Just started high school and I met a Ninja

A Day to Remember

I was in a haze. Anger and sorrow flowed through me. The metallic taste of blood stayed. I had nothing left in me. I was so out of it that Alister had to carry me to the car and into the hotel.

He set me down in one of the chairs in our room. Then he pulled back the covers to one of the beds. He picked me up and helped take my shoes and jacket off then he tucked me in under the cool, blank sheets.

Crawling in behind me he pulled me back against him. I rolled over and burried my head in his chest and cried. He cried too.

I knew he liked Kainco despite the fact that I fell for him. Which right now my heart ached to be back home with Alister. Going on dates like normal couples. I think it was the Yeou that screwed with my emotions. The twins must have awakened it that day in the dream. My heart constantly fought with rage. Maybe once I was back in my somewhat stable environment it would be better. So I hoped.

I didn't remember falling asleep, but at some point I did. I faded into a dream.

In the dream I was in a meadow on a cool spring morning. I took a deep breath. The sun was barely peeking over the horizon. It was majestic. A sad smile played on my lips.

I turned and saw them. A girl with long black hair and vibrant blue eyes was holding Kainco's hand and they were walking towards me. She was beautiful. She looked like a porcelain doll.

"This is her. This is Maddie." He said smiling. "I want to apologize for making you love me. I made you by doing what I did. I did it because you were exactly like her." He gestured to Maddie. She smiled warmly and waved at me. I waved back.

"I miss you. You were a great....an amazing friend." I said quietly. Tears slipped down my face.

"I know. I miss you and him too. Though," he laughed bitterly. "I don't think he misses me."

"He does." I said. I wrapped him in a hug. "I wish you were still with us. But I know you are happy."

He smiled at the girl. "Yes I am. Now I must go." I hugged him again then looked at the girl.

"Take care of him." I whispered as the dream slowly faded into the haze of sleep. I heard the girl's promis to keep him safe. My heart warmed at the thought. At least he was at peace.

I woke up with the first trendels of morning light. Alister was sound asleep next to me. I stared at him.

He seemed to age over the years. His frame became wider. His face less and less boy-ish. His eyes now held determination, not shyness. He was brave and strong in many ways. His voice was deeper, but still smooth.

I missed the old days. Where we were the romantics of the school and he was cheesy and corny with his lines or words. Were I easily laughed. I wanted to get away from home and run away with him. I didn't wish for revenge, that is not what Kainco would want. He would want me to love with all my heart and see the beauty in life. He would want me to breath in the world's sweet scent.

Alister slowly opened his eyes and stared at me. I smiled painfully. I was determined to be happy. For my own health. I was going to love, very deeply today. I would let my worries just fade away.

Alister smiled back and brushed my hair back. His voice floated into the air. "You always seem to do it."

"Do what?" I asked confused.

"You stay strong and always, always seem to look so beautiful in the mornings more then any other time." He pulled me close into him and let out a sob. "How are you so strong when I am weak?"
