The Girl From The Other Side

Melx

Lies. All lies. Thats what I had told Jake and Delilah. Fasttech?! As if. Farrow, more like. No reason you cant bring me home? Thats the best joke Ive heard all day. I live on the other side you see. The other side of the map. The other side of the generation. The shapeshifters. They found me during my mission. At the end, of course. I cant fail, or my breathing will fail. Beep. Beep. Beeeeeep. Theyll kill me on the spot. Come home with a body, or dont come home at all. Its on a wall.

Not kidding. But Jake, that filthy cheater. He dropped me off at his house, and told me to wait in the car. I didnt listen of course, that would be dumb. Especially when I saw another girl pull up. She was beautiful, maybe more than Delilah. She walked over to me first.

Hey beautiful, are you joining us? She had beautiful hair, but no. Nice hair and a nice body doesnt mean one should cheat. No, Im good I told her with a forced smile. You go on, have your man she bounced off without another word.

Then I was curious. Join them? He must- then I looked over at his phone. He has no password, and I went over to text someone. I mean to go to Delilah, but I saw another girl first. Kendall. That must be the girl! I clicked on her profile. Little sis?!

Thats not what I was expecting, but it gave me a genius idea. I quickly saw how he texted, and sent a message to his sister.

Jake(not really) Sis, come over to my room. But be quiet, and have your phone on camera!

Kendall- ok bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be there soon, Ill take whatever photo is needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One thing was for sure, this girl must like exclamation points. But back to the task at hand. I sent me her number, and went into a dark alley about a block away. There, I shifted into a pigeon and flapped over to my house. My house on the other side.

I might as well say all about myself, as nobody knows me. Melx Farrow. Kill count, 64, give or take. Probably give. Last time I counted it was 64, and the last time I counted was 3 weeks ago. I go on missions around everyday or every other.

It depends on the target, and my sleep timer. Actually, scratch that. My dad doesn't care about my sleep count, he doesn't give a sh- Ooh- kids. So I'm lesbian, and- well, let me tell you my story, from the time I came to Jake and Delilah.

I blinked. Once. twice. Hmm, who's carrying me? I looked up. This guy was gonna kiss me? Oh HELL no. then I giggled. It was actually kind of funny, the situation that we were in. I'm lesbian I whispered, just for his reaction. So get off His face was PRICELESS. I talked with them for a while, before the cheating incident.

As soon as I got home, I looked around. Is there nobody to punish me for being out after curfew? Hmm, that's a first. As I turned around to close the door, I saw a black fly zoom in. dad. He shifted back into himself. I was in big trouble.

And where do you think you are, after curfew? he didn't give me time to answer, just slapped me across the face. My eyes started tearing up but I held the droplets back. He couldn't see me cry. He couldn't see me weak. I ran up to my room and let it all out. I sobbed until it hurt. I sobbed until my mind drifted off of all the terrible people in the world and onto Delilah.

Sweet, beautiful, innocent, blinded Delilah. Nobody deserves a cheater. I took out my phone and called her, tears held back.

Me- Hey I'm here

Del- oh my god-

And then she cried. And when she cried, I ran. Ran out of the other side. Past the school. Past the cheaters house. I ran to her. I climbed up to her room, don't ask how. Shifter skills i guess. I got into her room. She looked at me, face red, tears all over her face. Her trash can was overflowing with tissues, and she was wearing her pajamas. Some things I noticed were the long sleeves. The bloody scissors. The bloodshot eyes. Drugs. Cutting.

I ran over at the speed of light and wrapped my arms around her- but not too tight. She cried. She cried until I was sure her room would drown, and she sobbed some more. I crawled into her bed and slept with her. No sexually of course, only one of us was wishing that though. She's just too cute. After a short while I fell asleep. I smiled, and was happy. Delilah was happy.
