This is a short story that follows and focuses on Bella before she met Cleo and Rikki. This is a prequel (meaning her backstory) life growing up in her hometown and how she dealt with being the "only mermaid" this short story will show all the chall...
It's morning, I look down at my side Bella Is laying in a ball curled up facing me. She's asleep. Her hands are rapped around my torso. I must have fallen asleep last night. We kissed for the first time. I must have fallen asleep afterwards. Kissing Bella is the last thing I remember. I'm not going to move because I don't want to wake her. A loud noise comes from Bella's bedroom door.
Kyler- " Bella open up I need to borrow your makers."
Oh shit that's one of Bella's brothers. I quickly get up out of Bella's bed. I accidentally woke her up. She looks up at me from the bed.
Bella-" so you're the type of guy to kiss a girl and leave the next morning without a goodbye?" I say in a sarcastic tone.
Ronan-" that's not it, you're brother Kyler is wanting to borrow your markers. What do I do he's going to see me."
Bella-" so what my parents don't know you're here." He looks at me for a moment and it hits me.
Bella-"ohhh you mean he's going to tell them"
Ronan-" exactly that"
I can tell that Bella's panicked now. I can hear the panic in her voice.
Bella-" okay get in there" she pulls me into her closet. Then it goes all black. I whisper to myself.
Ronan-" well almighty then"
Bella:
I open my door.
Bella-" can I help you"
Kyler-" it's about time you take forever the answer the door"
Bella-" well I am a heavy sleeper"
Kyler-"markers?"
Bella-" here" I push the box of marks on is chest and shut the door in his face.
I hear his footsteps move away from the door followed by footsteps going downstairs. I walk over to my closet and open it and pull Ronan out of it.
Ronan-" hello there"
Bella- "I want to show you something"
Ronan and I walk down the stairs and leave my house. We continue to walk near the cave and we both enter. I plan on showing him my power. I want him to fully understand me a bit more. It's exciting to share this with someone. He gets me I think he truly understands me and wants to understand me.
My cave is quiet and peaceful. The pool of water swishes around and you can hear the sound of the Sea. It's very calming. After we kissed last night neither of us have brought it up again. I wonder if he regrets it.
Ronan-" so what were you wanting to show me?"
I grab his hand and hold it. I use my other hand and I use my power to make the water pool into a jelly substance. After a bit, it goes back to regular water.
Ronan-" you can do that with you hands?"
Bella-"yeah I know I talked about it but I waned to actually show you my power, and I thought it would be best to do it in private." He looks at me and smiles.
Ronan-" Bella I wanted to ask you something"
Bella-" okay what is it"
Ronan-" I was wondering if you to be my girlfriend."
Bella-" oh wow I didn't expect that"
Ronan- "I'm sorry I asked."
Bella-" that's not it though I just got excepted into a school but it's actually against my will I have to go. My parents don't want to take care of me anymore."
Ronan-" OK is it white like 30 minutes away? Bella I can handle that I could pick up an extra job and-"
Bella-" it's not that I don't want to be you're girlfriend Ronan... it's just that I have to go live in another country."
Ronan-" what do you mean.. I.. Bella?"
Bella-" it's not that I don't want to be your girlfriend. I want to trust me."
Ronan-" but.."
Bella-" I want you to be happy" he notices the tear falling across my face, he comes closer to me and hugs me and I hug him back tightly. It's quiet for about five minutes. Neither of us know what to say. Still in his arms I talk out loud.
Bella-" I don't want to leave you Ronan"
Ronan-" then don't, you're parents can't make you go you can come live with me and my family there's plenty of room"
Bella-" they are my parents I have to do what they say"
Ronan-" that's such bullshit! Just because they don't want to take care of you anymore. Doesn't mean that you should have to go to another country." He says still holding me and after he says that he kisses the top of my head.
Bella-" I don't want to go.. but I have to. I'm not going to know anyone there. I won't have you or Amelia and you two are my only friends.
Ronan-" friends?"
Bella-" you know I didn't mean it like that."
Ronan-" we won't be able to have a happy ending with you moving away"
Bella-" I'll call you. We won't be together but I'll still be able to hear your voice"
Ronan-" I know that's true but eventually you're gonna go and you'll start a new life. I'll miss you Bella."
What he said, was eventually true. I did start a new life, and after a while, we stopped talking. I miss him whether it was for good or bad I loved him at one point of my life, and I'll always remember him.
Bella- get into the water with me I want to be able to swim in the cave with you.
The two of us get into the pool of water in my cave. Ronan takes off tee shit and his pants so he's just wearing shorts. And we both jump in. After 10 seconds of hitting the water, my tail appears he's never seen my tail up close before but I wanted to show him at least one time.
Ronan- " you're beautiful. Everything about you is beautiful."
Ronan slowly it leans into kiss me. And just like the first time we kissed it felt right. I pull him in closer towards me our body's are now touching. I put my hand on the lower part of his torso.
He puts his hands of on my face and we just lean stay like this for a moment and just like the first time we kissed I can feel his breath on my face and I can here him breathing.
