Her Blood Tears

Uneasy

Fern's POV

Alieen walked up to me in a different type of way. She wasn't her normal and confident self. "Hey" I said to her once she walked towards me. Alieen looked at me and gave me a smile. "Rhys wrote a poem about you" said Alieen as she gave me a hug.

"What" I said pulling away with her after we hugged. I still had my hands on her shoulders in shock. "How do you know it was about me" I asked her curiously. "What rhymes with return other than Fern" said Alieen. She was giving me a smile. I think I was completely overjoyed.

When I was exploding with excitement over Rhys liking me I saw Alieen's smile fade. I got scared of what she was hiding fro me. "What is it" I asked her as I looked to the ground. "Just my family" said Alieen. This was the first time she mentioned them.

"They aren't alive anymore so we moved in with the Sepperin family" said Alieen. "I basically went into his room and I..." said Alieen as she stopped to sigh. I put my arm on her shoulder. This was really hard for her to say. I saw her take another break.

"I found a old picture of my family" said Alieen. She was so torn apart about this that she had to be so sad. I hugged her not wanting her to feel pain. I felt so bad for her. Even Daisy must have a hard time with this. My new friends told me about their family. How could I not be a good friend and hug them.

Alieen's POV

I was going to tell her. To at least warn her of the danger she will be in. Maybe this set up was a deal with death. If anyone else knows about her feelings towards him they might use it to their advantage. As a good friend I want to protect her. I became so close with her from when we first met.

Yea I tried to use her as well but that was at the beginning. I can no longer go through with this wicked plan. Even though I am getting worse. We may need food but no friend will fall at my hands. Definitely not in the hands of my own. Not a monster's hand like myself.

Fern's POV

I pulled away from Alieen but I kept my hands on her shoulders. I searched for any sign of comfort or relief. Instead Alieen gave me a half smile. She tried to show me it was okay. I hugged her again to thank her for what trouble I had put her through. The memories must have hurt her so much.

Now I understand why Alieen, Daisy, and Rhys all walk the same way. "Thank you it's okay because the Sepperin family takes a lot of foster kids in" said Alieen. "That's why he had the photo" said Alieen a bit dryly. She put on a smile after she said that.

I thought it was quite strange how she said that. I mean it's also wonderful that the Sepperin family takes in foster kids. I wonder who else they let into their home. Maybe that is why Rhys is so quiet. There must be a lot of people living there.

I do know they have the second biggest house in the town. Most rich people live around here since these are million dollar homes. I wouldn't believe all the stuff that they would not have here. I thought the town was empty for sure. Who knows.

The town next door as so many people it's kinda like a city. That's where my parents work. It's another reason why I don't see them that often. I wish I had a sibling. I do have Fluffy my Japanese Splits. She is the only person I have waiting for me to get home.

It's not much but having a lot of people in one household makes it sound chaotic. I have no family other than my parents. It's very sad to say but I am all I have to a normal family. At least I have Fluffy for a lifetime companion. She is the only one I need.

I looked to Alieen who was her confident self. "Now are you going to tell Rhys how you feel. It's okay if you are scared. I know this is a new thing and you haven't been here that long" said Alieen. She kept talking really fast and she made me think about what she was telling me. She was actually right.

I haven't been here for that long. Yes I wanted to do this and see how it goes. No I don't know hot to get his attention. Maybe she was talking me out of it. Honestly it would be a good idea to give up and just life my life. I barely started to become comfortable. I don't know what I was thinking.

I don't think this was a great idea anymore. As I stayed there thinking of what I was going to do a light breeze kicked in and I saw a flower petal blow with the wind. Just then I had the perfect idea. If I'm already this far in i might as well finish it and see where it goes. I had to take my chances now.

I never wanted ti talk to a guy so bad. I turned back to Alieen who was waiting for a answer. "I think I know what to do" I said shyly. This will get me out of my comfort zone. I wouldn't like to admit it but I was so bubbly with excitement. This was a bad idea still. Once I tell Rhys he will know that I liked him.

I sighed feeling like my head was spinning. Alieen was the best. I was going to call it quits on the whole plan of me telling Rhys that I like him. I felt confident in my idea. "What are you going to do" asked Alieen. "It's a surprise" I said with a smile.
