I woke up this morning staring at the ceiling, I suddenly remembered that I met my real parents yesterday. I wished they would of been rude, I'm not going to lie..I hate the fact the abandoned me but they were young when they had me and any teenager would flip out. I sighed and got out of bed.
Once prepared for school I headed downstairs to the kitchen, Everything was back to normal I guess..My adoptive parents ignoring me as always, Yesterday when mom hugged me and dad whispered soothing words into my ear I finally felt close to them. They never..Never had been this affectionate to me since a long time it was like I finally got the parents I loved back. But then maybe yesterday they were just scared that i'll leave them to go live with my real parents,but yesterday I told them I won't be going anywhere anytime sooner and just by saying that they went back to acting normal by acting normal I mean ignoring me.
I looked at them both and sighed before sitting on the table to eat breakfast. I stared at my eggs and bacon, I pushed my plate away not feeling hungry.
"Eat up" My mother said glancing up from her laptop giving me the glare.
"Not hungry." I said getting up and handing my plate to Don.
"sweet! thanks El!" He said ruffling my hair making me giggle.
I headed out and started to walk down the streets, I plugged in my earphones when I arrived at school because I really wasn't it the mood to talk to anybody really.
I saw my two best friends Wilson and Nathan on the field training. Huh? this early and already training.. Well I guess they really do want to win that game on Friday. I smiled at them even though they couldn't see me, I walked to my locker opening it and took out my diary and walked to my favorite spot of the school that no one else knew. The roof, yes you heard right the roof there was a ladder behind our theater,No one really noticed it but once I remember running away from theater class as Brooke the bitch had cracked eggs and dumped flour on my hair calling me names like slut,whore,bitch and the list goes on. So I ran out of the theater and hit my head against the ladder...yes hit my head and it hurt like a bitch, I eventually ended up climbing it out of curiosity to see where it lead to and BAM I was on the schools roof.
I sighed and laid back on the roof and stared into the sky.
"well well what do me have here?" I heard a familiar voice.
"And I who thought only I knew this place" I said at Aaron who was smirking at me.
"Nope. I come here often too" He said and laid down next to me.
"You skipping class?" He asked.
"No, I have two free periods this morning" I said closing my eyes and breathing in the fresh air.
We stayed silent for a couple of minutes, I opened my eyes to see if he was there and he was. He was staring at me. Way to be a creep buddy.
"What?" I asked
"Hmm nothing" He said looking back up at the sky.
"Do you believe In peace after life?" He suddenly asked.
"well" I said sitting up "I kind of do like to think that when people die they find each other again therefore the whole peace thingy..do I make sense right now?".
"Yes you do make sense" He chuckled. He took out a photo of his wallet and showed it to me, there was two girls a boy and their parents.
"this is my sister Bailey and Sam" he pointed at the two girls with brownish hair that they got from their mother, I'm guessing that the little blonde boy is Aaron he and his dad both got those blonde hair.
"Sam died when she was five" He whispered. why is he telling me this i thought .
"How?" I asked handing him back the photo which he placed back into his wallet.
"Not how.. but because of who " He said making me all confused.
"I killed her Elise...I killed her" He whispered a tear sliding down his cheeks. I stared at him shocked.
"How.." I mumbled.
"How? well I remember driving her back home from her ballet class. Then out of no where some truck hit us making my car roll down this hill. I heard her scream 'Aaron wake up!' multiple times. When I woke up I saw flames and Sam cough over and over again. I Kicked the window till it broke then took us out of it. She had burns all over her back. a few minutes later and their were cops and ambulances. I remember shouting at the doctors to help her first but it was to late... She died" He whispered. I Hugged him..This wasn't his fault but he blamed it on him because he was the one driving.
"Do you know what Sam did" He whispered and sent me a weak smile "She protected me, She covered me with her tiny body so I wouldn't get burnt but by doing that she was the one who got burnt not just a little bit but but her whole back..She saved me when I was the one who was supposed to save her" He cried.
I Couldn't help it, I intertwined our fingers and wiped his tears away.
"Aaron this isn't your fault! It was the drivers fault,The one who had been driving that truck! And Sam did what she had to do. She knew that you would of protected her but she also knew that you were the one that needed to be protected at that moment. Never feel like you killed her she wouldn't want you to think that" I whispered hugging him.
He placed his head in the crook of my neck and wrapped his arms tightly around my waist pulling me to him. I froze but slowly wrapped my arms around him.
"thank you" He whispered as I gently ran my fingers through his dirty blonde hair.
"It's okay" I whispered back.
We stayed there a couple of minutes in each others arms.
He cleared his throat and helped me up " Its lunch right now, You should go and eat something"
He turned around and walked back to the ladder "Wanna join me" I asked. He turned around and smile "I would love to".
We walked to the cafeteria and pretty much everyone was looking at us. Why? Aaron gave my hand a squeeze, Oh! we were still holding hands..
I bought a burger with fries and went to sit down on the opposite side of the table where Nate and Wilson were both were smirking at me. I rolled my eyes at the two idiots also known as my best friends and scooted over patting the seat next to me for Aaron to sit.
"Yo bro what you doing here?" A dude asked at Aaron.
"eating." He said biting into his pizza.
"No I mean what are you doing here thought you were gonna sit with us" The dude said frowning making me chuckle.
"You can sit with us you know, We don't bite" I winked at him making him send me a bright smile and call another boy.
"Um we don't bite... but she does" Nathan corrected making me get up to punch him on his shoulder before sitting back down.
"She also is very aggressive" Wilson added making me kick him underneath the table causing him to curse.
Aaron chuckled making me roll my eyes.
"I'm jay, Also know as the hottie" The boy with brown hair said winking at me making me laugh.
"I'm Terrance" the boy with black hair and gorgeous blue eyes said.
"well I'm Elise" I smiled at Aaron's friends.
We all were laughing at a joke that Jay said when my phone rang.
"Elise.." I heard my adoptive mothers voice.
"Mom? Is everything alright?" I asked
"Hunny it's your dad.." As soon as she said that I knew what was happening. I froze and quickly packed my things
This can't be happening...
