My Guardian Angel

Chapter Two: Flashback

I fall into bed. My whole drive home was filled with curiousity. How did Damian know about Thursday night? 

Thalia wasn't here yet so I'm happy that I have some time to think. Damian did seem familiar... maybe he had something to do with Thursday. I finally decide I'd confront him tomorrow about it, when someone walks into the house. 

"I'm back girls!" Thalia yells. I laugh and run downstairs. I jump on Thalia and give her a bear hug.

"I've missed you sis!" I say, letting go of her.

"Yeah, I've missed you too." Thalia says. Mom walks into the room and walks over to hug Thalia. 

"We've both missed you." Mom says.

"So, Ivy, got a boyfriend yet?" Thalia asks.

"Oh my gosh! You've asked me that only a million times! My answer is still no!" I say, pushing Thalia. 

"Woah, what happened to your arm?" Thalia asks.

"I hurt it." I reply. 

"Alright then. As a special treat I'm taking you two out for dinner tomorrow!" Thalia announces.

"Okay, thanks." Mom says. Thalia drags me over and sits me down on the couch and starts up a deep conversation.

We talk about everything that happened in our two years apart. Thalia went to a university in Europe, and she came home this year, but she's going to go again for another two years after this one. Thalia looks different from when I last saw her, she had cut her brown curly hair so it is now at her shoulders and her blue eyes look brighter. 

"-and the teacher was soooo embarassed he walked out of the room!" Thalia laughs as she tells her story of how her friend had embarssed the supply teacher.

"That must've been awesome." I giggle.

"So how 'bout you, what is really new and juicy?" Thalia asks.

"Well, I met a new friend today." I start.

"Omigod, you have friends?" Thalia asks sarcasticlly.

"His name's Damian." I say, ignoring her statement.

"Ooh, a guy friend... so eye colour, hair colour, clothing type, and does he have abs?" Thalia asks. I roll my eyes but I fill her in.

"Electric blue eyes, white blonde hair, he wears jeans and plain t-shirts, and how the heck am I supposed to know if he has abs?" I ask.

"I dunno, ask him!" Thalia says.

"Yeah, 'cause I'd totally do that." I say sarcasticlly.

"We both know you would!" Thalia says moving her eyebrows up and down, causing me laughter.

"Girls, dinner!" Mom calls from the kitchen. We race into the kitchen and help mom put everything on the table. As I put food on my plate theres a knock on the door. 

"I'll get it." Thalia says, spinning around and half running to the front door. Mom and I here some muffled voices and a thanks then Thalia comes back to the kitchen.

"Who was it?" I ask.

"Oh Ivy, still forgeting things at places." Thalia says throwing me my music bag. 

"Shut up." I say.

"It was Chris... and my, my, Chris has grown, you could totally take on a man like him!" Thalia says.

"Oh my gosh, NO Thalia, no, no, no!" I say.

"Okay, okay!" Thalia laughs putting her hands up in a surrender.
