Never Be Alone(A Ninjago Fanfic)

Chapter 10

Hi guys! Enjoy my writing!

We all turn to make sure Misako is ok.  She is fine and awake.  That's a relief.

​"Thank goodness you are ok Misako!"  I shout happily.  "I'm so sorry that I brought you all into this mess."  I say.

​"It's not your fault.  There was nothing you could do about it."  Sensei reassures me.  "I think we all need a break."  My uncle says nodding at Cole.

​Cole steps in front of me and pulls out 2 tickets.  He gets onto one knee and says, "Cat, will you go to the Imagine Dragons concert with me?"

​I scream.  "YES YES YES!!!!  OMG!!!!!  YES!!!!"  I jump up and down like he had asked me to marry him.  When I saw the looks on everyone's faces I stopped, my cheeks burned a bright red.  "What?  Can't I be happy?"  I asked sheepishly.

​Everyone laughed.  "You can be happy, we just weren't expecting that reaction."  Uncle said happily.

​"Great!  So when is the concert?"  I said.

​"Tomorrow."  Cole said.  My eyes widened.

​"Well we should be on our way to Ninjago now!"  I exclaimed.

​"I'm on it!"  Nya said running to the bridge.  Soon we were on our way to Ninjago, and the Imagine Dragons concert.

​We all went in, to have dinner.  I sat next to Cole as usual, Lloyd on the other side of me.  Both ninja were very protective of me, and both disapproved of my disappearance after running off the ship.  I was happy to hear that they cared so dearly for me.

​As we ate I reflected on my life.  I had always had someone there, to help me, be with me, and keep me company.  But alas, when I was forced into the caverns I was alone, truly.  I always had friends in my life, but I never felt like I was cared for, I always felt alone.  I was truly alone in the cavern.  I hated it; a deep depression took me over, along with the evil of the place.  Then I met these wonderful ninja and family.  They took away my depression and evil, and I found myself again.

​I wasn't alone anymore.

​They truly cared.

​I finished my dinner and excused myself.  I walked out to the deck of the Bounty.  I stared at the stars as tears formed in my eyes.  I hadn't seen the stars in so long.  Just like I hadn't seen my family in forever.  My thoughts drifted.

​I thought of my family.  I knew my mom was fine, but I still wondered.  I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that something I was unaware of was going on.  Dad, oh, just his name took me to the brink of tears.  I missed my stubborn father.  I don't care that he's stubborn I know he loves me.  That's all that matters to me.  I wondered if he was ok, I know he must've been crushed when I was captured.  I can't believe this but I actually miss my little brother Matthew.  To me Matt is a mix of Lloyd and Cole.  He is strong, and tough.  It takes a lot to get him to the point of tears.  He is strong, but yet soft and gentle.  He's nice and always makes me smile; those three are so alike it's scary, almost.  I don't know how he's done growing up with the knowledge that his sister has been taken captive and is gone.  I feel so bad for him.  We were close, like best friends that knew how to get under each other's skins.  We used to play together all the time.  Oh how I miss him.  The whole time I was thinking this over I was on the brink of tears, but yet I smiled.

​I hadn't realized that Cole had come out after me.  I was staring at the sky when he put his arm around me scaring me to death.  I had sat down without realizing, Cole was right next to me looking at me smiling.  When I faced him he saw the tears in my eyes.  His calm happiness faded into worry and concern.

​I sighed and smiled.  "I can't believe it."  I said with a small chuckle.  Cole looked at me, clearly confused.  "I can't believe that I haven't thought about my family until now, really."  I said sadly, while still smiling.  "You and Lloyd remind me so much of my brother.  You'd like him, so would Lloyd."  I say turning back to the stars.  I sigh again.

​"How come you never think of them?"  Cole asked.

​"I guess I either never have time, my mind is somewhere else, or I'm doing something."  I pause, then suck in a sharp breath at a sudden realization.  "Grandad, Meme!"  I say in a whisper-shout.

​"Who?"

​"My grandparents.  I just remembered them."  I say saddened even further.  "They both had just died before I was captured..." I trail off as fresh tears threaten to spill over.

​"I'm sorry."  Cole said sincerely.  I sigh and leaned onto him.  I felt so sad, so ashamed.

​I made a vow to myself right then and there that there would be no more tears or sadness, only hope and happiness.  I wouldn't allow myself to cry, I've done that enough.  I have had enough.

​I didn't let the tears escape.  I refused.  Cole and I then made our way to our room where we went to sleep and awaited the concert.
