Supergirl7070: Book 2

Almost Done

It was a couple of weeks later and Patty was still not talking to her cousins. They tried everything to get her to speak but she would not fall for them. It hurt Patty to see them try so hard.

"Okay. So I was wondering if we could go and talk to Ron again. I mean I know he is a good guy on the inside but his powers just took over him." I hear Will say next to me. After the fight Will, Layla and I have gotten really close. Instead of me being lonely I was always with them or with one of their friends and none of them wanted to get anything out of me.

"That's a bad idea Will. You know what he can do." Layla says on the other side. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that they fight like an old couple. They have started fighting over the littlest of things. Who got to school first. Who had the most friends. I mean yeah I kind of fight with them about those thoughts but it's so old now.
"Guys it doesn't matter okay. I am seeing him anyways this afternoon so if you want to come, come." I snap at them. They look at one another and then they walk away from me. I walk to my class alone and realize that I am mad at everyone because they can't fix me and my cousins.

"You can't ignore me forever, you know that right. I wanted to tell you since we became friends but I couldn't. My mother wouldn't let me." I turn to face Nathan and Gemma in his shadow. He was looking at me and I realized that I was hurting them. Gemma has tears coming down her face and I wanted to cry to. I wrote something on a piece of my notebook paper and gave it to Nathan. He read it and then nodded his head while handing the note to Gemma. And just like that we were back to ignoring one another.

LATER THAT AFTERNOON AFTER SCHOOL...
I was sitting on the bench waiting for my cousins to arrive. I was not happy to have allowed myself to tell Nathan that he could talk to me again but I couldn't wait any longer. I was lonely and I needed someone I could understand.

"Okay what did you want." I look up to see Nathan standing over me. I stand up off the bench and stand in front of him.

"I...I made a mistake when I started to ignore you and I shouldn't have. I know that you still might be mad at me but I am willing to wait forever just to be able to be called a friend again." I look down at my feet ready to start crying.

"Okay. You think that I am mad at you for getting mad at me because I didn't tell you that I was adopted. That is messed up." He laughs and I look up at him. "You'll have to do more than that to make me mad at you." I start to smile. "There it is. There's that beautiful smile I see every time I close my eyes." I look at him startled the smile getting washed off my face in matter of seconds. I can't believe he just said that to me. I mean sure I have always liked him but i never thought that I could like him more than a cousin.

"What are you saying?" I ask him. He takes my hands and instead of telling me he shows me what he was trying to say. It doesn't take long for his lips to brush against mine. I take a breath and smile against his lips. He smiles back and just like that everything is fixed. All of the secrets have been spoken. And as soon as I finish that thought Nathan takes his lips off of mine and utters words that I never thought he would say.

"Gemma likes Warren."
