One Question

Part 8

Ciara's P.O.V

Pacing around the room i think of something interesting to do cause i'm extremely bored i tried watching movies, playing games but nothing seemed to interest me except for books but if i wanna read any think i'll have to walk myself to the library which is three lanes away from my home cause all the books in my room are read by me multiple times and whenever i try reading it again, just one line is enough for my brain to review the whole story, so there's no use of reading it. I decided to walk myself to the library it's been a long time since I've done something outdoor, steeping out of my room my feet made it's way to Drake's room, i gently knocked on the door.

"Ciara?" i nearly gasp seeing my brother, his hair were sticking out in every possible direction, his lips were chapped and there were dark black bags under his eye's.

Stepping inside his room i hugged him, i don't no why but whenever we find each other troubled or depress we hug and that always seems to work maybe it's because our parents used to do that with us.

"Ciara why are you here? do you need something?" he asks softly while moving me at arms length so that he could see me.I din't answer his question cause i know i can't go around saying him that i need you to go to the library and bring books because i'm bored, that'll sound very rude.

He slightly shook me by my shoulders and that's when i broke from my trance.

"It's nothing i...um-i was just going to the library" i say slyly and before i knew it Drake garbed his jacket and began pushing me out of his room but before he could i stooped him by hugging him again.

"I don't want you to come with me, you have a lot of work to do i din't want to disturb you but thought it'll be better informing you before leaving." his entire room was littered with papers, there was hardly some place for walking, but this isn't new, every month ending you can see Drake and his room looking troubled and each time he comes out of this situation pretty easily it ain't a huge task for him but it ain't even a small one.

"No, i'm coming with you it's not safe" he says shaking his head in disapproval.

"Our neighborhood is really very safe and the library is only 10 minute walk, if anything will happen to me the'll call you and i haven't talked to Mrs.Leona for a very long time, please let me go alone" i beg him while giving my famous puppy face.

"Don't make me regret my decision" he says seriously but the way the corner of his lips were twitching i knew he was trying hard to smile and he eventually did.

"I won't" i hug him one last time and began exiting the room.

"You have my number on speed dial don't you?" he asks suddenly worried

"Yes i do" i say giving him a reassuring smile before leaving.

......................................................................

Entering the library the smell of books hits my nose making me smile. The library was very big, it was loaded with all categories of books you name it the library has it, i always found this place relaxing, the whole library was made up of wood giving it a fancy look, there were huge bookcases all rowed in a line according to the categories and at each end of a row was a table set or a couch, the library wasn't crowded but the tables and the couches were all occupied, good think i'm not reading here i'll just buy'em and leave.

"Ciara! my girl it's been a long time!" turning around i see a lady in her 30's wearing a white dress her beautiful black hair tied in a neat bun and her brown eyes dancing with happiness.

"Hi Mrs.Leona, i missed you so much" i run and hug her and now i realized that i missed her so much, in that horrible chaos i forgot about her and remembered today when i was out of books, i feel so bad and selfish that i din't meet her for 6 months or so.

"I thought i won't see you again" she says a silent tear rolling down her cheeks, i couldn't do anything but hug her.

"The same old hug which means and worth a lot then words" she says laughing, everyone who knows me are aware that my hug means a lot then my words that's how my parents taught me to express my words through my feelings.

"So.....will you show me the best vampire books you have here?" i don't know why but i love reading vampire books, it always sparked my interest.

"Same old Ciara" we both laugh and walk towards the books, she stops me at a shelf filled with vampire books, my fingers run through the books but only one book catches my eye and unfortunately it's 10 cases above me, now you must be wondering how i saw the book well let's just say it was very colorful and it simply caught my eyes.

"Mrs.Leona um.....can i get that book?" i point her the book and she smiles.

"You still like colorful books?" i nod my head rapidly like a three year old eager to get a candy.

"OK i-uh I've a slite sprain in my leg so i can't climb on the ladder, i'll call someone else to c-".

"No no it's fine i'll do it myself" i assure her smiling.

"Ok if you say so but i still could ask so-" i give her my puppy face, she sighs but eventually smiles and walks off to bring the ladder and that's when i notice how she was walking in an uneasy way.She soon returns back with a girl carrying a ladder Mrs.Leona thanks the girl and she lives smiling, i take the ladder and place it carefully and climb on it my legs are wobbly underneath me, i don't know for how long i haven't climbed but soon my legs regain it's strength and i climb it without wobbling, a sigh of release escapes my lips when i reach the top of the ladder but it soon vanishes when i see the book is still one shelf above me, standing on my tiptoes i try to reach it but it doesn't work, i stretch my body as far as i can but still couldn't reach it so i decide to jump and grab it taking the risk of getting hurt which i hope i won't.I take a deep breath i count till three and jumb stretching my hand above me and when i feel the book touch my skin i grab hold of it and smile my shoes touches the ladder but slips and the next thing i know is..............

I'm FALLING

I close my eyes and wait for the impact of my butt towards the floor and the brutal pain spreading through my body but it never comes and instead i feel warm hand around my waist and a warm breath on my neck.

"You can open your eyes" a familiar voice whispers in my ear sending chills through my body, slowly opening my eyes i see ocean blue eyes staring at me and those kind of eyes belong to only one person..........

Brandon.

He removes his hand from my waist and that's when i realize that i was staring at him, steeping away i blush making him and Mrs.Leona laugh.

I quickly hand Mrs.Leona the money kiss her cheek and run away from them walking outside the library but not before hearing both of them laugh even harder, a smile creeps on my face as well as the shade red. While walking back home i just thought....

What just happened in there.
