Lightning Strike

The beginning

Season 5 heroes done. Atleast they have Netflix. The shepards are nice and all but like i have told Mara a million times I don't want a family. I never did.
"Jay?"
"Yea mrs Shepard?" I say closing my laptop and placing a hair behind my ear
"You can call me Di-"
"Look Mrs shepard I have this thing where if I call adults besides Mara by their first names they think they can get close to me and I'm sorry I can do that right now."
She sighs and replies "I know this is tough for you but letting people in helps you grow"
"But it also gets me hurt." I snap
She looked depressed "Goodnight Jay" she turns out the light
"Goodnight Di-" I Gulp "Mrs shepard"
I Huff out. Too close. I should leave, things are getting too serious. I think of kitty shepard. The fragile girl I share a bedroom with.I can hear her light snoring from over here. She is the closest thing I have ever had to family. I turn my computer back on and IM this guy TBSboy.
TBSboy: hey JJ
JJtomp: Hey TBS
TBSboy: what are you doing?
JJtomp: deciding wether I should leave...things are just getting too serious
TBS and I met over chat a couple years back. He knows everything about me. Well almost everything. Can't let him get too close...even over a screen.
"Please dont leave me." A small tired voice whispers to me. I turn around to see baby blonde hair barley reaching a pink tank top and blue pajama shorts. The ten year olds lip starts to quiver and I open up my arms which she gladly snuggles into.
"Kitty, I-I'm sorry"
"Are you really going to leave me?"
I sigh. How can I leave my kitty. I let me guard down, but honsetly I don't know who wouldn't with someone like kitty.
"No. Atleast not yet."
I bring her tiny face to mine and kiss her nose. She smiles tears still staining her face. I use my thumbs to wipe them away.
Then we just kind of fell asleep there on my bed.

The next morning there is a cold spot next to me where a 10 year old should be. But I yawn and find myseld wobbling over to "my" dresser. I pull out a pull over sweatshirt that reads 'step off', then black shorts with four buttons trailing up my stomache. I start looking for my 5 year old converse which I can't find. I start ripping through everything. I run out the door and slid into the kitchen wearing my hamburger knee socks.
"Mrs shepard have you seen my converse??" I say frantically panting. They are my only pair of shoes.
"You mean these?" She says holding up a pair of pastel purple converse looking fresh out of the box. Kitty starts to giggle, freshly made cinnamon pancakes shoved in her cheeks.
"Mrs Shepard you really didn't have-"
"Darcy" she smiled "my name is Darcy" I always thought it was Diane. She extends her arms braclets jangling around her wrists. I take the shoes and she looks utterly joyful. I did that, I made some one that happy.
"Thank you Darcy" I say suprising myself. I sit down next to Kitty and plop a strawberry into my mouth. I look at Darcy and shes glowing. From her blonde bun to her apron covered in pancake batter.
"Do you mind if I walk kitty to school today?" I ask to Darcy.
"Not at all."
"Come on kittty" I laugh grabbing her tiny hand. She latches her arm around her hello kitty backpack. Her elementary school isnt far from my high school. Which I have been the new kid at for approximately 2 months. When we get there kitty gives me a quick kiss on the cheek and skips over to two little girls who are her age.
"Jessica! Aubrey!" She squeals embracing them both. I smile. Her big heart never seizes to amaze me. I pivit around and start walking twoards the high school.
The bell rings as I step onto the grounds and I run into the building and just make it to English.
"Ms. Thompson, no runningnin the halls" Ms. Jones smiled at me. This is Mrs Jones also known as Mara. She is my social worker and my english teacher wrapped into one. Wherever I go, Mara follows. She tells me I have a great future in becoming an author. Whenever, and wherever I run Mara always finds me. I tell herb she annoys me but we both know I love her insanley.
"Jay, a word please" Mara says a smile plastered on her face.
"Yes"
"I have some-"
"Jay Thompson? " I hear a british accent echo my name. Okay hes perfect. A little to perfect.
"Yea?" I say still stunned by him.
"you are gonna have to come with me"
Damn straight i'll come with you. No be strong, you dont know anything about the handsome stranger.
"ROBBIE KAY" a girl screams
I strut twoards him. "I dont know who you think you are 'robbie'" I say a little extra sarcasm on his name "but I dont have to go anywhere with you"
He raises his eyebrows
"Mrs um" he gestures to Mara
"Jones"
"Right. Well Mrs Jones could I have a second with ms thompson"
"Sure." I shoot Mara the death glare.
Robbie kay, robbie kay he just seems so famillar.
