Chapter Five- The end of a perfect life

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!” everybody yelled. It was Nasya’s 13^th birthday. All her family and friends were at their house to celebrate. Nasya was about 5’3, with med length black hair. She was an early bloomer, as people say. She was a very beautiful girl, who would turn into a beautiful woman. “Happy Birthday Nasya.” a slightly tall, fair skinned, looking young man came up behind her smiling. She blushes and smiles, “Thank you, Darius.” Darius and Nasya kind of grew up together. They would meet in the park at night to be together. He was always very protective over her, protecting her from anything that could harm her. But today she was surprised to see him come to her party, but happy none the less. “I have a surprise for you, but we need to be alone. Can’t give it to you with so many people around. Meet in the front in 10 minutes.” Darius whispered in her ear as he gave her a hug. “Ok.” She says back. He stands up straight winking at her as he walked around to the front of her house. She smiled and blushed, watching him but not making it too obvious. 10 minutes goes by and she heads to the front of her house.

 

She sees Darius sitting on the curb as she walked towards him and sat next to him. He turns to her and smiles, “Close your eyes.” He said. She smiles back at him and closes her eyes. He pulled out a small box that had a silver cross necklace inside. He gently moved her hair to the left side and put the necklace on her. “Ok you can open them” She opened her eyes, and looked down to see a cross necklace. She lifted it up to get a better look, and instantly moves in for a hug. He was taking back by the instant hug but he hugged her back tightly. “I love it thank you so much!” she says hugging him. He pulls back a little bit to look into her eyes. Her eyes changed to a light green, as she looked back into his. “I love your eyes. They are so beautiful.” He says while staring into them, as he gently strokes her cheek. She blushes and smiles again. “Yeah right” she says. “It’s true, I don’t know any other girl who’s eyes changes to a beautiful green like yours. Your beautiful Nasya.” He says as he leans in closer to her.

 

She blushes even more, and leans in close to him. They both lean in and kiss. “Nasya!!!!” She gasps and immediately pulls back, “It’s my mother. She’s calling me. I gotta go.” She says standing up kind of quickly. He stood up beside her, and grabbed her waist pulling her into him gently. She looks up at him, her heart beating fast as she leans in for another kiss. He leans down kissing her back softly. As they kissed, she could hear her mother approaching. She pulls back and whispers, “My mother is coming, I have to go.” He just nods and releases her so she can go. She gently touches his face before heading back. He watches her leave as he smiles to himself.

 

Later that night……

 

“Did you enjoy your party Nasya?” her mother asked. She nods still thinking about the kiss Darius and her shared. Her mother could tell something was up, and smiled at her daughter. “Well it looks like someone had their first kiss.” Her father came in right when her mother said it. “What, my daughter kissing boys already?!” Her mother laughed as she pushes him up the stairs…”She’s growing up, Jeff.” He yells down the stairs to Nasya, “I wanna know who this guy is, where he lives..” he goes on and on until Melinda pushes her husband all the way up the stairs. Nasya laughed, and shortly head up to her room. She plops down on her bed sighing happily. She smiles thinking about the kiss again. She gets changed out of her skirt and tank top into her shorts and shirt. She gets into her bed smiling, hoping to dream about Darius.

 

The clocked chimed at midnight, and Nasya awoke hearing the clock. She quickly sat up as she could hear footsteps heading toward her parents room. She got up and quietly went toward her door opening a little bit, all of a sudden she heard her mother scream. She flung open the door and ran down the hall and open the door to where she saw her mother…..dead. She walked in slowly, and saw her father on the floor dead. She gasps and held her hand to her mouth. She heard the footsteps again, but they were in the bathroom, she quickly ran back to her room and locked the door. She sat on her bed as tears streamed down her face. All of a sudden there was bagging outside her door. She quickly climbed over her bed toward her window. She opened it and looked down, then back at her door. Whatever it was, it was coming through her door. She decided to jump out her window. She landed on the ground safely. She didn’t care how she didn’t get hurt jumping from a 3^rd story window but she ran as fast as she could to the police station.
