Secrets

Chapter 1

Run. That was all I could do. I ran past trees all I could think about was my family as I ran for my life. Out of nowhere something hit my shoulder I screamed in pain. Pain was all I could feel as I kept running refusing to look behind me in fear that something or someone would grab me if I looked. All of a sudden "Evelyn "I heard someone calling my name from beside me. I looked beside me for nothing to be there I looked to the other side and felt something heavy land on my chest and suddenly there was pain as I screamed I opened my eyes to see was in my room and it had only been a night mare. I looked at my chest to see a black ball of fluff on my chest. Then a little fluffy black and white head popped out and meowed. My little kitten Oreo was on my chest. I heard giggling right beside me. I looked to the side to see my little brother Jordan giggling.  "Hey monster" I said to him in a groggy voice while smiling at him. He hugged me tightly and then ran out the door with the kitten in his arms.

I looked at the clock to see it said 8 o'clock in the morning. I got out of bed and started getting ready for the day. I put on a cream knitted sweater with dark skinny jeans. Once I was done I went downstairs and the smell of pancakes came to my nostrils. Jordan ran up to me with his Spider-man toy in his hand. "Eve come play Spidey with me". Jordan said with a huge smile on his face. "Evelyn can you come help me set the table please" my mother called from the kitchen." Sorry monster I can't play with you right now. "I said with a frown. He shrugged and went to play with the kitten. As I walked to the kitten I saw my mother by the stove making pancakes with chocolate chips in them. "Good morning "I said in a chirpy voice while taking the plates and cutlery to the table. Once the pancakes were done and put on each plate I heard heavy footsteps coming down the stairs. My older brother Owen walked in and sat down in his chair with a thump. "Good morning Owen" I said in a cheerful voice. You see I'm not a morning person and neither is anyone else in my family but for some reason I was very cheerful today. My brother grunted and started eating his breakfast. Soon everyone joined the table and ate their breakfast in silence well except for the noise effects Jordan was making.

*~* *~*

I pulled my black converse on and my letter man jacket and walked out the door with Jordan holding my hand walking right beside me with his flashing Spider-man shoes. We were currently going to the park because we got kicked out of the house for my father's dumb weekly meeting that takes place every Saturday. Why? I have no idea. Every time I try to ask him what his job is or why I need to leave before his weekly meetings start he starts to yell at me. So I have nothing to do other than bring Jordan my little 5 year old brother with me to the park. As we walked to the park I could see children walking, climbing, running, and playing at the park. Jordan started tugging at my sleeve I looked down only to see him looking up at me with a look of excitement and asked "Eve can I go play with the other kids?" I nodded in response as he ran to the other children excitement written all over his face.

As I watched my brother climb the spider web and pretend to be Spider-man I walked to the park bench and sat down. I took my phone out and plugged my headphones in. The song Heathens by Twenty One Pilots started playing. Before the song could finish Jordan was standing in front of me looking board as ever. After putting my phone and earphone away I got up took Jordan's hand and started walking. "Were are we going?" Jordan asked. "For a walk" I answered. Five minutes into the walk Jordan started complaining that he was hungry so we walked to McDonald's. After Jordan ate his food and played at the park in McDonald's we started to walk back home when all of a sudden I heard the sound of a skateboard very close to me. I looked up to see a boy on a skateboard rolling dangerously close to me while he was doing something on his phone by the time I could react the boy crashed into me sending me to the ground.

As I landed on the ground I noticed  something heavy land on top of me. I opened my eyes to come face to face with a pair of blueish grey eyes. "Um....... I'm so sorry I didn't mean to bump into you I......"I said as I tried to muster something to say in front if this gorgeous boy. He continued to stare at me until we heard a giggle. I automatically looked to the direction were the giggles were coming from only to see Jordan standing there." Are you going to kiss her?" he asked. "WHAT?!?" "JORDAN DON'T SAY THAT" I yelled at him before turning to face the good looking boy and said "Um.......do you mind maybe getting up? "I asked in a shy voice "Oh yeah .....uh sure.......sorry" He said in a dazed state "Sorry for bumping into you." He said while scratching the back of his neck. As he got up he held out his hand for me to take. As I was about to take his hand I saw his phone on the floor and a text popped up on the screen. As I picked up his phone to give back to him I got a glimpse of the text message from

Xavier Cohen: S.O.S. The Ferocious attacked.

As I gave his phone back the only thing going through my head was who is Xavier Cohen? As he helped me up. "Thanks for helping me up" I said in a shy voice. He nodded as he read the text once he was done reading the text he looked at me and smiled the stuck out his hand "Hi my name is Wyatt" "Hi my name is Evelyn" I replied shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you Evelyn and I truly am sorry for bumping into you". "My name is Jordan I like Spider-man. Do you like Spider-Man?" Jordan asked out of the blue. Wyatt laughed and then smiled and said "Of course who doesn't like Spider-man?" I looked at Jordan who was gushing with excitement. Just as I was about to make up an excuse to leave my cell phone started to ring.

I picked up not bothering to look at the caller ID. "Hello?" "Hey Evelyn you can come home now the meeting is over." A male voice answered "Oh okay be there in like half an hour" "THIRTY MINUTES!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU" "Jordan got hungry so we had to walk to McDonald's BECAUSE YOU GUYS WOULDN'T LET US COME HOME UNTIL YOUR STUPID MEETING IS OVER" "ugh okay stay there I'm coming to pick you up oh and while you're there get me a happy meal oh and a large fries" Owen said. "ANYTHING ELSE YOUR HINES?"I yelled through the phone." Yeah get me a muffin and coffee for dad" he replied. "Of course Owen whatever you say" I replied through gritted teeth and clenched fist with sarcasm laced in my voice. Once I said my brother's name Wyatt's turned to look at me. As I ended the call with Owen I took Jordan's hand and said goodbye to Wyatt and was about to walk back into McDonald's Wyatt suggested that he wait with me. I couldn't trust Wyatt but as soon as Jordan heard he ran up to Wyatt and started talking about Spider-Man.

*~* *~*

I slammed my bedroom door and ran to my bed ready to fall face first into my pillow to scream at the top of my lungs. You see when Owen finally arrived at McDonald's he saw Wyatt with us and let me tell you if looks could kill Wyatt would be dead. Once Wyatt saw Owen he glared at him as well. It turns out they have already met and area not on good terms.  So after a few threats from each other and couple of punches Owen grabbed my arm and picked Jordan up and brought us to the car where he cursed a few times while covering Jordan's ears  then scolded me for 'hanging out' with Wyatt and to never trust him. So here we are in my room with my face currently in a pillow screaming at the top of my lungs. Once I was done I went back downstairs to see my father looking very angry. I'm guessing Owen told dad that I was 'hanging out' with a boy. As I descended the stairs he started scolding me and told me to never talk or hang out with Wyatt.
