Hey everyone!! So I am back from the little break, though I haven’t really figured out where I am going with the story. I think I’m just going to go at it chapter by chapter. Anyway I can’t promise updates close together because school has been keeping me really busy and I have to really concentrate on it. So I will get them up as soon as I can!! Big shout outs to all the reviewers!! I really didn’t think it was going to be that good of a story but then I got the reviews and that gave me the motivation to keep writing. So thank you to all of those who have reviewed!! Also to all those who have put my story on alert, that just shows me that you want more!! Ha-ha!! Any way on with the chapter!! Yeah!!
Disclaimer: don’t own anything!! Duh!! Except jess!! Song by Sia.
Breathe Me
“I am small
I'm
needy
Warm me up
And
breathe me”
After a long day of school and work we were finally on our way to the house. As Kathy and Arthur chatted away and bobby and Maggie played a game of hangman, I turned on my I pod. As “Breathe Me” by Sia filled my ears, I slowly fell asleep watching the trees pass by.
I’m standing in front of him. The boy with the blue eyes that even the bluest sky to shame. He is moving closer to my shaking body. I’m still not running. Move you damn
Legs!! My body seems to have other plans, since I start to move toward him. He engulfs me in a protective hug, like something will take me away at any moment. “Jess” he whispers. How does he know my name? “Royce, please don’t leave me alone again.” Well I guess we do know each other. Why do I want him to stay? Isn’t he one of the monsters that haunt my dreams? “I know, i'm sorry doll. I won’t.” he looks down at me with warming eyes. I am so entranced by his shimmering eyes that I don’t notice how close his face is. The gap is closed. Cold lips touch trembling ones. I don’t know who closed the distance but soon the gentle kiss turns into a more urgent one. I feel his tongue on my bottom lip begging to pass through. I allow it. As tongues battle for dominance, I move my hands to grasp his hair, pushing him closer to me. We break apart so I can catch my breath. “Jess” he whispers again
“JESSICA!!” I jumped at the sound of my name. I looked around letting my eyes adjust to the dark. Kathy was standing outside the car door with her hands on her hip.
“Finally! Thought I was going to have to get a blow horn soon.”
“Ha ha” I laughed dryly as I climbed out of the car and fixed my clothes. When I looked up I saw the most breathtaking sight. There standing in all its glory was a house made of glass. I gaped at the sight.
“Amazing isn’t it” Kathy said after taking in my expression.
“I don’t think amazing would be the right word.”
“Well let’s go check out our new house!” she said as she grabbed my arm and dragged me to the front door. When we got to the door there was a man who looked to be in his mid 20’s arguing with Mr. Moss. He was in an orange jumpsuit and was saying something about the house causing a blackout.
“Look I just started and if I don’t check the basement I get fired.” The man said.
“Well that really isn’t my problem now is it?” Moss said with an evil smirk. What a dick.
“Geez who shoved a stick up your ass?” I muttered under my breath.
“Jessica Mae! Language” Arthur said while trying to hide a smile. I guess I said it a bit too loud.
“Shall we proceed?” Moss said as he gave me the death glare. Arthur then took the key and put it into the slot. The key disappeared into the door and the house began to groan with life. The lights flickered on the door opened.
“This is amazing.” Kathy said as we all took in the sight of the house. Once we got inside Moss took Arthur away to the library to signs some papers.
“Don’t go anywhere” he warned us as he walked away with the lawyer. Kathy gave me and Maggie the “let’s go look” before dashing down the hall. We all ran up the stairs in different directions. Maggie and bobby going one way and Kathy and I going the other. We ended up in this beautiful vintage room. Kathy giggled as she jumped on the bed. The golden silk comforter engulfing her.
“This is so going to be my room.” She announced as she got up to look at the bathroom. The bathroom was even more beautiful with its widow like tile. As she started the water in the bathtub I felt ice shoot up my back. I felt as If someone was watching us. I held myself as I looked around the room, looking for some sort of clue of another person.
“Paranoid much” I say to myself and join Kathy by the bathtub. We jumped at the sound of Arthur banging on the door.
“I told you to stay put” Arthur exclaimed.
“I know dad but look at this. It’s amazing” Kathy said while gesturing to the room.
“Yeah it’s beautiful. Now, where is your brother?” he said with a new kind of urgency.
“He was with Maggie” I said as I try to look around him.
“Was with Maggie. We were running and…” Maggie was cut of as we all exited the room to look for bobby. Once we entered the hallway, I got the chill again. I wrapped my arms around myself and suddenly missed the warmth I had felt in my dream. If only it were real. I thought to myself as I continued down the hall.
So yeah I don’t think this is one of my best chapters but it was okay. Sorry I took so long but I don’t know how soon I will be able to get the chapters up. I’m sort of kind of failing some of my classes. He He. So I need to really get my work down. Well until next time kiddies (ha-ha that reminded me of tales of the crypt). Now go press that pretty button to review!!
