New Haven: Awakening

CHAPTER SIX. The New Me.

The next morning I stood in front of my full length mirror. And after cowering in Lucas’ room for the pass two night, I’m done being afraid of him. He’s dead. He can’t hurt me ever again. It’s time I get use to sleeping without Lucas and sleep straight through the night. At least I’ll try to.

Opening up to Becca made me feel so empowered. I want to feel like myself again. And starting today I’m going to do just that. 

I stared myself in the mirror. I feel really cute in the outfit Becca picked out for me. The outfit is a black camisole with a red cardigan, a red and black plaided skirt, black leggings and my red, ankle high heeled boots. I did my hair in a sleek low bun with my baby hairs laid in swoops. I didn’t put on too much makeup just mascara and lipgloss. 

I started at my features and instantly saw my mother. I had her oval shaped face, hazel eyes, dark brown skin and small upturned nose.” Dev, hurry up! My stomach is eating itself.” Lucas whined form downstairs.

“I’m coming!” I yelled. I grabbed my red backpack and rushed downstairs. When I got into the kitchen I saw Lucas and Becca sitting at the island. Lucas looks at me in shook. Becca from what I can tell was wearing a dark purple, long sleeved dress, black leggings and black knee high boots. Her hair was in a ponytail. Lucas was wearing a grey Misfits t-shirt, denim jacket and jeans with black Air Max.

“Who are you and what gave you done my sister?” Lucas saide, narrowing his eyes at me. I stuck my tongue out at him. 

“I ate her.” I teased. 

“I think I did a good job with her outfit, don’t you?” Becca asked with a satisfactory grin. I sat between Becca and Lucas.

“No! Now boys are going to stare at her.”

“So what?” Becca asked. Lucas looked at her with wild eyes. Becca surrender by waving her napkins in the air.

Lucas turned his attention to his cereal mumbling to himself.” So what she says. You don’t can’t even begin to imagine what I’d to a guy if he hurt my Devy.” He mumbled under his breath. I wrapped my arm around him.

I looked at Becca, grinning.” Never mention boys round him. Boys around me makes him tense.”

Becca was going to ask why then she seemed to remember what I told her yesterday. But I didn’t tell her about Lucas killing a guy for me that’ll probably freak her out and probably demolish her crush on him. Then again...nope I refuse to influence or interfere at this or any time. Lucas is kinda lonely and Becca is amazingballs. So both of them being together isn’t really a bad thing. When I’m not around, that is.

Lucas slide his bowl to me and pour me some cereal and milk. I ate while they argue about football teams. I rolled my eyes. Great another football fan, this isn’t going to get annoying at all. I took the time to look around the kitchen. It was fairly big with pale yellow wall, Laminate flooring, granite countertops, white cupboards, a silver stove and fridge. Nice kitchen.

”Whatever, I still think their the best.” Becca says, smirking at him. I glanced at Lucas, who was so mesmerized by Becca but hid it with his cockiness. I mean, Becca this so his type. She’s short, pretty, smart, a sports junky and most of all not stuck up. 

“That team sucks.” I said, completely oblivious to what team she’s calling about. I give her a devilishly smile as I got up and wash the bowl.” Footballs sucks. Soccer rules!” I said, I went was finished. I walked out of the kitchen before they could curse me out. Mwuah haha.
