Stuck in the Moment

Only Time can Tell

Caycee's P.O.V.

The concert was amazing. He is fantastic. I usually only listen to country like Luke Bryan. Hearing something like "Boyfriend" is a new idea for me. I love it.

Here's the weird part though. I almost love him too. The way he looks. How he talks. How he smiles. How he sounds. How he smells, it's all perfection. I've had more than my fair share of douche-bag boyfriends but he is different. Justin is nice and so easy going. He isn't like other celeberties. Not that I actually know any other celebs.

Why did he make a big deal about the full moon? It isn't that big of a deal. I'm home now and that lets my mind wonder. Who was the lady that walked me out? Why is the full moon important? Why didn't Justin kiss me? Does he like me? I answer most of the questions with a yes or no or friend or he wasn't ready. I can answer all but the full moon. There really isn't a logical answer. I brush it off as it isn't important.

My puppy jumps up on my bed and I freak out. I was in the middle of reading a Justin Bieber fan fiction. It's weird because most of them start just how me and Justin started. Coincidence maybe? Who cares. I decide that I need to go to the spa to relax. I was just walking out of the door as Maddie showed up.

"Hey girl! Where are you going? We are hanging out and there is no question to it!" Well there goes my relaxing night. "Now lets go ride Jess." Jess is one of my 10 horses. Jess is definatley my horse. Maddie is actually my cousin by blood so she has her own horse too. Hers is Nikki. Either way we finally ride our horses up the mountain to a spot Maddie and I found when we were 7. This is Maddie and I's secret spot. No one else knows about it but us.

"So, I have to tell you some stuff." I planned on telling her about Justin and I.

"Sure. You can tell me anything Caycee."

"Okay... Well remember that guy Justin?"

"The new guy? Oohh he's cute!!!"

"Yeah him. He is cute! And him and I have kinda hung out a couple times already."

"Are you serious?! Before I could even make my move with him you already got him. Is he nice? Is he amazing? Is he a good kisser? Is he good to you? Do you like him???" She asks too many questions. I can't keep up!

"Yes he is nice, yes he is amazing, I don't know yet if he is a good kisser, yes he is good to me and its kinda like he is my protector, and yes I do like him, and yes he is mine so you can't have him!" We both laugh. He is mine. I want him to be mine and only mine. Forever.

Eventually, we got back to my house and my mom told me we needed to talk. She gave Maddie a slight nod and walked over to the couch.

"So I heard that Justin came back?" I quick glanced at Maddie. Maddie took a deep breath. I looked back at my mom.

"Yeah. He is so nice. How do you know him?"

"It doesn't matter how I know... But has he told you anything about our family?"

"No... What about it?!"

"Well... You are adopted. Your biological mother and father were killed. They were killed because of their family secret. Maddie already knows, and so does Justin. Maddie and Justin are cousins. Their family is genetically improved. And so is ours. Thats how you have purple eyes and how Maddie has deep blue eyes. Our genes were changed so that we could be "perfect". However, with this, once you grow to be 18, you quit growing." That explains how my real mom used to look so young when she was old. I only remember her a little bit, but she never changed... "You will stay how you look forever. We are basically immortal. You are the youngest between Maddie and Justin. They both helped you grow up. Justin, was there when your parents died. He saved you. He then tryed to save your parents, but they were already dead by the time he came back." Tears were rolling off my face and Maddie was hugging me. I finally caught my breath enough to ask how we die.

"To die we must be strangled then torn into peices... But only few people are powerful enough to overpower us. Didn't you ever wonder why you were so strong? Yeah its because we were improved. We are ment to be the worlds "perfect people". We live forever." I started crying and ran up to my room and locked the door. Then Justin came up through my window. "Oh so now we can fly too?!" I screamed at Justin. Great. Just one more thing that I'm not normal with. All my life I just wanted to "fit in with the crowd". I never wanted to be different and I don't want to start now.

"Oh so your mom told you?"

"She's not my mom! She's my adopted mom!!! Why didn't you save me and my mom?!"

"I was too weak to save you both... I'm so sorry Caycee. Look, soon you will love being a immortal. Then you will thank me. But I guess only time will tell."
