Moonlight (Part 4)

I sat against the wall and looked up at the ceiling, which was painted to look like you were underwater. The whole room had an underwater theme to it. Dolphins, fish and water plants were

Painted on the walls and the carpet was the color of sand on the ocean floor. Even the bed had a fish and dolphin bed spread on it. I looked up at Jessie and Jake, who were sitting across from me staring at each other. Jessie and Chris were very different looking. I hadn’t really noticed it before with everything happening but they really didn’t look like siblings. Jessie had long, straight blond hair, blue eyes, tan skin, and was about 5’4. If I remembered right Chris had straight brown hair that ended right above his eyes, which were chocolate brown, pale skin, and was about 6’2. There only similarities were there lips, which were a bright red color. Another bang against the door brought me back to earth.

“I’ve never seen him like this before, it’s scaring me.” Jessie said looking down. Then I noticed blood on the floor and saw that Jessies palm had four nail marks in them that were bleeding.

“Your hand’s bleeding.” I said

“Oh that’s nothing.” She said as she got up and walked towards a nightstand and pulled open a drawer with and pulled open a drawer with a first aid kit in it. Then she pulled out a medium sized band aid and walked over next to me. She opened a normal door and I saw the bathroom again. “What are you wearing?” I looked down at what I was wearing.

“Clothes?” I said sarcastically.

“Well you look like a hooker.”

“They’re your clothes!”

“I got them in Hawaii! I never even wear them!”

“So I will for you.”

“Whatever.” She walked into the bathroom, rinsed her hand off, and then put the band aid she had across her palm. “Now let’s pick something out for you.”

“No.”

“Will you at least let me pick something out that you might like first?” I rolled my eyes.

“You’re going to do it anyways.”

“Yup!” She ran to the closet, opened the door, and disappeared. I rolled my eyes and looked over at Jake. He was raising an eyebrow at me.

“What?” I asked raising my hands in a I-don’t-know-why-you’re-raising-an-eyebrow-at-me gesture.

“You could be a little bit nicer to her you know.”

“Why, because you like her?” He looked like I had hit him across the face.

“Why do you have a problem with her?” He said through gritted teeth. I looked down. Maybe because I don’t get along with people well, or how many people do I have as friends? I thought but instead I found myself saying,

“I don’t know.” I shrugged my shoulders. He sighed and looked up at the ceiling. He looked sad but before I could apologize Jessie walked in.

“I think I found something you would like!” She said laying the clothes down on the bed. There was a purple shirt with a red sleeve that continued onto the shirt. Red skinny jeans, purple converse high tops with red laces, a purple fingerless glove that looked like it would go halfway up my forearm, and what looked like a temporary tattoo of a red snake.

“What the heck is this?” I said holding the snake up.

“I’ll show you.” She dragged me into the bathroom by my right arm, Then she took the snake out of my hand and put it on my right palm. She wrapped the body around my arm twice so the tail ended a quarter of the way up my forearm, directly underneath the head. Then she sprayed it with water and peeled the wrapping off.

“Why do you have a temporary tattoo?”

“Because I don’t want to permanently mark my skin. Imagine being 090 and having a tattoo of a red snake coiling around your wrist.”

“Good point.”

“Exactly.” She smiled at me and grabbed me by the arm, again, and dragged me back into the other room. She threw the clothes at me and pushed me into the bathroom.

“You know you could just ask me to move instead of pushing and pulling me places!” I shouted through the door.

“I know but it’s funnier this way.” She shouted through the door. “And try those on.”

“Yes mother.” I put them on along with my belt. They fit amazingly well even though I was at least 6 inches taller than her, and they  looked better then the clothes I had on a second ago. I walked out of the bathroom and threw the old clothes I was wearing at Jessie, holding my DCs.

“Perfect!” She squealed.

“Are you okay?” I asked her.

“Yeah…?”

“Are you sure because I’m pretty sure you’re mental.”

“Whatever.” I yawned.

“Oh you must be tired. Here I’ll show you my emergency room. You guys can sleep there for the night. It has two full beds and everything.” She said.

“Ah okay but” Before I could finish she cut me off.

“Oh it will be alright.” She pulled me back into the bathroom and threw a door.

“Sorry it’s not that homey.” I looked around. The room was painted black and there was two purple full sized beds in it.

“No it’s nice but why can’t I go? I have school.”

“My dumb planning. I only put one door in and it’s in the other room.”

“That’s smart.”

“Yeah I know.”

“Well sleep well.”

“Um I know you just got me into these clothes but do you have pj shorts and a tank top I could borrow?”

“Sure.” She left the room then came back about 10 seconds later with plaid pj shorts and a white tank top.

“Whoa you actually got me something I wanted.” I said jokingly. She smiled.

“Yup. Sleep well.” Then she started leaving.

“Hey wait.” She stopped and turned to face me.

“Sorry if I came off kinda rude. I just have a hard time getting to know people, that’s all.”

“Don’t worry about it.” She smiled and left the room. I set my DCs down by the closest bed and changed into the pj shorts and tank top. Then I reached into one of my belt pockets and pulled out my iphone. I turned it on. ‘No service’ It said in the left corner in bold letters.

“Dang it!” I put it in my DC and laid down in bed, the sound of the things scream echoing in my ear until I finally fell asleep.

Ya this capter is pretty boring. I guess not all chapters can be cool though. Im thinking since more people are starting to read this im not going to keep people posted unless they tell me they want to so if you want me to keep you posted then just say the word.

Oh and be sure to tell all your friends!
