind Nick.

God did I just say that?

I want to go!! I DO!

Damn I'm soooo stupid.

"Willow…!"

"No!"

YES!!

"Don't make me get Kara!" she threatened.

"Go ahead!"

Please don't!!

"I'm warning you, Willow, if you don't go now before Johnny finds you and Kara can fix this whole mess then you'll be left to face the consequences!"

"Damnit I don't care. This is my problem not theirs!"

I do care!! Can't you just drag me out, cos my body doesn't seem to be following my brain!!

"Fine! I'll leave you with these two idiots until he finds you!" she yelled, waving her hands about as if completely pissed off and stalking off.

"Idiots?" Nick raised an eyebrow.

"Harsh," Fred commented.

"Sorry," I sighed.

"No problemo querida!" chorused the two boys. I never did mention that they're half Spanish, did I?

Hmm…half Spanish and half Irish, living in Japan. Does that strike you as weird?

"Sooo…tell us what you've been up to other than falling in love," Fred said, sitting down at one of the desks. I sat down opposite him with Nick at my side.

"Weird. I'd never thought I'd see the day Willow Tate would fall in love," Nick grinned.

"And with Johnny," Fred added.

"Always thought-"

"-you'd end up-"

"-with Kai,"

"I did mention how much you guys freak me out, right?" I grinned.

"Not since you saw us off in the airport," they said together.

I never get how they do that!

"You freak me out," I stated.

"Of course. We wouldn't be us if we didn't freak you out," Fred laughed.

"I missed you guys," I laughed.

"We missed you too Willow," they chorused.

I really do love these guys. Why couldn't I have fallen in love with Nick? Or Fred? Life would be so much easier! But nooooooo I go fall for my best friend! Uh! Why me?!

"Hey Willow," Fred suddenly turned serious which I was sure wasn't programmed into his brain. Hence why I was getting a little scared. "What would you do if Johnny walked through the door right now?"

"Um…I dunno,"

"I think you should turn around,"

I did.

And there was the Scottish redhead I had been hiding from walking through the desks straight towards me.

Nick grabbed my hand and squeezed it gently. I smiled softly at the pair of pranksters.

"See you guys," I said as Johnny finally reached us.

"Bye Willow," they said, as I silently followed my soon to be ex-boyfriend out of the library.

I knew I loved noise for a reason. I knew it.

Cos right now? Yeah, there's only silence.

Somebody kill me!!!

I sulkily kicked some leaves, and they were caught in the breeze, swirling around us.

Us. Me and Johnny. Johnny and me. Only he hasn't said one word yet, instead just leading me through the park. In short? We're bunking.

God this sucks.

Someone out there must really hate me. That, or I've done something really shitty in my past life.

IF I had a past life that is. Cos who knows what happens when you die. Oh great I'm becoming all philosophical! TALK DAMNIT JOHNNY!!

But he didn't. He was still as quiet as the grave, though gods forbid if he WAS a grave. I'd be in love with a ghost!! Uh, I think I'm going mad.

WHERE ARE WE GOING ANYWAY?!?

And then I knew. Well it was pretty obvious, since we had just arrived. It was the big cherry oak tree that we had dubbed as ours. Whenever we come to the park we always come to this tree, Cherry as I have always called it, because its branches were abnormally low and provided some shelter and privacy. That and the fact I love this freaking tree so much sometimes I'd just go up to it and hug it before sitting down with the others. Tree hugger much?

Johnny flopped down beneath it and when he saw me hesitate he reached up and pulled me down very gently.

There was about five minutes of complete silence (again!!) while we just sat with our backs against Cherry.

"Its true isn't it?"

WHAT? God, don't scare me like that!

What was he on about again? Oh yeah…

"Yeah," I said softly. Well, there's no point denying it is there? I basically hid in the library (the LIBRARY!) from him and if that doesn't say 'I love you' anymore than the actually words then I don't know what does.

Trust me, before today I've only been in the library once or twice and that was to drag Holly outta there.

Johnny was silent for a second. Well, it seemed like an hour but my watch told me it was second.

"I won't say that I love you too cos that would be lying," Johnny sighed, finally looking at me. I avoided looking into his eye cos those violet orbs are capable of unlocking things I never knew were there.

"But I don't want to go back to being just best friends either,"

Huh?

"Willow look at me," Johnny demanded softly. Well, what was I suppose to do? I looked.

And bloody hell, I nearly died.

Okay that's being really dramatic isn't it? But honestly, I felt like crying.

I told you he unlocks emotions that I never knew were there!!

"Lily…" Oh god. He only calls me that when he's being deadly serious…or well, he usually says it in the middle of sex, wait, I did not say that!! Jesus Christ I'm screwed. "Look, I might not love you today or tomorrow but maybe in a few months I will. I know that I don't want to be just best friends, because leaving you and everything we have right now would be suicide."

I looked at him hopefully. "You saying that we could still make it?" I asked, trying to keep my voice from breaking. And I wasn't doing a great job of it either.

He pulled me into a hug, kissing my hair. "I'd never leave you for anything," he whispered.

Riiiiight about then I burst into tears.

"We'll be okay, I swear it," Johnny muttered, hugging me even closer to him while I cried into his chest.

And you know what?

I believed him.

Okay I SWEAR I'm going back to prank war after this. Things are gonna get a little messy aroung here, but all I'm saying is that Amber sure doesn't like being set up...

So yeah, moving away from that...do any of you recognise where I got the characters Fred and Nick Lewis from? Well, they ARE my creation but very inflicted by a pair of fictional redheaded twins...anyone know who they are? I'll update real quick if you can tell me!

Anyways, thanx to everyone who reviewed!!

Ciao
