Chapter 10: Different Is Great
If you are lucky enough to be different, don't ever change -Taylor Swift
January 15, 2016 (Same As Chapter 9)
Ruby ran her fingers threw long blue hair. She comfort Sapphire the whole 2 and a half hours in the emergency room. She watched Sapphire endless frowns, signs of annoyance and glowing fear. She waited for x-rays and bandages and lots more. Now, they both sat down in the hospital room in silents fearing whatever that could come in mind. The only thing that was keeping them both from freaking out was each other.
Sapphire laid up slowly from the hospital bed. Her back was going to hurt for a few days or weeks. But, Ruby promise to make everyday plain less for her by being by her side for those days or weeks.
'' Are you okay?'' Ruby asked. Sapphire nodded. With all the pills and medicines they gave her, it was making her dizzy.
Sapphire wasn't used to being hurt, though. She couldn't really get hurt. With how strong her magic was she could take down everything in her paths way. And with her mother and sister all ways with her, it was kinda hard to just fight Sapphire. Plus, guards and maids protecting her every movement too. So, this was the very first time plain was killing her inside and out. It was probably better to start off with a paper cut.
'' I'm fine.'' Sapphire mumbled.
'' Do you want to talk about what happened.'' Ruby asked. Sapphire looked up. '' You don't have too if you don't want too.''
Silents fulled the room again. Sapphire bit her lip.
'' Sapphire, it's going to be alright.'' Ruby said holding Sapphire cold hand. It was like she dipped it in cold, ice water.
'' No, it's not.'' Sapphire responded looking directly at Ruby. '' You don't understand.''
'' I could if you tell me.''
Sapphire signed. '' My mom is going to know something wrong with me as soon as she lays at least one eye on me. It's like she can see threw me. And she'll make me go back home and do something complete terrible and I can't do anything about.'' Sapphire confessed. She had to leave out her powers, blowing up earth and a lot more. And it would probably sound like a movie plot anyways.
'' I'm sure she'll understand.''
'' No, she won't. She'll make me go home and.'' Sapphire stopped.
'' And?''
'' And I don't think, I don't know, if I really ever was home.''
'' You mean, where you used to live?''
Sapphire nodded. Ever since being on earth, it started to grow on her more and more. Even if it's customs were weird like, how only winter made the days shorter and summer only made the days longer and how certain areas on earth were hot and cold, Sapphire still enjoy every bit of it. Maybe the people weren't her favorite but, she had one person she liked. And that was Ruby.
'' I want to stay here. I truly do.''
'' I want you to stay here too. You're the first friend I had in years. And you're so different.''
'' Different?'' Sapphire asked.
'' Different as in breath taken.'' Ruby teased. Sapphire giggled. '' But, I'm serious. You're different as in good.''
'' Different is good?'' Sapphire asked.
Ruby smiled. '' Different is great.''
Ruby had carried Sapphire blocks to her house. The nurse said that Sapphire was going to be alright. They had sent Sapphire home with medication. They said something along the lines of she would fall asleep instantly once she took them. Which, they were half right. Threw out the whole 4 hours, they had given her so many laughing glass and thousands of medicines that she could barley stand up with out falling to the ground. So, as soon as they entered Sapphire house, she was mumbling things. Mostly what humans would call crazy stuff and think it was the medicines.
But, to Ruby surprise it wasn't hard to take care of her. All she needed was a bucket of ice cream and a movie and Sapphire was already pasted out by 7:00pm.
'' Sapphire, come on let's go to bed.'' Ruby said. Sapphire threw out her hands like a toddler asking for a pick up. Ruby smiled and lifted the wait less teen from the leather, cold, white, sofa.
Walking up the chocolate color wooden floors, Ruby went inside Sapphire room.
It was more like a winter wonder land then a room. Lots of snowflakes. Fake snow on top of desks, bottom of windows and other places. The room on consisting different shades of white and blue. And the temperature never changed which was always cold.
Ruby laid Sapphire down softly on her bed, which was frozen cold.
'' Ruby, can you stay with me?'' Sapphire asked before Ruby could walk to the guess room of her house.
Ruby smiled and nodded. Sapphire pulled Ruby arm to the the bed with a strong pull. She then buried her face inside Ruby red sweat shirt.
'' Does you're back still hurt?'' Ruby asked.
'' Ya.'' Sapphire answered. '' But, not as bad as when it happened.''
'' Why did Jasper hurt you anyways?'' Ruby asked.
'' Homecoming.'' Sapphire answered.
'' You mean because you're going with me?''
'' Ya. But, I don't care about her anymore.''
'' Why?'' Ruby asked.
'' Because, some people just can't change.'' Sapphire answered. Her voice lowered. '' I can't help Jasper.''
'' Maybe, someone else can.''
'' Maybe.''
Sapphire signed. She laid her hand on Ruby chest and felt a soft heart beat.
'' Remember when you said you would take me to the woods?'' Sapphire asked.
'' Ya.'' Ruby replied.
''Can we go there tomorrow?''
'' Of course.'' Ruby answered with a smile.
Sapphire smile too. Ruby felt more then a best friend. She felt like she could live with Ruby for her whole life. Only, there was one problem setting everything back and keeping her in the same place. Keeping them in the same place. And she was willing to tell Ruby everything. About her powers and who she truly was. Only when and how?
Thank you for staying with me for the whole 10 chapters. I feel like this is my best well written story I had in a long time without rushing it. And with school and important testes, I feel like I've been up my game with the details and updating on time. And I want to thank everyone for reading this story as well as following and favoring it. I hope you all will stay with me for another 10 chapters. I love you all so much. I'll see you all next month for the continuing of When The Snow Falls.
