I Did This?

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

I woke up about 11:00. I got up and stretched. I went into Zayn's room and saw Penny snuggled with him. He was cuddling with her. I guess he realized that she was there. I went into the bathroom and washed off my face. I thought about what happened before I went to sleep. If I was a descendant of an original, I could move more than just living things. I focused on my deodorant can. I thought about it. I tried anything. It didn't work. I tried it with a few other things. All failed attempts.

I heard Zayn rustle in bed and walked in. "Hey. Good morning." "Good morning. Comfy?" I asked. He looked over at Penny. "Yes. Yes I am." he said as he hugged her. "She's pretty." he added as I turned around to the bathroom. "I like you two together. Zenny." I said. "Zenny?" he asked. "Yea. Ship name." I said.

I may have been unconnected to the world for a few years, but I knew how to make ship names. "Oh." he breathed. "I'm going to eat something." I said. I went downstairs and found no one was home. I went to the fridge and our some bread in the toaster. Zayn came downstairs while I waited for the bread to pop. "Where is everyone?" I asked. He shrugged and found a note on the table.

"Parents - took Safaa with me grocery shopping. Walihya has a birthday party.

Doniya - went to a friends house. Won't be back until later tonight. About 5:00. Love you"

"Won't be back until 5:00." He said. "Can I try something with Penny? She was going to show me some things." I asked. "I'll go see if she's up." he said.

*Zayn's POV*

I wwalked upstairs to find Penny. She was sleeping but I could tell she was really pretty. Beautiful even. I got to my room and she was still sleeping. I didn't want to wake her. I kneeled by the edge of the bed, my arms crossed on the bed and my head in between the cross of my arms.

She was laying on the bed instead of the pillow and she was facing me. She looked peaceful while she slept. Almost like an angel. She slowly opened her eyes and I could see they were a beautiful chocolate brown. "Good morning." I whispered. "Good morning. What time is it?" she asked in a whisper. "About eleven. 11:30."

She stretched her arms and met my face close to the edge of the bed, resting her head like I was with a smile. "We should go eat breakfast." she said. "We should. But first, can I try something?" I asked. She nodded.

I put my hand on her cheek, lifting myself up to her with my other hand. I felt my forehead press against hers and I closed my eyes. I felt her breath on my lips and I kissed her. Our lips melted together. I felt shocks and sparks throughout me. She kissed me back and I made my way on the bed. She was laying down with me above her. "I really like you Penny." She smiled. "I really like you too Zayn." "Would you want to be my girlfriend?" I asked. She kissed me again. "Absolutely." I kissed her again and got up. I helped her off the bed and made our way downstairs.

"Finally." Harry said. "What?" I asked. "I thought you were just going to leave off with the kiss. Congrats on your relationship." he said. "You heard all that?" I asked. He nodded. "No..." he said slyly as he went to throw out his paper plate. He turned to show me the huge smile on his face. I rolled my eyes and went to the fridge for a water bottle.

*Harry's POV*

"Ok. I'm gonna eat something and then I'm gonna teach you some of the things us wolves can do." Penny said. She kissed Zayn's cheek and went to the kitchen. I flashed him the same huge smile. "Shut up." He said as he took a sip of his water. They ate and Penny took me outside. Zayn followed just to watch.

"Ok. I know that you can connect with living things. Find anything. A flower. A rabbit. Anything." Penny said. I looked around and found a small little flower growing by the root of a tree, maybe an inch off the ground. "That'll work." she said.

I kneeled down by the flower. She kneeled down on the other side and said, "What you wanna do is concentrate. Clear your mind. Think of the flower." I did. I closed my eyes and cleared my mind of all other things and thought of the flower in my head. "Now tell it what you want it to do." she said. "Grow." I said. I opened my eyes and I looked at it. Nothing happened. "Maybe some practice and you will get better. It took me forever too." she explained. "I guess so." I replied. We tried a lot of other things but everything else seemed to fail as well. It was starting to get dark now. "It's gonna take a while." she started to explain as we made it back to the house. Near the house, we spotted a squirrel. "Do you want to try again?" she asked. "I don't know. It's kinda late." "Tomorrow?" "For sure." I said, accepting her tutoring for tomorrow. I was questioning if I could even do this stuff. Nothing seemed to work.

We met up with Zayn in his room. He was working on some project for school. She sated with him as I went to my room. A few minutes after I threw myself on the bed, only to hit my leg on the furniture from the distance, Zayn walked in. "How'd it go?" he asked. "Not well. I can't do anything." I whined. "It's not going to be easy. You have to work at things. Like learning to ride a bike. It'll get you some cuts and bruises but if you work hard, you get better." he explained. "That's deep Zayn." "Thanks." He smiled and he hugged each other. I looked at the clock and it was almost 9:00. "I think I'll rest a little bit." I stated. "Alright man. I'll be across the bathroom if you need me. I'll probably be working on stuff with a giant mug of coffee so if I looked sleep-deprived tomorrow, you know why." he mentioned. "Ok. Good night." He walked out and into his room and I settled myself in bed.

The next morning we went back out to practice to no avail. "Why can't I get it?" I shouted. "It's going to take a long time. I keep telling you this but you brush it off like its nothing. Like it doesn't apply to you. You have to listen." I was literally fuming. Zayn was right behind her so I couldn't do anything I'd regret thankfully. I went up to my guest room and took a shower.

The hot water warming my skin calmed me. I needed a break. I stepped out and dressed myself again. I laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling thinking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sting of hard contact to my jaw made me fall to the floor. "C'mon you prick! Get up. Fight!" he yelled. I didn't want to. I didn't want to be ok. Not without her. I saw feet from my position on the floor and heard, "Stop it! Leave him alone!" The voice was familiar from the first word. I perked up to see it was my girl. She was pulling the stronger guy's arm. "He needs to be taught not to mess with me." he pleaded. "Leave him alone. He didn't do anything." she begged.

"He did everything." Another hit was made to my stomach. He grabbed my collar on the ground and stood over me. I looked at him, desperate for him to stop. "This one is for her." he said with a snarl before I snapped up.

Panting heavily, I put my hand on my head from the terrible dream I had. I got up and looked at the clock. 2:13 a.m. Ugh. I walked to the bathroom to lightly splash some water on my face. I leaned over the sink to catch my breath and I looked at myself in the mirror. What was I?

I went back to bed, falling asleep immediately.

The next morning was Monday so I washed up and dressed myself for school. I grabbed my bookbag and my bike and ride the long distance to school. I thought about what Zayn said. I needed to work hard for something I wanted.

I found Alison's first class, only to see her hanging out with Josh. Maybe another time when they aren't together. I turned and I heard, "What do you want, you piece of-" I turned around back to her and saw her whispering, "Stop. It's not necessary." "Um... Can I speak to you for a moment Alison?" I asked. She looked to him assuringly and followed me around the corner of the hall to talk in private.

"What?" she asked. She seemed irritated. I guess I would be too if I were in her shoes. "First off, I'm sorry. For everything. I just want to say that, I kind of .... want to .... try. Take a shot at us." She looked to me surprised. "I know I didn't explain what happened and I'm willing to tell you once you see what I need you to. But I can't show you for a few weeks." I said. "I'd love to." she stated as she hugged me. "What are we going to do with .." I nodded my head in Josh's direction signaling that it was him who I was talking about. "I'll find a way. Don't worry. Thank you again for apologizing." she said. She kissed my cheek and felt the area heat up from joy. And blushing. She walked back to Josh and I headed for my first class with a smile on my face.
