One Way Bridge

Falling Apart

I push through the crowd in the hallway .So many faces ,pieces to stories but only one of them is falling apart. Mine . Ever since that day at the mall my life has been a mess . My nightmares about dad have increased . They had trivial before but mum has to wake up twice or more times than countable on some nights to make sure I am fine even though she knows I don't Wang her around me . Everything seems to suffocate me of late . The air, mirth, water, it doesn't make sense . But then again its not supposed to .I have never made sense anyway .  Don't get me wrong I used to think there was more to life than falling in love and being happy or experiencing your first heartbreak and moving on ..but that was back when dad was with me . Now all I see is death because half the time I am crawling and stumbling through a life that is supposed to be mine . And if that didn't scream crazy and weird then I don't know what will.
"Hi," a familiar voice says  as I above books into my locker.
"Hi."I reply without looking .
" So the rumours are wrong and you can actually speak?"I freeze and glance over my shoulders only to find the most beautiful pair of  blue eyes staring down  me . He is tall ,broad shouldered and a sight for soar eyes that's for sure. But what is not clear is what the hell he is doing talking to me and why I don't reckon seeing him in any of my classes which is virtually impossible in senior year at Water edge High .
May be is not in your class
My mind tries to help me out but that just doesn't add up . I shut my locker and starting walking away noticing people's eyes are fixed on us but the stranger falls in tow .
"Bella , I have heard so much about you ." That brings me to a Holt. If he was trying to get my attention he just did.
"I knew that would catch your fancy." He states with a smirk.
"Who sent you ?"
"Relax , Bells..this is no thriller and for the record I am not here to murder you. If I was I would probably do it in a..an ancient tomb or something . At least give me some credit ."
I smile as his eyes scan the room before snapping out of this trance .
He is so beautiful.
I note my eyes travelling over his chiselled jaw.
"What do you want?"
"The name's  Sebastian Graham." He bows . Very chivalry .
I want to comment but I hold back.
"Samantha Rivers." I sigh in defeat."You aren't going to tell me who sent you are you?"
Of course superman. Who else calls you Bella block head?   I mentally scold myself . I just need to be sure . I can't keep riding on assumptions all the time .
"I was getting to that part." He chuckles.
" You kinda stole something at the shop." He says. I freeze  .
"No I didn't ."
I am quick to defend myself." I only bought a dream catcher. You can check the  receipt book and the camera footage. I swear."
Sebastian bursts into a fit of laughter. I watch him dazed and confused . For one he is gorgeous . Secondly , he is annoying to the core .
"Why is thus funny ?!" I scream at him agitated after a few more minutes of his laughter. He raises his fore finger to me a signal that I should probably let him catch his breath first and so I do .
" Ahh..innocent La Belle . "he sighs topping it up with a French accent that is to die for.
"  When I say you stole . I don't mean anything physical. You stole my brother's heart . He can't stop thinking about you . You are all he speaks off and truth be told I am getting pretty much irritated hence my reason for coming ."
This guy is unbelievable .
"So superman sent you ?" I ask confidently .
"No. I sent myself . You didn't go to him yesterday. "
"I was busy." I lie .
" You were , weren't you?" He narrows his eyes at me as if he is trying to figure me out.
" yea." I fold my arms over my chest.
"He was worried about you ." he sighs shaking his head lightly.
"Tell him I am alright."
"It's not in my place to do that . Come by today please. I can tell you are not interested in Raphael , but I worry about him. He is the only family I've got left. You don't have to stay long . Just to calm him down ."
I groan inwardly. Why me? There are so many freaking girls in this place who will be more than interested in Raphael. I stare back blankly at Sebastian . Those pleading blue eyes black mail me.
"Okay, I'll stop by." I find myself giving in.
"Thank you , Sam. I owe you ."  He replies . A broad smile spreading over his lips.
"Don't mention it."
The bell rings shortly after that and Sebastian runs off and out of the gates.  Weird .I mentally conclude .
The walk to class isn't exactly long but Raphael's name keeps ringing in my head for some reason .
It sounds familiar . Almost like I have said it a thousand times over in some unknown place .
