Invasion within the heart

Status: It's complicated

I couldn't go to sleep, not after I said those words to him and then made him feel unwanted. My sister yelled at me afterwards and yet I couldn't understand why I said those things. It's like something else was controlling my words.

"Can I ask you something?" Uncle Vince asked me.

Nodding my head, and waited for him to say something, a knock on my front door pounded and it made both of us jump. Uncle Vince yelled for my sister to grab the door and then he looked at me with an intense stare.

"Bane, I know it's been hard on you since we arrived here but rejecting that feeling will only make it harder on you," he told me carefully as if knowing I might go off on him.

Breathing out a puff of air, I said, "Feelings for someone like him... can't happen, because dangerous things happen around me."

Walking in, just at that moment was my sister and she was holding the clothes that boy grab last night and didn't return. She looked a little mad but more sad then normal. She dropped off the clothes on my bed and went to leave.

"What's wrong?" I asked her as I looked into her cold blue eyes.

She headed towards me and I got up as she embraced me, "Jordan's emotions are all so cold and depressing. He was wearing all black and his eyes were red. Did you do that to him?" My sister asked as I held her tight.

Uncle Vince looked at me with a grim face as he got up and walked away. Bet he's thinking of ways to make this up to the boy. They both left me with just my thoughts.

"Shit," I said as I grabbed my sweater that he returned and my keys and left.

Walking not even a mile, I saw him walking with his head down and heading towards the cemetery's entrance. Keeping my pace fast enough to watch where he's heading but far enough to avoid him seeing me if he turned around.

After two minutes of walking, he stopped at a fresh grave site and fell to his knees in front of the tomb stone. It wasn't a basic tomb stone. No, it had a shape of a woman warrior with twin swords in each hand. Truly something special to see in person.

Silently, I went closer until I was right behind him and I heard him crying for a girl name Bonnie... I didn't know who she was but he missed her deeply. His suit was dirty and the back was damaged a bit. Seems like an old suit that has been worn out a lot.

"Did he wear this suit to visit the dead?" I thought as I watched him for a few seconds.

Pain went all over my body as my legs gave out and fell to my knees. He turned to see me then, and his eyes got wide as he got up and ran towards me just as I blacked out

^^
Her funeral felt more painful then I thought it would be... both her parents invited their family and some college friends of hers. The ones we both had in common just stared at me with hateful eyes. Seems I was yet again hated.

When it was all over, my mind thought of the clothes of Bane's still waiting in my car because I had planned to drop them off to him later today. Everything felt hurt; my mind, mostly of all the memories Bonnie and I had shared over the past years.

Yet, here I was standing at his door, remembering where he lived wasn't hard. I wrote the address down in case I needed the police. Earlier, the nurse had informed me that Bane was a good guy, willing to help anyone when forced to by her and she smiled. She was his step mother and liked to force her son into doing jobs he didn't like.

"He's been avoiding people recently, only his sister and my brother Vince does he talk to anymore," she informed me as she shooed me away.

While walking away, I couldn't help but remember how he always called, 'boy,' when I'm fact he knew my name. He was indeed a year older then me but why call me someone so fragile?

"Here I go," I coached myself as my hand balled up and knocked on his front door.

His sister answered the door, she seemed almost bored when she answered and her eyes lit up when she saw me. Without knowing why, she pulled me into a hug and it felt warm and strong. As if she was removing all the pain I've felt today.

When she released her hold on me, I held out his clothes and said, "I brought back his clothes, will you tell him I didn't mean to run away like a kidnapped person."

"It's okay, if I woke up naked underneath my brother, I would do the same but I would also slap him," she told me.

"Yeah, I should've," my voice said without me realizing it and she laughed.

After I said my goodbyes, I realize how close his house was to Bonnie's grave site and just like my body was put into autopilot and I headed to the graveyard.  Each step felt harder and my feet became heavier. With everything that happened, my thoughts were frozen and my heart would began to warm unnaturally.

Her tombstone was a Amazon warrior with two blades, Bonnie always like to pretend to be a warrior and protect... me like I was the weak victim. Falling down on my knees, I cried on her tomb and I heard someone stop behind me.

Thinking it was maybe one of her parents, visiting her grave one last time before they drive back home. It was when I heard a painful cry that I turned around to see Bane getting zapped by some old man.

Rushing towards him, everything went slow around me just as I kicked the man in the chest and he fell hard on the ground. I knelt down to check on Bane, he was crying in pain while trying to get off the ground but couldn't. The old man, he was getting off the ground slowly, the whole area was empty and I didn't know what to do.

"Take my hand," Bane told me.

"What?"

"Please, Jordan," Bane pleaded and maybe it was hearing him call me by my name but I grab his hand and we vanished.
