Stay

Crystal Cries

Nyla: Hall?

Hall looked at me like I was a mere flower. Fragile as ever. As Jay noticed Hall staring, Jay grabbed me by my arm and dragged me by the stairs. It hurt me so much by how irritated he had acted by this.

Nyla: Owww!

Jay: Why are u looking at him like that?!

Nyla: Why do u care? As far as I can see u never became my guardian.

Jay: So your saying you didn't feel anything at all upstairs?

I just stared at him when I finally realized why he was so mad. Oh. He was going to kiss me. And I had felt the intensity while he made my spine tingle.

Nyla: Jay. Its not like were dating or anything so I shouldn't have to be monitored by you're weird boy hormones twenty four seven. Okay!

I just then realized that I said that really loud. I saw Claudia and Hall staring at me like I just accidentally dropped an atomic bomb in the house. I walked away from him to Claudia in the kitchen.

Nyla: Do u mind if I have a talk with those two privately?

Claudia: Of course. Just don't get too loud okay?

Nyla: okay.

I walk by Jay to grab his wrist this time and lead him to the couch with Hall sitting to the right. I end up sitting in the middle of the two slightly stressed by what Hall has seen.

Nyla: So first, what are u doing here Hall?

Hall: Well I thought maybe we could talk about us.

Jay: Us? What does he mean Nyla?

Hall: I mean that I want to be able to get to know you better Nyla.

Jay: Nyla already gave you enough information presuming that u already know where she lives. Right Nyla?

Nyla: Actually I think that he does need to learn more about me. And, I also think that u need to learn more about the door. Its been wanting to know about you lately. So why don't you go ahead and see what it wants to do.

Jay gets up and walks out the door with a slam. I look at Hall. His eyes are closed. Peace. I just stared at his features and noticed that he had a mark on the lower part of his neck. It looked as if it was Still trailing down his back. He opened his eyes looking at me. As I finally stopped staring at his mark I realized that he noticed me staring at it. I quickly looked away embarrassed by the way I had looked at him. Though I thought he would be annoyed a little I saw I tiny smirk on his face when he sat up. I bit my lip and flushed at my shameful act of obviousness.

Hall: Are u always this absorbed in your thoughts?

Nyla: Only when things are interesting to think about.

Hall: So are we going to talk about us or just stare at each other.

Nyla: okay... What do u want to know?
Hall: what's it with u and that guy?

Right when he said that I wanted to cry so bad because its like I didn't know Jay was going to even act that way. My eyes began to water and I finally opened my mouth to speak.

Nyla: I didn't want to yell at him for those things but I just... I.I... I'm so sorry.

Hall: Don't worry bout it. And don't apologize either. If he actually cared about you, he wouldn't have acted the way he did.

He reached his hand over to my face and wiped my tears with his thumb. He then wrapped his arms around my back to pull me into his chest. I cried carelessly on his gray tee. His gentle hold around me felt like I was going to finally get my life back. But that will never happen. My moms on the death bed and my dad hasn't even been with us since I was born.

I slowly felt dreary with his body around me.
