Keeper

•Chapter 1•

| Christina Perri - Human |

We are in the forest near of my house, our two bodies are laid side to side in the fresh morning grass. He decides to break the silence.

- I'm sorry I can't continue.

-What? What do you mean?

-We can't.

I'm sitting cross-legged.

-Why do you say that? After all what we lived you can't give up.

-We don't have the right.

He heightens by means of his elbows.

-Well then? Since when you care about what we have the right to do or not?

-One day it could be complicated and when this day will come, we shall be obliged to stop everything.

-No! We can pass over...

I get up, offended. He reproduces my movement, we are at the moment one facing the other, he is much taller than I, I am forced to raise the head to look at him.

-Please Alana... He takes my hands.

-So what? I take off my hands, you would have them earn?

-We can't fight against.

-Oh please! Tell me instead that you don't want, I shook my head and started to leave.

-Alana!

I don't look back. I can hear him shout my name, it doesn't matter.

☆Alana☆

I look at a movie about my computer, when I hear my mom call my name.

-Alana! My mom screams.

-Yes? It was my turn to scream.

-Come!

I am going be 18 years old in a few days, I have so much to look forward!

I push my computer and get up from my bed, I take it delicately and put

it on my desk which is not far from my bed. I open my door and go down

the stairs, I am now in front of my mother who is sitting at the table in the living room, the joint hands on the table.

-What?

-I have something to tell you, sit down.

She looked serious, that would be almost make me afraid if I didn't know her.

-I do something wrong? I raise an eyebrow.

-No, no, she says, it's not for that I called you.

-So it's for what?

-Alana, she sigh, I know that that is going to seem to you unreal but, we live in a world where there are several categories of people.

-Is it a joke?

-No, I'm very serious everybody is part of a category.

-What do you mean?

-There are normal people, Troublemakers, Cheaters and Keepers.

-Why do they have different names?
