Heart of Ice

On The Run

RECAP: He nibbled and kissed on my collar until he found my sweet spot. I gasped then moaned loudly when he lightly bit it. I wished I could encase this moment in amber and make it last forever.

     Hot.....I'm too hot. Mom turn down the heat please! Wait...mum's dead. So is dad and Sally and Chris. I'm all alone. It's too hot....

       I woke up with a person's face in my face. I was slightly upside down on my couch with Alex starfishing on me.

    

     "Uggghhhhhh get off meeeeeee.", I tried to roll over but Alex had cornered me with my head hanging off near the arm of the couch and my feet draped across the body of it. How do you wake up a teenage male? "Got it.", I took a deep breath, " OH MY GOD MY PANTIES ARE SOAKED IN MY PERIOD BLOOD! I NEED A TAMPON!"

       Alex shot up off the couch so fast that he tipped me over further and I fell straight on my head. Ouch. I looked over at Alex and watched as he checked himself for any blood then proceeded to look back at me with a mixture of disgust and horror.

        "I'm not actually on my period idjit. I just needed you to get off of me cause I was really hot.",He visibly relaxed at my words. Like I would actually tell him I'm on my period. Ha!

         "Sooooo are you hungry?" I asked him. He shook his head yes so I went to the kitchen to make something. I gave all the house staff a vacation because there weren't going to be many people to look after. I grabbed the bread and eggs and started making my awesometabulous french toast.

         Soon the smell of cinnamon wafted throughout the room and I moaned in anticipation. When they were done I gave myself five and Alex four because the cook always gets the last of his/her creation. By my rules anyway.

 

          We ate our frenchets in silence. It was a tad awkward because we couldn't exactly look each other in the eye considering what we had done last night (WHICH WASN'T MUCH FYI). I decided enough was enough and began the conversation.

          I said," So I have a plan." Alexander just looked at me with total confusion.

        "I'm going to go on the run.", I said while putting away our forgotten dishes. Alex jumped up and grabbed my arm, "Are you insane?! You can't just leave everyone here! Someone is bound to notice that you haven't shown up!"

          "Well I can't stay here! The longer I stay where Rayna is the more likely chance that my brother is going to try and use her to get to me! She's in a coma and I have placed undercover body guards to watch and protect her 24/7! Besides, who am I leaving behind? No one here really notices me and the people who did are gone so why should I stay?!", I ran my hand through my hair in exasperation.

            Alexander looked at me with hurt and anger reflecting in his eyes," I figured that maybe, considering what we did last night, you would count me as a friend or more. I guess not though since you haven't even considered that I might care! Damn it Myra! You are not alone in this so stop acting like you can do everything by yourself!!"

          "SHUT UP!", I screamed. I fell to my knees in despair. With a voice that had a noticeable tremor in it, I explained," Everyone I care about gets hurt. My family died because of me. Rayna and Lucas were caught up in my past all because I'm not strong enough to stand up to my brother. I can't..no I won't let you get involved with this too. I won't let anyone else I care about get hurt by this again. Can't  you see I need to do this on my own, because if you get hurt...", I stood up, "I will never forgive myself.

             My eyes were clouded with tears as a fought to hold them back. Alexander gave me one last glare then turned around and walked away. Yes...walk away..leave and keep yourself safe. I let the tears fall and ran to my closet to start packing the essentials.

           Once everything was packed I took a the credit card that Rayna's mom had left for us. It still had a few million left on it so I knew I would be covered until I found a secure place to work. As I locked up, the memories of Rayna, Lucas, and I playing in the big house flooded through me. No. Those days are over. Time to leave and never come back. I have to keep everyone I care about safe, no matter what it takes.

            I locked the front door and turned towards the street to my awaiting taxi. I faced the house and pledged never to return. I opened the door and there he was, just sitting there with such a look of determination. I sighed and dropped myself into the backseat.

          "What are you doing here?" I asked with a blank face.

"I'm coming with you. Someone needs to keep you from doing stupid things. There also needs to be someone to protect you. Besides, you'd never make it by yourself, so shut up and let's get rolling."

             I just rolled my eyes and told the taxi man, "The farthest airport please." The taxi man looked confused, but he shrugged it off as he was going to be paid more for the extra miles. I laid back against the seat and watched as my old home faded away. Goodbye, Rayna.
