Ebony was the first to wake up an hour later surprised to find herself in Warrens bed with his arms wrapped around her. At first she was freaked out then she remembered what had happened the fight , Will catching her, and finally the pain. This made her sit straight up, the last time the pain like had happened was when she first found out about her wings.
" Everything ok" Warren asked sitting up next to her
" My wings" Ebony simply said
" What about them" Warren asked
Ebony couldn't explain it so after crawling over Warren she got to the floor , she pulled off her shirt leaving her in the tank top she had warn under it. Closing her eyes she concentrated on the wings in her back, she almost cried out when they finally did come out because it hurt it felt like something ripping through her skin. From behind her Warren gasped at the wings not only because they had grown back, but because instead of their angelic white they where now a blood red.
' What" Ebony said at Warrens gasp
" Your wings" Warren said
" They cam back" Ebony exclaimed
" Yeah and their red" Warren said
" No what are you talking about their white" Ebony said
" No their blood red" Warren said
Quickly walking to the bathroom Ebony gasped when she saw that he was correct and her wings weren't only red but blood red. Warren walked into the bathroom and gently touched them, they weren't pure as they used to be but they where still beautiful. Turning around to face him, they were only a few inches apart.
" Thank you" Ebony said
" I told you just let me in and I'll heal you" Warren said
" I know its just I've been broken so many times…" Ebony started but was stopped as Warren
gently placed a finger on her lips
" Then let me be the one to pick up the pieces, I won't let you fall angel" Warren said
Slowly his lips headed for her Ebony's head was telling her to back away but her heart was saying to stay to be healed. He was only inches away and she closed her eyes, she could feel his breath on her face. The kiss was interrupted by the ringing of a door bell, Warren let out a frustrated growl.
" That would be Layla and Will" he said
" O" Ebony said backing away she looked down at what she was wearing.
Warren walked downstairs to be greeted by Layla and Will, who had come with pizza and some other bags.
"Since our Parents were gone I figured I would bring some food" Will said
" Thanks" Warren said
" How is she" Layla asked
" She's up" Warren said
" Really shouldn't she be laying down" Will asked
" Thanks for the concern but I'm ok" Ebony said walking down the stairs
" That's great" Layla said
" Yeah so um you brought pizza" Ebony said trying to change the subject
" Um I'll grab some plates Ebony will you get the cups" Warren said
When they where all done setting everything up everyone dug into the food.
" So the home coming dance is coming up I think it's going to be Friday " Layla said starting a
conversation
" Yeah its going to be a costume dance" Will said
" Aww are you two going to match" Warren said sarcastically
" Maybe, what about you Ebony are you going to go" Layla said
" Um I'm not really a dance person so I don't think so" Ebony said
" You should go its going to be awesome" Will said
" I'll think about it" Ebony said
" What about you" Layla asked Warren
" Well now that you have Stronghold and I don't have to make him jealous I don't see a reason to
go" Warren said
" Sounds like an interesting story do tell" Ebony said
"Well…" And Layla told the story of what happened last year
" Stupid boys" Ebony muttered
" Yup" Layla agreed
" So um about that project…" Ebony started
" I have some books with me if you want to start" Layla said excitedly
" Ok" Ebony said
" Boys get the dishes" Layla said with a smirk
They just groaned and nodded their heads and while the girls went into the living room the boys grabbed the plaits and headed into the kitchen.
" You ok man you looked like you where going to kill someone when you left the school" Will
asked
" Yeah it's just … I don't know how to explain it" Warren said
" You like her and she's hurt rite now and all you want to do is hold her and hopefully not shatter
her yourself" Will said
" Ok how the hell did you figure that out" Warren said
" Layla explained it to me" Will said
" Figures" Warren said with a small smile
" So what are you going to do about it" Will asked
" I don't know, its so hard to get her to let me in" Warren said
" That means once you are in it will be so much more worth it" Will said
" When did you turn into a poet" Warren asked
" I read it on a fountain cookie once" Will said
" I have nothing to say to that" Warren said shaking his head
" Well I have some of the books we need so do you want to start where we left off" Will asked
" Yeah" Warren said
