Haha! I am back!!
Holly woke up snug in her bed. She rolled over a little to notice that she wasn't in her room after all. She noticed a small sound of typing from across the room and looked up to see a figure sitting in the chair by the computer. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, making Artemis turn around.
"So you're awake?" He said in a question form, though it wasn't really a question, "I have some news for you..."
"Could you tell me why I'm in YOUR bed first," She replied curling into a ball and keeping the covers tight. He walked over to her and sat down.
"I ended up reading tell five in the morning and walked around for a couple of minutes before picking you up, because my legs were numb. Then I felt like talking to you in private later when you woke up because I didn't want my parents to know," Artemis sighed and added, "Plus, I couldn't help but look over and see your pretty face."
She rolled her eyes and got up some, "So what are you doing on the computer?"
"Looking up somethings for a project me and Foaly are working on," He replied lamely, "Just this and that stuff. Also, I somehow got an E-mail for you. Don't worry I didn't open it. I assume someone underground got my E-mail somehow or it's just Foaly or Trouble."
Holly got up and sat down in his chair. She started to open it but a million password boxes popped out and blocked her out, "What the heck!"
She stood up and he sat down, easily typing in a couple of letters and numbers into a couple of boxes, making them go away. He smirked and laughed, "You should learn not to mess with my computer."
She stuck her tounge out and sat down on top of him, which surprised him, "Open it."
He crossed his arms, "What was that?"
"PLEASE!" She pleaded him and then gave him the puppy face. He laughed and opened up his account. He then opened up her mail and scrolled down. There was a picture of Holly. She looked a little younger and a whole lot different. For one, she was actually wearing make-up, a lot. Dark eyeliner, dark eyeshadow, mascara, and dark lipstick. She was wearing black baggy pants and a tight black shirt, with black jewelry to match.
"What the heck!" Came Artemis's mock reply of Holly's. He scrolled down a little more. Written in small cursive letters was. 'Did you miss me?'
Holly jumped up from his lap walked across the room, "Holly?"
She took deep breathes and didn't say anything so Artemis got up and came to her. He slightly touched her shoulder and she trembled. He then wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her. She turned around and held on to him.
"What's wrong?" He asked making her look up at him.
"So you don't know then?" Holly asked him, starting to lose balance on her own feet. He moved her over to the bed and sat her down, "He's my ex-boyfriend. A real jerk you know, before I was in the LEP I was really like a goth person. Like extremely. I swear I thought he was the perfect boyfriend. Then, I found out that he had killed someone."
"How?" Artemis asked, slightly amazed.
"I watched him do it," Holly stutured, "He saw me and told me if I told anyone he'd kill me to. I did and he was arrested. That's when I really decided that I was going to be a cop."
"I'm sorry," He whispered, hugging her tightly, "If there was anything I could do, I'd..."
"You've done so much for me already," She interupted, "Without you being here I would have fallen apart a lot faster than I am."
"I don't understand how he is out of jail," Artemis said.
"It was a while ago so his sentence must be over," Holly said, her crying was stopping but she was shaking, "He's going to make my life not worth living."
"As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you," Artemis said softly. In the back of his head he thought, 'What the heck is wrong with me. I'm acting like a slobbering puppy.' He looked into Holly's eyes and sighed, 'I guess it is worth it though."
He smiled at her and she asked, "What?"
"I was just thinking about you," He replied.
"Well, what else would you be thinking of? I am sitting in front of you, balling my eyes out," She said, giving a forced laugh.
He wiped the dried tears from her eyes and smiled, "Let's go do something fun today. Just you and me okay."
She nodded and stood up, "I'll go get ready."
"I'll inform my parents and evily, mentally, protective, bodyguard Dom," He replied making her laugh as she walked out the door.
She got to her room and changed, putting her hair in a messy ponytail. She looked in the mirror and frowned. She then smirked at the next thought that passed into her head and ran to bathroom with some things.
Artemis sat at the bottom of the stairs and waited for Holly to come down. She was usually fast but, she must be to depressed to be hyper and upbeat. He wasn't going to complain that she was being slow. Something hit the back of his head and he saw something go past him. He looked up to see... Holly?
"Do you like?" Holly smirked and turned around. She was wearing dark make-up and dark clothes. Just regular black jeans with a black top, that had the pink panther in a martini glass. On it, it said on the prowl.
Artemis laughed and replied, "Well, it does make you look hot."
"Oh, please," Holly laughed and immitated Chix, "I would look good if I was thrown all the way to Timbucktu and then kicked back."
"Where did you come up with that one?" Artemis asked as they walked out the door.
"Chix Verbal," Holly smiled, "He can say the sweetest things if you can figure out what they all mean."
They laughed and got in the car, riding mostly in silence to the mall. When they reached the mall, it was mayhem. All Artemis had to do was step out of the car and they were surrounded. Everyone wanted a piece of him. Holly grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the circle that got even bigger as they ran away.
"You'd think they'd notice by now," Holly commented as they sat down with slushies to watch the crowd. They were gathering around nothing and now paparatzi was trying to get in there to.
"I think that the people inside know and are trying to get out but the people on the outside don't care what they say, because they want me," Artemis said taking a drink of his red slushie.
Holly almost chocked on her white one, "You are so full of yourself!"
"Yes I am, but only because there are many people who adore me. That's why I like you. You are the only girl that doesn't melt and love me, the minute you see me," Artemis went on, "I mean you're more confident in yourself then any other girl I know would be when she's around me."
"Aren't I lucky?" She muttered sarcastically and took another sip. He leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"Yes you are," Right before he kissed her on the cheek. Veronica walked past and screamed, "YOU WHORE!"
She dived for a surprised Holly who moved out of the way. Veronica easily turned and jumped on her. The crowd was on the move. Veronica took hands full of hair and started to pull. Holly flipped Veronica over so that she was on top, sufficiantly punching her in the face. She was about to hit her again when Artemis grabbed her fist and pulled her from the floor.
The crowd was there as Veronica got up, "Do you believe this girl Artemis? All she is trying to do is hurt you."
He rolled his eyes at her and she took a threatening step towards her. Holly punched her again making her fall to the floor. Artemis pulled her back before she decided to do any more damage, "Who the hell e-mails a person fifty times a day... pffft... or messes with a cop!"
The crowd was asking many questions but Holly could barely make out the fact that Artemis was pulling her to the car. He had to put her in her seat and then go to his side. He drove away just as the crowd was arriving. He was driving down the road, over the speed limit, laughing.
"I can not believe you both just did that," He laughed, as he tried to slow his breathing, "That wasn't expected."
He noticed Holly's silence and looked at her. Her hand was placed on the back of her head, "My head's not doing to well."
"Are you bleeding?" He asked, pulling the car over to the side of the road. Past a couple of bushes.
She pulled her hand in front of herself. It was covered with red liquid and she started to lose focus on her surrounding, "What do you think?...Dang she pushes hard."
He pulled out napkins from the glove compartment and handed them to her, "We'll be home in a minute."
She put the napkins behind her head and then completely lost all thoughts.
"I always thought that Veronica was such a nice girl," Holly heard Angeline say.
"Well, I think Holly hurt Veronica more than Veronica hurt her," Artemis's father replied. Holly finally opened her eyes and saw he was sitting in the corner. Artemis was inches away from her face.
"Do you think you could get any closer?" She asked and he laughed. His parents got up and walked over to the bed.
"I think I could," He replied, giving her a wink and leaning back. Holly's head was throbbing and the light was hurting her eyes.
"I think we should leave you to sleep some more," Angeline said, noticing how she kept closing her eyes. She took Artemis and started to the door.
"But Mother..." He whined as she dragged him out of the room. Holly laughed to herself, she'd never heard Artemis whine before. It was different and nice. After a while she drifted back to sleep.
Holly jumped off the ledge and landed on her feet on the ground. She ran across the landing with bullets flying past her. They all missed but one, which hit her in the shoulder right before she turned the corner. She grabbed her shoulder and heard the sound of someone landing on the ground.
She heard shoes clicking on the tile coming closer, so she ran. She turned another corner to come face to face with Carmen. She still heard the sound coming towards them slowely. Holly looked at Carmen and then opened a door pushing her inside. She turned around right before he came around the corner.
"You can run all you want," He said sharply, "but you can't get away."
"That's what you think!" She shouted and took off again. Bullets rained down on her but he missed again. She ran as fast as she could and then got to a door. She opened it and went inside. There was steps leading down into what looked like a cellar. She heard him laugh and ran down the steps.
She heard the door being kicked in above her and turned to look, but she tripped and fell of the end of the stairs. She landed in a puddle of something wet. She pulled her hand up and it was covered in blood. She looked up...
Holly screamed and shot up out of bed. She was barely breathing and started to hyperventlate. Artemis ran into the room first, his parents following. He jumped on the bed next to her, "Holly, are you okay?"
She started to take deep breathes and looked up at him, he looked frightened. She leaned her head on his shoulder and kept taking deep breathes. His mother gave his father a look and his father just shrugged but smiled. His parents left the room to leave the Butlers, Artemis, and Holly.
Juliet shoved Artemis off the bed, almost knocking Holly off as well, "Tell me what's the matter."
She turned around and glared at them, "Me and Holly are going to talk, so leave!"
Artemis's mouth dropped open and he stood up to protest, "But I..."
"LEAVE!" She shouted and they fled the room, fearing Juliet's wrath, "Are you okay?"
"Will you people please stop asking me that freaking question?" Holly groaned sitting up as slowly as possible.
"Well, we wouldn't have to, if you didn't get in fights with phychotic, wannabe girlfriends of Artemis Fowl and let them almost break your skull open," Juliet rammbled making Holly giggle.
"You have issues," Holly commented and leaned her back against the wall.
"Thank you, I try," She replied, getting up and curtsying. Holly just rolled her eyes, "I just don't understand you. How can a girl that is like extremely tough have nightmares all the time but, she seems perfectly fine when she talks to everyone else?"
"I just don't show how much it really affects me for the sake of my friends," Holly said in a soft voice, "No one really knows what keeps happening to me. I've told Foaly my dreams and he has the same ideas as I do."
"What did you just dream about now?" Juliet asked.
"I'm not sure," Holly replied, laying her head on the wall, "I know I was being chased and I know I fell down stairs, but I couldn't see who I was looking at. I don't know who I was talking to and I couldn't tell who's blood I was in."
"Blood!" Juliet exclaimed. Holly only nodded and Juliet thought for a minute, "Maybe you shouldn't just talk to me or just talk to Foaly. I mean I'm just a girlfriend so I will go crazy about it and Foaly will act like a phychologist. I think you should talk to someone who can figure this out without acting like it's a big deal."
"And who were you thinking?" Holly asked even though she knew what Juliet was thinking.
"Artemis of course," Juliet rolled her eyes at Holly.
"Figures..." Holly started mumbling things under her breath.
"I mean you two have become really close in the last couple of days and I think he could really help you," Juliet said happily.
"Will you go get him for me?" She asked and smiled sweetly.
"Okay," Juliet acted as if she was being forced to do something she really didn't want to do. After a few minutes Artemis came into the room.
"You missed me?" He smirked and sat on the bed next to her.
"No, I just wanted to ask you a question," She replied with a blank expression on her face.
Artemis was confused but asked, "What is it?"
"Do you think Veronica is in pain right now? I mean I think I broke her nose," Holly said and then a wide grin broke acrossed her face.
Artemis nodded, "You do hit hard, if I need to remind you?"
"I know but she is just so annoying I wondered if the pain was annoyed and went away," She laughed and he raised an eyebrow, "You're right it sounded funnier in my head."
He laughed and hugged her, "I'm just glad you're okay."
She hugged him back and laid her head on his shoulder, "I thought you were emotionless."
He let go and leaned back, "I told you it's my siblings! They seriously messed with my head!"
"Yeah, okay, whatever, blame it on the three year olds," Holly laughed and he crossed his arms, pouting.
"It is them, I mean what else could it be," He asked.
"You have a point," Holly replied.
"Of course you changed me to, so you're partially blamed," Artemis said softly, giving her a perfect smile. She almost melted. She just sat there and nodded at him. He lifted her chin with a finger and brought her face closer to his. His lips then lightly touched hers and she shivered. He kissed her a little harder when his mother stepped in the room.
"ARTEMIS FOWL JUNIOR!" She shrieked, grabbing him by the arm and dragging him out of the room. Holly was speechless and just sat there. After a few minutes passed Juliet burst into the room, laughing so hard that she fell on the floor. Holly crossed her arms and glared at her.
"What's so funny?" She asked.
Juliet tried, really she did but the laughter just kept coming. Finally after leaving Holly sitting there for another five minutes or so she spoke through her tears, "Angeline is giving Artemis a verbal beating right now. I mean she is extremely mad."
"It's all my fault," Holly groaned, covering her face.
"Ok," Juliet explained, jumping up next to her on the bed, "His mom has waited forever for him to get a girlfriend or like a girl more than just a friend. Now, he likes you and doesn't even let his mother know. OF COURSE SHE'S MAD! Not at you though at him. I mean he said you two were just friends so she wants to know every single detail of the relationship, so don't plan on talking to Artemis any time soon."
"Oh my gosh," Holly groaned and Juliet laughed again.
"You should have seen the look on his face as his mother dragged him down the hallway," Juliet laughed, "It was priceless. If only I had my camera."
"You should have seen his face when his mother ripped him off the bed," Holly laughed along, "I've never seen him so terrified."
"Why would you keep something like this from your mother and I, Artemis? You know that your mother is obsess..." Artemis father was saying when Angeline hit him.
"I've been waiting since you were sixteen to have a girlfriend. The least you could do was tell me you were interested in her," Angeline said frowning.
"I didn't want anyone to interfere and I haven't really asked Holly out," Artemis started.
"You like her though right?" His mother asked.
Artemis squirmed under his parents gazed, 'If I hadn't have met Holly I wouldn't be so lame.' "Well, yeah."
His father crossed his arms and asked, "Does she like you back?"
Angeline hit him, "Well, duh, she likes him or else she wouldn't have kissed him back."
"Well technically, she didn't kiss me back," Artemis was cut off again.
"But does she like you?" His mother asked quickly.
"Well, I think so," Artemis said quickly starting to get confused, "Can you just hold on a minute and let me think?"
"I'll go ask her," She started to go up the stairs quickly.
"Wait... WHAT!" Artemis shouted running after her. She was already at the top of the stairs.
"Would you go out with Artemis if he asked you?" Juliet asked.
"I... don't know," Holly stuttured, "I'm mean I'm definitally attracted to him but, to be his girlfriend."
"Come on you two are like this close to making out with each other," She said, using her thumb and forefinger to make a very small circle, "And that is all you can say."
Holly laughed, "I can't help it. He's just so, grr.."
Juliet rolled her eyes and pushed Holly almost off the bed as Angeline ran in, "Do you like my son, Holly?"
Holly's mouth dropped open and Juliet fell on the floor in giggles. Holly found her composure fast and replied, "Yes, I do."
Angeline smiled and nodded as Artemis ran into the door. He looked between the two of them and his mother laughed. She kissed him on the forehead and left, "What did she just do?"
Holly and Juliet looked between one another, laughing, "Nothing."
He frowned, "I swear, I know she did something."
"Your mental," Juliet laughed, knocking him on the head and leaving them alone, again!
Holly pushed her feet over the edge of the bed, "Don't worry about you mother. She just doesn't understand you."
"Finally, someone notices," He joked as she stood up, standing in front of him. He looked away from her and she smiled to herself for almost no reason. He looked at her to see her smiling and then looked at his feet.
"I was wondering if I could ask you a question, but it might seem weird if I ask you and you don't know how to take it, so I don't know how to say it," Artemis said fast and looked up at Holly again. She looked confused and didn't reply. He sighed, "Will you go to the dance with me... at my school...with me..."
She nodded and smiled at him even wider, "YOU WILL!!"
"Yeah," Holly laughed and bit her lip. He hugged her and then backed away fast and awkwardly. They both looked away and Holly went to go to the bathroom.
"Hey Holly," He said before she reached the door, "Be careful with your head."
She nodded and went inside, "And Holly."
She stopped and came out, "They need more bands for are dance and you can sign up...if you want... cause you're a pretty good singer... I was just thinking...you might want to..."
"I'd love to," She smiled, "It gives me a chance to sing without embarassing myself in front of all Haven."
He smiled and left the room.
I hope you enjoyed that. I have the most awesome things planned and I even have an idea for another story. But I will only do one story at a time so you have to wait... Sorry.
