Mourning Star (Sequel to Unbroken)

Deja Vu

(((TWO WEEKS LATER)))

Blake and I were flying out to LA to visit with the guys.  Carter birthday is in two days, as well, so Blake and I are planning to visit her, Ashley’s, and Dad’s grave.

“Ready to go, Blake?” Jayy yelled upstairs.  He and Dahvie would go with us, but had to stay for one more day.  They would be at the get together, though.

“Coming!” she shouted, running down the stairs.  She was wearing her black Of Mice & Men shirt that had yellow bats on it and said “I’m a Monster”

“Let’s go, Princess,” I said.

We arrived in LA about twenty minutes ago and were on our way to the BVB house.

“Go ahead, I will get the bags,” I told her.  She squealed with excitement and ran inside.  It’s been almost a year since she saw the guys and Meri.

(BLAKE’S POV)

I ran in the house and saw Uncle Andy talking to Uncle Ash.  I put my finger to my lips as Uncle Ash saw me.  I jumped on Uncle Andy’s back and pulled his batman beanie over his eyes.

“Hi, Shadow,” Uncle Andy said.  Uncle Ash was laughing so hard he was almost rolling on the floor. He has called me that forever.  He said it was because I was so quiet when I walked as a kid.

“Hiya Uncle Andy,” I said.  “To Aunt Mee!” I screamed.

“Is that who I think it is?!” I heard Aunt Mee say.

I jumped off of Andy and ran over to Aunt Mee.

“Oh my gosh! You are so tall!” Aunt Mee said.  I was about 5’ 11”.

“Yup,” I said, popping the ‘p’.

Suddenly I felt someone come up from behind me and throw my thin figure over their shoulder.

“Uncle Cee! Put me down!” I screamed.

“Ill save you!” Uncle Jakey yelled.  He and Uncle Jinxx came and tackled Uncle Cee, causing us to fall to the floor in a pile of laughter.

“You’ve only been here for five minutes and you already have everyone dying of laughter?” Dad asked as he walked in.  I just nodded because I was laughing so hard.

“Let the poor girl up!” I heard Aunt Sammi say.  The guys all got off of me.

“Hi Aunt Sammi,” I said as I hugged her.

“Damn! You’re going to be a part of the Gazelle heard too?” I heard Sammi say.

“Yup,” I said, popping the ‘p’.

“Blake!” I heard Uncle Andy and Uncle Ash yell.

“Coming!” I shouted.  I ran back to the living room to see four teens.  Two girls, two boys.  One of the girl looked about my age with light brown hair, closer to Meri’s, and chocolate brown eyes.  The other girl looked about nineteen and had the same hair as the other girl, but had bright royal blue eyes.  One of the boys had black hair and he looked about nineteen as well.  He had deep royal blue eyes.  The other boy looked about my age and had black hair and light, ocean blue eyes.  He had pale skin and was fairly tall, while the others, even the older kids, were shorter than me.

“Blake, this is Staycie, your cousin, and her twin, Zaenne,” Uncle Ash said, pointing to the older kids. 

“And this is Savannah, your other cousin,” Aunt Mee said.

“And this is Blade,” Uncle Andy said, putting a hand on the tall boy’s shoulder.

“H-hi,” I whispered, looking down.

“Well, I can see you got your mother’s shyness,” Uncle Jinxx commented.  He came over to us with Aunt Sammi and a girl who looked a little younger than me and Savannah.

“This is Melody,” Aunt Sammi whispered to me.  Too many people…

“Can you get my dad?” I asked Uncle Jakey.

“What’s up Princess?” Dad asked as he came downstairs.  I walked out of the room and into the hall.

“Do you have my meds?” I whispered to him.  He looked around and saw all the people.  He nodded and went upstairs to the spare bedroom.  A few seconds later he came down with my anxiety pills in hand.  I didn’t need them unless I was at a huge social event or school normally.  I quickly took them then walked back to where the others were.

“Sorry,” I whispered.  Everyone just shrugged and shook their heads or said that it was fine.  Everyone left eventually.  I sat down on the couch and turned on Netflix.  I quickly flipped on Doctor Who, which Dad got me hooked on.

“Hey,” I heard a deep voice behind me say.

“I… uh... hi?” I questioned, turning around.  It was Andy’s son, Blade.  He was wearing a ripped Suicide Silence shirt and ripped skinny jeans. 

“Blake, right?” he asks.

“Uh… Yeah…” I said, hiding behind my hair as he came and sat next to me.

“I like your hair,” he said.  I looked over at him to see him hiding behind a curtain of black.  I could see a faint pink tint in his cheeks, though.  Was he blushing?

“t-thanks,” I whispered.  I turned my attention back to the TV.  David Tennant and Rose were just getting back to Rose’s house on Christmas Eve.  It was David Tennant’s first episode as the Doctor.
