Chapter 6
Normal Point of View
I sat watching Ray sleeping.
"Why were you so stupid as to go there? I know you wanted to help, but now you're just as bad as me plus you're going to have to go to school like that. I'm not sure your fan girls will be very happy," I said quietly grabbing his hand and squeezing it. "I know you wanted to help again, but still. Please don't go over again without me. I don't want anything to happen to my best friend. I know you can't hear me but just know that," I finished. I looked at him a little longer and started to sing quietly. Just as I was about to get up and leave and let go of his hand, he wouldn't let go. His hand stayed clamped around mine. I looked back and saw him smiling in his sleep. I sighed and lay down next to him. His arm moved around my waist lowly. I opened my eyes wide and stared at him. He started making that adorable noise again. I remembered what Hilary said. He only makes that noise when he's deep sleeping or having a really good dream. I wonder what he was dreaming about. I sighed and looked at him a little longer then closed my eyes. Finally welcoming the darkness.
When morning came quickly and I opened my eyes. I facing a peaceful, purple spot faced Ray. He was still sleeping and I sighed. I moved and tried to wriggle out but to no availability. I tired again and again. There was a light knock on the door and entered Hilary and Max. They stared at me. It must have been a funny sight. I was half out of bed. I was hanging in his arms. My legs were out of the bed and my arms, head and top half of my body was out of the bed as well. Max started laughing slightly and Hilary winked and they turned to go out.
"No! Wait! Help me!" I called quietly. They turned and saw me pleading. They walked over and just as I was about to be released Tyson came in screaming. Damn that loud boy, Kenny and Kai came in after to stop him but were too slow. Ray jolted upwards and yanked me with him; I was flung from the floor to lying across his lap.
"W-what?" he asked quickly
"Chill," said Max trying to stop him from having a heart attack,
"Tyson you idiot, they were sleeping!" shouted Hilary at him and hit him across his head. He whimpered and held his head.
"They?" asked Ray, obviously not realising I was there. I coughed and he looked down and saw me lying on his lap. He turned bright red and looked away.
"Yeh, that's what I thought," I teased. He paused a minute then turned to me seriously.
"Are you alright?" he asked seriously, I looked back at my feet and saw my left one slightly red.
"Yes, but what the hell were you doing going back!" I shouted at him, wriggling out of his lap and onto the floor.
"I didn't want-" he started, that was all I heard, I had crawled/ stumbled out the door and down the stairs. All my emotions from the night before were playing in my head. Anger. Guilt. Sadness. Anxiety. I was furious at him and yet couldn't be angry. I went outside with Vertigo clutched in my hand and went over to the pond. There were quiet footsteps behind me. I expected, Kai, Hilary possibly Max. No it was Tyson. I looked at him; he gave a weak smile and sat next to me. There was a long silence.
"You know he wanted to help you," he said throwing a rock in the pond.
"I know, but I was so angry, he could have been hurt." I replied quietly. He nodded.
"I've known Ray since the Bladebreakers formed, which was years ago. He's always wanted to help people. He went through a tough time. E left the White Tigers. Called a traitor by them. Then he met Salima, they were great friends but then Gideon got hold of her. He tried to help her, but she wasn't to be helped, she's now with Goki teaching beyblade. His oldest friend Mariah, who I still think was his girlfriend, they haven't talked in months but apparently she has a new boyfriend. They're still great friends even when it was a tough time." He explained, I listened slowly. The nodded in reply.
"I know, I just…..I dunno, I felt bad about him, I mean look at him, he looks horrible." I cried exasperatedly.
"You know what I think," he said smiling,
"Hm? What?" I asked,
"I think you have a thing for him an he for you," he said fgrinning, I turned bright red,
"Tyson you idiot I don't, I might think that about Hilary and you," I said grinning at him back, he also turned red,
"I dunno what you're talking about," he replied,
"Sure, I've seen the way you look t her," I said quietly, "It'll eat you inside if you don't admit it,"
"I know, but how can I tell her, she doesn't like me," he said quietly. I could tell that was a lie. Why would Hilary spend so much time and try to help him so much if she hated him.
"No she doesn't," I said trying to cheer him up.
"Yes she does, look I have to go train with dragoon, just try and forgive Ray, he means well," he said, I nodded and smiled.
"Well now I think I've seen everything, this is the other side I've seen of you Tyson, you should act like this more often," I answered, he smiled and got up. I was by myself once more but with the gaining of a friend. I soon heard another new pair of footsteps. The person shocked me by wrapping their arms around me.
"I'm sorry," he said, it was Ray behind me. I smiled and slowly nodded.
"I understand," I replied, I looked at him and saw he had put a bandage around his head instead of his yin yang head band. I smiled and absent mindedly touched the bandage. He smiled and took my hand. "Just promise me you won't go over there again," I replied,
"As long as you stay," he said, I nodded "Besides you can borrow Hilary's clothes." He added, I nodded and got up. My feet were still painful and he decided to help me. He picked me up bridal style. I giggled slightly. Man, had I changed in a matter of days, from being a tough tomboy, who wouldn't take crap from someone. To someone who would smile, giggle like a girly girl and someone who now I admit it a bigger crush on a guy. I was carried into the dojo and there was Max and Tyson sitting smiling. Hilary winked and even Kai managed a small smirk, Kenny was smiling so much it was scary.
"Hey Thea, tonight Grampa and Hero come back from America, you get to meet them," said Tyson
"That's so cool," I cheered "I'd love to meet your old man and bro," I added. They nodded and we sat down talking.
