Bold - Mental Communication
Italics - Song Lyrics from the band playing
There was a concert out near the Golden Gate Bridge in the park on one warm evening. Most of the school was going because it was a excuse to dance in their own manner, but I wanted to go for the music. It was mostly hippy bands, but I liked it that much to be honest. Emily wanted to go with me, and I knew Trevor wanted to go as well. Trevor and I, it was odd to think about, but we wanted to be together. I didn't want it any other way, since we knew each other so well and as we about each other's origin. We were odd, but we were odd together.
That's all we needed.
Trevor made me feel normal for once in my life, like I wasn't going to be the center of attention anymore. Whenever I was around him, my heart felt like it was going to burst and my head was spinning, but all in a good manner of course. He made me laugh with his silly jokes, he made me think with all of his philosophies on life, and he made me smile with his own smiles. It was hard to picture a life without him, to go through this chaotic life of running without hearing his voice, seeing his face, feeling his touch. I wanted nothing more than to kiss him, but me being such a girl and shy I never took the chance to kiss him. When it came to him, I wanted it to be perfect. It was a big thing to ask, but that's what I wanted.
Nico knew something was going on between us, but neither one of us wanted to tell him. Trevor's Guardian was named Natty, who had no clear either. the both of us didn't want the risk of being separated from each other, we knew it would happen. But it was rare to find each other now, since we were two of nine. Who knew if we were going to be discovered by any other ones that were from around the world. We had to stay silent, at least for now until we knew what we were going to say to our guardians. The way we thought about it was like we were Romeo and Juliet from opposing families, but it was the same kind of thing.
The festival was out on the green lawns of the park, and it started at dusk. There were lights in the trees, blinking away as we arrived at the festival. It was filled with people, mostly teenagers and young adults as they were all walking around. THe concert was already underway as the band on the main stage was playing some folky songs. Trevor brought his camera with him as the three of us made it onto the park grounds. Emily knew something about the two of us, making me think of how people already know about Trevor and I when neither one of us told anyone anything. But she knew to not say a word as we all looked around on the grounds, seeing some of our classmates. One of them was Rachel, whom saw the three of us and was already sneering at us. Well, she was looking at Trevor and I was I saw Trevor look at me, then her. He took my hand gently as we walked away from her and towards the stage.
"Forget her." he said to me as we walk, making me smile at him as we made it to the stage. Some of the people were standing and listening as Trevor took out his camera, snapping pictures away. I wrapped my arms around him from behind and rested my head on his shoulder, seeing him smile as he still took pictures of the band.
"Trying to distract me are you?" he asked me aloud as I smiled at him, hearing him take another picture.
"Is it working?" I asked him playfully. He turned the camera around and had it aimed at us. I smiled at the camera as he took it, the flash going off and the both of us laughed. Before we took another picture, Emily snuck in between the camera and Trevor and poked her tongue out, the picture flashed and took the shot. We all laughed as Trevor moved the camera away and the mood was lighter than ever.
Then we heard a slow come coming on and Emily sneaking the camera away from Trevor, walking away from the both of us with his camera in hand as she spotted her art friends. Trevor and I looked sheepishly at each other as we saw other couple starting to dance with each other. I didn't know what to do then, this was new to me really. But I felt him take my hand gently and wrap a arm around my waist, pulling me close and I rest my other hand on his shoulder as we started to sway with the music.
Golden Leaves, looked brown to me
The world had less color without you
Shapes in the sky, looked plain to my eye
The world had less color without you
As we swayed with the music, neither one of us spoke as we looked at each other the whole time. It was too peaceful to speak to each other, and I knew the both of us knew that for a split second. But I wanted to break the tension as I looked at him, seeing his eyes pour into mine and making me feel so giddy all over again.
Can you hear me? I heard a voice go off in my head, and it was his voice. I gave him a surprised look as we swayed with the music, seeing him smile at me as I thought of what I was going to say to him.
Yes I can. I replied back to him as his hand on my waist wrapped around, making his whole arm envelop me towards him and making me go closer to him. I could breathe in his cologne he was wearing and see the fabric on the shirt he was wearing. It was making me feel real nervous being this close to him and saying nothing to him, should I say something to him?
I know
Plenty of people
With eyes closed
They don't see you like I do
Darling I do
I closed my eyes then, feeling a overwhelming sensation of warmth and peace flooding me as we swayed with the chorus, making me smile and think of when things were simple. If I was a human instead of a alien, having a normal life and a normal boyfriend. Things would be simple, so simple that I would have to do something crazy to make it fun. But feeling Trevor close to me, his forehead touching mine and his hold on me possessive on me, I wanted nothing but him and only him. I only wondered if he wanted me in return as much.
I like holding you close, like this I heard his voice in my head say aloud and I smiled, moving my hand from his shoulder to his neck, resting it there and feeling bold enough to do so. I was so close to his lips that I could kiss him. But I was still shy, very shy as I kept my smile on my face. I felt like he was smiling as well as we went along with the music.
Notes on the keys, meant nothing to me
The world didn't sing, without you
Birds in the trees, fell silent for me
The world didn't sing without you
Without you
I know
Plenty of People
With eyes closed
They don't see you like I do
Darling I do
Darling I so
See you.
I feel safe for you, for once in my life I feel safe enough. I said to him in my mind, instantly feeling him pulling me even closer as ever as I kept my eyes closed. His arm around my waist was protecting me almost in a way as his other hand left mine, moving towards me face and resting it on my check. My spare hand moved to his side and held it there as we kept moving on the grass, knowing that others could see. We were exposed, but we were so lost in each other it was like we were gone from this planet and on another one.
I wouldn't let anything happen to you. He said to me and I almost cried then, knowing now we were in way over out heads now and there was no going back. We were stuck together for life, but how wonderful was that. We knew we were being hunted down by beings from another planet, our home planet, and they wanted us dead. I knew I was going to die, then Trevor soon after, but this moment was all I wanted and needed to get by.
To feel free.
It seems like you're stuck with me for good. I said to him, knowing somehow that he was smiling then and feelings his fingers on my lower back sprawling out and making me gasp slightly. I opened my eyes then, seeing Trevor open his eyes as well and looking right at me and making me loose my own train of thought. He leaned in a bit more and pressed his lips onto mine so gently, making me feel like I could burst into a thousand pieces and never feel sorry for it. His hand on my face framed my face in his hand, making me feel so loved as I gently held his kiss. He was one that kiss me, finally! I felt like things made more sense when I was with him, and I knew that I wasn't going to go anywhere without him now. I was in love with him, with Trevor. It was so final when he kissed me there, and I could feel he meant it as he stroked my face in a loving manner. I could feel him trembling against my lips, as if he was about to cry as I kissed him, wanting to show him what I was feeling as well.
I was about to pull away and talk to him when there was something heard in the air high above us, and we both pulled away and looked up. The rest of the crowd did as well, and by that time it was already dark and the only source of light was from the lights in the trees and the stage. Everything was silent, even the band stopped playing as we all tried to hear what was in the sky. It was almost like a whistle, coming closer and closer to us. I thought for a split second it was from Modadorians, but how could they know where we were? That couldn't be the case.
Could it?
Within a split second there was a blinding light and the sound of metal crashing, then screaming as I looked to see the stage destroyed. I then knew they were here, but before I could voice it to Trevor he was pulling me along with him and we started running. Everyone else was running as well, running in every direction and making it hard for us to navigate through the crowd. I knew we were in trouble then as I looked back to see if I could see one behind us. I saw nothing, but I knew they were watching us, trying to find us and kill us.
Everyone was in a panic, running all around us and making me almost loose Trevor once or twice. But he held onto my hand like a death grip as we made out way back onto the city streets.
"We need o get out of being in plain sight." Trevor said to me as I held onto him with both hands. I knew we had to as well as we went around the corner and down the street, seeing less people and more cars.
"Let's go to my place, it's closer." I said to him in a huff as we both bolted down the street. We couldn't slow down, not for one second as we turned onto another street and ran over to my apartment. I knew we would be safe for a moment or two as I three the door open with a fierce shove, almost knocking it on the floor and then seeing Nico standing in the center of the living room, his armed weapon out and pointing in my direction. He looked so concerned and ready to kill whomever came into the room, but as soon as he saw it was us, he lowered his weapon and walked over to the two of us.
"I heard the explosion, are you two okay?" He asked me aloud, looking from me to him and then back at me. We both nodded our heads and he sighed, looking back over to the window.
"WE need to move now." He said aloud, in his serious tone of voice. I panicked then, looking at Trevor with wide eyes and seeing him do the same and I looked back at Nico. He had to know what was going on, what Trevor was and that we needed to stay together. So I found my voice, letting go of Trevor and feeling the loss of his warmth as I faced Nico.
"I can't leave Trevor." I said to him aloud, seeing him look back at me with some confusion in his eyes.
"What are you talking about?" He asked me, totally oblivious to what I was in fact speaking of. I looked back at Trevor one more time and then back at him, ready to take the plunge.
"He's Number 8."
