This chapter reveals what has happened to both Blue and Krista. Their pasts are slightly similar to each others. Maybe they can repair the damage that has been done. Enjoy!
Chapter 6 The Past
After my tears stopped falling, I looked to Blue's face to find a look of concern and worry.
"You ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine thanks." I said shakily, he still held me close.
"Who was it?" He asked.
"Huh?"
"Who broke your heart?"
"No he....would never do that...he d-passed away." I said quietly. I couldn't bring myself to say he died. "He was my boyfriend until...."
"I'm so sorry. I...know what it feels to lose someone."
"Y-you do?" I stammered.
"Yeah she was in the war with me."
"You went to war? But your so-" He cut me off.
"Young. I know but we were chosen specifically for the job. That was two years ago. That's how we got away with it for so long."
"...What was her name?"
"Violet."
"Named after a flower, she must have been beautiful."
"She was. Long brown hair, freckles, a cute nose and the most amazing smile. Nothing can make me forget that."
"I lost Jayden to the local gang." I whispered.
"Strange how we meet under these circumstances." He said.
"Very." I agreed.
"I'm glad we met, I'd like to get to know you better but, I don't know...."he trailed off, his face showing a tinge of blush.
"I'd like that. Do you...go to school? I mean if your in the military and all..."
"Well I just enrolled in Mayville high-" I cut him off.
"That's where I go. I can show you around." Excitement filled my voice.
"That'd be great, thanks."
"It's no problem I-" My cell phone went off, singing Almost lover by A Fine Frenzy. "Oh sorry my phone's going off." I whipped it out.
"Hello?"
"Krista? It's Aurora!! Where the hell are you!?!? You were suppose to be at the parking garage an hour ago!!!" she roared through the phone. I pulled the cell phone from me ear. I covered the mouth piece, still able to hear her screaming from the other side of the phone. "Umm I wish I could stay but I have to go before my friend skins me alive, see you around?"
"Yeah..." he said sounding unsure.
"Bye." I started to walk off but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him. Shocked, he kissed me with care. I threaded my fingers through his thick hair, kissing him back to match his hunger. I breathed in his scent. Mint chocolate mmmm.... I practically purred. His arms wrapped around my waist, mine around his neck and as I did so he trailed kisses down my neck. "I'm sorry but I have to go. I don't want to leave." I murmured in his ear, panting.
"Then don't..." his voice husky, deep with lust.
"I'm sorry....Jayden." He heard me say that, letting go of me immediately. "Go meet your friends. I'll see you on Monday." Our hands lingered on each others until the distance was too great. "Oh and by the way, you might not be able to recognize me when we get to school. Trust me." I said and left with those last few words.
Blue's POV (Sunday night)
God, I didn't know what to do with myself. I was staring at my bedroom ceiling, dreaming about Krista. How can I get over Violet so fast after I met her? It's just so strange. I've never felt that kind of reaction to Violet like I did with Krista. What is this?
Krista's POV (Sunday night)
I had just finished my homework and five page essay on the history of art. Aurora was on my bed painting her toe nails, I was sitting at my computer desk, printing out my essay. It was quiet, too quiet. She's thinking about something but what? I thought. Actually I was a little scared, she was never this quiet.
"Do you know what today is?"
"What?" She gave me a sad look, I shifted in my chair and glanced at the calendar. "Jayden's birthday."
"Oh..." was all I could say.
"You need to accept that he won't be coming back."
"I ready have."
"Are you sure?"
"I am."
"It's been a year already. I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing, everyone says sorry when it was no one's fault."
"You don't even blame the gang?"
"I don't need to blame anyone. Just myself."
"Krista...."
"Please don't. Just drop it." She was quiet for a few more moments and shifted to the edge of my bed.
"Soooo who were you with Saturday night?"
"Well if you hadn't dressed me up maybe I wouldn't have had all those guys staring at me and trying to spike my drink. AND TRISTAN KISSED ME WHO I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO RAPE ME AND I MET BLUE WHO PRACTICALLY LOOKS LIKE JAYDEN AND I'M NEVER LETTING YOU DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!" I said loud and clear. Her eyes wide, she started to smile then she laughed, hysterically in fact. I glared at her.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" I yelled.
"My plan worked. You finally got a boyfriend. I win!!!! Success is in my grasp!!!" She shouted to the heavens.
"ARE YOU INSANE? I ALMOST GOT RAPED BY TRISTAN!!!!"
"Are you serious? You think he would do that? He's loved you since first grade."
"What?" I said in a small voice.
"Tristan has loved you since first grade!" she sounded it out for me.
"I thought he just wanted me for sex."
"Wow you're clueless. He gets this look in his eyes, practically follows you like a lost puppy, every time he sees you. I wasn't expecting him to get in the mix, then again I should have planned that to happen. But anyway so his name is Blue, what else?"
"That's really it, except his girlfriend died a couple years back."
"It means you're meant for each other."
"I don't know, we barely no each other. Hey you're getting off topic so I won't be mad at you!"
"Did you have sex?"
"OF COURSE NOT!!!"
"Darn and I was hoping for something juicy."
"Go to hell Aurora." She threw a pillow at me and I dodged. I fell off my chair, rolling on the carpeted floor, picked up the pillow and threw it back at her. We ended up throwing pillows at each other until we were so tired we were on our backs on my bed.
"Well I'd better get going, school's tomorrow and I want to get some sleep, see ya!" She got up, grabbed her purse and left. I looked at the clock. IS IT SERIOUSLY 11 'O CLOCK??!?!? Well I might as well get ready. I packed my lunch, brushed me teeth and changed into my pjs. I yawned, not realizing I was this tired. I layed on my bed, thinking about Blue. Do I really like you Blue? Can I simply forget about Jayden that easily? My heart was pulling in twenty different directions. God why is so love confusing? But isn't it always?
