Once again (I don't think I can say this enough) thanks for your reviews! . So I decided to dedicate this chapter to you, my reviewers!

Don't own T.T or axe or Billy Madison or Forest Gump or anything else used in my story


It was the first time in my life I saw him without the band loving thing going on. He was in a long sleeve black shirt with baggy jeans and is black vans. The first two buttons of his shirt was undone and he smelled like axe. He had another dozen blood red roses in his hand making him look like he was going on a date with the linoleum floor which he was currently knelt down on, his raven head looking down.

"I can't believe she's not here." I heard him whisper to himself over and over.

"Who's not where?" I ask from the bathroom doorway. His head whips around and he stares at me. I don't blame him. I mean if I just saw a 14 year old girl in ducky flannel pajamas I'd stare too.

"MARIE!!" he yells happily and scoops me up into his painful embrace. I decide to change my tactics a bit considering I was supposed to be asleep.

"Um…I can't really….. Breathe right now….I mean not…. that you'd care or…any…thing" His grip loosens. "What are you doing here anyway, I thought you hated me?" He blushes and becomes extremely nervous.

"Well, I uh, um, w-w-anted t-t-o make s-sure your ok." He voice is very shaky.

"But you came in today to do that." I replied. Only then did I realize how close together we are. Our noses where almost touching.

"I know but….." He trails off and his eyes widen. I think he noticed how close we are too. I look up into his amethyst eyes staring at them in wonder. They are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life and I think I was becoming lost in them. He stares into my sapphire eyes as well. I'm beginning to think that April is right about her brother liking me. 'Well' I told myself, 'Only one way to find out.' And I closed the gap between us.

I was in a state of pure bliss when my lips touched his. At first he didn't respond but a few seconds afterward he was kissing me with such passion I thought I might explode from happiness. His toungue pried open my mouth and i willingly let him in as our toungues battled heatedly he ranhis hands down my back and my toyed with his hair. Heaven and Euphoria, i felt like i was in air. We part for needs of oxygen and as i touch my now bruised lips, he looks down at my feet.

"Mar...Um…you're floating." I laugh thinking it was a joke but the look in his lavender eyes made me question if it was so I look down with him.

"I'm floating!?" and sure enough my feet were two inches off the ground. But suddenly I drop to my feet.

"Care to explain?" He looks at me. I haven't a clue to why I floated so I shrug.

"Maybe we're both just tired." He looks like he's going to argue but just let's go of me and heads towards the door.

"So what does that make us?" He asks.

"Pardon me?" I'm completely confused. I grip my locket once more out of habit.

"We just kissed. Well um.." he blushes "We did al little more than kiss, so, I'm wondering, what does that make us?" He questions again.

"It makes us boyfriend and girlfriend I guess. I—I mean i- if you want to be." I say back a blush making its way to my cheeks. He walks over to me and bends down so he's eye level with me. Darn the height difference! He places a butterfly kiss on my cheek and pulls away my blush upgrading from pink to bright red.

"I'd like that." He walks over to the door again and opens it "The doctor said they'll let you out tomorrow so I'll see ya in school on Monday Shortie." With that he closes the door behind him.

"See ya Monday, Brendon." I mumble under my breath. I walk back to my bed when my foot bumps something. I look down. The bouquet of roses lies on the floor, forgotten. I smile and pick them up holding them to my chest and read the card.

Dear Shortie,

I apologize for the 100th time for what I did. I was hoping that I could discuss it with you later over some hot chocolate (I heard you didn't like coffee) at Starbucks after your out of this joint.

Hopefully your friend,

Jerk.

Oh I can't wait for Monday.


I walk into history class my hand in Brendon's, receiving glares from all the popular chicks but a knowing smile from April.

"Where do you want to sit Mar?" he whispers in my ear gently nibbling it. I motion to two seats next to April and he follows me there. I sit next to April and he sits next to me and next to him is his friend Wally West the principle's son. I heard he has a twin sister too. I think her name is Jasmine; April hangs out with her a lot and from what I hear the two of them have matching sky blue eyes height and freckles the only difference is that she has pink hair whilst he has fiery red hair.

Class ensues and we pair up to read in textbooks I go to ask Brendon but April has already grabbed me by the collar and made me pull my chair over next to her.

"Talk." She commands both of us acting like we are reading our text books.

"Your brother came into my room that night when I was brushing my teeth and we talked kissed and he left. End of story."

"Oh, well who kissed who?" She asks completely giddy.

"I kissed him and—'In 1776 the declaration of independence was signed thus, declaring America's freedom'" I read as Ms. Apps walked by. 'Smooth' I thought to myself.

"And," I continued, "He responded back so I guess you were right." She giggles happily and winks at me her forest eyes full of pride.

"I told you so!" She says mirth lacing her words. "Now listen, we are defiantly having a sleep over on Friday with the girls and you're going to tell us all about it!" I nod and give in to her request willingly. I mean it can't be that bad can it? Can It?

I'm going to dread Friday.


I laugh wildly at my new chocolate skinned brown eyed friend, Miki Stone's impression of Brendon's face when I was unconscious. She tried to make herself look like him too. She put her brunette hair over one eye mimicking his hair style and made her gold silk button down shirt as tight as possible mocking his muscles.

"Shortie!" she yells in a deep voice, "Speak to me!" Jasmine and I bump our heads together from laughing so hard!

"Ow…." I mumble she it my weak spot.

"Oh my gosh! Marie was that you?!" I had just learned that Jasmine is blind and covers her one eye with her bubblegum pink hair, kinda like Brendon but her hair goes down to her chin. Also her hair is short like my own. She's in a light pink night gown that reaches her ankles.

"I'm fine..." I say to reassure her she nods her head and leans back up.

"That looked painful" My best friend comments. April is in a pair of light purple shorts and a black Green Day t-shirt with a coffin shaped American flag on the front.

A knock is heard and we turn towards the door to see April's mom, Rachael come in with nachos and dip. Suddenly I don't see April's mom but Raven from the former Teen Titans in front of my eyes but as soon as I see it its gone.

"I thought you girls might be hungry." She says monotonously. "If you need anything I'm right downstairs." And with that she hands me the tray(I was closest to the door )

FLASHBACK

"Mar'i please be good for your mother on Tamaran for me." A woman with a cloak and amethyst eyes says to that same five year old I saw before."

"I will Auntie Raven!" She replied happily. She hugs the woman and boards the ship.

END FLASHBACK

I shake my head but Mrs. Logan stares at me. I felt uncomfortable. She says bye to everyone and utters a goodnight. And closes the door, and I'm left completely dumbstruck.


Raven's POV

I close my daughters lavender door and lean against the cream colored wall.

"Marie Gray is…….Mar'i Grayson…." I say to myself. I gotta call Richard!

"Gar! Gar Come quick!" I call my husband, running down the stairs as fast as I could.


Mar'i POV

We all sit in a semi-circle around April's big screen T.V 'If only we had TV's like this at the orphanage' I think fondly. She sets up her Gamestation XII and we rock out to Guitar Hero 14. After I kick everyone's butt but April's because that gray skinned little hustler has the game. We all watch Billy Madison, and Forest Gump.

I was fascinated about how old these movies are but how insanely funny they are too. We where at the part where Jenny and Forest meet in the reflecting pool when a very familiar voice made its way to my ears and sent pleasant shivers up my spine.

"April how many times do I have to tell you to not take my Green Day shirts!" he said very agitated all four of us turn and I blush a deep red at the sight in front of me.

My boyfriend was in nothing but a towel which was wrapped around his lower waist, water beading off from him and his hair wet and clinging to his head. He looked like a god.

"I swear if you do it one more time I'll—'' he finally realized his current situation he looked around and his purple eyes locked on my ocean ones and he blushed madly.

"Um, hey babe... I uh, um love the new pajamas," he complemented my black pajama pants with a roses going up the one side and my matching Jack and Sally (Nightmare before Christmas) tang top in the picture shaped like a tombstone Jack gives Sally a single blood red rose and it reminded me of us a step up from the ducky flannels I suppose, ".….uh, hey Miki…..Jazz…um, i-I just be leaving now and—um….no—not coming back." He walked backwards out the door or tried to at least because he hit the dresser. I slightly chuckled at this as he cursed himself for being an idiot and closed the door.

I sighed contently as a smile made its way to my face. But when I turned around my friends were grinning like idiots. They grabbed me by the arm and the questioning began.

I totally dread Friday.
