Chapter 7: The Tale

Crystal

When we finally got back to Emily's we came through the door laughing at how I was observant and clumsy. We told Emily we were back then we went upstairs to my room since I promised Clair and Kim that I would do their make-up. We all changed into our dresses because we were going out to dinner tonight. I did Clair first since she would be the easiest to do. I put on a little lip gloss and added just a tiny bit of blush. She was only four so I didn't want to go over bored. I then did Kim next. I put on lip gloss and a tiny bit of blush. More than I did for Clair but I still did a little. I then put on some eyeliner that made the tips of her lashes bronze. I then applied a small amount of sparkly bronze eye shadow. She looked in the mirror and smiled. With the dress and the make-up she looked so beautiful. She looked on the verge of tears.

"Come on, don't cry, you'll ruin the make-up."

She got up and sat on my bed as I did my own make-up. I started out by removing all the make-up I had on before. I put on silver lip stick and put on a faint blush of dark magenta. I then put on sparkly black eye shadow. I then put on mascara with the tips being silver. I stood up. I was wearing black tights to go with my shoes.

"Hey Kim, do want any jewelry and for me to do your hair?" I asked

"Yeah, that would be great. Thanks."

I walked over to my jewelry box and grabbed a medium length bronze chain with a bronze rose. I also grabbed a matching pair of ear rings. I put them onto her and then I grabbed a bronze chain bracelet and put it on her wrist. I then curled her hair so it was a little curly but not to curly. I then grabbed a silver chain choker with a black diamond, and medium length silver chain necklace with a black rose, and a long silver chain necklace. I also grabbed an assortment of silver and black chain bracelets and put them equally mixed on each arm. I finally gabbed a pair of dangly black and silver chains. I took some of the hair from the side of my head and pulled it back so it was pinned frilling out and bending backwards. My bangs still hung in front of my right eye. The only true difference with my hair was that I put silver sparkles in it. Kim also had bronze sparkles in her hair except she had less than me. While I was finishing up Kim went downstairs to check on something, then she came back up right as I finished.

"Come on, let's get downstairs." Kim said. I notice she was smiling more than usual, maybe she had done something with Jared yesterday.

We walked down the stairs and when we reached the bottom all the lights were out. Then the lights flicked on with a bunch of people yelling "Surprise!" Kim yelled it also. I then understood what was going on. Emily and the others had thrown a surprise birthday party. All the girls were wearing dresses and the guys were wearing tuxes. Everyone started laughing at my face as I understood what was going on except some of the guys. There were only six people not gawking at me. Those people were Emily, the guy standing next to her who I guessed was Sam, Kim, and the person standing next to her witch I guessed was Jared, Clair, and the person's shoulders she was sitting on who I guessed was Quil. Out of the people who were gawking the person who looked the most surprised was between Paul and Embry.

I started to feel uncomfortable. I heard footstep then a slamming door. I looked up to see Embry coming towards me and that Paul was gone. Embry came up and hugged me and I hugged him back. He pulled away

"You, uh, look…nice." He said

"Um…yeah, I'm a Goth." I said so everyone could hear

Embry took my hand and kissed it which made me blush.

"Happy birthday, Crys." He said

"Are you angry?" I asked a little scared after seeing Paul storm out.

"Of course not, if anything I think you're more beautiful than before." He saw the look on my face "Don't worry about Paul, he has…um…anger management issues. He was a little disappointed to just find out that you were Goth."

After a little bit people started to talk again, there was snack bar that the boys raided. After a while Paul came back and apologized for what he did which I forgave him for. We sat down for dinner. Kim had told me we were going out but it had been a lie to cover up the party. After dinner we sat and talked a little bit. Then Kim helped Emily bring in a three layered black red velvet cake, my favorite. When I looked at the cake I took a quick look around again and then I realized all the decorations were black, grey, and silver. After Emily and Kim set the cake down I walked over and gave them both a big hug.

"What was that for?" they both asked at the same time

"Even though you just found out I was Goth today you made the decorations for this part black, grey, and silver, my three favorite colors."

"Aw, thanks, but you don't have to thank us, we did it because we wanted to." Emily said

"Even so, I'm a whole lot different than all of you yet you all are accepting, thank you, everyone" I said to everyone in the room. I felt on the verge of tears so I decided that I needed to leave so I didn't cry as much. "I'll be right back guys." My voice cracked at the end so the charade had been ended so I did a slow run out of the dining room upstairs to my bed room. I sat down in front of my mirror, then I put my head down and cried. One reason I went to my room was to get away from people, the other reason I came up here is because my breakdown would ruin my make-up and I didn't want anyone to see smeared make-up on my face. With how much make-up I was wearing I would look like a monster from a nightmare. I heard a light on knock on the door then Kim came in and said "Are you alright, Crys?" as she rubbed my back. I needed to talk to someone about my past. I needed to stop running from my past.

"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked as I pulled my head up

"Nothings really wrong, they're mostly tears of joy. Could you help me wipe off the smeared make-up?"

"Sure, then I'm guessing you're going to reapply it?"

"Of course."

After a while we got all the smeared eye liner and blush. Then I reapplied the make-up so I looked the same as before, except for the red puffy eyes. We went back down the stairs and everyone welcomed me back with mighty cheers. I took my seat that I had before between Embry and Kim. Emily then pulled me over to the cake so I could blow out my candles. Everyone sang happy birthday which made my ears bleed. The guys were terrible singers, but I laughed at it. I thought about a wish that I would make then I blew out my candles. Emily cut smallish pieces of cake for all the girls then she let the boys attack the cake. It was funny to watch. I was standing in the corner of the dining room so I didn't get run over by a hungry teenager. They reminded me of…no, I can't remind myself of the past. It will only hurt more.

When I was done with my cake I went into the kitchen and washed the plate off. As I set it on the counter Kim came in looking worried.

"You've been quiet ever since you went upstairs. What's going on Crys?"

"It's nothing Kim, it's just that…I wish I had friends like you guys back in Colorado."

"What do you mean?"

"When I went to school in Colorado I was…an outcast I guess you could say. The only friends I had left after the first year I met them. It was painful. But even they didn't truly except me. The first guy I hot close to was the first guy I went out with. It was like how it was with Embry, we hung out doing active things. He never saw that I was Goth until two weeks we started dating which was two weeks from when we first met. That night after the party he took me into the ally way by where the party was and he slapped me around. He even punched me a couple times, but it was mostly getting thrown into walls and being slapped. He tried to rip my clothes off saying that he hated the color black. That's when he started yanking my hair.

"I somehow got away and I called the police. When they arrived it was just he was about to start slapping me around again. When they saw I was Goth they told me that I had just called as a prank and that I hadn't been beat up. I tried to tell them that it wasn't a trick but the just replied that I probably deserved it. I ran away but he was there when I got home and he was really angry. He dragged me into another ally way but he had a knife this time. He cut my arms multiple times. Then he stabbed me twice in the stomach. He heard people coming so he ran away. Someone from my school found me lying there bleeding to death. The guy who found me had a crush on me. He took me to the hospital. There the doctors refused to take care of me saying that I probably did it to myself. The new guy, his name was Kiel, he told them that I had been attacked at that I didn't do it to myself. That night my heart stopped at least four or five times. When I returned to school, Kiel and I started dating. After our first kiss he promised to love me forever and that he would never leave me. On our first anniversary I found out he had been cheating on me for about six months. I ran home crying. When I got there I tried to talk to my parents but they wouldn't listen to me. They didn't agree that I should be wear to do whatever I want. They started yelling at me and I ran away for a while. Nobody accepted me for who I was back there. That's why I lied and said I was skipping a grade and going to college. I moved up here with my cousin so we've been living with each other ever since.

"When I went upstairs and was crying they were from joy and pain. Joy because I found people who liked me for who I was and pain because it brought back the memories of my past. The guys even remind me of my brother. They eat as much as he did. He was always hungry from all the running and sports he did. He was the only one who accepted me. The way Embry looked at me made me scared. I like him a lot, and if he ever wanted to become more than just friends I don't know if I'd ever be able to. I don't want to be hurt like I was in either of my previous relationships. The two nights I told you about? Those were the last night of each relationship. Ever since then, I've been scared of getting too close to someone, even a girl." I was shaking now. Those memories always brought back so much pain, sadness, and anger. So much that it made me shake. After a minute I stopped shaking and looked at Kim. She leaned in and gave me hug.

"No of us, especially Embry, would ever do that to you. Your part of our weird family now. We all love you. Some people in a different way than everyone else. We were just surprised to find out that you're Goth. We heard a lot about how you looked like us normal people." She said jokingly

I smiled at her "Thanks a lot Kim, I needed to heard that." Just then Emily walked announcing it was time to open presents.

Embry

I was walking to the kitchen but stopped when I heard Crystal and Kim talking in there.

"You've been quiet ever since you went upstairs. What's going on Crys?" I heard Kim say

"It's nothing Kim, it's just that…I wish I had friends like you guys back in Colorado." Crystal replied

"What do you mean?"

I looked down at the ground and walked away as Emily went into the kitchen to announce that it was time to open up the presents. Crystal had considered us going out but was afraid that I would hurt her. I had to change that.
