Im in his arms and it feels like home.I have never felt so safe, he's holding me so tight like he will never let go.I understand his fear,we have been apart for far too long but never again.I reach up and caress his face desperate for him to know I feel the exact same way.I know he fears he might lose his grip on me but my eyes tell him there's no need to fear.The need to kill his insecurities gets so great that I let him mark me, the only way he knows how.Final words of encouragement escape my mouth and he burries his head in my neck and I close my eyes and surrender to his sweet torture......
"Evie!"Ronnie's voice pulls me from my intense dream."Evie wake up!"
"What?"I groan as I try to to go back to sleep.
"First day of school."she says enthusiastically "Come on you don't wanna be late."she shakes me gently.
"Go away!"I say and pull my blanket over my head.The evil bitch pulls it back."Mom says you need to get up."
I scream into my pillow before jumping out of bed and into the shower.I make the shower quick as I don't wanna be late on my first day despite my earlier reluctance to wake up.
Ronnie is still in my room when I get out of the shower.She is busy folding my sheets a gesture that surprises me everytime.
"Don't you have school?"I ask her.
"I do but I asked Dad if he could drop me off later on because I wanna see you in your uniform."her smile tells me that she's really excited about me going to school maybe more than me.
I roll my eyes at her enthusiasm."Whatever,can you get out so I can change."
"Of course."she says completely unfazed by my attitude but then again that's how my stepmom's daughter has always been,so optimistic that sometimes I wonder if she's a fairy.
After drying my hair and putting on my new uniform I make my way downstairs.Dad looks up at me proudly and his wife has one of the biggest grins on her face.
"You look lovely dear."Alice,my stepmom,says whilest serving both my dad and Ronnie breakfast.
I give her a tight smile."Thank you."
"She's right you look great Princess."daddy says and I just smile.My family's reaction to my going to school is a bit justified because I haven't been to a normal school since I was eight.For the past nine years I have been homeschooled due to some mental difficulties but now my therapist has suggested I go to a normal school and socialize which is a relief really.
"Your uniform is nice."Ronnie says but I ignore her,I have had enough of this ass kissing for one morning.Thank the Lord we are going to different schools because the last thing I need is my annoyingly perfect stepsister following me everywhere.
"Ready ?"dad asks when we reach the school.
"Yes now please go."I sound exasperated which I am,I have had it with their attitudes.
Dad chuckles."Okay I'm going but if anything happens...."
"Nothing is going to happen now please."I gesture to his SUV.
He raises his hands in frustration."I'm going."With one final kiss on my cheek he finally leaves.
Apparently my new school was one of the most exclusive schools in Seattle and fortunately it wasn't an asylum which was what I had feared when they had first told me I was going to school.
As I walked in the hallways I was gladly amazed by the fact that they weren't crowded and grateful noone was bumbing into me.
The scotched short skirts and blue blazers kinda made me blend in quickly and I was relieved as I did not want to attract any attention to myself.But I did notice one guy looking at me, clearly not buying my "blending in" technique.I approached him.
"Hello ,I'm Heaven Ross."the dark haired boy blushed clearly embrassed to have been caught starring.
"I'm Kevin.I guess you are new here."
"Yes.First class is chemistry."
"So is mine, let's go."before I could protest Kevin hooked his arm around my shoulders and began dragging me with him.
"Kevin!"we both turned out attention to the blonde practically running to catch up with Kevin.
"Hey."she breathlessly said to Kevin though her eyes were on me.I immediately picked up jealousy from the girl who had same hair color as mine.
"What's up Ella,meet Heaven she's new."I watched as Ella went from hostile to friendly in a second,she immediately hugged me and welcomed me at the school.
"Nice meeting you Heaven."she said excitedly and I was reminded of Ronnie.
"Thanks and call me Evie."
"Of course! Come on you will love it here!"
And so I was dragged by the couple who weren't actually a couple but at least I had someone.Maybe school wouldn't be so bad after all.
