Next chapter... And sorry to all my readers I don't have much time to update with school and basketball... I hardly have any time to myself. But I shall update when I can :D
Julia's P.O.V.
I didn't care that it was freezing. I didn't care that I was only wearing a T-shirt and shorts. I didn't care that my legs were about to explode from pain. I didn't care that there was a trickle of blood steadily bleeding down my leg. I just needed to get out of there. I needed to run.
I ran to the beach. I very rarely run anywhere else. But when I got there, I felt the cold of the snow and the pain from my legs, but most of all, I felt the agony of my broken heart. I flopped into a pile of snow and let the tears freeze on my cheeks as I stared at the stars. Why did he drag me along this long - just for revenge? Especially on an old enemy over something that no longer mattered? WHY DID HE HAVE TO BREAK MY HEART INTO A MILLION PIECES AND LEAVE ME TO DIE?!
My emotions were so unstable that I began to have a seizure. Writhing on the ground, I realised this was no normal seizure; I felt my temperature drop even lower as icicles and electricity shot from my frozen fingertips. The ground beneath me also began to shake, reminding me of something Misako said:
"If you don't know how to control your powers, it may lead to your destruction."
I was scared. Kevin was the only person who mattered to me, and he left. I might as well die, things will be better that way... No. I can't die. I need to hold on for the sake of those who actually do care about me.
"Julia? Julia, are you here?" a voice shouted as my vision turned black. Kai.
I couldn't respond, so I tried to control my powers. It worked a little, but it hurt so much. This is how it ends? I lose the love of my live, then I die alone...
"Julia?! NO!" I heard the footsteps as Kai ran up to me. I kept trying, but I was too emotionally unstable. Then, despite the electricity radiating from my body, Kai grabbed my hand and held it in his, rubbing it too keep it warm. A warm sensation rushed through my limbs, and I was suddenly in control of my powers. My vision returned to normal, and my eyes slowly fluttered open to see Kai's deep brown eyes staring down at me.
"Thank God," he whispered, pulling me into a hug. I hugged him like my life depended on it. Somehow, I think he may have saved me.
After pulling apart, he took off his sweatshirt and put it on me to keep me warm. Then, he ripped off part of his pant-leg and wrapped it around the gushing wound on my leg, picked me up and carried me home.
Everyone else went to bed after making sure I was ok (Sensei and Misako were home by then), but knowing I don't sleep, Kai stayed up with me for a little. When he left to go to sleep, I silently cried for the rest of the night.
**The Next Day... December 23
I didn't get out of bed that day. Instead, the others brought me my meals - which I hardly ate - and I drew pictures of death in my notebook.
Everyone paid me a visit, but I mostly just wanted to be alone. At one point though, Jay came into my room.
"Hi," I said plainly.
"Hey..." he said awkwardly. "Um, can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure. Why not." I would much rather he left, but by this point, I didn't really care anymore.
Jay took a deep breath and rushed the words out. "I-want-to-marry-Nya-I-was-going-to-propose-on-Christmas-but-now-I'm-scared-I-don't-want-to-lose-her-and-what-if-she-doesn't-love-me-back?"
"Look in her eyes. It's something Kevin and I rarely ever did, now that I think about it. And Nya's not like that, she wouldn't pull a Kevin. The only way to find out if she truly loves you is to take a chance and ask." Tears sprung to my eyes at the thought of Kevin. (Wow. Great advice for someone who just got dumped, right?)
"Are you sure?"
I nodded. "And like I said, Nya's not one of those people who would drag someone along for so long without truly loving him."
Jay thought for a couple seconds, then gave me a hug. "Thanks," he said. I smiled. Did I really just make him that happy? "I hope you find someone who really does love you."
After he left, I started drawing a picture, not sure where exactly it was going, when I realised that I was drawing a ninja... one with spiky hair and a red outfit...
And then he came in.
I tossed the drawing book and flung it across the room so he couldn't see I was drawing him... Why was I drawing him!?
"What was that?" Kai asked, closing the door behind him. He had a tray of food in his hands. Was it already time for dinner? What have I been doing all day?
"Nothing," I answered quickly. I could tell he didn't believe me, but he let it go. While he tried to make me eat and keep me smiling, I couldn't help but noticed how amazing his eyes were...
JAY'S GONNA PROPOSE! :D I'm surprised they haven't put that in the show yet... They BETTER put that in the show... I just realised how it's almost Christmas in the story and in real life LOL. But this ain't even CLOSE to being over! The rest of this will probably be in Julia's POV, not sure yet. Besides, there is some interesting shit goin through her brain right now.
