Wings by Breanna Maloney (an ebook reader .TXT) 📕

asked
"No I went to Narnia!" I said sarcastically

I was planing my outfit for the next day when he walked in.

"What are you doing?" he asked
"I am picking out what I want to wear tomorrow."

He walked to the other side of my closet and started going thru my dressers. I went back to concentrating on what to wear. It had to be perfect because of the game. I picked out a pair of dark jeans and a Navy blue tank top, with silver converse and a teal, navy blue, and silver headband that I had made awhile ago for just this type of thing. I turned around and saw Erik looking thru my old sketch book.

"I like this one." he said while showing me a picture I had drawn of a beach.
"That one is my favorite, but I have never been to a beach so I have no clue where I came up with it." I shrugged

I folded up my clothes neatly and set them in a pile on one of my dressers. I walked out of my closet and went to another door on the other side of my room. I opened the door and walked into my personal lounge/ theater, I flopped down onto a couch while Erik stood there gaping at everything in the room (popcorn maker, soda despenser, candy shelf, 60" TV, a giant couch, some bean bags, etc. etc.).

"Well are you just gonna stand there and stare?" I asked while flipping thru the DVD's
"Uhh, is this all yours?"
"Yeah why?"
"It's nothing" he said while siting down on one of the bean bags

I picked out "The Breakfast Club", I popped it into the DVD player and went to hit the lights and as soon as I flipped the switch, it happened again.

It seemed as tho the pain was worse but I was able to keep quiet and not let Erik know what was happening to me.

"I'll be right back." I squeaked out before rushing out of the room and into my bathroom.

Once I was in the bathroom I started screaming again . . . blood curdling screams. I heard someone pounding on my bathroom door. I kept screaming, I got tunnel vision and blacked out right as Erik came bursting thru my bathroom door.

. . . I was dreaming I could fly, I had blue-grey wings that shimmered in the sunlight. I landed in a grassy field where 3 men in white robes were standing. I walked towards them.

"It's time you remember your past." the first one said
"Dementhos needs you." said the second one
"We need you." they all said in unison
"But..." I was cut short when a pain, worse than the mind pain thats happened twice, ran over my back, my beautiful wings were shrinking back into me and it felt as if someone was cutting off an arm or leg, once they were gone my dream disappeared and I was back in my bathroom with Erik. We were in a siting position and he was behind me, touching my back.

"Wha-?" I started asking
"It's nothing. But I should go and you should get some sleep." he said while walking away
"Oh, okay, well can I give you a ride tomorrow?"
"Sure"

I heard the front door click shut.

"Well today has been a wonderful day." I said to myself while getting up

I walked out of my bathroom and went back into my lounge/ theater. I flopped down on the couch, I was laying on something hard. I sat back up and I saw a necklace with a weird crystal on it.

"Huh? It must be Erik's"

I got up off my couch and went downstairs and walked out the front door barefoot and across the street to Erik's house. I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. Eventually Erik answered the door. He had a weird jacket on that had two slits in the back. Whatever floats his boat I guess.

"Ummm is this yours?" I held up the crystal necklace

He looked confused at first and then it seemed like something clicked in his mind and his expression went completely blank.

"No." he said in a flat voice "Look I have to go, bye" he shut the door in my face

I stood there for a moment before turning around and heading back into my house.

That night I stayed up later than usual starring a the necklace, it puzzled me, I felt like I had seen it before, but not recently almost like I had seen it when I was younger or in a dream, a dream that I don't remember. I fell asleep holding the strange necklace in my hand.
I woke up to my phone vibrating. It was a text from my best friend in the whole world Kelsie, the text read "Get up sleepy head, you have to get to school ASAP, hottie is looking for you <3"

I laughed as I got up. I went to my closet and grabbed the outfit I already had planned out for today, along with a towel, and went to my bathroom. I set my clothes on my bathroom counter and the towel on the floor close to the shower. I started the water, and got undressed while i was waiting for it to warm up. I turned around and looked at my bare back in the mirror. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with it, it didn't feel sore. I shrugged and got into the shower, shivering at the feel of the hot water burning my skin at first before turning into a blissful warmth. I tilted my head back into the sheet of water coming from the shower head. I quickly washed my hair and body when I realized I was spending too much time in the shower.

I got out of the shower and quickly dried of my body. The doorbell rang when I was standing butt naked in my bathroom about to put my clothes on. I sighed and wrapped the towel around my body and went to get the door since Aunt Jenn wasn't here because of work. I opened the door to a speechless Erik, his eyes traveled over my body, clothed only with a damp towel that fell mid thigh, his eyes darkened with lust, he took a step forward and reached out as if to pull me close. But he dropped his hand and looked away.

"Go get dressed already."

I turned around and went up to my room, walked into my bathroom and shut the door. I leaned against the door for support. I wasn't supposed to feel this way about Erik, I like Brad, he is the coolest and hottest guy in school. What am I going to do.

I got dressed quickly and brushed my nearly dry hair, put my headband on, and left my bathroom.
I sat on my bed while putting on my shoes, making sure to tie the laces with care. I grabbed my backpack and left my room, shutting the door behind me.

I walked down the stairs to join Erik in the kitchen, I grabbed a strawberry pop tart from the cupboard and turned to Erik.

"You ready?" I asked while adjusting my backpack on my back
"Yea"

We walked out to my car in silence. I unlocked the car and slid into the drivers seat. I drove to school in absolute silence. I parked in the school parking lot, got out of my car and started walking towards the school, as soon as Erik was out and had shut the door I locked my car from 10 feet away. I ignored him completely. Once I got to the front doors Kelsie came out of nowhere and attacked me with a hug and led me to the lunch room, where Brad was.

Brad was wearing his football jersey, it had a big number 15 on the back. I walked up next to him.

"Hey!" I said with a smile
"Hey you" Brad said with a wink "come with me?"
"Sure" he grabbed my hand and we walked out the back lunch room doors
"So where are we going?" I asked after the lunch doors shut behind us
"Somewhere private" he said with a sly smile

Brad pulled me along until we were in a little alcove that was hidden by trees

"Nice" I said while looking at the beautiful trees with their red and orange leaves

Brad smiled and lightly touched my cheek. I looked in his eyes, and suddenly he had me pushed up against one of the alcove walls, his lips brushing against mine. I moaned slightly. He took that as an invitation and pressed me even further into the wall, our bodies pressed together, he deepened the kiss, slipping his tongue into my mouth, our tongues danced. One of this hands was behind my head keeping me there, not that I want to be somewhere else. His other hand roamed over my body, it rested on my hip for a short while before he slipped it under my shirt and against my bare flesh, I moaned. His hand went up further and lightly stroked my breast. I stopped kissing him.

"Please stop." I barely choked out

He drew back from me instantly

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that." he said with his head hung low
"Don't worry, it's not you, I just cant be late to class" I said with a smile
"Oh, Ok!" he said suddenly happy again.

We walked back towards the school, holding hands.

Once inside the school building, Kelsie came out of nowhere once again and attached herself onto my free arm.

"Where do you come from?" I asked baffled
"Everywhere!" she said while motioning to the air around her

I laughed at her. Kelsie hugged me when we had to part ways. Brad and I walked to our first period English class. I let go of his hand out side of the door. I walked to my seat and set down my backpack and unloaded the materials I needed. I grabbed my sketchbook and started drawing random doodles. I got a sharp headache. My drawing grew slightly blurry. I blinked and it went away. Strange. I riffled thru my backpack for Advil
