No reviewers today! Oh well :(
This one gets very sad...
Chapter 7
Sadest Christmas Ever
I hear the sounds of Avril Lavigne on the TV. She's singing Losing My Grip. I have to agree with this song, everything isn't real anymore. The RedHeads going back to normal? Lindsay's losing her hair thanks to her chemo, Sage is still ill since her body is so young. Joan of Arc is still not talking and Lana is on the computer with Roze.
Liza pokes my side, I roll over and look at her. "Yes?" She smiles and shakes her head. "Never mind..." She looks back to the TV.
"Hello girls..." Luke says entering with his ohh-so-ever-lovely christmas hat. I roll over and roll my eyes at him. Sage jumps up and hugs him. "Hi Luke!" She squeals, 'eww, 13 years old crushing on a 17 year old...'
He smiles at her and sit beside me, he moves my hair away from my face. "How ya feeling today?" I give a small moan, and look at the pad he has in hand. I stuck out my arm for my very own hospital vampire to suck some blood away. I let out a small moan, as the needle goes in. I hear the pad beep softly, Luke gave a low laugh.
"You're lucky aren't you? You're at a normal safe number. No inulsin today, but you'll need to eat something." Lindsay truns off the TV and leans to him.
"How are you getting home?" Luke stood and but the needle in the grabage. "Mom's meeting us, we'll take the subway half way and she'll met us at the mall." Lana and Roze trun to him.
"Were going home for Christmas. Our Mom's are friends so it'll be easy for us." Luke nodded and Sage let's out a big sigh. "I have to stay here, Lynne is staying here with me since she's Jewish." Roze truns away from the comupter.
"I'm going to Mexico. My mom wants a tan, instead of snow." I smile and look to Luke. "And me?" I say, as my voice kills. Luke makes a face and walks out the door. I leap out of bed and follow him down the hall.
"Luke! I asked you a question!" Luke just kept walking, he stopped at the elevator. I grabbed his arm and held tight. "I want out for chirstmas. Please..." I saw saddness go over his eyes, I let og of his arm and watched him leave me in the hallway.
"DAMN IT!" I yelled punching the wall, then I realized that it was cement. 'damn... i think i re-broke them!' I wall back down the hall sucking the blood off f my nails. I hear giggling in the room, I walk in and look at all the girls.
"What's so funny?" I ask Lindsay, she winks at me and points to the closet. "There's something in there for you, I think you'll like it." I let out a groan and open it slowly. "It better not be a pie in the face like in Oct!" I trun, my heart jumps into my throat. I see a redhead looking right at me.
"Jinx!" she screams wrapping her arms around me. I look at her werid, and pull away. "Noaha... how did you get here? All the way to the Bronx?" She sighed and walked out of the closet. "Long story, but it involes Yue, Yoko and Yumi." I look down. I didn't want to talk or hear about them.
"We'll all see you tomorrow!" I nod and flop unto my bed. 'argh... this isn't the christms i wanted!'
xXx
Me, Lindsay, Lana, Lynne, Roze, Liza, Sage and Beth all sat outside waiting for our rides. Lana and Roze were waiting for the same cab, Liza was waiting for her mom. Sage and Lynne would go back inside after we all left, Lindsay was waiting for her brother to hurry up.
A black limo pulled up, Noaha waves from inside of it. I stand and hug Lindsay goodbye, Beth stands and shoves a red box in my hands.
"Merry X-Mas, Jinx." I look down at it. "Is it poision?" I ask with a smile, Beth shakes her head. "No. Not today." I run to the limo and slide in, I look at the girls waving at me.
"Bye... all of you..." We weren't A's or B's anymore, we were a family. A helping loving family. I just hope nothing would tear us a part during this time.
xXx
"January!" My grandmother hugs me, I guess know one told her that I am JINX? I smile at her as she looks to Noaha, then Cody. They smile and walk up the stairs. "Jan! Go upstairs and get dressed for the furneal, yes?" I nod and walk up the stairs after Noaha.
My room is the same way as I left it a couple years ago, a bunny laid on my bed all dusty. I sit and look around, 'so many happy times in the bronx with my grandmother. the other grandmother lives in slat lake...' I stand and go to the closet and put the black dress that I'm going to wear tomorrow away.
"My finally goodbyes." I mubbled, looking out the window. 'i wish i said sorry to yumi...' I laid on my bed and looked at the celing. "I hope everyone is okay."
"Jinx!" Noaha yelled from downstairs, I sit up fast. "What?" "Carter's here!" I look away. 'okay, i'll say sorry to yumi but i'm never going to love any boy ever again!' "January!" I jump out of my bed and run downstairs. Carter and this bubbly blonde smiled at me.
"Jinx, all of us are going to have tea. Do you want some?" I thought about my blood levels, Luke tested me before I left. I was normal most of the time nowadays. I nod and walk into the den, my grandmother hands some red tea to me. I take one sip and look to Noaha, Cody put his arm around her. She smiled and leaned closer to him. 'she got the guy,'
The Twin's Grandmother walks in holding a bag, she sits and takes a sip of tea. Carter sits next to the blonde, the blonde smiles at all of us. I fix my vest, since I'm still in my uniform.
"We are here to mourn the deaths of Yumi, Yoko my granddaughters and Yune the granddaughter of Thoru, which could not be here with us. Tomorrow at the furneal, we will read passes and sing songs form the hymns. Also a Yumi and Yoko said that they would want their best friend, Jinx Black to say something speical."
I look up, my grandmother jumps up. "There is no Jinx Black in our family!" She shouts, I stand. "Gran. I'm Jinx. I changed my name to Jinx after my family died." She sits back down, having herself jump up and yell was wrong in our family. 'never stopped me.' I sit back down and take a sip from my tea.
Carter stands holding the blonde's hand. "I want to bring joy back into everyone's life." 'yawn,' I think as I take another sip. "I'm old enough to marry, and I finally asked someone to safe my life with me," 'beside his hand.' "I've asked Lousie here, to marry me." I choke on my tea and send it flying across the room. The warm liqiud shots up my nose and onto my uniform.
"Mrs. Black?" Lousie asked, I look at my uniform. "Are you okay?" 'no! the tea is a new way of pissing myself! what the fuck do you think?' "I. Am. Fine." I say griddingmy teeth and walked out of the room. "I have to check my blood, then I'll go to bed." I said stomping up the stairs.
xXx
I said at the back of the church, Lousie and Carter sat at the front. Everyone esle sat together in the back.
I sigh softly, and lean on the door. 'i don't want to do this... it's gonna hust so much... i know i'm gonna cry.' Then I hear clicking, I knew that style of running. I close my eyes and duck.
Kikki goes flying over my head, I grab the bottom of her yellow dress. She looks at me with a smile. I look over and see Renee walking up, behind her is Corina. Zoey and Bridgette is in the back with Elliot and Wesley.
"Why are you here?" I ask Renee. The lines between us were REALLY thin. She waves me off. "We came to pay our repects. Since they were your friends, Zoey suggested it. And plus there's another Mew Mew in this city, causing damage." I nod and look to the Pastor as he gets up to the Altar. The grils walk off and go sit with the rest.
I look at everyone. Loved one, friends, family... everyone was here for them. I feel tears start to fill up the ol' well.
"And now, we'll hear a song from January Black." 'damn first name. what a second! i'm january!' I nod and walk up the stairs.
I take a deep breath. My voice cracked and I hung my head down and cried. 'get it back together! damn it! don't cry, not for no one, not even fro yourself! stop it!'
The Pastor touches my back. "You don't have to sing." I pull away, and glare at him. "I want to sing. It's for Yumi didn't even get to say I forgive her! She cheated on Yuki with my boyfriend! I didn't forgive her!" I stop and take a deep breath.
"How can I say something about a friends that back stabbed me? Those heartless people are dead now! And I haven't even go the chance to say goodbye!!!!" I crack up again, and fall to the carpet.
xXx
I laid in my bed, I didn't care what day it was. I heard a clock go off, but I didn't care. I roll over in my bed, it's so cold out. I hear giggling outside my door and "shh-ing" 'man this is going to a surpize.' I think as I trun towards the door.
"Hello?" The door bangs open and I see Noaha, and Lousie holding snow balls. "What are you guys planing?" They pull back holding the balls arm lenght away from every other.
"MERRY CHIRSTMAS JINX!" They scream throwing snowballs at me. I scream and run after them. Noaha runs down the stairs and out the front door. I run and scream after her. "I'll kill you! I will, don't think I won't!?!?" Noaha jumps over a snowman. I hit the snowman and roll. We both laugh, then I begin to shiver. Noaha laughes since we both are shivering.
"Let's go back. It's Chirstmas!" She screams running back to the house. I open the door and see Carter and Lousie kissing under missetoe. 'eww...' I slam the front door, Carter looks at me with a smile. "Merry Christmas Jinx." I smile and walk into the kicthen.
The phone rings, I ran and put it up. "Hello? Black's House." I said playing with the cord. "Jinx!" Zoey yells at me. "We need your help! There's a monster at our hotel! She calls herself the Phoneix !!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!" I drop the phone. My grandmother truns to me.
"Who was it?" I dig into my PJ's pockets. My powerpendent looking right at me. I smile, 'finally...' I run to the front door and grab my heels.
"I'm going out!" I scream, wipping the front door open. I bolted to a car, I stop and look at it. 'all the girls at the clinic got our driver- no time to think just jump in!' I think, truning the gas on. I put it into gear, backed out of the drive way and drove away from the house.
xXx
I slam the front door open, and run in. I could feel fire all around me, I stop and look into the room. The Phoneix had come and gone, I lean on the doorframe. The room was 'killed' as I would put it. The Mew Mew's stood and looked around. Brigdette and Kikki screamed.
"She took our powerpendents!" Renee sat up and looked at her's in her hand. "She didn't get mine." Corina laid on the ground, Zoey leaned over her. "She still has hers! I have mine, how 'bout you Jinx?" I look at mine in my hand. "She hasn't got me yet." Corina comes to and looks around.
"Oh no! What are we going to do?" I shurg and slide down the door. "All I know, is that I'm in deep shit. I stole my grandmother's jeep, left during christmas and broke the phone. I'll be surpized if I even has a Christmas." I look to Renee she brushed herself off.
"You better go home. We'll tell Elliot and Wesley what happened." I nod and make my way back to the truck. I stop short since I see the Phoneix on my hood.
"Hello Midnight Cat. I was thinking, since I live in the Bronxs now. Maybe we could have a battle." I point at her, "Yes! After you attacked my team mates!" She flies up and points her long sword at me.
"It's on then. Not know but soon, I'll get you when you don't think it will happen." I glare up to her. I could feel my eyes go red, my body changes to my cat form.
"It's on." I hiss to her, as she flies away.
