Lightning Strike

kthree

Robbie
I carried her only bag to my truck still pondering on what had happened back there. Am I admitting new colors? I have had powers since I was 11. I have lighting and it can come out of my hand. Thats why I knew I was perfect for the role of Tommy on heroes reborn. Sure he didnt shoot lightning. But it was a show for people like me. People like me can sit at home and Relate to the tv show more than anyone.

Jay tucks a piece of hair behind her ear and smiles showing off her dimples. I look at her and she smirks. "See something you like?"

"Mhmhm"

She rolls her eyes and chuckles. "Get in the damned truck Robbie."

I shook my head. Why did I say that. I plop the black bag in my back seat I slam it shut.  We ride in silence just like before.

"Love, would you please talk to me? I'm sorry I got in your personal space earlier."

"Its fine Robbie."

"Then talk to me?"

"No thank you."

"Why not? "

"Because if we talk too much I will let you in. I absolutely cannot do that."

"Because your scared."

"Because I know how to learn from my mistakes."

Was she hurt before? Did someone take advantage of her? These are all things I would know if she'd let me in.

"I only want to know the basics."

"Like?"

"Your favorite Color."

"Green." My heart flutters. Thats my lightning.

"Why?"

She looks at my hands. "Because its the color of nature. It makes me happy."

"Okay. Favorite food?"

"Macaroni and cheese." She laughs "why would you want to know that?"

"Because it is a fact about you."

She blushes and we drive in a new comfortable silence. Until she turns on the radio of my pickup. She flips through the stations. We hear anaconda, drunk in love, and bees in the trap all earning a disgusted face from Jay. Then she finds irresistible by Fall out boy and turns the volume up to max. She opens the sun roof and sticks her hands out yelling the lyrics. Wow. She amazing. But she doesnt want me to come in. Maybe I should lay off with the flirting.

Jay
Three reasons I like robbie. A) after I tell him about not letting people in hes still trying
B) he treats me like a person instead of some lonely orphan.
C) he stares. Usually I would think that creepy but hes cute when he does it. I smile thinking of my three reasons. But then It fades when I think of my original list of why we can't be together.
He just so mmmhm. Purple lighting is sparking off my finger tips and robbie partially sees. Not before I pull my sleeves over my hands and breathe. How did he do that? I can't really control my power much but only happens when I'm angry. He's the only boy I have known that can do that to me with just me thinking about him. We pull up to the air port and I grab my little black bag out of the backseat of his pickup. We are walking across the walkway and robbie grabs my hand. I feel tingles. But two milliseconds later he is yanking me causing me to spin into him and wraps he hands around my back. And I see a giant city buss speed by where I had just been standing. I shake looking up at him.

"You have to be more careful, Love."

I nod still looking at him. He unlocks his protective hold on me. Still holding my hand we continue to the airport. I breathe.

Robbie
That was close. She almost died. And when I saved her. Purple lightning was in her eyes. I could see it. Sparking up a storm when she looked at me. I'm not admitting new colors. She is like me. This funny beautiful girl. We cram into the elevator. She is forced to be close to me. And this time she lets go of my hand to snuggle into me and my jacket. Her hands are around my back. I close the hug and rest my chin on her head.
I smile down at my little lightning girl.

☆☆hey its jay. I havent updated this one in a while. Hope you like it.
