He was walking down the street when I suddenly bumped into him. Or rather, Arabella did. Her eyes stared up into his and with her angelic whisper softly said, "I'm sorry sir." He stared at her in shock, wondering how a 14 year old girl manage to have such a soft and childlike voice. His eyes softened when noticing her curious widened eyes full of innocence staring up at him. With midnight blue eyes gazing down at the teen a foot shorter than him, he smiles. Arabella's smile widens further. It was at that moment that Darien Shields entered my life. All five of our lives.
Darien Shields is an 18 year old college student, majoring in the field of psychology. It was with his eyes that were training to become a psychologist, did he notice the odd behaviors of mine.
Rayne was the one who had the next encounter with Mr. Shields. She was in the arcade, sipping on a chocolate milkshake when Darien walked in, going to the counter to order his usual coffee. When he spun around, he noticed me, or rather Rayne and smiled, walking up to her. "Hey there Arabella." Rayne looks up with an annoyed look on her face and that scowl of hers. "Arabella isn't here. It's me today." Darien was taken aback, but soon covered it up with a smile, the same one he used with Arabella and chuckles. "Forgive me then, me." Rayne stares at him in bewilderment, half expecting him to just ignore her like all the other adults. It was at that moment that her little barrier surrounding her heart was slowly breaking, only for Darien...
Arabella giggles softly in the background of my mind. "Isn't he nice?" Rayne could only mentally nod slowly, still taking in the fact that a dark, handsome college guy was talking to HER! (She is, afterall, still a teenage girl). Rayne winces in pain when Melody squeals in our mind. "I want to meet him! Oh he seems so nice and cute! Rayne I'm going out NOW!" Rayne sighs, feeling herself being pulled back while Melody takes over, all while I am still 'unconscious'.
It seems that I am the only one not aware of anything when the others take over. It is an unfair disadvantage, making my memory loss apparent, though sometimes the others would try to help, giving me flashbacks of what happened. For now, though, I am only surrounded in darkness...
The transformation from Rayne to Melody was apparent to Darien. From the slight scowl on our face, it suddenly became a wide grin and twinkling eyes. Darien stares amused. "And who might you be?" By this time it was aware to Darien that I was not quite normal.
Melody gave him her high pitched giggle, clearly already liking him. "Melody! You're cute." Her nose scrunch up cutely and give him a head-to-toe examination, making Darien raise an eyebrow in amusement. His trained eyes staring at her while he chuckles. "And how old are you Melody?" She look up and give him a cheeky smile, holding up one hand with all fingers spread out wide. "Five!"
This time, Darien's playful nature disappeared,replaced with a serious look on his face as he stare, trying to decode me, or rather Melody. The mischievious girl only giggles and stare back waiting patiently, instead of screaming and shouting like she would've done with any other male adult.
"I like him." She giggles in our mind. Rayne only rolled her eyes while Arabella pouted, jealous at the thought that the handsome man she first met is now being stolen away from her by Rayne and now Melody. Damon only huffs. "You chicks are always fighting over a guy. I can tell he's a doctor of some kind. He will use us and try to get us to leave Serena!"
The girls only ignore him as Melody look down at the chocolate milkshake, scrunching up her nose. "I don't like chocolate." Darien smiles and holds out his hand. "Then come with me to the counter while I order you another milkshake. My treat, hm?"
Nodding her head eagerly, Melody grabs his hand as he lead her over to the counter where Andrew was busy cleaning the already spotless area. "Hey Andrew a strawberry milkshake for this little lady." Her eyes brighten, wondering how this man seem to know that strawberries was her favorite.
The older teen looks up, smiling. "Right away, Dare. Hey Serena!" Melody only pouted. "Melody!" She never really liked Serena's cousin. He was always getting them all confused.
Andrew sighs shaking his head slightly, thinking this is one of those moments his cousin is playing games again. "Well alright, Melody I see you have met my best friend." She only nods and gladly accepted the milkshake that Serena's cousin handed her, all while Darien watch the encounter. Didn't Andrew find it odd that his cousin has different names?
While pondering about this, he suddenly notices Melody not drinking the milkshake anymore. Instead, she's scrunching up the bottom of her shirt frustratedly, with a slight glare on her face. Or rather, his. Damon. Darien notices. "Are you alright? Not liking your milkshake? We can get you another one." He says in a gentle voice. Damon looks up with nostrils flaring and a fiery glare directed towards Darien. "I don't like you buddy! I know what you are up to! Just leave us ALL alone!"
Damon gets up and stomps away, ignoring the cries of protest coming from the girls in our mind while having Darien stare after in shock. He had met another personality of mine. Andrew also stare after. "That must've been 'Damon'. I hate Serena when she's like that. She's been having these weird personality changes ever since I can remember, when she was very young." He sighs shaking his head as Darien watch, curious to the fact that his best friend doesn't care, or even notice the fact that his cousin has something wrong with her, or rather, him at this moment.
It was at that moment, while watching Damon stomp down the streets heading home, did Darien decide that he will care. He will find out. And he will help all five of us.
