Chapter 4

*What happened… why do I smell rum* taking another whiff I slowly started to open my eyes to see Aaron sitting above me. Sitting up quickly I continue to stare ay him confused. "Why are you in my bed…what happened to me?"

"oh nothing much. You just caught sight of me casting magic… and kinda fainted."

"Magic.. how were you casting magic and that still doesn't answer my question why you are in my bed." I looked Aaron up and down blushing slightly. "and in your boxers none the less do you know how to were pants."

"pants? What are those." Aaron said with a grin. "And I was casting magic through the energy Channeled from the earth and my guitar. Oh and I'm in your bed trying to wake you up because its in the afternoon."

"This coming from the person who slept all day yesterday… and Pants are objects created so I wouldn't have to see you naked. Any way… can… can you show me what you meant, about magic anyway." I asked shyly. " I wont faint this time."

"well as long as you wont faint this time I guess I can show you. First thing you do is concentrate, feel the flow of the magic through the earth then you just pull upon a bit of that and shape and form it in you head then you just push it outward and … viola." Aaron then held out his palm that held a perfect blue diamond. "…you casted magic. Why don't you give it a shot. Never know if you can do it until you try.

Nodding softly I closed my eyes and concentrated feeling a soft pulse thrumming beneath me. I mentally reached out and pull a small amount towards me. I though of the energy forming in the shape of a flickering ball. Doing as Aaron told me I pushed the ball of energy outward towards my hand. Slowly opening my eyes to see a burning ball of flame in my hand. "Oh…my…" staring at it wide eyed.

"Hmmm, looks like you're a fire attribute." Aaron looked at the ball again. "and you have some damn good concentration and projection ability to get it your first try. Congratulations, you're a mage."

"Oh… my… This is awesome!" feeling my self starting to get excited and my control beginning to slip and before I could stop it the ball shot from my hand to hit Aaron in the leg lighting his boxers a blaze. "Oh Shit."

"Hot. Hot. Hot." Aaron said repeatedly as he pat his leg to put out the flames. Covering my eyes from embarrassment I sat there listening to see if he was ok. "well not what I thought you would form in your mind but what ever works. You wouldn't happen to have a spare pair of boxers would you."

"I didn't' mean it. Are you oh…Kay" Removing my hands from my face I caught my first glimpse of Aaron standing there completely nude in all his glory. As I raked my eyes along his body my face burned with a blush and my hands shot to my face to stop a nose bleed pointing towards my dresser. " I have a pair of black silk ones in there."

As I watched Aaron walk to my dresser I caught a glimpse of the back

side.*Definitely as nice as the front…What The Fuck.* "Umm, Alex, I don't think these would fit me." Aaron pulls out a pair of my light blue pantie and turns to look at me my blush deepens and my nose gushed harder. "What are you trying to get me to wear you weird, weird, girl."

Collapsing to the bed and closing my eyes so I don't see anything else. " There in the back of the drawer and stop playing with my panties do you really want to see them that badly?"

"Hmm, oh there they are." Slipping the boxers on he places the panties back in the drawer, turning to face me he smirked. "And I would rather see the pair you have on now." He winked.

"NOT Likely… Get Out OF MY Room and put some damn Clothes on…" I said then adding under my breath. "not that it's a bad sight." Standing up I head to my dresser to start getting my cloths for the day.

After dressing into a light blue sun dress I sat on my bed. "What a day…" thinking about it for a few minutes I grabbed my keyboard and head out my window again to sit under the cherry tree. " I need to relax a little" I said turning on the board.

Starting with a few key to get myself used to the board again I settled on a song in my head, on I hadn't played in a long time. Starting the tune I remembered why I learned to play this song.

~The lights go out all around me

One last candle to keep out the night

And then the darkness surrounds me

I know I'm alive but I feel like I've died

And all that's left is to accept that it's over

My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made

I try to keep warm but I just grow colder

I feel like I'm slipping away

After all this has passed, I still will remain

After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain

Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again

And there'll be beauty from pain

You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me

The best I can do is just get through the day

When life before is only a memory

I'll wonder why God lets me walk through this place

And though I can't understand why this happened

I know that I will when I look back someday

And see how you've brought beauty from ashes

And made me as gold purified through these flames

After all this has passed, I still will remain

After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain

Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again

And there'll be beauty from pain

You will bring beauty from my pain

Here I am at the end of me (at the end of me)

Tryin' to hold to what I can't see (to what I can't see)

I forgot how to hope

This night's been so long

I cling to Your promise

There will be a dawn

After all this has passed, I still will remain

After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain

Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again

And there'll be beauty from pain

You will bring beauty from my pain~

As I hit the last notes to the song a flash back of my parents faces pop into my head. *why did I decide to play this song.*I sat there under the cherry tree a few more minutes before a shock hit me more then the song and made me jump from my spot dropping my keyboard.

"That was beautiful. I didn't know you played, or sang for that matter." Turning around I saw Aaron standing there staring at me with a surprised look on his face.

"what are you doing here?" I said thinking to myself * was he there the entire time* looking away slightly embarrassed.

"well, I was looking for you to see if you wanted to train some more and realized that with all my traveling I don't know what the date is today." He smiled

"Ummm… I believe its May Second…Why?"

"Shit… come on we are going out."

"why" I asked again confused

"We missed my birthday I say we get drunk." Grabbing my arm he started to drag me around my house silently following, a feeling settling in my stomach that something big was going to happen.

Four hours Later…

"Aaron will you please sit down before you break my house" watching him doing lopsided flips in my living room was making me dizzy. *how much have I drunk* looking around at all the bottles scattered around the floor hearing a thud I laugh at Aaron as he was laughing at himself. "Ha ha… Alex… I wanna hear you sing again."

"I guess… you lucky I'm drunk." Pulling my keyboard out and putting it on my lap i decide on a song we can both play.

~No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in

But we feel like we do when we make fun of him

Cause you want to belong do you go along?

Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong

It's not like you hate him or want him to die

But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide

Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side

Any kindness from you might have saved his life

[Tag:]

Heroes are made when you make a choice

[Chorus:]

You could be a hero

Heroes do what's right

You could be a hero

You might save a life

You could be a hero, You could join the fight

For what's right for what's right for what's right

[Verse:]

No one talks to her, she feels so alone

She's in too much pain to survive on her own

The hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife

She writes on her arm, wants to give up her life

Each day she goes on is a day that she is brave,

Fighting the lie that giving up is the way,

Each moment of courage her own life she saves

When she throws the pills out a hero is made

[Tag]

[Chorus]

[Verse:]

No one talks to him about how he lives

He thinks that the choices he makes are just his

Doesn't know he's a leader with the way he behaves

And others will follow the choices he's made

He lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide

His brother who wants to be him is just nine

He can do what he wants because it's his right

The choices he makes change a nine year old's life

[Chorus]

[Rap]

Little Mikey D. was the one in class who everyday got brutually harassed

This went on for years until he decided that never again would he shed another tear

So he walked through the door, grabbed a four four out of his father's dressing drawer

And said I can't take life no more

And like that life can be lost

But this ain't even about that

All of us just sat back and watched it happen

Thinkin' it's not my responsibility to solve a problem that isn't about me

This is our problem

This is just one of the daily scenarios which we choose to close our eyes

Instead of doing the right thing

If we make a choice and be the voice for those who won't speak up for themselves

How many lives would be saved, changed, rearranged

Now it's our time to pick a side

So don't keep walkin' by

Not wantin' to intervene

Cause you wanna exist and never be seen

So let's wake up and change the world

Our time is now

[Chorus]~

After the song finished I looked at him. "so I have heard you play the guitar and I have seen you fight with it, but how good are you really?" with a smirk that meant trouble he started to play. Suddenly Aaron played a long string of beautiful cords along the neck of his guitar. I watched him as he slowly closed his eyes looking greatly as if he could feel the emotion of each note. His hands looking like a blur as his fingers moved with a speed I've never seen before.

*I wonder what else he can do…* before he could finish his set I gently put my

Keyboard to the side and got onto my hands and knees and crawled my way the two foot over to him. When I stopped and sat back on my knees and stared at him for a second. Before I could think about it any longer, I closed my eyes and leaned forward and softly placed my lips against his. The kiss was innocent and gentle, after a few seconds Aaron removed his hand from the neck of the guitar and placed it on my cheek, rubbing it with his thumb, as he then worked it back into my hair deepening the kiss.

Realizing the removal of my instrument I climbed my way onto his lap trying to get closer. Feeling his tongue slid along my bottom lip I parted them slightly, groaning as he invaded my mouth. Getting my first taste of him I felt the need to breath coming on me. I pulled away and slowly open my eyes to look into his. Many emotions were showing in them as we continue to stare at one another. Confusion, excitement, and lust all visible.

Looking a little harder a smirk appeared on his face leaning forward he bent his head down to my neck and began to nibble, forcing a moan from my throat. Stopping shortly he whispered into my ear. "well, My little firecracker it looks like your eyes turn red when your excited." Nibbling up my neck more I wrap my around his shoulders with another moan. "I Like It." Removing his hand from my hair how mover to my lower back pulling me closer to his chest, I could feel his hardness pressed against my waiting center, as his other hand made its way up the front of my dress to cup my soft, firm breast.

Arching my back as he used his thumb and pointer to pinch and twist my left nipple softly, I rub my self harder against him. Hearing a low groan pass his lips from the contact, I open my eyes to see the look of pleasure pass over his face. With a smirk I began to pull his shirt off, my nails dragging gently up his back in the process hearing that moan again. After the shirt was out of the way I leaned down to take his ear lobe into my mouth nipping and sucking at the tender flesh, and dragged my nails back down his skin.

This time with a growl he brought his hand to the neck of my pale blue button up dress and ripped all the buttons off down to my waist. Eyeing my skin like a hungry man he pushed my dress and bra down to my waist, instantly taking my breast into his mouth and making me gasp.

Grasping at his long hair I brought his face closer to me needing him to continue, or harder, unsure of which. "Need you Aaron…room…now" feeling him grab my ass and lift I wrap my arms and legs around him. Running my tongue down his neck I began to suck on his collar bone whip biting it gently. Feeling him growl deep in his throat again I smile.

Once to the bedroom he threw me onto my bed and looked me up and down. Reaching his hand out Aaron slowly pulled the rest of my clothing off leaving me naked for his eyes to see. A slow smile crawling a crossed his face he removed his pants. Closing my eyes half way I lean up on one elbow and give him a come hither look and watched as he began to lower his self onto me.

Warmth, is what I awoke to the next morning, warmth and comfort. Cuddling deeper into the warmth before realizing the warmth was coming from a hard, but soft body lying next to me, a completely naked body to be exact, and a arm wrapping around my waist.

"best…Birthday… ever!" looking up I saw a satisfied smirk on Aarons face. Blushing fiercely I sat up and cocked my fist back and clocked him in the jam knocking him off my bed.

"Ass" rolling over so my back was facing him I curled up with a pillow hiding my red face.

"OWW…what it was. I got drunk, had fun, and lost my virginity to a cute girl." Rolling back over I stare at him dumbfounded.

"Virgin…Seriously. Do you really think that lines gonna work on me when I'm sober."

"I'm dead serious I may flirt but that doesn't mean I slept with every girl I met… and you… little fire cracker, I never took for a screamer so don't judge a book by its cover." Embarrassed to no end I threw two pillows one after the other. Aaron ducked to avoid the first one.

"Missed…Ow" he said as the second hit him in the face. Looking closer at his face as he rubbed his nose and glared at me I finally noticed the differences in his appearance.

"Aaron… What happened to your hair… and your eye?"

"What?" standing up Aaron walked over to my bedroom mirror and looked at himself while I stared up his naked back side. "Damn It their back to normal, I really likes it the other way." Running a hand through his now long brown hair he continued to stare at himself in the mirror.

"Normal, that's you real hair?"

"Yeah all the dimensional travel changed them."

"Oh" looking at him slightly surprised. " Speaking of which, are you going to teach me how to use this power you so kindly awakened in me" he then turned to look towards me not thinking about it.

" Yeah, you have a long couple of months ahead of you sweetheart." My hands shot to my face as blood gushed from my fingers and my eyes grew wide. Collapsing to back to the bed I shut my eyes and continues to hold my nose. Aaron looked down at himself and smirked. "Oh maybe I should put some cloths on, and I really need to break you of that especially after what we did last night."

Turning on heal Aaron walked out of my room and I groaned. Opening my eyes I stare at the ceiling above my bed for a minute. "Alex have you seen my boxers?" looking around for them I sighed looking up again. *Now, how did they get there?* I laughed slightly as I continued to stare at my fan where his boxers were innocently dangling waiting for help.
