HALF

14 | before we fall

I yawned and opened my eyes. I got up and stretched. I finally let my arms fall to my side. My room filled with bacon smell. I realized that it was coming from the kitchen. I got on my feet and walked out. It smelled really good. Crisp and I can hear it sizzle.

"Why, good morning, sleepy head." said Jurian. He closed the fridge and walked over to my cabinets, checking each one.

"The cups are in the far left cabinet." I say.

He strolled to the far left cabinet like I said and grabbed a glass cup. He poured orange juice in the cup. I crossed my arms across my chest and my stomach rumbled. Wow...

Jurian looked over to me and my eyes widened. I cross my arms over my stomach and looked away. I hear him chuckle. "You're hungry in the morning."

"Aren't we both aware of that now?" I say, turning red.

"Breakfast is ready." He announces. He carried the plate and set it on the dining table. Then he brought over the glass cup of juice.

"Thanks," I mutter. I sat down and began to eat. The plate was full of bacon and eggs with cinnamon toast. When I reached for the orange juice, I stopped and looked at Jurian.

He was leaning against the wall with his arms across his chest, looking at me. I cleared my throat. "Aren't you going to eat?"

He shrugged. "I already did."

He sat down in front of me and pulled his phone out. I continued to feast on the delicious as hell breakfast. When I was finished, I was about to get up and put the dishes in the sink but I didn't.

"Hey, Jurian?" I ask.

"Hm, yeah?" He responds.

Should I really? I opened my mouth but closed it. I shook my head. "Never mind,"

Jurian's eyes were set on me now. "Just tell me." He said, his eyes glimmering. "What were you going to say?"

Who's Matt and would did you ask me that?

I shook my head. "I was just going to say, thank you for the breakfast. I really enjoyed it."

He smiled at that compliment and propped his elbow. He gazed at me. Our eyes were locked onto each other's for a while but I felt my cheeks getting hot. I turned away and blinked several times.

"W-why are you looking at me like that?" I stammered. Something fluttering fluttered in my stomach. Amara has those before. I think they were called... Butterflies?

"I'm just admiring you." He said.

"Why?" I ask, still not looking at him.

"I need to get a good look at you before we fall."

Fall? What does that mean? I turned to him but his green eyes are captivating. Something sad shined in his eyes but he moved his head and got up. I got up and set the dishes in the sink.

Fall...

: : : : : :

I changed into a jacket, pants, boots, and wrapped a scarf around my neck. I'm going to find Liam today. Well, search. Buuuuuuut hopefully to find him. I used my vampire speed and sped out of my room and to the front door. But of course, my vampire speed is not even fast.

"Hey, Breeze?" called Jurian, who was sprawled out on the carpet sleeping.

"Um, what?" I answer.

"Where are you going?" He said. I heard him yawn.

"I'm..." I didn't want to tell him. "I'm just going to Amara's. I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay..." I hear him yawn again. I smiled a bit to myself and opened the door. Once I stepped out, a blast of wind hit me. I pulled my jacket tighter around me and shivered.

I don't know where I used to live, or what my parents do, but I do know their names. I'll choose a neighborhood and ask people if they know Aurelia and Jackson Pierce. Sounds crazy, but worth it.
