It had been a few days and before I knew it it was already the weekend. I had plans with the twins and Dakota to go ice skating but i wasn't sure if the twins were gonna show. I hadn't yet spoken to Delta about everything, I was taking Grey's advice and letting her come to me which she hadn't yet, kinda disappointing.
Never the less I decided not to dwell and to move on. It was mid day when I met Dakota at the rink. She was waiting outside with a light Grey long coat on with a pink hat covering her firey red hair. Her right blue eyes shone when the light hit them and came out better with the pink hat.
"Bad news, twins are a no go." I said as I walked up the path. The smile that was on her face vanished immediately.
"Oh no, why? Are they okay?" She asked and I bit my lip. I wanted to tell her everything, to tell her why Delta was shutting me out and how I was worried about Dylan, but I couldn't, they were my friends it wasn't my secret to tell.
"Yeah they are fine, Delta forgot she made plans with Jarak and Dylan is caught up with homework already. No big deal, just us I guess." I shrugged and pulled the door handle open and let her go inside ahead of me.
"Well, maybe they will hang out tonight?" Dakota suggested. She was really sweet, I was kind of sad that we hadn't met earlier.
"Yeah maybe." I had been on edge about the twins all week, that's where my mind had been. To be honest I didn't really want to hang out tonight, with anyone. I wanted to sit in my room alone, completely alone. I wonder if I could get Grey to hang out with Nate tonight, get the house to myself.
"Mari?" Dakotas voice got louder as she tried to get my attention. I snapped back into my thoughts and looked at her. We were now in front of the line to get skates.
"Sorry?" I asked and looked back at the guy who was giving me a questioning look.
"What size are you miss?" He asked again and I came to my senses.
"Oh, um 9." I said and he nodded pulling out two pairs of skates and handing one to me and one to Dakota.
"Thank you." Dakota said giving the guy behind the counter a grin. That was one thing I had noticed about her, she tended to flirt wherever she went, i don't even think she knew she was doing it half the time. Men were dazzled by her, it was hard not to be she was beautiful.
Usually I got the attention, with the whole fake dating Grey Thomas thing people knew who I was, being with Dakota was nice because no one even spared me a second glance. She was the prettier one, she got a lot of attention
It was a nice change
I finished pacing up my boots and checking to make sure they didn't hurt me to stand. Dakota has already gotten up and was walking towards the ice. I wasn't sure how today was gonna go, it had been awhile since I had been on skates let alone ice so this would be a bit of a change.
"Come on Mars." Dakota said and I stopped walking. My eyes widened a bit when I heard her say my old nickname. Michael was one of the few men that called me Mars and he was defiantly the one who used it the most. Ryan occasionally used it but I hated it.
Suddenly it was like I was standing on the courtyard again with a gun in my hand, staring down at his lifeless body. I had done it, it had been my fault, I killed Michael. I didn't feel bad for killing him, which just made me feel even worse.
I killed a man, it terrified me that I didn't care. He was just laying there, not moving and I watched as the color drained from his face.
I had seen a lot of people killing other people on TV and I had never thought twice about it, but I had done it, I had actually killed someone.
