The Special Ones [UNDER EDITING]

Colors

        I wake up to see up to a figure moving around in the darkness of my room, I shrug it off thinking I'm seeing things and proceed to lay down, not before looking around and see moving around again. Now, fully awake and aware of my surroundings, wondering what to do I remember I have a pocket knife and pepper spray in the side of my mattress. I fumble for my knife and spray but all I can think is 'light would be really freaking useful right now' almost instantaneously I see a faint purple glow in front of me for a split second, and the light turns on. Not questioning the miracle light, I hear a rustle by my window and turn around with my knife and pepper spray in position, when I something that somewhat calms me.

"Why are you in my room at--- 2 am!" I exclaim looking at Neo annoyedly.

I roll my eyes as I see Jax and Stormy climbing through the window.

"Hey," Jax and Stormy say groggily.

"Alright, I need to know why we 're having this little late night meeting in these wonderful early morning hours," I say sarcastically.

"Well we all had these weird things happening to us, and we wanted to talk to you about that thing that happened with you during the 'accident'." They all nod their heads in agreement.

Ok... I look at them confused as to what they were talking about, I know I had a weird feeling a the time of the accident but as far as I know, I didn't do or see anything strange.

"Well" Stormy starts 

      "I was having a nightmare about the incident earlier, and I woke up and went to the roof to calm down because it's my favorite place. When I made it to the roof I still wasn't calming down, I was pacing and breathing heavy so while pacing I trip on a piece of the awning. I was falling and I tried to grab one of the vines but it was too weak and snapped. I was ready for the fall, and put my hands out to try to balance for the fall and then see a kinda dark green glow and then the vines around the houses started growing into a ladder in the side of the house I could use to climb back up." the guys all look at her in awe, and I just look sleepy while she stares at the ground and fiddles with her fingers.

"So...are you all gonna stare at me or talk?" She asks rhetorically, I speak up.

      "I mean there's nothing we can really say, I guess you have some type of power I guess.". I mean there really is nothing else I can say, I'm not going to be like 'oh my god, you're a freak, your so weird blah, blah, blah. That's not really necessary, so I say the only thing I can think of.

"Anybody else?" Neo stands up and speaks.

     "Well, I went to my room after dinner and tried to turn on the light by flipping the switch, after a few tries and the switch not working I decided to check on the light bulb. I lift my hand to check the light bulb, but when my hand was an Inch or so away, like Storms I saw a faint glow but white. Then the light turned on." Neo finishes and looks around, gaze stopping at me.

I sigh,

       "What is with looks Y'all are giving me! I'm tired and really not in the mood to try to give you the reaction you're looking for! I honestly just want to go to bed, it's not that I'm not listening, I just blatantly don't care. And also what do you want me to say, 'oh my gosh you freaks! You're so weird blah, blah, blah?' Well no, because you guys telling me these things aren't going to change my perspective of you! And to make this worse I'm hungrrrry!" I rant and whine shaking I flop on the bed from the sitting position I was in.

"Um..." Neo starts,

"We were looking at you because we thought you might have something to share as well," Neo adds raising a scrutinizing eyebrow.

      Should I tell them? Yes, you probably should you *scoffs*. You know what don't start this, I'm not arguing with you right now. I am you, you idiot. You know what I mean! You should shut up, you make yourself sound stupid. You shut up; wait you are m-

"Hello!" Neo snaps his fingers in my face interrupting my banter with my subconscious, (eww his fingers smell nasty) Anyway...

"Oh! Yeah! Well, my 'story' isn't as cool as you guys'" I say sarcastically and continue.

"Well when I was trying to find my knife and pepper spray, I kept thinking that I wished the light would come on, and like Neo And munch I saw a faint glow, mine was purple by the way; the light came on." I finish and they all just looked confused.

After that, we all drop the subject and said our goodnights. As they were leaving, I stopped Jax and pull him back in and close the window "Alright pretty boy what's up?" I ask in an interrogative tone.

"I'm not pretty I'm handsome, but I'm glad you think so highly of me!" he says arrogantly in a mock falsetto voice.

I roll my eyes at him and continue,

"You know what I mean, your hiding something and I know it. Just tell me what it is and make it easier for yourself. He sighs and rebuttals,

"I'm not hiding anything, no one asked and I don't know myself what my 'thing' is. But I'll try to explain the best I can what happened." He looks at me hesitantly and continues,

"I was bouncing a ball off my wall into the net on my door, and kept throwing, I threw the ball again Only to realize I missed and the ball was headed towards my mirror. I try to hurry up and grab the ball hits the mirror, but I trip and fall. I hold my hand out to try and catch the ball but instead, it does something else I don't know how to explain it- it slows the way I see it kinda like slow-motion. It slows it so much the way I see it I'm able to get up and grab the ball before it hits the mirror. " He finishes.

Jax finishes talking and I look at him, his face showing an expression of .....regret?

"Hey," I say grabbing his attention,

"We'll figure it out, don't stress." He nods his head and speaks,

"But you don't understand, my dad already left for another family, and my mom ran away with her drunk druggie boyfriend. They didn't want me even without this 'thing'. Now I'll never be wanted, especially with whatever this 'thing' is. Tears welled in his eyes, I pat the spot next to me on my bed.

"Don't ever think you're not wanted or loved, your friends love you, your grandma and sister love you, and my family and I love you. As long as I'm here, you'll always be loved."

I finish talking and hug, staying like that for a few minutes. I offer to let him stay over for the night-well morning. He says yes and grabs his clothes from his old drawer.

"You still hungry?"

He asks chuckling. I turn on the tv and we lay down, and that's how we fall asleep, watching Netflix and eating from my bag of snacks at 4 am.
