Chapter 17: This Changes Everything.

Tatianna had been sitting in the exact same spot for the passed hour, just gazing at the fire in front of her, trying to ignore the fact that three of her friends had just locked her in a giant library with Reid. But she couldn't help how her stomach felt like a large knot was in it, and the thought that he might speak at any moment made her feel uncomfortable. She had never felt uncomfortable around Reid, but after their little fiasco now she felt it every time she was near him 'Me and my spilling my heart bullshit' she thought as she watched the flames dance around the logs, changing from bright yellow to a burning red to a flashy orange and then back to yellow. Sighing she stood up, if they were just going to sit there in silence she was going to do something to pass the time. Tatianna wandered through some aisles of books, before heading up the stairs and looking at the names of the books that filtered throughout the room, she picked up a black book with gold writing on the spine and front it was about psychics and premonitions. As she took the book and began walking back down the stairs she glanced at Reid, he had a look of deep thought on his face and was still in his original spot. Tatianna said back down in her chair but decided to sit more comfortably than she had been, with her legs dangling over the one side and her back resting against the one arm rest and her head leaning against the back of the chair she opened up the book and began to read it.

Reid's POV

'What the fuck do I even say' I thought as I saw Tatianna sit back down in the chair, her blonde hair fell over the edge and her feet tapped against each other in what I am sure is a soothing motion. 'This is the second time I've fucked up, or third. I know she doesn't want to speak to me and I feel horrible for just leaving her house that night but I just I don't know what to say. Of course I like her as more than a friend but can I really be her boyfriend, I know I'm not good enough for her and she deserves the best; she shouldn't settle for someone like me' I shifted in my chair continuing to think and look around the room for a bit.

'Fuck it, this isn't solving anything and we aren't going to be let out until we talk' I told myself as I stood up, making my way over to Tatianna and sitting in the chair beside hers. I looked towards her, her gray eyes were skimming through the pages in front of her they were like two large pools of metallic and I never understood why but her eyes were the best part about her. Normally I think the best parts of girls are either their tits or ass, but it was Tat's eyes that caught my attention the most. Sighing slightly I knew I had to say something, I saw her glance up at me before returning to the book in front of her. Her body language towards me was one that made me feel queasy, it was like I didn't even matter to her that I didn't exist.

"Look you know I am no good at this whole apologizing and explaining my reasons and actions situation. So I don't even know how to exactly put this or even where to start" I began to speak, and I watched as she slowly closed the book in front of her and look towards me.

"You know Reid, you could have just said you don't feel the same. It's not like I would have ever bothered you with it again, I mean I shouldn't have even said it after all. So don't even worry about making up some big lie, like you did that night when you had to leave that night. You can just cut straight to the point and say you don't feel anything more towards me than just friendship. It's fine." Tatianna said, her voice was uncharacteristic it had no emotion in it. I can always tell how she feels by the sound of her voice, and I have never heard her like this before.

I stayed silent for a while, thinking about what to say back 'But I don't just like her as a friend, I like her as more than that. But I just can't be with her, I can't be what she needs or wants, I can't be that perfect boyfriend that all girls want.' I continued to ponder, knowing that everything I was thinking I should probably be saying.

End POV

Tatianna's POV

'Great more silence, it's always silence with him. Always trying to pry shit out him, it's ridiculous and tiresome. Great sneaky little plan you guys made' I opened up the book I was reading previously, finding the page I was on and kept reading it. A half hour had passed, and we had been in here for almost two hours and all that has been said is two sentences. After sitting for a little bit longer I decided nothing was going to change, and sat up properly in the chair.

"Well, if this is over. I'm going to go knock politely on the door and tell the guys to let me out. It's been almost two hours, two things have been said and I could be doing a lot better things with my time than sitting here. So it was a nice talk Reid, if that's what you would like to call it. When I leave here tonight, some things are going to change. You won't see me hanging around with the guys or girls, I'll hang out with the people that I am beginning to hang out with. I won't be at swim meets, I won't be at parties you guys throw at your places, I won't come and hang out at Nicky's with you. I'll pretty much have never existed in your lives, and once the prophecy bullshit is over I'll be out of your lives fully. So have a great future" I explained, I could feel the anger in my voice as I said each word. I saw him look at me with those vivid blue eyes that could make my knees weak and my insides knot up, I watched him as I said each word and how his facial expression changed from a pondering one to a look of sadness and I felt it roll off of him. 'I wish I could just these fucking powers off sometimes' I thought.

As I began to walk away from my chair I heard Reid speak, 'ah like always right when I'm about to leave' "Tatianna, that wouldn't be fair to the others for you to just leave them because of me." I heard him say but kept walking at my slow pace, "I can't lie to you and say that I don't like you, because I do. I like you as more than a friend, I truly do. But I can't be that guy you want, the one that treats you like a princess, a guy that would shamelessly do anything for you, and the guy that doesn't look at other girls or flirt with them. I can't be the perfect guy for you, and you deserve someone that will treat you right. I regret leaving your place that night, I know I should have stayed and talked to you about it. I just couldn't think properly about it all, I didn't know what to say or feel, I needed to clear my head and think about everything thoroughly. I'm sorry that I hurt you. But that's exactly why I can't be with you, I've hurt you twice now." He finished speaking, and at some point in the middle of his little speech I had turned around and looked at him. I wasn't quite sure how to feel about what he said, but I did feel slightly angry.

"Reid, who said that I ever wanted a guy that would be at my beck and call? You'd think that if I liked you that I would already know that you wouldn't be like that and maybe that is one of the things I liked the most. I think it's up to me to decide what is best for me, not you or anyone else. I know you are sorry for hurting me twice, but you know what Reid that's life. You get hurt along the way, you really do. It's not a smooth straight path, it has bumps and sharp turns that can leave you feeling hurt, lonely and beaten down. But you work through it, and in the end it pays off. I thought about what it would be like if you ever did like me back I knew that you would have a wandering eye, that there is a possibly of being cheated on, that it's not always going to be smooth sailing but at least I was willing to take a risk on it." I told him, before turning back around and towards the door I needed to get out of here I didn't need to hear that he likes me but doesn't care to be with me. It's worse than him just leaving, I feel like I'm so close to grasping something but it's still out of reach, a feeling I absolutely hate.

I knocked on the door and heard footsteps coming towards it and Tyler's voice on the other end "Did you two sort it out?" he asked.

"As sorted as it is ever going to be. Tyler please just let me out, it's been two hours and I need to get home. I have homework, and we have school tomorrow morning" I softly replied, slightly pleading with him. In reality I was going to call Clarke, we needed a serious talking session plus she is coming over tonight. I heard the door click, and open up revealing Tyler on the other side with an unsure look on his face. I slowly stepped out, walking towards the porch without saying anything to anyone after I slipped on my shoes I saw Tyler come over and give me a questioning look.

"You tried, and I am pretty sure you failed. Call me if you guys find anything more out about the prophecy stuff. I'm off" was all I said, while exiting the house and towards my car.

End POV

"They what?!" Clarke practically yelled, as her and Tatianna were having a smoke in Tat's room. Tatianna had been quiet the ride to her house, opting for the confines of her bedroom to be where she told Clarke about the boys plan that she had just gone through.

"Yeah, locked us in the library together, with no way to get out. I sat in there for two hours, two fucking hours" Tatianna growled, she was pretty pissed off at the whole ordeal.

"Wow, how.. middle school of them. Actually I don't really know if that's middle school, but how cliché. Did they really think locking you two in a room together would fix everything? Boys, sometimes they have good intentions but bad ways of executing them" Clarke exclaimed, thoroughly confused by hearing the situation. She sat there listening to Tatianna who told her about everything Reid had said and what she said back to him, of course leaving out anything involving powers and prophecies.

"Well, that is interesting. So he likes you, but didn't think he was good enough for you. That's a new one for Reid Garwin; he's never said that to anyone. Which means he really does like you, don't give me that look Tatianna, I am just stating what it looks like and sounded like. I know you really like him, don't try to act like you don't, but it's a good thing you sort of left it in his hands now he has to decide whether he really wants to take the plunge at monogamy" Clarke enlightened, smiling a bit while she spoke. Tatianna smiled a bit too, feeling better now that she had talked it over with someone.

"That's true, by the way I liked your wording on that one, take the plunge into monogamy." She replied, smirking a bit.

"Ah there is the Tatianna I know, now after your awkward ordeal I think it's only fair that I roll you, well us a very large doobie." Clarke clarified, grinning from ear to ear.

Next Day

As Tatianna made her way from her last class to her locker to drop off her books and leave the school she noticed Reid leaning up against her locker, 'What is he doing here?' she thought to herself. Slowing down so that she was standing in front of him, she looked at him waiting for him to either speak or move.

"Come to the cliffs tonight at 10" was all Reid said to her, before pushing himself off her locker door and walking away down the hall. Tatianna stared at her locker for a few moments, before opening it and leaving her stuff in it while grabbing her purse and making her way to her car where she knew Clarke would be.

"Hey girl, you look like your in a daze" Clarke greeted her, her black hair was up in a pony tail and her green eyes were enthusiastic "Did you go out back during break and smoke up with out me" she asked jokingly as she got into the car once Tatianna unlocked it.

"No, Reid told me to come to the cliffs tonight at ten before walking away" Tatianna told her, while starting up her car and waiting for it to be safe to back out of her parking spot.

"Well I say you go" Clarke told her while lighting two cigarettes and handing one of them to Tatianna.

That was how Tatianna found herself at the cliffs again that night, after Clarke had told her countless times to just go and see what he wanted. She was just parking on the cliffs, when she saw Reid getting out of his vehicle as he noticed her drive up. Getting out of her car, Tatianna made her way over to him leaning against the front of his car beside him. "So what's the meaning of our meeting?" she asked him quietly.

"The meanings of our meeting, god don't make it sound so formal Tat. I thought about what you said last night, and you are right you never said you wanted a guy like that. I just thought you would since that's like what every girl wants. I do like you as more than a friend like I told you last night, and I do want to be with you. So I asked you out here because this is pretty much our spot, to say that I do want to be with you as more than a friend. I want to give it a shot and take a risk on you and I being an us." Reid quickly spilled everything out, so that he wouldn't keep her waiting like he always did. He didn't want her to be walking away again when he was telling her what he needed to tell her.

Tatianna turned towards Reid, smiling softly "So you are pretty much asking me to be your girlfriend" she stated, her gray eyes were looking straight into his blue ones searching them for the answer. She could feel his emotions, there was happiness and also anxiety probably to what her answer might be.

"Yes, I am asking you to be my girlfriend" he replied to her, and saw her face break out into a wide smile which caused him to feel much better than he had when he first started speaking.

"Well Mr. Garwin, I'd like that" Tatianna answered him; grinning still not really believing that this was what he had asked her here for. It didn't seem real after the passed few weeks.

Reid smiled at her and then pressed his lips to hers, he had missed kissing her, feeling her skin, having her warmth surround him. He didn't realize it until that very moment how much he had missed her, he felt the electricity that he always felt with her but this time it was stronger and it was more addicting to him. Reid's arms went around her waist as hers made there way around his neck, she kissed him back in a slow and passionate way not wanting the feeling to stop that was inside of her. Tatianna slid her tongue against his bottom lip, asking for entrance, which he obliged to before their tongues met and tasted each other. They continued kissing until Tatianna felt her body tense along with Reid's, she pulled away from him just in time to be hit with a large blast of energy from the right of her sending her flying back into the dirt and Reid in the other direction of her. Suddenly she was hit again, and again each blow was larger than the one before. Tatianna screamed out loudly when she was once again hit and sent back into the trees and dirt.

Tatianna's POV

I felt something running down my forehead, my vision was fuzzy but slowly coming to. I moved my hand up to touch the cool liquid that was now sliding down my cheek, looking at my fingers my vision regained and in the moonlight I saw a dark stain on them. I smelled blood, I knew it was mine and that it was what I could feel slowly running out of my head.

"Oh god, my vision from earlier" I mumbled to myself as everything became clearer, I knew what was coming and I wasn't feeling good about it at all.

"What is with you boys and picking weak little girls. I mean I at least thought you of all people Reid would pick someone with more of a fight in her. But she" a dark voice started to come closer to me, I felt a hand encircle my throat and pick me up off of the ground. I came face to face with dark black eyes, dark hair and a slightly older face "she's just a weak mortal girl. What use do I have for her, she might as well die right now" he finished and then threw me into the air using his powers. I felt a another pull on my body felt myself flying in a different direction before I collided with something, hearing a groan and the sound of wind being knocked out of someone I gathered I had been thrown into someone. A large searing pain erupted in my right arm, I pulled myself up with my left arm climbing off of the person I had collided with before glancing at my right arm it was bleeding now staining my jeans more than they already were. I looked at the person beside me and saw that it was Reid, he was standing up his eyes black as night face scratched in certain places his shirt was ripped in a few spots and his clothes were covered in dirt.

"Don't you dare touch her Chase" Reid said in a menacingly low voice, he looked at me briefly before looking back towards the man who turned out to be Chase who was now a few yards in front of us. "She isn't some weak girl" he then added on.

I smiled towards him even though the situation we were in at the moment, "Reid, this was my vision" I whispered to him and he looked at me suddenly remembering and nodding his head.

As I stood up and stayed by Reid, Chase began to laugh just like he had in my vision, that bone chilling evil laugh that made my skin tingle and shivers run down my spine. I had never met someone so dark, someone with such an evil feeling surrounding him. "No she is a weak girl, just look at her. Just watch what happens when I do this" Chase pointed out before sending a large energy wave at me. I flew backwards and into a tree, sliding down it I coughed harshly before standing back up again. 'I should have remembered that part' I thought to myself.

"I am not weak" I growled out, I felt my powers rising and Reid looked back at me. I looked back at him, and then suddenly he was thrown back with a large blow landing far away from me.

"Reid" I screamed, running quickly over to him. He was lying against the dirt ground on the cliffs; the force that Chase had just hit him with was so powerful that it had taken pretty much everything out of Reid. His hair was messed up, eyes slightly shut and breathing becoming shallow he was tired. His eyes were no longer black, but back to blue but not his regular bright blue they were dull and conveyed a look of defeat.

"It's okay Tatianna, I'll give him what he wants" Reid breathed out, and looked up at me. I could tell he was lying, but it still didn't sit right with me for him to just say that. This was where the vision had ended that night and now I knew that I was going to have to do something to get us both out of here.

"Shut up, you are not. Gosh look at you, you get hit and start acting delirious." I said to him, before standing up and facing Chase. "As for you, get the fuck out of here right now. I know who you are Chase and you don't scare me." I yelled at him, I was angry now, he went and wrecked a specifically perfect moment for me.

"What are you going to do little one" he asked before sending a ball at me, but I quickly put up a wall of my power to block the attack and then hit him with a few of my own making him fly into the trees and slide through the dirt rocks. As he slowly got up he looked to be in pain, which made me feel happy.

"Well this changes everything" he smirked as he spoke before suddenly disappearing. I turned around and grabbed Reid's handing pulling him up towards me. I held onto him, my body shaking from what had just happened. It was quick, but still shook me up and I don't like how he said this changes everything. Which means my other vision is going to happen at some point in time, and I am betting it's soon.

"Come on lets go to my house, my mom can fix us up with this herbal stuff. Trust me" I told Reid while walking with him to his vehicle. He looked at me and smiled, but I could tell he was extremely angry at Chase now.

"Alright, I'll follow you there" Reid replied before kissing me softly and then getting into his vehicle. As I walked over to mine and got in I let out a large sigh and lit up a cigarette while turning on my vehicle and leaving the cliffs.

'Something interesting always happens out at these cliffs' I thought as I made my way home, Reid's vehicle behind mine.

End.
