Her Unexpected Life

Chapter 18

Cereza's POV

When the portal closed, I went to take a shower and get the filth of the day off my skin. I dried off and threw some pajamas on, turned my light off and got underneath my blankets. I just laid there, thinking. Still not wanting to believe what had just transpired.

It's been a very emotional day for me, and I feel like there is a huge unbearable weight on my shoulders. It's making me feel all this unwanted pressure.

I heard a knock at the door.

"Hey babycakes, are you awake?" Mom asks. "Yeah, I'm awake." I say.

"I think this week away from school will let you be able to process a few things." She said. "There is a possibility that the dude that is trying to take me is the relative of a powerful warlock that tried to take over the Magic Realm. Yeah, I need to process some things." I said.

"I know get some sleep." She said closing my door. I rolled on my side and reached for my phone. I text Jason to ask if he could bring my homework to me for the next week.

He replied back. "Yeah." And then I went and called Penelope because she must be worried sick.

CALL TO PENELOPE
Not really realizing what time it was. She answers in a groggy voice. "Hello?"

"Hey P....." I said.

"Cereza? Oh my God! Cereza, are you okay?" Penelope asked worriedly.

"Um, yeah, I'm okay. Thanks for bringing my stuff, just-, a lot was happening. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. " I said.

"It's okay. Today was crazy as fuck and I'm just glad you're safe. I had to BEG the school not to call the cops. I was scared they might arrest you, or worst!" She exclaimed.

"Thank you so much P, really. After I hit Jason, I was horrified. I don't even know how I did that. I know I had to leave immediately." I said.

"You're welcome. Uh, did he come talk to you?" Penelope asked.

"Yeah, he did." I said.

"And how did that go?" She asked.

I sighed. "We talked, he told me what really happened, then he got on his knees and begged me not to break up with him." I said.

"Wow, never took Jason for someone who begs." Penelope said.

"Yeah, when he got on his knees, I thought this had to be a joke. I did not think he was serious." I said.

"So, what did you decide to do?" She asked.

"After we talked, I decided not to break up with him. He even told me he loved me." I said.

"Aww, he loves you?" Penelope asked.

"Yeah, and I love him too, but I told him if this happens again, I'm dropping him." I said.

"I know that's right girl! Are you still transformed into a fairy?" She asked.

"No, when I got home I went to bed and the transformation dropped while I was asleep." I said.

"Can you transform again?" Penelope asked.

"Yeah, but not on my own. My Mom had to help me the second time cause the first time was an accident. Like, I did not mean to do that at all today." I said.

"Speaking of Moms, mine is proud of me helping my best friend. What did yours say about the fiasco today?" She asked.

"My Mom isn't mad at me for fighting, she's not mad at me at all. The whole purpose of me going to talk to Eric was to see if we could capture some dark magic. That's the reason my purse was glowing. There was a bottle of magic in it." I said.
