Hope
I know what my uncle said about keeping my distance from Ruby but I go to school with her I can't exactly stay away and I just want her to know that if she ever needs anyone I'm here
As I was sat in the library I saw Ruby Make her wearing "hope how are you "she asked me smiling
I look shocked I didn't think I was supposed to have contact "I'm sorry I am I'm fine thank you I just didn't think I was allowed to speak to you "
She started to laugh "that's just for your parents and our uncle and aunts but I'd like to be friends with you" she said
"Yeah I'd really like to be friends to" I smiled
She sat down opposite to me "I Hope you know that I'm always here for you I know it must be difficult to be supernatural but different I speak from experience text long time to accept what you are and I hope that you know that no one gets to define you as a freak "
I looked at her in shock "how did you know that people are calling me that "
She started to laugh" I overheard some of the cheerleaders talking about it during practice not to worry I dealed with them "
"What did you do "I asked her
"I simply told them if they didn't leave my cousin alone that they were going to be off the team and I will make sure their life is a living hell and I have the power to do that considering my uncle is the devil " she said without a care in the world
"Thank you I didn't think I could take much more it's hard being different isn't it "I said to her trying to see how she copes with it all
"Yeah it's difficult but people only bully someone because they're jealous they don't like the fact that you're special you are one-of-a-kind just like me and that's what they don't like you to show them confidence prove to them that their opinion means nothing because it doesn't at the end of the day the only person that can define you is yourself "
"Thanks Ruby "
"It's not a problem but can I ask you something can you tell your father to leave me alone he keeps accusing me of trying to hurt your family and all I really want us to know my dad I'm just really scared that he's going to cost me my time with my father "
I look shocked at her I couldn't believe what I was hearing "my dad threatened you "
"Yeah and I really don't know what to do I'm just scared that my father is going to leave me "
"You have nothing to worry about uncle Elijah would never leave you all he's ever wanted was to be a father and now he has his own daughter and I will deal with my father he will know to leave you alone "I said trying to give her comfort
"Thank you excuse me I have a boyfriend to go see and try and arrange him to meet my dad which should be fun I'll see you around Hope"
I look to her I can't believe that girl is my cousin, I definitely won the lottery "yeah I'll see you later Ruby good luck "
