When The Magic Breaks Loose

chapter 9

We drove home in silence late that night and we both went straight to bed. The next morning my mom stayed home from work and let me stay home from school. Jason had called me halfway through the school day to figure out where I was but I never answered him. I made sure my mom ate something and made myself something to and we watched tv. My mom kept crying in a ball next to me as we did. It stayed like that for most if the week but I had taken to reading instead of just watching tv but I stayed by my mom on the couch keeping an eye on her. It hurt that I didn't know what to do ti make it better.
On Thursday my sister came home to try and cheer me up and took me out with her to get manicures. It was nice even though we didn't talk much either. It would have been nice but Veronica called and was yelling at me asking where the hell I was when I answered her finally and I told her that my dad died and she had gone silent and I hung up. After that my sister took me home and I sat back on the couch.
Friday I went back to school with reluctance and had a normal day. Except that I couldn't really look at Jason to tell him what happened and why I hadn't answered. So he kept his space but still hung out with me, Veronica, and Stacy. My mom agreed to let Veronica spend the night so she was going home with me. We got there and she took care if me while I cried over something someone had said to me after I had told them that my dad died. I was glad that my mom had went to work and wasn't there because I know my mom wouldn't of let it go and would have tried to fix it. I had gotten my mom to write on the note I had a stomach virus on a note to excuse my absence instead of the truth so I wouldn't get bombarded by councilors. Things went back to normal for a bit except next wendsday when I got home my mom was crying in the basement where he always used to go and I was so scared and worried I'd lose her to I called ny grandma I she came over and snapped my mom out of it. Then things calmed down but it wasn't the same and we excepted it never would be. I had told Jason after that about my dad and everything that happened and at first he was upset I didn't tell him but then he was very understanding and held me.
The next day I got back to normal teasing with Stacy and Veronica. I even sneeked a quick kiss on Jason in the hallway saying "Hey,cutie" and he laughed as I walked away a little bit and he grabbed my hand and spun me back to him and caught me and said "you really thought you'd get away that easily?" and I laughed and stood back up and sayed "maybe..." with a smirk. Since it was now the end of the day I texted Veronica I was going to hang with Jason and then we hopped on his bike and rode to our rock. Once we were there I hopped off and leaned against the rock waiting for him. He walked over and grabbed me around the waste and smiled with a mischievous glint in his eye and we shot up. Suprising me that when I grabbed on to him I shocked him and that made him jerk for a second then he quickly landed on top of the rock and let go. Then we both sat down and it only took him two seconds to day "what was that?" and I just kinda shrugged and looked down at my feet dangling over the side of the rock. He took my hand which made me look at him and he said in an almost whisper "was that your magic? Is that one of the things you can do?" this made me glance away before giving him a slight nod and he just stared at me for a minute before a small smile crept up his face and he said "does this mean you might actually start using your magic?" and I shrugged and sighed before saying "I don't know ok? You startled me and I zapped you. I didn't mean to do it but I did and honestly I'm not sure how I felt about it." at this he looked at me for a second before he said "well... If you do want to start using your magic... Or just improve your control, I would be happy to help and whether you mean to do it or not, thank you for letting me be one of the few people to see any of your powers." and I looked at him and sighed before laying my head on his shoulder and saying "thanks, but don't tell anyone ok?" and he answered "ok, on one condition" and I leaned away from him and gave him a skeptical look and said "what?" and he got a big smile and said "I want to see your wings" and I looked at him confused "why?" and he says "I just really want to see them, you've seen mine and I'm sure Veronicas I want to see yours" and I sighed grudgingly "fine" and I took off the Jacket I was wearing showing my ocean blue flowy take top underneath and made them appear and I turned my back to him so he could see and I heard him take a deep breath and go "woah" and I wondered what he was seeing since I haven't looked at them in awhile and I know they sometimes change shades of blue over the design on them and he reached out and touched one gently and I felt a tingle up my spine and I heard him jump back and he said "oh shit what did I do" and I turned around and looked at him "what are you talking about?" and he said "well..umm...hold on" and he took his wings out and I gasped before he could reach out to take us back down and I said " what happend to your wings!?" and he looked at me confused and said "what do you mean?what's wrong with them?" and I just stared and then stuttered before I said " they.. They're lined with... Blue...like my blue around the outside rim" and his eyes got wide as he said "that's what happening to yours... But with my silver blackish color... It kinda looks cool actually but still. Oh by the way it's cool how your wings change shade" and I force a laugh before I said "thanks... But are you serious?" and he bit his lip and nodded still looking at mine and I quickly put them away and shrugged on my jacket again before I said " how could this happen?" and he said "I... I don't know all I did was touch them and than I felt a tingle up my back and saw my color creep up around yours." and I just stared at him before I said "let's go" and he brought us down to the ground and he said when we got on the bike "where to?" with his wings now away to I said "the library, the fairy library" and we took off.
