Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

Fantasy/Dream sequence. Written for a friend , I really didn't want to go much father than a sentence, but this is what I've got. Comments please!!!

--
I got up struggling ; he didn't want to let go. Once I was up, i was walking away from him. he yanked on my wrist, gentle not to hurt me. "Ali...there is something wrong."
I tugged away, i wanted to go away. "Meet me upstairs." I said and stalked off into the house.
I tip-toed quietly up the stairs and i heard him walking up behind me. Why was he walking so fast? I sat on the bed and crawled under the covers. he came in and embraced me quickly, but i squrimed out. "Tell me something..." he whispered, "Why do you seem so sad today?"
"I, uh, well..." I tried to explain but I couldnt. "It doesn't feel right. you being here. i feel like you're fake. and this really isn't happening to me, Rob. Not every day do you come to my house and just start hugging me and caring about me."
He hugged me, and this time i let him. I heard the smile in his voice, "Well," he explained, "You're just lucky." he moved out of the hug and tapped my nose. "Now, tell me the real reson you're so down. "I don't even know, Robert." I replied.
"first time you said my full name? i'm impressed." again i heard the smile in his voice. "Park? Or backyard?"
This time I wasn't fully paying attention to him speaking. I was staring at the floor, thinking of what life would be like with him around more often. A wonderful life I pictured. I sighed and looked up to meet his curious eyes. he asked again, "Park or backyard?" I pulled my face back, thinking what he could mean. "For?" and i shut my eyes. "I have something special for you, Ali. Don't question me."
: "Backyard, please. If you won't tell me, I'd rather it be private." and I stood up from my bed. I jumped on his bck, and he gave me a piggy ride to the back yard. I sat down on the concreete wih my arms around my knees. he landed next to me and he looked like he was sleeping. great. this was probably never going to happen again and he was sleeping. i taped his somatch and it growled. "hungry?" i asked him. he shook his head no. "stalling?" i asked him. this time he nodded yes

I laid down next to him, and put my head on his chest. He put his arm around my back, I curled up into ball on my side. I exhaled a deep gust of breath, how long had I not been breathing? His arm felt tight around me, protective.
"You never seize to amaze me." I said, a little upset
"That's just who I am. And you," He hugged me closer, "Have to tell me something. What about me, makes me attractive to you?"
I sighed ; I didn't want to explain my reasons.
"Just who you are, Rob. Not for your character, not for anything else. Who you are. And you're pretty handsome." I said, and I knew I had flushed. He giggled at the sound of "handsome".
"Me, handsome. Wow." I muttered not quietly enough for me not to hear.
"Why are you always like that?" I said as I sat up and rested my head in my palm. I moved my hair out of my face, thinking. "I saw you listening to yourself singing. You get so embarrassed. You're amazing, Rob. You have nothing to worry about."
"I guess so, but I just want to prove something to everyone. Like, make sure that they approve, that they like it. I don't care much for myself." He replied
"Well you should care more," I said and leaned onto my other side. I knew that in a matter of seconds my voice would crack. Tears filled my eyes and to cover the crying I laid my forehead on my arms. He patted my back, and laid his arm on my back.
"I'm fine, Ali. I'm just worrying about you."
He sat up, then started pacing. It eventually was going to drive me insane, so I just sat up.
"What are you doing?" I asked, annoyed.
"Thinking, what does it look like?" He was as annoyed as I was, and he let me have the pain and distress in his voice. I threw my hands up and annoyance and walked into the house. I got a glass of water and brought it outside. I sat down on the bench with my legs crossed, waiting for him to talk to me. This was going to take forever, I knew it.
"I made you cry." He finally said after ten minutes. I was lost in a reverie and I couldn't focus on what he was saying.
"Excuse me?" I tried to sound polite, but I guess I didn't.
"I said," He answered, too much inflection on said, "I made you cry." He was almost yelling now, and I probably wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't examining his face. His curious and questioning, yet angry and disappointed face.
"No, you didn't. Why-" I tried to finish my statement, but I was rudely interrupted by my brother.
"You," Adam said as he pointed at Robert, "and Ali need to come inside. Dinner is done."
I sat up, annoyed that he just interrupts me. Could he not see the man, that sent Greek gods to shame in my presence? I would just have to talk to him later. Rob walked too slowly over to me and put his arm around my shoulder, like old friends. I must have looked so stupid next to him. Short stubby me, next to a tall, handsome figure.
"What's for dinner?" I asked Adam.
"Pasta. Mom and Dad are out of town, and I'm supposed to look after you. Great." He said staring at Rob, "Enjoying your stay?"
"Yes," Rob whispered softly head down. He then looked up. "This one, is making it enjoyable."
I started up at him through my hair, and then back down at the table. This must have set Adam off, because I heard was dishes clanging and utensils hitting the aluminum sink.
After dinner we went to the park and I sat on the swings while he watched me, curiously. His phone rang and he picked it up. Still on the phone, he walked over to me.
"Adam is summoning you," He murmured into my ear.
"Great. That means you have to go?" I asked him, but I already knew my answer.
"Yes, but I should be back tomorrow. Don't worry, this'll work." He said. We walked home his arm around my shoulder, protectively. He hugged me at my door step and told me goodnight. I walked inside and slammed the door, hopefully Adam would hear. I checked the time on the clock, he had to reason to call me home. It was 9 o'clock. Wow, I'd been out a while.
"How was your day?" Adam asked a little too politely.
"Amazing. Just…went by too quick." I threw my sweater on the floor and walked up the stairs. He was behind me the whole time. If he had to say something, he should just spit it out already. I washed my face and brushed my teeth and put my hair up. I sat down on my bed waiting for Adam to talk and not stare at me. I picked up "J-14" magazine and started reading the article on the Jonas Brothers, pretending to stare intently on the page. He walked over and pulled it out of my hand and threw it to the floor.
"Alright, this is driving me crazy. Tell me everything that happened today. I mean everything. Not editing, Ali. Oh, and don't forget, when we're done, you're cleaning up your room. I'm looking after you, remember?" He seemed upset.
"We just basically talked the whole time. I got to know him better than an actor, as Robert Pattinson, Adam. I know you can barely stand him, but it doesn't matter. He's really not a bad person." I finished and stood up taking the clothes off the floor and putting them into the furry pink hamper. Then I took all the magazines and books that were strewn across the floor and put them into the bookshelf in the hallway. "Done!" I yelled down the hall into his room. He walked in and checked and gave me the thumbs up. I stalked after him, down the stairs.
"Why don't you like him, Adam?" I asked him staring at the television.
"I never said that, did I?" There was too much acid in his tone of voice.
"You act like it," I mumbled.
"Hmm?" He asked. Unfortunately, Adam would press on until I told him. I sat up by his ear and yelled.
"You act like it!" I yelled straight into his right ear. I got up and stomped to my room. Adam and his nonsense. I shut my light off and laid my head down. Time to sleep and let things fly away.

Two:

What woke me up was and set of hands on my forehead. I blinked furiously to see who was there. I was relieved it was only Rob, and not a burglar or something.
"Good morning," He said, smiling. "What is planned for today?"
"Um..can I have a second to compose myself?" I asked, starting to giggle.
"Of course." He replied
I got up from my bed, and he sat down where I was lying. I grabbed a hair tie and tied my hair up. I went to brush my teeth, and wash my face. I came back inside and he looked like he was sleeping. I didn't want to disturb him so I sat on the floor by his stomach and took out "J-14" again. He sat up, curious to all the rumbling pages.

Its very good so far.
However the first paragraph was kind of hard to read becuase its kind of jumbled together.

Yeah, I noticed that after I posted it.
It was in a word document and got all messed up.
Expect more by tomorrow, I think :]

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

. I stared at him for a long moment and then turned back to my magazine.
"How did you get past Adam?" I asked, extremely curious.
"I didn't have to sneak by. I am older than him. I have more authority." He replied.
"Yes…but, wasn't he mad that you were here again?" I asked, now befuddled.
"No," He said, "Is he supposed to be?" I heard the smile in his voice.
"I'm not sure." I said. I got up off the floor and sat next to him on my bed, yanking at the covers. "I have to make my bed."
"Oh," he said as he hopped off the bed and went to stand in the doorway. He leaned against one side and balanced one of his legs on the other side.
"Sorry," I mumbled, "The doorframe wasn't made for outrageously tall people. Made for people who are more 5'3."
"I'm not that tall, and I'm probably as tall as your-" He stopped abruptly and stared down at my hand. "What happened to you?"
"It's been there for a while. I got my blood drawn, and here," I pointed to my upper left arm, "I got a shot. It's just swollen and sometimes itchy."
"I see," He said still staring at my hand. He looked up to my face and again asked, "What's planned for today."
"I have homework for tomorrow, but it doesn't really matter. I can do it when you leave. So, in reality, I have nothing planned. Anything is fine." I replied.
He started playing with my hair, he must have been thinking. I turned to look at him and he dropped my hair at once.
"What?" I asked him.
"You look disgusted with something. I thought it was me," He looked toward his feet and swayed back onto his heels.
I groaned and said, "Why would it ever be you? Have you lost all sanity? And I didn't even know I looked remotely disgusted."
"Sorry," he mumbled. I rested my head against his arm and he moved it so it would be under his arm.
"What's the weather like?" I whispered.
"Rainy. Wet outside. Possibility of snow, maybe even hail. It's cold. It's really cold, actually. Not much to do today, that's why it's your choice."
"Thank you. Would you like to meet someone today? It's not family, it's a friend. She's obsessed with you." I let out a giggle. "I have her address somewhere. Her name is Olivia."

more comments?

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

I walked around looking for Olivia's address, but I couldn't find it. I picked up my cell phone from under my bed and dialed.
"Hello?" A voice on the other end asked.
"Hey, it's Ali. I need your address. Someone is coming to meet you." I replied.
"Sure. It's 425 Fairview Ave. Who is coming?"
"You'll see," I said. There was a long pause, "I gotta go, bye." I hung up before she could answer.
"Did you get it?" Rob asked me.
"Yup," I replied and waved a piece of paper in the air, "Right here."
"Would you like to go now or later? It's your choice." He asked.
"I shouldn't always have the right to choose. That's not cool." I smiled.
"Now, then?" He asked again.
"Fine." I grumbled.
When we walked this time, he held my hand. I felt like his daughter, not his friend. He was outrageously tall, I'm not sure what he was talking about. I looked up at him, but he was staring off into space. He stopped abruptly. He squatted down and held his head in his palms. I bent over at the waist and looked at him.
"What is the matter?" I asked softly and patted him on the back.
"Nothing." He said quietly, and bounced straight up. He took my bruised hand and kissed it, then held it tightly as we walked. I was confused, very, very confused.
We reached Olivia's house in record time. I knocked on the door twice, and rob sat on the steps with his head in his hands again, but this time playing with his hair. He heard the door open and walked up behind me, his arm over my shoulder.
"Hi, I'm Robert Pattinson." He said politely, with his breath-taking grin.
"Olivia, Rob. Rob, Olivia." I said.
"Hi," Olivia said, and smiled wide, "Err, you already know, but I'm Olivia. Want to come in, your guys?"
"Of course." Rob said, and smiled again.
We walked inside, and as first nature I took my shoes off.
"Should I do that too?" He whispered into my ear.
"It's muddy out. It'd be helpful." I said and smiled, he smiled back.
We sat down on her couch and she walked out from the kitchen with a platter of cupcakes and a sugar cookie in her mouth.
She chewed and said, "Take one. Take two if you like." She gestured to the cupcakes.
I took one off the platter and chewed silently. Rob stared at me the whole time. Once I noticed I looked up at him confused and he chuckled.
"Take one," I whispered.
"Uh, I'm fine," He said and looked up toward Olivia, "How are you?"
"Quite well, actually. Excuse me." She said and got us a glass of water.
"Just have a bite, they're good," I pressed on.
"No, really, I'm fine." He smiled.
"Sorry about that," she said coming back inside setting the water on the table, "Yourself?"
"Interesting week." He giggled and nudged at me.
"Yeah, she can be a pain to deal with sometimes." Olivia said and smiled.
My mouth fell open, and you could probably hear it snap closed from a mile away. They both laughed, but I just stared at the T.V. trying to tune them out.
"Bathroom?" I asked, very randomly.
"Down the hall, I'll show you," She said as she got up, "Excuse us."
"enjoying Rob being over?" I asked her, "I told you I would bring him." I smiled.
She laughed and replied, "Yes. Very much so. Thanks, again. Here we are." She gestured to a door. "I'll stay with you, it'll get awkward." She whispered and I giggled at her words.


Please comment! I need to get better. my writing is pretty bad, imo. -___-

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

When I finished, I walked out and shut the door behind me, too loudly. Her head snapped up from her reverie.
"Sorry," I muttered.
"Fine, it's fine." She grinned and giggled.
We walked back into the room where Rob was staring intently at the wall, like it was antagonizing him. I tapped him on his shoulder and he moved over so I could sit down.
"I think we should be going," He said, pretty loud.
"No," I cried, "Do we have to?" I hear Olivia laugh from the kitchen.
"Actually, my parents are going to be home soon, and I don't really want to explain why," She paused, "Or how for that matter Robert Pattinson got here. It's fine."
I hugged her before we left and he put his arm high on my mid-waist.
"I feel like a midget," I mumbled.
"What? Why?" He started laughing, very loudly.
"I'm so short!" I screeched.
He pulled at my side, "Not really. You're the perfect size. Actually, you shouldn't be as tall as me. I'm a guy." He laughed again.
I groaned and just walked awkwardly at his side.
"Why did we leave so…randomly?" I asked.
"Adam should be home now. Right? He'd worry if you're not at home, especially with me around this week." He sounded very disgusted.
"Sorry," I said, that must have been my word this week, "He's just the grumpy old troll. Who lives under the bridge." I looked up at him and he roared with laughed, but I only smiled faintly embarrassed.


not much new, but it's all i got. tests and studyingggggg

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

We walked into my house and I shrugged off my converses. It smelled like vanilla, maybe Adam's girlfriend was over.
"Adam?" I called up the stairs after looking through the first floor.
"Up here," He answered quietly, and I looked up.
"Trying to help Dad and fix the ceiling?" I asked, sarcastically.
"Shut up. Hi, Rob," He said as he looked down, "There's food in the kitchen. Go eat, guys."
"Sure," I answered and dragged Rob along behind me.
"What is he doing to the ceiling?" Rob asked, scared almost.
I giggled, and grinned hugely, "Trying to get a raise. He helps my dad a lot, and wants more money."
"Oh," Was all he answered.
"You should talk to him. Man on man bonding." I smiled.
"I'd rather not," He tried to explain.
"He doesn't have gun, calm down. It's not like he's gonna hurt you anyway. It's fine." I pushed his shoulder, "Go. Talk to him. Now." I commanded and smiled a bit.
Rob groaned and I walked him to Adam. "Adam!" I yelled, he had headphones on.
"What do you want?" He asked, annoyed.
"Robert wants to talk to you." I said, a little to jumpy.
"You do?" He asked, surprised.
"Uh, yes." He smiled.
Adam climbed down from him ladder and I sat on the bottom steps.
"Don't bother trying to get into his mind," I whispered to Adam, "Doesn't work. Trust me." He turned around shocked and I smiled, turned him around and pushed him toward the living room where Rob was sitting. Before they got to talking I put my converses back on, and walked over to them.
"I'm going outside. You guys have fun." I started laughing.

^ c&c please

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

Just a lil more I wrote
"I'm going outside. You guys have fun." I started laughing.
I walked outside without a jacket, I'd rather be cold than bother to be warm right now. I laid down on the concrete part of my backyard, and the coldness of it made my skin constrict. I shivered, and I heard Rob and Adam mumbling from inside. They tried to keep their voices down, but it wasn't working. They were probably arguing about meaningless stuff, like Adam did with everything.
I rolled over on my stomach and put my head in my arms, covering my ears. Through the faintness of the sound, I heard them laughing. I turned back onto my back and looked up at the clouds. They were rolling too fast, too eerie. I shut my eyes and before I knew it they opened again. It was much darker than before, almost 9:30 P.M. I rolled up, and I was shaking. I stood up and stumbled to the door. It was locked, and all the lights were off. I banged on the door as loud as my body would allow. How could he not hear me? It was only 9. Or was it? I kept banging, and then Robert showed up at the door and opened it. He opened his arms to me and hugged me. I was warm again, and glad that he had stayed up for me, unlike Adam who fell asleep on his sister. What a wonderful brother.
"Where is Adam?" I chattered, through my teeth, still shivering only a little.
"Sleeping. I knew he didn't want to wake you up, but you were outside. I stayed up. You should go to bed and warm up." He suggested.
"Rob, I've been sleeping for hours outside. I'm not tired. Why don't you go to sleep?" I asked.
"I am tired, but that's no excuse. How could I sleep when your brother leaves out outside on the ground?" He countered.
"Sleep now, then, I'm fine." I said and smiled softly.
"Do you even know what time it is? I can't go walking around this late." He said.
"I thought it was 9?" I asked, surprised that I was wrong.
"It's midnight, Ali. You need to sleep. Tomorrow is Monday, remember?" He giggled.
"Are you kidding?" I ran over to my backpack and started furiously at the science book.
"Need help?" He offered.
"I got it, I think. We're studying measurements I think. I'll do fine. I've been studying all week before this weekend. I'm good." I said and threw him the thumbs up, we both laughed.
"Go to sleep," He murmured, and started humming. I sat down on the sofa and I drifted off into sleep.

My alarm didn't wake me up today, I was far from my room. Adam shook me furiously, and I slapped him by accident.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked, a little annoyed with me.
I was dazed and was seeing spots. The light burned my eyes, and I felt ice on my forehead.
"Robert left?" I asked, that's all I could think of right now.
He took my lunch off the table handed it to me and gave me clothes.
"Get ready," He demanded, "Now." His eyes were furious, and his head was creasing, also talking through his teeth.
I got up from the sofa, and my back hurt. I grabbed the clothes he had for me, and brought them upstairs. I changed into more comfortable clothes, still looking good. My hair was impossible so I pulled it into a ponytail. I walked downstairs, grabbed my phone and lunch off the table, and grabbed my backpack.
"Ready?" I asked Adam, and he stomped out to the Hyundai and it roared to life.
We didn't talk the whole ride to my school, and when I arrived, I didn't even say goodbye. The car was still moving when I opened the door and jumped out. I probably scraped the door on the ground, but I didn't care. I walked up to my friends waving my arms smiling,
"You're happy," Rachel whispered.
"I had a fun weekend." Was all I elaborated.
The whole day, I talked about meaningless things to my friends, and texted others in between classes. I must have had at least 5 Life Waters, I was really hyper. When the day was over, I was sad. I liked being around my friends, they're all so level-headed.
I walked home with Gaby, she lives on the way to my house. I opened to door to my house, Adam was there watching T.V. with Mariya.
"Hey, Mariya!" I called, really excited to see her.
"Hey, Ali. How's it going?" She asked.
"Good, really good," I said and smiled wide, "Yourself?"
"I'm good, things have been alright."
"Good to hear. Afternoon," I said and turned to Adam and nodded. I walked upstairs and changed into even more comfortable clothes and walked back downstairs to do homework. When I finished, I put on a hoodie, and walked outside with my UGGs on. Again, I laid down on the concrete, but this time I was warm enough to not bother thinking about the 15 degree weather.
It was so nice to be able to get away from all the craziness. I tried not to get too lost in my thoughts, I would fall asleep again, and today Robert wasn't there to help me. I started to sing, very loudly, and I was glad enough that it was keeping my mind occupied. If I didn't try hard enough, I'd think about Rob. That wasn't good.
After a few hours I walked inside to eat something. Mariya was still over, cuddling with Adam on the sofa, in the same spot.

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

I walked into the cold kitchen, the windows were open. Adam had gone insane, and I guess I'd been too busy to realize it. Mariya walked into the kitchen behind me and grabbed a soda for herself. She didn't talk to me, but that was understandable. I looked in the kitchen for something to heat up, but there was nothing there. I sighed and went to take off my hoodie and UGGs.
"Ali," Mariya called for me from the living room.
"Yeah?" I asked walking toward her.
"You okay?" She asked, politely. "You look kinda banged up. Everything alright?"
"You're so much nicer than Adam. He's been with me all weekend and hasn't even asked. But yes, I'm fine. Confused," I said and laughed, "But fine. Thanks."
"I know, I know. Adam isn't a great, or responsible parent. I thought I'd look after you." She said.
"Thanks," I said again.
I walked away from her and went upstairs. I sat on my bed and closed my window. It was cold, and I think I was sick. I crawled up into a ball under my quilt, and put a pillow over my head. I didn't want to be witness to the fray happening downstairs. I wish they wouldn't fight.
I eventually realized that I couldn't sleep anymore. I had to stop trying to fight the urge to sleep, and just let my body run its own course. I stared up at my ceiling and pondered my life. Nothing had actually changed. Nothing had been the same though either. I'd spent my weekend with Robert Pattinson, and that surely must have changed something, right? As I thought harder and harder, I started to drift off. Once I realized it, I woke up again. I started pacing around my room, and eventually went to my computer. There was nothing really to do on it, but I had nothing to do right now. If I fell asleep with it on, that would be fine. It might die, but that doesn't matter. Finally, I closed the screen after meaningless searching, and went downstairs to the sofa. I laid my head down and fell asleep there. This was my place, the only place I was comfortable.

Adam woke me up again this morning, just much more softer. He hummed a song in my ear and my brain started to work again. I stretched my arms and legs, then cracked my back. I stumbled up to my room, and got changed. I had fallen asleep in my jeans, they left a mark on my stomach. I changed into another pair, a clean one. These had dirt on them, I don't even remember how.
"I think I'm going to walk today," I explained to Adam, "It's not that far."
"Be careful," He said as I walked away.
I had my backpack slung over my one shoulder, the other one was in pain. A sharp pain, almost stabbing. Like I'd be stabbed up a knife, five or six times throughout the night. I ignored it as much as I could before school started. I tried to practice my poker face, so people wouldn't know I'd been not sleeping correctly. I was still walking in silence before I heard mumbles, then they turned into slurs of words. I turned to walk in the other direction, but I was already lost. I got out my phone and called Adam for directions. Once I hung up the phone with him, all I heard was bottles breaking and screams. I started walking faster and faster, but the noises got louder and louder. Closer, almost.
I made it to school safely, and I felt fine, my poker face was prepared. No one saw through my lies, I was probably getting good at it now. Instead of sitting alone, the way I would have preferred, I sat with my whole class, we were all talking about going to the movies, but it was cool.
Again I walked home with Gaby L, and it was pretty cool. She bragged a lot about her wonderful relationship with her boyfriend, and how happy they were. When I arrived home, Robert was there, and that caught me off guard.


Comments/Criticism?
much appreciated. <3

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

Bump =|

"You should let Adam drive you to school more often. That could have ended badly." Robert said, angry with me.
"Let me guess, you just happen to be in the neighborhood the one day I get in trouble. Great." I said, annoyed. It was true, though. The one day something bad could have happened, he's "around."
I sighed and took my shoes off. I walked into the kitchen and got something to eat out of the fridge, he followed behind me. I sat down at the kitchen table and took a bite out of my apple.
I looked up with a mouthful of apple and said, "What?"
"You're more irresponsible than I gave you credit for," He replied.
"Me? Irresponsible? Do you not even see how Adam acts?" I said, and my voice was rising.
"Why did you want to walk to school today?" He interrogated.
"I'd rather not sit in a car with Adam for half-an-hour. And, all he does is brag about how wonderful his life is. He makes me practice my poker face," I mumbled, "And It's not easy."
"Hmm," He replied, "I see."
"That's it? You're not gonna kill me or tell Adam…" I let my voice trail off.
"Nope. Should I?" He asked, rudely enough.
"Of course not." I said acidly.
"You're making this a lot harder than it has to be." He said patting my hair down, and sighed.
"What, Rob?" I asked.
"I have to go," He said and got up and walked away.
"Wait, no," I called after him, and he stopped and turned around.
"Yes?"He said sweetly.
"Will you be back?" I asked.
"Will you stay out of trouble and let Adam drive you?" He countered.
"Yes," I replied, hoping that would keep him from leaving.
"Then I have no reason to be here." He said, and the words sounded stiff.
"What if I told you I wouldn't stay out of trouble, you'd have to protect me, and that Adam was leaving and never coming back?" I said.
"I'd stay." He replied.
"I'm not very good at staying out of trouble," I said and smiled. I sat down on the couch and put my arms around my knees. His footsteps came closer to me and sat down on the far end of the couch. He scooted over and put his arm around my shoulder.
"You'll do fine," He said, and I heard the smile in his voice.


^ it's not much, but c&C pleasee

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

Hey, guys, thanks for the previous comments. I've written more, just it's gonna take time to split it up, because I wrote like four pages .___. I don't know where the plot came from, but it's pretty good, and I'm having my friends revise it. Hopefully, I should have it separated and posted soon ^^

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

"Go, you said you have to." I said.
"Yeah," Was the only thing he replied and walked away.
I turned on the T.V. not caring what channel it was left on. I tied my hair back with a ribbon and slumped over the table in front of the couch.
All I could care about was what time Adam would be home. Even then, I couldn't leave the house unguarded by sleeping, but it would make a difference. I checked to make sure all the doors were locked, then walked upstairs to change. Once I had my sleeping pants on, I sat on my bed. i ripped the ribbon out of my hair, frustrated. I took a hamper from the corner of the room and started cleaning. I couldn't stand the mess on my floor. When I was done cleaning, Adam still wasn't home so I walked down stairs. The phone rang, and that shocked me. I got up quickly and rushed over to it. My family never invested in caller ID so I had to guess on the number.
"Hello?" I asked into the mouthpiece.
"Ali, it's Adam. I need you to come pick me up. Take the bus, call someone. I need you right now, Ali." He demanded.
"What is going on?" I asked, urgently.
"Just," He said and I heard his voice crack, "I'm at Mariya's. Come, please."
"Yea, yea. How do you want me to get there again?" I asked and took a paper and pen.
"Bus. Call someone. Anyone, Ali. Anything is fine, just come quickly."
"Yea. I'll be there as soon as possible."
I hung up the phone and took the paper and went up to my room. I grabbed my purse and tied my sneakers on. I flew down the stairs and grabbed my phone off the table. I dialed a number Rob had given me when he first came to my house. As I put on my coat I counted off the rings until someone picked up.
"Hello?" A peppy receptionist said, "How may I help you?"
"Hi, yes, I need to talk to Robert Pattinson? Is he there?"I asked.
"Who is calling?" She asked, "Yes, here he is."
"Ali Perez, ma'am." I replied.
I heard him mutter something to him and he sounded urgent in his whisper.
"Hello?" He said.
"Rob," I breathed, "Adam needs me. Can you help me get to him?" I asked.
"Yes, of course. Do you know how to get to where he is? I'm not good with directions." He chuckled.
I smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Just, come pick me up at my house, I'm already ready. He sounded urgent."
"Yeah, I'll be there." He said and I heard the phone hang up. I slid my phone closed and sat on the couch waiting for a beep of a horn in the front of my couch. Before I could count off 300 seconds, he was there. I grabbed my things and rushed into his car.

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

"Thank you," I whispered.
"Anything, anytime." He said and smiled, "Now, where to?"
"Down this block, turn left," I said, "I told you I was responsible."
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I called someone safe to take me to Adam. Instead of taking the bus. He's the irresponsible one."I must have sounded like a bratty five year old, because he made a face.
"I'm not necessarily safe," He said as he smiled and made a sharp left turn. "Now where are we going again?"
"Englewood Cliffs," I answered with a sigh. Why couldn't he just agree with me? Why were people so stubborn sometimes?
Before I knew it, we were in Englewood Cliffs turning onto Mariya's block.
"First house, on the right." I said.
He stopped the car abruptly and turned it off. He ripped the key out of the ignition and ran up toward the house. He pounded on the door, and I just gently opened it. It was left open, and that was unusual for Mariya.
"Neo!" I called into the house.
"Who is…" Rob began to ask.
"Her dog. He's really smart. He'll help us find them."
"Neo!" I called again, while Rob searched the house.
"Ali!" He called for me, and I ran to where he was, "Look," He whispered once I got to him.
I gazed out the window in horror. Neo, tied up in the backyard. Mariya and Adam nowhere in sight. Adam's jacket and sneakers were across the backyard, all in different parts. I started to tug away from Rob, walking faster and faster. I had to help them. All of them.
He caught me before I could get to far.
"You can go down there," He said, "Are you crazy? You'll get killed."
"They're still alive, and I need to help them, Rob," I said in an urgent whisper. "If I don't get them, I'm not going to be able to live with myself."
"I will get them. And if you have to, you will help, but I'm not letting you endanger your life, when I am completely capable of helping them." He said, acidly.
"But Rob, I want to help. I need to help. I may just slow you down, but I can make a diversion or whatever they call them." I said, pleading.
"Let's go," He said and he sounded annoyed.
We walked outside, coolly. We pretended-or he pretended- that nothing was wrong. I walked over to Adam and Mariya and hugged them both.
"who did this to you?" I whispered as I took a knife out.
"People who work with my dad," Mariya managed to choke out. I freed them, and they got into the house, the one safe place right now. I looked over at Rob, and he was trying to get Neo to stop barking. I ran quietly over to him and sat down on my knees.
"What the hell is this dog's problem?" Rob said furiously.
"Look," I said, and started singing "In Pieces" By Linkin Park. Neo calmed down at once.
"Wow," Rob said amazed.
"what?" I asked, grabbing Neo's rope and tying it around my hand.
"Between the beauty of your voice, and how that calmed down the mut, that's all I could think to say."
I giggled and walked into the house, but someone walked out in front of me and pushed me to the ground. Rob jumped in front of me.


^ This is so deffinatly fake xD
NOTE: taking place in the future. i don't know if I stated it already, but it's true. Adam and Mariya are twenty, Rob is still 22, and I'm 16.

re: Dream Chaser [Story] (Notice in last post =])

Sorry for bumping if i have nothing to post, when i really do. but then it'd be just one really long post, that could equal a few pages if i separated it. Also, I have been writing it down on paper, it seems to flow better, and i have 15 pages added on. So I think I'm gonna stop posting on here, but still writing. Thank you guys for all the c&C you gave.

;]

2,000 post...what? haha =))
