Follow your Dreams: September 15
September/15
I can’t stop thinking about the world Flowan… and Nico… hehe I know I am crazy. If you had just met the most beautiful person in your life wouldn’t you be thinking of him or her? I can’t stop thinking about Nico. What if he has a girlfriend already?
Charlie tried to text me
Hey Blair? Are you okay? Do you want to meet up today?
No way, I am not going to answer him.
Blair????? Please answer me!!!!
Nope, never gonna happen I am not gonna answer I want Nico, not him. Who would not want Nico… I want to go back to Flowan! Maybe I should talk to Charlie, no I am not, I can’t talk to Charlie.
I made my way downtown, people gave me some mean looks, a little girl even stuck her tongue out at me, why are people so mean? I sat down on a bench and pulled out my phone and looked through pictures of Chelsea and I. There was nothing to do. Why was I hurting myself farther?
I got up from my bench and boom a boy with black hair bleached on the tips ran past me swearing loud oths. Of course I ran after him, why not, this is my favorite thing to do. I dashed after him and he went down some really dark allies. I kept following him.
“Hey why are you running?”
I called out not sure why I even decided to talk
He looked scared but spun around to face me with a grin on his face. He had blood dribbling from his lips and a nasty bruise on his face.
“OOh I got company, you are so stupid. Why did you follow me?”
Nobody calls me stupid, nobody! “Um I love getting into trouble you looked like you were up to no good…” I said.
“Ha, you're crazy!”
“Yeah , I know I am crazy, why are you bleeding?”
“Got into a fight… are you any good with a knife?”
“Um, I do not know if I am.”
“Let's test your dodging skills, shall we?”
“No-”
Before I could say anything else a knife flew at me and grazed my ear. I felt warm blood flow down my cheek. Another knife flew at him this time I dogged. He picked up another knife I was too late to dogge and it went through my arm. It was not the pain but the surprise. Now I know why when people get stabbed in movies they look surprised they don’t cry out in pain. My arm was in so much pain now. I tried to move but I could not, the pain was paralyzing
“Ha you are in pain aren’t you? I told you not to follow me.”
“Why… why are you like this?”
“I am not like anything you followed me, you got yourself into this.”’
I flinched in pain and anger. I tried to move but screamed. He came closer to me and put his knife on my throat, slowly moving it across my neck.It did not cut, He was messing with me. I let out a scream and with my good hand punched him in the face. He stumbled back with a look of shock on his face. I ignored my pain, got up and held up my fit. He laughed and spit on the ground.
“Come at me with your knife I don’t care.”
“Your crazy”
“I’ve been called worse.”
Before anything could happen Nico appeared next to me
“Nico…”
“Take this.” he handed me a bow and arrow and then vanished.
“Nico, wait, no!”
I took the bow and it came to me it felt so natural. I put the arrow in the bow, pulled back and shot it. I didn't miss hitting him in the arm.
“There we are fair now.”
He screamed in pain and fell to the ground
“Hey, it was only an arrow in the arm.”
“It's poisoned!”
“No-”
“Your from Flowan… you-”
His voice faltered and then he fell face first on the ground dead.
“Oh my gosh! I just killed someone! What am I gonna do? What do murderers do with a body?”
I ran to the body and tried to pick it up but couldn't. I tried over and over again… I finally managed to pick the body up but then I dropped it and stuffed it in a huge cardboard box. I know it's totally not the best way to go. I can’t just be carrying a dead body out in the middle of the day can I?
I willed myself to disappear and kept my bow with me. I was really beginning to like my new weapon. I was beginning to lose blood quite fast now not to mention I was in a lot of pain. I decided I should probably go to Charlie’s house for help. I made my way to his house and willed myself to be visible and then passed out.
When I woke up I was in a bed, probably his bed, Charlie was not in the room. I tried to sit up but couldn’t.
“Charlie?”
Charlie came into my room and sat down next to me
“Don’t move, it will only hurt.”
“But I wanna move.”
“But you can’t move you, you don’t know what could happen to you.”
“Well you do, so tell me!”
“The metal blade was poisoned; you could die being a Flowan warrior and being a normal human.”
“What?”
“I know it's weird but you have to understand you can’t move or it will spread.”
“I don’t wanna die!”
“Good, so don’t move.”
I looked at Charlie like he was crazy which made him crack up. I could not help but laugh along too.
“Oh oh oh, now you're laughing.”
“Don’t push it.”
I stared at Charlie. He looked right back at me and our eyes stared into each other's eyes.
“Charlie… That guy in Flowan, Nico, Is he single?”
Charlie burst out laughing and slapped his leg. He was laughing so hard.
“What?”
“I am just surprised that you are thinking about that when you are dying. To answer your question no he is taken.”
“Oh”
My face fell Charlie must have noticed because he cracked a grin
“But I am single if that matters to you.”
I laughed but didn’t answer. He noticed and took advantage of the moment.
“I have always loved you, ever since I met you. I know I might not be the guy you are looking for, Maybe I am too happy or what not. I can’t change who I am but you can alway change who you love. Please don’t get mad at me for telling you I love you. I can’t help it, you have so much spunk in you, you are beautiful, and I just love you so much.”
I could not help but smile at what a perfect place to tell me he loved me.
“I need to think about that, okay?”
“Okay, but what is there to think about?”
“A lot just let me think about my answer to you okay?”
“If you loved me you would answer me instantly”
“No, I would not be answering you instantly, You know me, I think through things.”
“HA, you think before you act? Did you think before you almost got killed? Did you think of the consequences? Did you think that maybe you should not have followed after that guy?”
“Well I don’t think about things that could kill me but things that could affect my friendship… about love.”
Charlie looked at me and smirked but it turned into a grin.
Love,
Blair
