She Rises

Chapter 6

As I wake up, I hear my alarm blaring. I go to shut it off and see a text.

Jace: Good morning love. I hope you slept well, and I will see you at school.

After I read that, I look back onto the conversation we had last night and almost die. Omg! What did I do? I can't believe what I told him. Everything starts rushing back from last night, the flashback, the vision. I can't help but find amusement in this. There's nothing I can do about it now. Shaking my thoughts, I go take a hot shower. I get out and dress into a Black Walk The Moon tank and some blue Bermuda shorts and my favorite black flip flops. I decide to leave my hair wavy, because I'm too lazy to straighten it today. I throw on some eyeliner, mascara, light eyeshadow and some lip gloss and head downstairs.

"Good morning sunshine" My aunt greets me as I head into the kitchen, drawn to the smell of pancakes and bacon.

"Morning auntie. Thanks for last night by the way." I give her a big smile.

"Your most welcome. I heard some crying from your room last night. Was everything ok?" she looks at me worryingly.

"Everything is fine auntie. I will tell you in time. I promise." I smile at her while she puts a plate in front of me.

"Riley! Breakfast is ready!" I hear my aunt yell as my uncle comes downstairs dressed for work.

My uncle is a doctor and has his own practice. He sits next to me and gives me a big smile and a side hug.

"Please, try and stay out of trouble today sweetie. I love you, but I don't want to hear that you got into trouble on your second day, along with your first."

I start laughing. "I will do my best to stay out of trouble." I smile.

Giving my auntie a wink she starts laughing and my uncle looks at her like she is crazy.

"Everything ok over there babe?" I hear him ask her.

"Peachy Jason!" she starts giggling while he just shakes his head.

"I'm off to work. I will see you when I get home tonight. Thanks for breakfast. I love you." I hear him say to my aunt and give her a kiss.

I watch as he walks out the door. Finally, Riley come down and sits next to me and starts digging into her breakfast.

"Mom, this is really good!" she exclaims.

"Thank you sweetie." We sit in silence and eat until it's time to go.

"Alrighty, Haseya, ready for school?" she looks over to me.

"I guess so." With that, we walk out the door.

As we get into her jeep, we start talking. I may not be able to talk to my aunt about everything yet, but I can tell Riley a few things.

"So, I had a flashback last night."

I look over to see her looking at me with a confused face. "What do you mean?"

"When I was lying in bed last night, I had a flashback of my mom." She looks at me like I had two heads. "I'm serious! It was of when I was a kid and she was giving me advice." I look at her with a sad smile.

"Well, Haseya, I don't know what to tell you." She looks over at me.

"I know, I didn't want any advice or anything, but I had to get it off my chest and I couldn't tell auntie just yet, and I know you wouldn't say anything or judge me for it." As I say this, I feel a weight lifted off me.

"I would never." She gives me a smile. "We're here." With that we get out and head into the building.

As soon as I get to my locker, I see Ashlyn and James coming towards me. "Omg, what happened in detention? Was Jace in there with the guys? If they were, did you talk to them?"
