Chapter 7- Relapse

I was in shock. Hunny had kissed me. His lips were still pressed against mine. My brain registered the situation and I kissed him back. I intertwined my fingers with his hair and Leaded in to him more.

I suppressed a moan creeping up my thought as his lips moved down my jaw and to my neck.

Hunny slammed in to me and I lied back on the hood of the car. His lips locked with mine again. I jumped when my phone vibrated in my pocket.

Hunny pulled away from me and pulled my phone out of my pocket. He handed it to me.

"Hello?" I sighed.

"Oh! Hi Royal! Could you come home dinner will be ready soon." It was Minka.

"Mhm." I moaned.

"Oh and your little boy friend should stay for dinner." Minka said in a cheerful voice.

"Okay, I'll be home soon." I told her and hung up. "All right, lets go." Hunny heaved him self up and held a hand out for me. I took it and he pulled me up. We got in the car and I drove down the dirt road back to my home.

Clea met us at the door.

"Royal! Royal! Royal!" She sang. "Come on, mommy made sushi."

I couldn't help but lick my lips.

Our plates were waiting for us at the table. I sat at my usual seat and Hunny sat next to me.

After eating Hunny left and I retreated to my room. I changed in to a blue tank-top and purple leggings.

I decided to get on my laptop. Odd are Emma would be on and we haven't had a video chat in a while. After sighing on and turning on my web cam, Emma requested a video chat.

"Hey Emma." I said, as soon as her face popped up on the screen. Something was different about her. Her hair. She now had blond highlights. Her Curly hair no longer complimented her eyes but, her hair was still bouncy and beautiful.

I gasped.

"You like it?" She smirked.

"Yeah!" I said with enthusiasm.

Wait. What. With enthusiasm? Shouldn't I still be sulking, or mourning my brothers death? What the hell?

I actually feel good.

I decided not to tell Emma about it yet. I'm doing well and I don't want to ruin it by talking about it.

"You changed your hair too." She said pointing at me.

I tugged on the end of a strand.

"It looks nice."

"Thanks."

My phone rang. I looked around my room following the sound of one of my favorite songs, I don't love you, By My Chemical Romance. I lifted my laptop and set it on my bed so I could answer my phone. The laptop sat in front of my as I sat Indian-style at the head of my bed. I flipped open my phone and saw a text message from Hunny. I smiled.

"Who's that?" Emma asked slyly.

"Mitsukuni." I said, pressing view later.

I figured I would take to him later when I was done talking to Emma.

"So how are things at East middle?" I asked wondering about our old school.

"Our formal dance is tomorrow actually." Emma said.

"Oh. Who are you going with? Anyone I know?"

"Yeah actually. Remember Derik Mixcain?" She said shyly.

I did remember him, he was a jock-like football obsessed boy. A classic country boy. His father owned a farm and his mother had died like mine. She was murdered, when he was a baby. He had blond hair and blue eyes.

"You're going with him?"

She nodded.

"What about you and that Hunny kid?" She said using his nickname.

I smiled remembering today's events.

"I really like him and, and-" I decided to break down and tell her about Brenden. "Well, Brenden died and-" I was cut off by her gasp.

"Oh my god. Royal, I'm so sorry. What happened?" She said. I could see her eyes getting watery.

"He was in a car accident and loss too much blood." I informed her. I felt a sharp ping in my chest. "But anyway, Mitsukuni helps me. He's helping me stay out of a depression."

We talked for about an hour before her mother got home and she had to go help put groceries away.

I was fine for the first hour. I kept myself occupied. After taking a shower I slipped in to a pink and white striped robe and wrapped my hair in a towel to dry. I found a bottle of purple nail polish in my bathroom and sat on the floor to paint my finger nails and toe nails.

After my nails had dried I went shopping on the Internet. I bought a white tank top that fanned out like a dress down to my thighs, with black angel wings on the back, A pair of black leggings to go with it and a pair of black boots. It would be here in two days. After that I changed in to a long red night shirt and brushed threw my hair.

That's when I started to feel the seal of the band-aid Hunny had made over my heart slowly start to peal off. I got bored and it was only nine o'clock. I decided to read. After sliding under the blankets I grabbed the book I was in the middle of reading. There was a book report due soon so I could start that. After about an hour of reading I was finished with the book. I threw the book in the corner and shut off the lights. My legs curled into my chest and once again I was alone.

Tears started running from my eyes. If Brenden was still alive this wouldn't be happening. I would be sleeping right now. Today I would have played Wii with him and ate dinner together and than we probably would have watched a Steven King movie together. My favorite.

But no he's dead, so now Im forced to live with Minka and Clea. And no matter what anyone says, I Am Alone.

My body shook with sobs.

That night I cried myself to sleep.

In the morning, when I woke up I didn't get out of bed. I just stayed there and nothing would get me out.

Minka banged on my door a few times but luckily last night I had locked it. My cell phone rang a few times and I ignored it.

At noon there was a tap on the only window in my room. It was almost touching the ceiling because most of my room was underground. Someone was trying to pry it open. They succeeded, whoever it was. I rolled towards the window. A pair of feet slid in threw the opening and than a body slid in with ease and landed on the ground on both feet.

It was Mitsukuni.

"What are you doing?" He said.

I rolled over, away from him.

"Royal. Get. Up." He said sternly.

"No." I mumbled in to my pillow.

"Royal, its noon. Get up. Now." He ordered.

"No."

"I said now."

"Thank you captain obvious." I muttered.

"This is about Brenden. Isn't it?"

I hunched my shoulders in, curling in to a ball.

"Royal you can blame this on yourself."

"I never said I did."

"Well you need to snap out of it, he'd want you to be happy and not mourn over him so much."

Hunny picked me up and walked upstairs. Minka and Clea were gone.

Hunny sat me on top of the kitchen counter, like a little kid. He rested his hands on my knees and pressed his forehead to mind.

"Why can't you just be happy?" He sighed, closing his eyes.

"I don't know." I murmured.

He pressed his lips to mine and pulled back to look in my eyes. When I didn't respond he kissed me again.

This time when he pulled away I murmured, "I'm sorry."

He stayed with me and I got ready. We got in my Camaro and I drove over the speed limit. We went to the park to walk around. He held my hand and we talked about random little things. Nothing really mattered once Mitsukuni snapped me out of my trance, it was only me and him.
