Chapter Four - Uncertain

I hung up the phone, smiling bright for the first time in a long time.

"So...you want me to get you there?" Christian asked, probably scared to be the only normal one in the whole place.

I said nothing and just walked in the direction of the building. Secretly, though, I did need his help.

To my pleasure, Christian continued to follow, jogging to catch up. "Will you tell me the adress?" he asked gently. I gave it to him and I could hear him putting it into his phone...he must have a GPS in it. With that, we continued to walk the streets of Minneapolis, laughing at each other and, surprisingly, talking.

I barely ever talk, but with Christian, I answered ll his questions with bitter honesty.

"If you can't see yourself, why'd you bleach your hair white?"

"Because, I want to tell myself I look the way I want to look. It's not like the people around me can't see." I said, as I walked with him, hand on his shoulder as he lead me.

 

"This is it...I think." He said, clearly weirded out by it.

"What does it look like?" I asked, curious. Usually, I don't like asking that, it makes me seem weak, but I really wanted to know.

"Um...It's some sort of run down wearhouse. It's gray, but it has 'Nocturne' spray painted across the two metal doors..." Christian stated, clearly unsure of whether this place was safe or not.

I, on the otherhand, was sure it was, and started cautiously walking up the steps. When I reached the top (there were only two front steps), I opened the door...

 

"Ree!" someone screamed, clearly happy. Considering I had only met one person, I knew it was Juno before she jumped on me and hugged me tight.

I got back to my awkward and not-so-happy self pretty quickly. I shrugged out of her embrace and smiled weakly. Christian was still at my side, and I could hear the nervousness of his breathing.

"Let me show you around, Ree!" Juno said, a little too excited.

"Show me around? I can't see anything..." I said, which made Juno laugh. I wonder if she thought it was some sort of joke.

"I mean introduce you to everyone and tell you where we do what" she said as she dragged me and Christian with her like we were servants.

"How old are you?" Christian asked a bit rudely.

Juno paused, and I heard a growl escape her lips...or at least I think it was her. It sounded nothing like the kind and overexited Juno I had seen over a second ago.

"What's it to ya, a*s hole!" she shouted angrily...to my surprise, I heard no head turns or gasping noises. Was this an everday occurance?

Christian was freaked out to the bone, though. He was breathing heaving and I heard him take a few steps back. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you! I w-w-was j-just asking..." He said, suttering like an incoherent bafoon.

Juno stepped foward, probably closing in on Christian...and I was right in the middle. I stepped away, to listen from a distance.

"Split-Personality Disorder." A male's voice said. I gasped in surprise, and in turn felt hands on my shoulders...firm, smooth, kind hands.

"My name's Jimmy." He said, like telling me his name would stop my heart rate.

It did.

I don't know why, but knowing that, in some way, this guy was like me, made me feel closer to him than I would anyone else...

"Juno. She has it." he said, making me jump out of my thoughts.

"Wh-what? She has what?" I said, clearly embarassed.

"Split-personality disorder." he said, chuckling a little at my stupidity.

"O-oh." I said, giggling awkwardly.

I listened to Juno and Christian and noticed it all back to normal...

 

"So, I see your girlfriend met Jimmy, Christian. You better be careful."

"She's not my girlfriend." Christian said, not even stuttering at all.

I knew I had no chance.

Jimmy clenched his hands tighter, giving me a feeling of safety and fear at the same time. "Then she's mine for the taking?" he asked. Before I knew it, Jimmy had kissed my nech, wrapped his arm around me and placed his hands on my waist.

But not before letting his hands traveling down my chest.

 

I freaked.

 

I pushed away, stumbling forward and into Christian. My breathing was heavy, but I wasn't sure f it was from pleasure or fear.

I hear Jimmy chuckle. "Sorry, I was feeling you because I can't see. I don't think you understand what that's like."

My eyes bugged out, and I heard Juno laugh histerically.

"I'm blind!" I shouted, partly annoyed and partly happy to find someone like me.

I'm not sure which side was dominant.

I ran towards Jimmy, hugging him, trying to ignore the fact that he had tried to score on me just a while ago...

And I felt it again. Jimmy tightened his grip on my, hugging me tight and squishing my b***s. Was this his intention? I wasn't sure, but I told my self it was just him having someone blind like him and let him hug me.

"I go to Maple High." I said, seeing if he did too...but then I realized we had said it in unision.

Christian scowled, so I wrapped my arms around Jimmy's neck, trying to irritate him as much as possible.

"Want to go out with me?" Jimmy said, pretty blunt.

"We could try. But no funny buisness."

What? He was one of my kind.

It's good, but Jimmy seems a bit untrustworthy....

This is very well written. It's an interesting plot. Keep it up. Can't wait to see what happens!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A ripping piece of material, I love our use of narrative as plotted points, a sheer twisted word effort, keep writing, cant wait to see what happens next.
