Mist Falls

Chapter 10: All You Can Do Is Try !!

I wake up slowly light beams though a small slit in the curtains my head is lying on something warm and fingers are curled into my hair.

Wait, what, my head snaps up and I see one of the twins sitting in the chair right next to my bed asleep, when did he get, why is he here but again a feeling of being safe washes over me.

Then it hits me I slept until past morning all night and it must have something to do with him being here I run my finger softly over his bear arm his soft and warm and smells like fresh cut grass its nice calming.

I look but and see his puppy eyes watching me filled with fire and not the bad kind and I blush before getting up, "I'm sorry Jax."

"No that's ok how did you know it was me?" he whispers back his voice gruff and low from sleep it washes over me and my face must be as red a balloon now.

"I didn't until you opened your eyes," I smile at him as I play with the sheet.

"What do you mean my eyes are different?" he says a soft smile on his lips as he runs a finger softly down my arm he smells like fresh cut grass and spring.

"Your eyes hold a sadness that your brothers does not," I say glancing a look up at him I wish I had not he looks mad as he stands up and puts a fake smile on his face.

"Ok well see you later Winter," he says as he walks to the door, "You coming for breakfast?"

"Maybe later," I whisper as I lay do

wn and cover up pretending to go back to sleep he waits for a few moments before I hear the door close softly.

I should really learn to shut up, I could tell I hurt him and now he's gone, I hurt everyone and everything around me.

I close my eyes and for the first time I cry, big ugly crying and once its over I pull myself up and head for a bath.

After getting dressed for the day I feel better, better than I have in long time, I'm upset about Jax but I have to try that's my new thing, I have to try for Mike because in just a year I will be gone but until then I can make his life much easier or I can try.

I open the curtains and let the sun shine in washing away the shadows in the room, I feel like I have lived in them so long it feels good to let in the light.

I make the bed pick up after me self and then open the balcony doors it still early so but still the sun is raising over the trees little birds and animals are waking up to start there day.

On one side of the balcony is a sun lounger, I grab my drawing pad and pencil and sit down to drawn the forest and the bird the maze below with the top of the fountain I can just see the tree with the swing I get so lost I don't realize someone is standing next to me watching, waiting.

I look up to a set of light blue eyes, Phoenix, he smiles at me, "Goodmorning Lady Bug."

I can't help a smile creeps across my face and I giggle, "Lady bug?"

"Well your hair the black and the red and the fact you cute like a lady bug," he shrugs and smiles his light blue eyes are lit with warmth as a blush takes over my face and I duck my head down a little, "Did you sleep well?"

The smile disappears from my face, as I think about the luck on Jax face when he left and I nod my head to which he frowns a little as he watches me closely.

"Well come on I'm making pancakes for you," he says as he puts his hand out to me, to which I back away a little.

He pulls his hand away and knells down next to my chair and I pull my knees up to face, my heart is beating to fast as he watches me.
