DON'T PLAY YET
Ruby's pov
After telling lisa multiple times that i was ok and not to worry ,me and the twins were sitting in the living room. Ethan was sitting in a separate chair thingy to my right and grayson was sitting to my left at the end of the couch. We were watching the avengers. Just then lisa came down in a work attire with her hair in a neat bun and purse. "You kids go outside and stop watching t.v. im a be right back i need to go in at work for a bit" she said while tossing stuff into her bag.
The boys groaned and i simply nodded my head. Ethan shut the t.v. off and we all got up and said bye to her. "Watcha wanna do gray?" ethan asked while scratching the back of his neck. "Let's just go swimming" they both agreed and ran upstairs. I just stood there not really knowing what to do. I was defiantly not going to show my body in a bathing suit because of scars and im not comfortable with my body.
I decided on getting my "venture back pal" is what i call it. Its just my yellow back pack with a note pad and mason jars and pencils. Its for when i feel like sketching nature or just collecting bugs. I walked out their house and walked over to my house. I opened the door with the hidden key and ran upstairs to grab my back pack. I also decided to carefully pack up my vinly player and take it with me. I also stuffed my bag with records.
After i got everything i needed i walked back over to the twins house. I walked in and heard noises from the back. I walked back out to see them playing and doing flips by the pool. Grayson saw me and did a quick smile before getting pushed into the pool by ethan. I giggled a little and walked towards the back of their yard.
I took off my brown cardigan and held it against my stomach and countinued to walk. I smiled as i reached the part where its just dark green grass and little pink ,purple and yellow flowers. (Last chap with gray pic) i layed down my cardigan and sat on the floor. I removed my back pack and unzipped it. I carefully undid the straps to the vinly player and set it up. (Lets pretend you dont have to plug it in) i sat it down carefully on the grass and pulled out a record that i thought would help me. I removed the disc from case and placed it on the disc holder and brought down the needle. (Play song) .
I closed my eyes and inhaled the fresh air. I leaned back so that my arms were holding me up. Everything in this moment was perfect. Is perfect. I smiled and opened my eyes again. I looked down at my pale legs and moved my shoes side to side in a slow motion. I pulled out my mason jars and placed them next to me. I then pulled out my special color pencils and sketch books and note pads. I remembered that they were a gift from my mother. I smiled i do miss her even if it's been a day.
I closed up my back pack and placed my sketch book on my lap and decided to sketch some flowers around me. I picked up my pink coral pencil and started to out line the sketch of a flower. I picked up a little flower and exammned its structure and its creases. I put it down and countinued drawing from the memory of my head. I ligjtly moved the pencil neatly against the white fresh crisp paper. I hummed along with the music and sighed with happiness. Something that hasn't been around lately.
I watched as i would shade in another pink flower. I could see the bones in my hand move along with my green blue like veins. I've always liked when i could see them. They just looked so pure and beautiful. I put down my pencil and picked up a yellow custard one and colored the inside of the flower. I put it down and looked at the drawing then back at the flower. I bit my bottom lip and closed one eye squinting at the resemblance of them two.
I decided that was enough of doodling. I picked up a jar and removed the lid. I picked some grass and put some in the jar. I got up and tip toed my way over to a little dirt patch. I squatted and ran my fingers through the grass and picked threw the dirt. I bit my lip again and searched threw the soft soil. I then spotted a green caterpillar. I smiled and picked it up carefully. I raised it up to my face and saw its little feet and beautiful yellow and black marks on its back. I held it to the top of the jar about to put it in.
"What are you doing?" i got scared and dropped the poor little guy in the bottom of the jar. I looked down into it. "Sorry buddy" i said. I then looked back up at them. "Just collecting little bugs and sketching" i said. I then got back up and held the jar. They nodded their heads. "Whats in there?" ethan asked.
I smiled " a caterpillar , wanna see?" i asked. He nodded his head. I reached out the jar towards him. He glanced at my arm and took the jar out of my hand. I put my arm back down to my side. I looked at grayson who sat where my sketches were at. I smiled and sat next to him. He looked at me"this is good rubs" i smiled. He hasn't called me that in ages.
"Thanks gray" he nodded his head. I layed back down on to the soft grass. Then i saw that he did too. I looked up at the sky that was blocked with the tall trees and noises coming from the birds and water flow from a stream a coupl feet away. I closed my eyes and relaxed. I then heard something to the right of me. I opened my eyes and saw ethan laying down with his hands behind his head and also looked up. I closed my eyes and smiled. Everything just felt right. At least for now.
