Left In The Dark

Chapter 12: The Beauty's Eyes

Karli's P.O.V.

A/n: This amazing yet super sad song is Whiskey lullaby by Brad Paisley and some random good singer, girl, thing. I don't know. But you should really check it out and you have to watch the video for it too. Mkay. That's enough awkwardness from this gal. So carry on.

She put him out
Like the burnin end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart
He spent his his life trying to forget....

"Karli! Cut it out! I'm trying to sleep!" My mom shouted.

"Okay. Sorry. I'll shut up." I responded.

"Good. Now get to bed."

I look over to the clock to see that is was only 5 p.m. I sighed. Not the best choice to argue right now. I didn't really care for her when she was in a bad mood. Which she was in right now.

I head down the hallway quietly opening my bedroom door and twisted the knob when I shut it,so I wouldn't bother my mom. I look around my small room. With bright blue walls with green glow in the dark stars all over the ceiling. I stare at them for a while like usual. I have no life, what can I say?

With another sigh, I head over toward the opposite side of my room that had my very comfy twin sized bed. I just plopped down with a groan when my stupid hair got in the way.

I turn around onto my back when my mind shifts to Friday again. Two days ago. Why did this keep happening? Why couldn't I forget his beautiful green eyes? Ugh. I hit the side of my head hoping memories of him will come out of my ear like water.

It didn't work.

Big surprise. Please note the large amount if sarcasm.

I knew he was going to hurt me. That's why I can't let him control my thoughts. I couldn't keep him close.

I couldn't let him get close.

I can't let me get close.

I can't afford it.

He cannot find me.

Mark's P.O.V.

Two days later, and I was still thinking about her. Well this is just marvelous. I think I'm actually starting to actually like her. I might like a girl. What? No. That's not right. I, Mark Gray, cannot like a girl.

Well, obviously you can dumbass. Cause you like the most pretty girl you have ever seen. Wake up. Man up. Get over it. A voice said in my head.

My thoughts can be so asshole-ish sometimes. Seriously, I called myself a dumbass.

Ugh. What has she done to me? I'm literally sitting alone having a fight with my inner self.

I laugh to myself when I remember Karli does that with herself quite often. I think it's adorable when she does that. She just spaces off while crunching up her little nose and biting her full bottom lip.

Well great. Now I need a shower.
A very cold shower.

This is not normal. At least not for me. I was around guys fawning over girls like this often enough, but it has never been me.

I mean right now I'm thinking of her mysterious, beautiful, mischievous, intriguing, yet confusing eyes. When I say confusing, it's because what they do. Now you may be asking, how could eyes be confusing idiot? Well, call me crazy, but I swear they change. Change color that is. It might even change with  her moods. Such as, when she was hesitant or a little shy, they would be a deep blue. Yet, when she was confident they were light green with light blue and gold specks.

Her eyes captured mine. They were amazing.

Next day~

When I walked into the school, I was happy to see Karli sitting at my table with her board under her feet. She was wearing a mint green shirt with big silver zig zag stripes across the front. The sleeves reached her elbows. She was wearing a mint green beanie that was knitted to go along with it. The hair that I saw was in complete round curls. To go with the whole outfit, she had on dark skinny jeans with silver sequins on her back pockets.

She looked breath taking. I was glued to the spot. She must of felt me staring, because she lifted her head to see me.

She flashed me a blinding white grin with perfect teeth. Does this girl have at least one flaw? if not, then she was definitely going to be the death of me.

Then I noticed something.

Her eyes.

They were almost pretty as the beauty herself. The beauty's eyes were a new color.

They were blue that looked like a tropical ocean. Then I looked closer. Around her eyes was a very thin line of violet surrounding the blue.

Suddenly, my new favorite colors were blue and violet.
