Bite me

T w e l v e

"I wanna get mom a rose!" I smiled widely as my father stood in front of me. He didn't smile and he just took my hand. Quickly I snatched a rose ignoring my father's disapproval glare. I was only 12 and I loved my mother. She was brave and beautiful. I had none of her traits. She had beautiful golden locks and her skin was kissed perfectly by the sun. Her Green eyes were practically emeralds and she had the body of Aphrodite. I eagerly looked down at the rose, already picturing my mother's smile and the warmth in her voice as she thanked me. She was my everything- "We're here." my fathers silk and deep voice called out with stress, interrupting my thoughts. I looked up, the happiness suddenly gone from my face. My father's work place loomed over me and I gulped feeling puny in its shadow. Why were we here? Where was mom? I held the rose and looked up at him and he looked down, frowning, "Come....come on...let's see your mother." Suddenly I no longer wanted to go in there. My mother hated this place, there was only one reason she'd be in there.

"Hey! Kai! Wake up dammit!" my eyes shot open and I jumped up from the wall I had been resting on. After what went down I felt hopeless and may have drank one too many drinks. Now I find myself looking up at a very annoyed Aaron and a headache that could kill.

"Finally, get up! Go sleep somewhere else..." He growled under his breath. His voice sounded angry but it was laced with what? Relief? Happiness? 

I couldn't tell because as soon as I got up and he made sure I wasn't injured he walked off, mumbling in silence. Quietly, I stepped out of the pub and began walking the gravel streets. The sun was setting and everyone else seemed to be totally carefree. The kids were freely laughing and running about.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I turned and Simon smiled at me, I couldn't return it. He lost his smile and took my hand in his. He squeezed it and looked down, "Listen, no one blames you for wanting to leave..." He began but I snorted at that.

"Right, So Zayo is totally okay with it and I only just met the rudest Aaron on earth because no one blames me right?' I huffed.

He looked down and bit his lip as if in thought. I shook my head and laughed but there wasn't any amusement. 

"Do you blame me?" I asked quietly, taking his other hand in mine. He looks down at my face before opening his mouth to answer.

nothing.

Snatching my hands away from him I glared and began walking away. 

"Kai..." He calls out and with poor judgement I stop and turn around, half expecting my poor best friend to tear up or give me puppy eyes. However, what I got instead was a man standing tall, looking conflicted and balling up his fists. 

Something changed in him because this wasn't the same best friend I remembered, his innocence gone and those sweet beautiful brown eyes held something else. 

"There are things you don't get..." He whispered and took my arm pulling me around. I only struggled a little bit, I could tell there was really no use anyways. He took me up the stairs and into his room. I sat down and watched him as he paced back and forth in the room. The door was closed and I looked over.

I made myself comfortable on his bed before pushing his pillow a little and seeing something. He hadn't noticed what I was doing so I slid my hand under to feel something hard, almost like- 

My father's journal! I took it out, the only difference of this journal and my father's was that this one was black and a lot older. 

"Kaison...my father had that journal. It was your father's..." He said softly and say down shoulder to shoulder next to me. I couldn't understand, why did Simon's father have my dad's journal?

"Your father gave it to mine hoping that you'd find us down the road. I don't know I guess he didn't trust when you would wake up. A lot of people want this journal...Kai there are only a handful of people who have mutations like us..." he said setting the book down from my hands.

I looked up at him, ignoring how close we were, "Our fathers worked together on the irreversible and highly dangerous formula. There used to be more of us...but many don't make it through but you and me? We surpass that stage! We're powerful, strong!" He called out now smiling widely and standing up. 

I shake my head, "Simon...how is this good? We're....we're FREAKS!" I whisper yelled and looked at my hands. He took my hands and stood me up, shaking his head.

"But we can make this good! We can save people...we can stop this from happening to anyone else. Your father left you directions to him right? So we'll stop him!" Simon explained. Sadly, I thought about his plan. I didn't want to play the depressing part of hating being different. This is who I was and i was going to make the best of it. I smiled at him and squeezed his hands, "You're right Simon! I'll get Aaron. We'll all go together." I said eagerly.

Secretly i was relieved to have company, now I wouldn't be so alone and I might not even die now!

Simon stopped me as I went to the door, looking back at him I gave him a confused look.

"Aaron...right...listen Kai he isn't good for you! He uses girls for a reason I can't even understand...but me? I would never use you because...I love you." he said with such confidence that I stood there, stunned.

Had he said that a while ago I would have died with excitement and would have ran into his arms. i couldn't though, part of me knew that I didn't love him.

Why?

I guess cause all hell broke lose.

dammit it all to hell.

I was in love with Aaron.
