Hug's and kisses, X's and O's

Chapter 3

"Good morning princess, happy 16 birthday," a friendly voice said.

I opened my eyes and it was Toby. What was he doing here, his visit was really surprising. His hazel eyes were red and his face looked tired. His dark skin was pale and his brown hair was darker. Toby wasn't the Toby I knew. What I saw was a new creation.

"Thanks Toby," I said in a passive voice, as I grabbed his hand and kissed his cheek. His face was cold as if he was dead inside. He kissed me back as he left the trace of death in my face. This could be my last birthday and couldn't make me feel better with that expression.

"What's wrong Toby?" I whispered to his ear, as I got out of my covers.

"Princess, I'm sorry," he muttered as tears fell of his eyes.

"What's going on?" I asked as I woke up of my dream.

When I woke Bella came running to my room, with a look of death. She aggressively opened the door and screamed her way to the floor. I got out of my covers and run towards her. She was crying in pain and her face had no expression. She touched her stomach and repeated saying 'my baby,' as I asked myself is she knew it was birthday.

"Bella what is going on?" I asked in a shaky voice.

"Toby... he-he-he's" She Stirred to say her sentence.

"Toby what?" I yelled as I repeated three more times.

"He's Dead," she struggled to say.

Toby Vancouver had died. His death was tragic. He was found dead outside of motel parking lot, he had fallen off his bike and since he didn't own a helmet he opened and fractured his skull. The worst part is that he didn't even said goodbye, or something. Bella's long black hair was all over her face, her hands were shaking and her hands were covered in tears. I couldn't handle myself but to cry. I thought that I was going to die before Toby but he died before.

I went to Wren's office to ask him for support. When I entered his room he had decorated the whole place in balloons and had a present on top of the sofa. When I went to grab the present Wren, came inside and looked at me with his green eyes. The freckles on his skin were lighter than ever.

"Happy birthday," He said in a neutral voice. I couldn't handle but to cry. Tears fell into my pale skin and the freckles in my face were gone. My blond hair got tangled in my hands and pulling my hands away only made it worse. Behind me some strong arms grabbed me. It was Wren. He hugged me so tight that I couldn't escape. I wasn't complaining but I felt safe. Wren moved to see my face his face was covered in tears. I don't know if it was my mood or my insecurity but I couldn't control my emotions. I kissed Wren again. His lips touched mine and I couldn't control myself, that kiss felt so right and so wrong at the same time. No control came out of my mind. I wish it never ended but all good things come to an end. We separated and he looked deep into my eyes.

"Why do we always kiss?" He said in a very comic way.

"I don't know," but I was in no humor to laugh.

"Well can you atleast open your present?" he asked once again.

When I opened the present their was this beautiful Diamond necklace and a pair of diamond earrings. As he explained that his father sold Diamonds for living.

"When did you find him?" I asked as Wren sat me next to him in the sofa.

"We found him a few days ago," He muttered.
