Dark At It's Brightest

Chapter - 6 - I've got the moves like... Jagger?

I sat under the tree and I felt like the time goes by like a speed of light. When I looked at the time in my phone it was already 11:32 a.m.

I looked around me and there was no one in the park. I decided to walk one more lap to walk out my stiffened legs which I couldn't practically move. Somehow I got them to work again and started to slowly walk towards the fountain in the centre of the park.

It wasn't long before it started to rain. I put my jackets hoody on and kept walking. I didn't mind the rain. It felt a little bit cold and I understood that I couldn't be long outside in it unless I wanted to catch I cold, but I didn't really mind it.

I walked past the fountain when suddenly someone yanked my arm back and I almost lost my balance. I looked back at the stranger to see who would do such a thing but I froze as soon as I had turned.

I glanced at the man's face and I felt like freezing cold water was dropped on my head.

He had dark black hair and big eyes. I couldn't exactly tell what color they were because they were so pale and that only color I could see in them was grey. His face was full with piercings. He had noticed my interested stare and shoot me back an even more intimidating one. I immediately blushed and tried to turn away.

"Who are you?" I asked him curiously.

"It's better for you to not know. I've got a better question... what are you doing here?" He asked with a deep intimidating voice.

"And why do you need to know that?" I tried to keep my posture straight and to not expose that I didn't know what I was doing.

"Let's just say that I'm your guardian angel for the day..." He said as he tried to hide his smile.

"What is that supposed to mean? Guardian? What are you crazy? I'm not some stupid blonde, rich princess with pockets full of cash and fear of braking a nail. I can handle a little trouble and I certainly don't need a "guardian angel"." I felt my blood pumping up with adrenaline. It felt good and odd. I didn't know why I was acting this way but I didn't want to interrupt myself.

"Woow! Calm your tits ma..." He stopped as he saw my angry killing stare. I couldn't hear that phrase again in my life it was just too stupid and too my-brother-like. And FYI who does even tell that to a girl???

I started to walk back to the house and I heard some heavy footsteps behind me.

"Why are you following me, stalker?"

"I already told you that I'm your guardian for the night and I'm here to make sure that you keep your pretty little mouth shut or I will sew it shut..."

Oh wow again with the Man... why doesn't he just kidnap me like the rest of my family and keep me in starvation until I make suicide? My sarcastic thoughts were all over the place. Between us remained silence but I couldn't ignore the annoying sound his heavy footsteps were making.

"Could you at least walk quiet-er? My ears are going to pop out of my head each time you're making a step." He threw me a shocked glance and the next ten minutes I was amused by his unsuccessful attempts to do what I told him. He really tried and I was thankful for it. I tried to hide my laugh as he took another step.

The rest of the walk we remained in silence and my ears felt like they were having a atomic bomb attack.

"You aren't coming in the house, are you?" I asked him as I turned around. I was talking to myself. Nobody was there. Was it all just my imagination? I looked at my clothes again for an approval, but they were still wet. Did I just imagine him and talked to myself like a psiho? No I couldn't be imagining him. Am I mentally ill?

I opened the front door, took my shoes and my jacket off and walked upstairs when I heard a deep unfamiliar voice "Where are you coming from?"

I slowly turned around to face Bruno. This day just couldn't get any better!

"The park... I was just walking and..."

"You decided to go for a swim?" He interrupted me. Was it a joke I was sensing?

"Not really, it actualy started to rain..."I blushed and my clothes suddenly were just too wet and hugged my body in all the wrong places to be standing in front of him. I felt like I had to do something to gain his trust even when I weren't a member of this family. I had to do something for him to trust me and I wasn't so sure that it would be easy. The room went quiet and we were still standing in the same place and staring at each other like idiots...awkward-ness took me over...

"OK. I'm just gonna go now..." I said and gestured to the upstairs. He turned away and walked into the kitchen leaving me standing on the staircase.

That went well.

I ran into the guest room and threw my wet clothes onto the floor. I took a long hot shower with my favorite sticky songs flying through my head and filling the hot bathroom air.

"I put on a show

Now I make it

You say I'm a kid

My ego is big

I don't give a shit...

I've got the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

I've got the mo-o-o-o-oves like Jagger!" I sang with all my heart.I didn't care if I was a good singer or not and if I got a good voice or not but I just sang and for a moment all my troubles faded away and I was alone with myself and only myself. I started to dance a little and move to the rithm.

''I don't need to try to control you

Look into my eyes and I'll own you with them moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like...''

I didn't even manage to sing the last word, when I slipped and screamed from shock and from intense pain in my left leg. I looked at it and it was in a unnatural angle. I heard steps in the room and quickly grabbed a towel to cover my self from other's eyes. Door handle pushed down and in the doors stood Michael.

He looked at me and quickly ran onto the room and brought me a bathrobe and handed it to me trying not to look to the wrong places. He turned away so that I can put it on. It was really hard to do since my foot was probably sprained and I was sitting on the showers floor.

This day is certainly on of my best days ever! I've got a sprained foot, Bruno hates me, and from the look Michael gave me I could sense that he saw my private parts...Oh and not to mention but my family is kidnapped and I've got a stalker who from now on probably will follow me everywhere(If I hadn't imagined him off course...). In times like this I think I might be going crazy... Could it get any better?
