Glitch

07

Anthony and May were still talking. Derek yawned becoming more and more tired and rested his bony chin on my shoulder. I had nearly forgotten Derek was still holding me, his arms gently went down to my sides and pulled me slightly closer to him.

My breath got stuck in my throat, my hole body felt like it was on fire.

"Are you ok?" Derek whispered his breath tickled my ear making my body shudder. His eyes gently widen realizing what he was doing, but he didn't let go. He tightened his grip and pushed me closer to him.

 His heart beat was resting on my back it started going faster and faster but I couldn't tell if it was mine or his.

"I was scared when the building blew up...I thought you were going to get hurt. I didn't care about what happened to me..." his words were from his heart his tone was meaningful and slightly fear full.

"My one thought was I'm not letting Julia get hurt...I Ju-" he was cut off by Anthony's laughter. We both went red face and leaped from each other. I nearly ran into a tree near by me. Anthony and May gave us an confused look

"umm you two ok?" Anthony asked but after a few seconds of us being quite an evil smirk formed on his face.

"Ohhh~ we're we interrupting~" Anthony teased. Derek glanced at me I flinched along with my pounding heart that felt like it was ready to blow up. May walked over to me

"w-we should go!, the sun's starting to come up" I said and hurried past an blushing Derek and a grinning Anthony. May hurried over to me so we were walking at the same pace. May glanced over her shoulder seeing Anthony whispering to Derek.

 I wrapped my arms around my sides just like Derek had been before we parted. The spot was now cold thanks to the freezing wind, even with this jacket. I felt so cold without his arms tightly wrapped around me. My arms were much smaller than his.

 I wished Anthony never walked over Derek's words started swimming in my head, on a never ending loop.

"My one thought was I'm not letting Julia get hurt...I Ju-" each of his words echoed in my head letting my thoughts run wild and for a few short minutes. I felt like myself again with everything going on it felt like the shattering world around us had paused for a few short seconds so I could remember I was alive.

 My never ending pounding heart also made sure to tell me that. May glanced back at the boys then me.

"Did you two kiss?" May asked becoming a girl version of Anthony. My skin ran cold when she said that and my heart started beating even faster.

 I'm going to have a heart attack if this keeps going on. May started giggling by my reaction.

"No we didn't" she crossed her arms and looked away with a face saying.

'I don't believe you' I sighed and became thankful this walk was so short. The guy's house came into view.

"Wait are the girls staying with us?" Anthony asked Derek, Derek glanced at me and with that our eyes met and my brief moment of happiness ended as if a wave had hit me. I was reminded about what was happening that we were stuck in a digital world.

That we were lab rats. That our family's weren't our family's, that almost everything we know isn't real. Chills started creeping onto my skin my heart beat had become steady as my stomach twisted and turned. Adam's dead body started coming back to me.

 The rotten smell had intoxicated my lungs. My eyes widen as I could feel something swimming up my throat. I threw open the front door and ran up the stairs.

"Julia!" May and Derek yelled. I threw open the bathroom door and collapsed onto the ground as the liquid force it's way up and out of me and crashed into the toilet. May rushed in and pulled my hair away from my face as I keep throwing up.

Tears flooded my vision refusing to let me see what was happening. The horrid smell of Adam's body was stuck in my lungs the discussing vomit smell couldn't get rid of the smell of the rotting body. Derek ran in and the second he saw me his eyes fell and he rubbed my back.

I heard Anthony digging threw the hall closet to find something to help me to stop throwing up. After a few moments nothing was left in my stomach. I crashed into Derek's arms he gently whipped away the tears that were still dripping down my face.

May covered her nose so she didn't start throwing up Anthony held out a bottle of pills.

"Take this it should help" I slowly nodded and took the clear blue pills and swallowed them. Derek rubbed my shoulder no one knew what to say.

"You two are staying here tonight" Derek spoke up as he tightened his grip on me.

"Ok..." May said as she glanced at me after getting all that sh*t out of me I felt better. I weakly glanced at Derek he was staring at me.

"May, Julia you two can stay in our spare bed room" Anthony said for once being kind. He grabbed May's shoulder she followed him and they walked out. I piled over and held my stomach Derek looked at me with sympathy and started rubbing my back.

"...I'm sorry if I had just gone down to the basement before you" Derek growled. I could tell he was feeling guilty but with everything going on I don't want him to feel guilty on top of it. I gently took his hand witch was a fist and slipped my finger in between his middle finger and indent finger.

He let my fingers slip threw and intertwine with his hand.

His eyes softened I slowly moved so I could face him. I must have looked like a mess I was barely thinking. I was so tired I just wanted to sleep but even though it felt like bricks were hanging off of my eye lashes my eyes refused to shut.

His eyes met mine and I couldn't look away. I glanced down at our hands his was so much warmer and so much bigger my hand felt as if his would engulf mine. His free hand gently cupped my check sending a shock threw out my body.

He gently moved my hair away from my face and pushed it behind my ear feeling a few strands of hair getting wrapped around the back of my earing. He's eyes changed to a look I've never seen before.

It looked loving it wasn't like in the movies where the actors fake a emotion because the director wants them too. This was so different and so un real.

I never thought I'd be here with him I always thought it be somewhere better? not in a bathroom after I just threw up after seeing a dead body and a building being blown up.

Yeah maybe this isn't the best timing but am I complaining about this look in Derek's eyes. Not completely he leaned in to the point we were only centimeters apart from one another.

His breath tickled my face my heart was beating out of my chest. My hearts going to stop at this rate. His eyes locked into mine I could feel my hole body tense up

He leaned in closer and his eyes slowly started shutting. My breath got stuck in my throat as his lips gently hit mine. My eyes shot open the second our lips hit each other it felt like lighting was sent threw me.

His hand that was on my check went to my side and pushed me closer to him. My hole body felt as if it was melting by his touch. His lips were so soft and warm his hand tightened around mine. I dug my nails into his hand not knowing what to do. This happy feeling this exhilarating feeling was intoxicating.
