Black Sapphire

Chapter 3

"OMFG!!!! Your Blake! Do you know how much I have missed you?" I yelled excitedly. I pull him in for a hug just to feel his embrace once more. I can feel the awkward stares of Lilliana and buff boy, I really need to learn his name. I feel a tight squeeze from Blake as he digs his face into my hair. I can feel the hot tears burning on the back of my eyelids. Tears of happiness, love, and more happiness. His tears are dripping on to my hair, too. After holding this embrace for what felt like forever, we finally let go and take a step back to look at each other.

"I finally found you, my little Nashville." Blake says as he pushes a strand of my bangs behind my ear. His face is stained with tear drops. At the same moment that I see his tears, he sees mine and reaches to wipe them away.

"Okay, yo! What is going on here?" buff boy asks. It's kinda funny the way he throws his hands out in front of him and acts like a girl with the whole attitude thing!

"Ever, this is Tennessee. When we were in day care we were like the hottest couple on campus! Then Tennessee had to move to Vancouver. But I always waited for the old saying to come true. 'If you love something set it free. If it comes back to you it's yours. If it doesn't it was never to be in the first place.' And no matter what country we live in love prevails." Blake explains to buff boy (I should probably start calling him 'Ever')

Blake looks down at me and into my eyes. He softly smiles, but it's enough to make my heart melt. He wraps his arm around my shoulders and leans closer to me. I nuzzle up right into his side, all without moving our eyes from one another's. We just connect, as if we are two pieces of a puzzle that are meant to fit like we are. It feels like a movie where they just spend two minutes mirroring each other's actions and holding on to each other. I feel like I could spend forever in his arms. I wrap my arms around his neck. We slowly lean in for a kiss. As our lips touch I feel a giant shock run through my veins. The world goes black and I no longer can stay awake. Blake screams and then I'm out cold.

---------------------------------------------

Beep. Beep. Beep.

My eyes flutter open. I find a room full of monitors and hospital-y stuff. I turn my head to find someone to remind me what happened. No one. I can't move out of this hospital bed, that is actually in our spare room. Where is my phone? I look around and finally find it on a tray. I call my father's cell because they haven't set up our home phone yet. He picks up on the first ring.

"Tennessee? Is that you?" The panicking part of his voice is really noticeable. I'm starting to wonder what happened to me and how long I've been out of it.

"Yeah. Where are you?" As soon as I finish my sentence I see him in the doorway. Apparently, my parents didn't know I was waken up soon.

"Where do you want to start with this story of yours? Cause there I lots to tell." Dad starts. What happened??

"I went to the park." I lied. I knew but I wanted to see where he was going to go with this.

"Well, you went to the park with Lilliana and her friend. You guys were just goofing off and you ran into an electrical pole and were electrocuted. You haven't woken up for 2 days."

Wait. What did he say? I was there with Blake! I know it! We connected!!

I quickly pick up my phone that was on the tray again.

3:12

Lilliana would be outside any minute now!! I have to catch up with her and find out what happened.

I pull out needles and cord and tubes from my veins.

"What are you doing?? Leave them in!!" Dad yells. He starts freaking out and trying to put them back in. I pull one last clip of my fingertip and bolt out of the room. I race down the stairs. I hear the loud school bus engine from out front of the house. I burst through the front door.

"Lilliana! Lilliana!" I scream running to the bus. In the windows I see Blake's face and know that he was no dream. Lilliana looks over as she climbs down the steps of the bus. I catch up to her as she is on her lawn, looking dumbstruck. Blake and Ever meet us in our little chat spot.

"What the hell happened to me?!" I say very loudly. I am like freaking out right now! Kids in the bus are staring at us. But right now I don't give a damn.

Blake, Ever, and Lilliana exchanged glances, as if to to say, 'It's time to tell her.' and 'Why do I have to be here' and lastly from Lilliana, 'I'm still freaked out myself!'

Blake took my hand in his and led me towards the park where we had first reunited. Ever and Lilliana followed a few yards behind us. Seriously, what the hell?!

I freeze in my place unable to move. Blake looks at me with a worried face. Ever and Lilliana come rushing over. The world goes black and I feel an electric rush course through my veins. It's the same feeling I had when Blake kissed me. I suddenly see an image.

The reuniting is happening over again. What the bloody hell?

Blake looks into my eyes, again. I've had déjà vu. But never something like this. He smiles softly while staring into my eyes. I feel my heart melt again. I feel his strong, sturdy arm gently fasten around my small shoulders. I try to take everything in. His compassionate smile. His angelic hair, perfectly falling onto his forehead. His blue-green eyes, like a whirl of the sea and the grass colliding together to create a paradisiacal illusion. I want to stay in this blissful heaven for the rest of time. I want to be with Blake for the rest of time. To feel his embrace every chance I can get and know that he will be the love of my life. My soulmate. My forever and for always.

I roll my arms around Blake's neck. We both easily lean in for a kiss. I can feel my bones cringe up waiting for that big shock and the scream. Our lips touch and there it goes. I feel the disturbance race through my blood. I hear the shrilling cry from Blake and the blackness over comes me.
