Seeing Double

Seeing Double 27

The only thing I could hear was my rapidly increasing heartbeat. I crouched into a human ball, keeping my eyes shut, covering my eats and ducking my head. Every possible image of me getting caught by them was flashing through my mind, including getting sold overseas to some weird company for doing crimes. The parts of my life, from when I was six, trying to get rid of my fear of dogs. And by that, my parents and Adam was pushing me to pat a giant golden retriever. To those moments I shared with the Charter twins, those sweet and comforting moments, we have yet to spend with each other.

I felt my heart drop. The Charters. After this I won't be able to see them at all. I felt my eyes becoming damp as the hot tears stream down my cheeks. They were great brothers and friends to me, not forgetting Rach. During this short period, our bond had grown stronger. I felt my heart clenched. Why? Why me? What did I do to deserve this? I didn't do anything illeagal or bad, krama is obviously playing with me!

My mind was in a tumoril, thinking about the possiblilty of me getting killed and the mixed feelings I'm getting here.

"Iris" I heard a smooth voice speak.

No. I thought to myself. But I knew I didn't have a choice if he decides to take my first. I heaing my name being repeated for the billonth time. When there was a shout, "Iris Summer!" 

I jumped out of that human ball and landed on my side. Great, not only is this person going to rape me, he's trying to embarass me further. What a jerk! 

"Go drown in international waters" I muttered under my breath.

I heard a low chuckle, "Really, Iris? Really?"

 I snapped open my eyes, just to find myself staring at him standing there, an amused look spread across his handsome features. 

"And here I thought you were in trouble. Running away from someone or something?" 

I stayed there and stare for a moment longer before I was unable to control blurting out. "W-why are you h-here?" 

He raised an eye brown before feigning hurt, placing a hand to his chest."Is this because you don't want me here?"

"They were there. At school. I overheard them talking about me, taking me out." I said, finding interest on the ground.

"What?" he replied, all the playfulness from a while ago, now replaced with shock and anger.  

"They're going to take me out. Kill me, kidnap me, whatever. And they're going to do it soon, Jacob" I said, building the courage to look him in the eyes. He looked away. 

He facial expression seemed to have calmed down compared to before, but his eyes tell otherwise. I could almost tell he was about to strangle them and rip their balls off. His eyes, they were furious, like some untamed animal. But soon after, it softened as he turn to look at me.  

"Are you okay?" He spoke in a voice, like when a mother spoke to her child. 

I nod. 

He inhaled deeply and sighed, before cupping my cheek with his hand. And suddenly I was leaning on his chest, with his chin above my head. I took a deep breath in, he somehow spelled like pine trees and just well, forest. Don't get me wrong, I was saying it a good way. He smelled really nice.

We settled into a silence, before Jacob decides to break this comforting moment, "Hey, we should head back" He stood up before helping me up. I simply nod. Now was definitely a good time to chill at home to calm my overworked up heart. 

I thought I was ready. Ready to find out for real that students were kidnapped and all. Not this, not even my wildest dream, have I ever dreamt of myself getting raped. Not only that, by the principal, not by the group of douche in my classes. Just having the thought of it, sends shivers up and down my spine. 

Once I was in Jacob's car, I inhaled the air and started to relax a little. I knew I was safe around Jacob. He, being the mature, jerk and quote, unquote cool guy actually cared a lot for me. Even I could see that. But it's probably out of pity, after all I've been through, maybe he thought I was a poor little kitten. People would use puppy, but I like kittens more. 

We zooming off. I just absentmindedly stared out of the window at nothing in particular. Street lights, houses and other vehicles zoomed past us, becoming a blur. Maybe that was just me. I saw the familiar white house and the overgrown lawn, as we sped past it. This information, however, took some time to get through my damn head and before I knew it, I was staring at Jacob. 

"What?" He cocked an eyebrown, eyes still on the road. 

"You passed my house, idiot" I trailed off, not really wanting him to hear the idiot part. 

"No duh genius. Didn't I already told you, you're staying over?" 

"Er no?" Did he? 

"Yes I did doufus" 

"I'm not a doufus! Jerk!"

"Easily riled up, I see"

I shut my mouth and went back to staring out of the window. I do not get riled up easily! Well, sometimes. Only sometimes. Whatever he was still a jerk and he knows it. Annoying, prick, fat pig. Wait, pig? Really? Oh damn, I need to find better comebacks than pig, what am I? 3rd grade?

"IRIS!"

"Woah! Where's the fire!" I shouted, holding my hands out for protection.

"Fire? Really Iris?" Jacob chuckled as I felt my face heat up.

"N-not funny!"

"Get out"

"No" I protested, crossing my arms. "I'm staying here" I said boldly. Take that Jacob. 

"You sure? Its going to be pretty cold out here. You're in a car, but nonetheless cold"

I looked took in my surroundings. Big mansion. Big door. Neat lawn. Yeap, exactly what I remembered.

I opened the car door and went to stand infront of the big house. It wasn't actually big, it was humongous. I mean, its like a whale! A size of a whale. It's just huge.

I felt a tug at my sleeve. "Come'on its cold. Let's get inside"

I nod and walked beside him. Charters residence, here I come.
