Finally Known Love

Chapter 21

Jade's POV

"Settle down, it'll all be clear.

Don't pay no mind to the demons,

They fill you with fear.

The trouble it might drag you down.

If you get lost, you can always be found."Plays through my headphones as I walk down the street. Finally, I arrive at Starbucks and am immediatly surrounded with the smell of coffee and chocolate. I order a Double Chocolate Frap before going to sit at a table. I keep jamming in my head (I know- unsocial much?) until my name is called. I grab my drink before walking to the park. I people watch, as I walk through the trees. I smile as I see little kids swinging, a group playing soccer, and a family having a picnic. It reminds me of the very special days, when Father had a day off, and we would go to the park, and just enjoy the day. Then Father would go out, and well... y'all should know what happens after that.

As a new song comes on, I throw away my cup, before just walking. I trip, bracing myself for the fall... but it never happened. I look up to see, not the trees, but a pair of beautiful blue eyes. I gasp, just staring into them. They were the perfect turqoise blue, with dark blue flecks in them, ringed with a navy circle. I snap out of my little daydream when the boy speaks up. "You alright?" he asks, pulling me up. I nod, still not trusting my voice. "My name is Triston, what is yours?" he smiles, and I almost melt into a puddle. He was hot, like movie star hot. He had this perfect brown hair, that was pulled to the side just right. He also had straight, white pearly teeth. As I studied him, I realize I hadn't answered yet. "J-jade." I manage to stutter out. "Well J-jade, would you like to go get lunch with me?" he asks, yet again flashing a smile. "Sure." I say, before linking arms with him and walking along the path.

"Really? Your brother did that? He didn't even get sent to the principal's or anything?" I manage through my laughter. "Nope!" he chuckles right back. We were at a sandwich shop, just talking. It was so easy to talk to him, he was just a comforting person to be spending time with. No drama, just carefree attitude. I didn't have to act, I could be myself. It was nice to have that kind of friendship with someone, it was like a refreshing change from my usual ya know? No... okay. Well anyway, we were currently talking about the pranks that his little brother pulls at his elementary school. He was quite the little prankster, it was apparently what he is "famous" for.

"So what are your hobbies?" Triston asks, before taking a sip of his soda. "I play guitar, sing, and perform." I reply, trying not to bring up the whole "superstar" thing, hoping he wouldn't change the way he acts around me. "Well I may just have to have you play for me a little later today." he smirks. "What are your hobbies?" "Well, I am pretty good at football (American) if I do say so myself and I also play piano and a small bit of guitar." I smile, so far Tristan seems to be really nice, just a great person all together.

I hear a flash, and sigh. They just had to ruin it! "What's wrong?" Tristan asks, looking worried. "I am so sorry..." I say, before covering my face in my hands. I feel something grab my hands, and soon I am looking in those blue eyes again. "About what babe?" he asks, looking confused. I sigh, before getting up, taking his hand, and dragging him with me. I put on my sunglasses. "Get ready," I tell him, before opening the door and start speed walking out of there. I keep my hand around his wrist so I don't lose him in the paps. Now that, would make him never want to see me again. We finally get out of the crowd, and he opens his mouth. "We aren't safe yet, do you know anywhere we can go?" he nods. "Well, lead on, and make it quick." And with that, we were off.
