Out of the Blue

If you could remember

Nathan put the case down on the grass and opened it. He must’ve been trying to practice about the paper-crane-thing, too.

“Do you know how to make paper cranes?”

“I have no idea”

“It might take us hours here”

He took out a sheet of paper from the box and folded it several times. It reminded me of Nathan, even though it was really Nathan. His fingers were so light moving he could actually make this kind of origami. Me, Paige and Caylah can’t even make a paper crane ourselves.

“Here”

Another paper crane was on my hand, I took out the crane that Nathan gave me and the one he just made a minute ago. It was in the same shape and size. His cool green eyes were gazing on mine. We made an eye-contact; I had a vision of our sixteen years. He leaned closer making our forehead stick together, until our lips actually touched. I had a feeling that was really familiar, the time when we all were just sixteen when he actually kissed me at the beginning of summer.

Nathan’s POV

I felt like Ellie was actually with me, Lea had this familiar feeling as I kissed her. Oh my God, she’s Tom’s sister. I pulled and looked at her.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry”

“No. It’s OK. If you can remember me you can understand”

Okay, this was a bit confusing. What was Lea saying? What is she talking about? There were so many things I remembered before I was formed with a band.

“I’m Ellie Collins, I was taken here remember. They drugged the two of us and I was then taken here. I know you haven’t exactly remembered what happened to me or where we both were drugged just not to see each other be torn apart. But if you ever forget, here’s proof that I am Ellie Collins”

She took out a piece of paper from her pocket and showed me an equation a.k.a code. No one actually knows this corny code; it was only me and Jessica. It was a bit out of hand but what the code really was saying was for Ellie that is now Lea.

I crashed my lips again just for this moment. She might have remembered our first kiss. The event happened in her attic bedroom while talking about something. She was in a piece silence while we did. I pulled away and stood her up so we could go home.

Lea’s POV

Nathan and I were in my room talking about something. Jay was the only one who knows about our relationship. I didn’t want Tom knowing about this. Jay was reading my Teen Vogue magazine, while I was sitting on Nathan’s lap and we were talking about my college life. I was really into acting, not modeling. So I decided of attending Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Someone knocked on the door making me standup to expect if it was gonna be Tom. Max rushed in my room and locked the door.

“Siva-squatch is after me”

“You really took Nathan’s offensive term as his name?”

They all nodded. Jay and Nathan stood up and went out my room.

“I’ll be right back”

Nathan whispered in my ear before going out and closing the door behind him. Max gave me an awkward look and sat down on the bed.

“What did Nathan tell you?”

“You really have to know everything?”

He nodded and walked towards me. I raised my eyebrow and grabbed my magazine.

“Tom said ‘No alone time with my sister’”

He rolled his eyes playfully and rushed outside letting Siva, Jay and Nathan inside. I sat down beside Nathan; Siva gave me an awkward look while Jay looked over to Siva and locked the door.

“What have the two of you been doing while we all were looking in a different direction?”

Jay gave Nathan and me an ‘Are-you-gonna-tell-him-look’.

“Don’t tell the glare-giver that the two of us are actually dating”

“You are?”

We both nodded. Tom went inside making me stand up to separate from Nathan.

“Were you eavesdropping?”

“No. I was downstairs. I just ran up here as fast as I can”

His eyes had some madness on them which meant he had found out something he doesn’t like. He approached Nathan and pulled his hand. My heart was beating faster. I didn’t know if there’s ever worry in my eyes. There was still an eye-contact between me and Nathan. Tom went out with Nathan following him; he slammed the door as soon as he got out.

“What do you think he wants from Nathan? Do you think he found out?”

I shrugged and crashed on my bed. I didn’t feel like I wanted to talk to anyone anymore.

“Guys, can you leave me for a few minutes?”

They both nodded and went out the door. I locked my door and again crashed on my bed. What if Tom did find out? How will mine and Nathan’s relationship turn out to be?

Nathan’s POV

I sat down in front of Tom who was stroking his hair over and over again while walking back and forth in a straight line around the living room. I was just looking at their photo album I found in Lea’s closet. If he wanted to talk, he better stop walking around like mustard in a hotdog.

“You know Tom. I’m just going down the basement if you need me. You seem to be enjoying your company by walking around the room in a straight line”

 “He’s just warming up”

Siva followed me to the basement and suddenly all of us were down there. Except for Lea; I don’t know where she is right now.

“Where’s Lea?”

“She’s up in her room. She said she needed some alone time; also she thinks Tom was gonna give you a life-lesson”

“The typical Ellie Collins”

We continued going down the stairs and we stopped in front of the light switch. I turned it on and looked at all of them. Well, we all were searching for some totally embarrassing baby-pictures of Tom. Let me just say, I wanted to be entertained.

“Nate, you’d be entertained by watching TV or spending time with your girlfriend than searching for embarrassing baby pictures. Yeah, you spoke your thoughts out loud”

Jay nodded and continued walking.

“L.O.L”

They all stopped in the middle of the staircase and looked back at me.

“Was that ‘lots of love’ or ‘laugh out loud’?”

“B”
