Chapter Seven:

I sat next to Cameron silent as ever. I stared at my menu not really hungry for anything. I had realized that what had happened last night wasn't some crazy dream.

"So, Jake, how old are you?" I heard Cameron ask from beside me.

"I'm sixteen." He answered not interested.

"Where were you born?"

"France."

"Really! That's interesting." Cameron said elbowing me. I rolled my eyes uninterested.

The waitress came and took our orders. I had a simple bagel where as everyone had actual meals.

"Why aren't you eating anything?" I heard Carson ask from across the table. Everyone looked at me.

"I'm just, not that hungry." I responded realizing that Jake's eyes were glued to my face. I looked at him and we locked eyes.

"Are you sick? You look kind of pale." Cameron asked.

"No. I just, didn't get that much sleep last night." I answered pulling my eyes away from Jake's.

I felt my black wildcard cell phone vibrate in my pocket. I took it out and answered it.

"Hello?" I asked into the phone.

"Hey Alice its Jim, can you put Cameron on?" Jim asked. Jim was the man selling us the house in Boston. We had lived in many places before we came here but this had been the longest boat ride ever. Cameron thought that boating would be a good experience for Carson and me since we had been on planes to all over the world. Before Boston we lived in Florida and Cameron thought that we should move to a more upstate region.

"Why didn't you just call his cell?" I asked curious.

"Well, I sort of…lost it." He replied hesitating.

"Nice, alright here he is." I said handing the phone to Cameron.

While the two talked our food was served. I took a bite out of mine and looked around.

"You ok Alice?" My brother asked.

I nodded. "I'll be outside ok? I need some air." I said grabbing my bagel and walking out. I leant over the wooden railing and sighed. I didn't get it. Why was I feeling so depressed? It wasn't like I had my period or anything, so why? It felt like there was a huge hole in my heart and no matter what it kept bleeding. I stood outside with the sun shining on me for about five minutes when I heard Jake.

"You alright?" I heard Jake's voice behind me.

"What do you care?" I said annoyed with the sound of his voice.

"You're brother and Cameron are worried about you and since you aren't explaining anything to them they wanted me to come out here and find out." He said.

"Of course, you can't once be worried." I mumbled. "Go tell them I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me." I said aloud.

"There is something wrong." Jake said as he walked over to me. I turned to him and stared as he looked out to the water. He had his hands in his pockets reminding me of someone. I couldn't remember who exactly but I knew it looked familiar.

"Look, about last night…" I said hesitating not wanting anything to come out wrong.

"That's what you're all depressed about?" He asked looking at me. His gaze cut through me like a knife. He took a step closer to me. "You've got to be kidding me, look you need to learn to mind your own business and stop acting all happy, when you're heart is bleeding. You don't have to hide your emotions didn't anyone tell you that when you were young?" He said his voice getting harsh and angry.

"You have no idea what I feel! And you don't even care. You say these things but in all reality you're doing the same thing!" I yelled standing up straight looking straight into Jake's eyes.

"You're young you don't understand." He said looking down on me.

"How can you say that when you're the same age as me!? You think you're all that don't you!? You think, that you can do and say anything you want and no one will say anything about it." I challenged him yelling louder now.

"You're acting like a child." He said calmly.

"UGH! I can't take it anymore!" I yelled balling my hands into fists. I walked away and into a plaza. I walked into an alleyway. I stopped in the middle and looked down at my hands. A large scar was cut across both palms. I looked up and there dark clouds lingered above my head. I walked back to the restaurant now that I had calmed down.

"There you are!" Cameron said once he saw me leaning on the boat. He walked over to me. "Where were you?" He asked.

"Just checking out the place." I said rubbing the scars with my other hand.

"Well get some of your stuff Jim will be here with our car in a few minutes. I jumped on board and gather all of my things into my luggage bags. I knew about being quick with moving in since I've done it so many times. I had all four bags before me as I looked around searching for something that I forgot. I left my bed and dresser in the room along with a few of other things that I wouldn't need. Then before I was going to leave I realized that I still had my journal in the night stand. I put it in my hand bag and walked out.

"I packed everything that way I won't have to do it later." I told Cameron as I handed him the bags that he put into the car. We had a black SUV and with it plenty of room.

"Where are you gonna go Jake?" I heard my brother ask Jake as I grabbed Cameron's things and putting them in the car.

"I'm not sure, It is a long way to where I go to school, and I live in the dorms there. I guess I'll tag a taxi." He responded.

"Well why don't you just stay with us?" Carson asked. I walked over.

"He can't he has other things to do." I said. Carson looked at me as if saying 'yeah right'.

"What're you talking about?" Cameron asked. Before I was able to say 'nothing' my brother spoke out in an outburst.

"Can Jake stay with us? He has nowhere to go and his school it a long way off." My brother said.

"Carson!" I said looking at him sternly.

"Alice, it's fine, he can stay with us." Cameron said then turned his attention to Jake. "Where do you go to school?"

"Happening High." I remembered the name.

"That's where I was excepted!" I said feeling relief graze over me.

"We don't live that far away 'cuz Cameron didn't want to drive every morning." My brother said and laughed as Cameron sighed.

"Well then, you are excepted into our home, but a few conditions. I will have no partying and no drinking in my house…"

"I think he gets the idea Cameron" I said to him. "I think it'll be good to have him around. Carson will have a friend around and he won't have to come to you all the time bugging you to play football or something." I said.

"You're just saying that because you don't want him to aggravate you!" Cameron said and we all laughed.

"Alright in the car then!" Carson said as if he were the one driving.

We got into the car once everyone had finished putting their stuff in the back. I sat in the back with Jake as my brother sat up front with Cameron. We were headed for the country side just outside Boston. It was a little town that was cloudy most of the time and everyone knew everything about everyone. It was kind of creepy thinking about it sometimes, being the new family in town.

We were moving into a home that had been abandoned since the Victorian age when it was built. It was a beautiful brick house but I wasn't too sure about the inside. Jim said that he would meet us at the new house and tell us a little about it, the basics really.

"The name of the place is Chrysanthemum field right?" I asked reassuring myself.

"Yeah." Cameron said fiddling with the radio.

"I wonder why they called it that." I said.

"Because there are many fields of chrysanthemums there." Jake said beside me with his head on the cool glass window.

I stared as his eyes looked like glass, like a mirror that told his story. Then his eyes turned to me and my body froze.

well what'll happen? And what's the house like, and what about the school? Who will they meet? Keep reading!
