•Chapter 14 - Carry Me To Lessons?• •Kai• Ammi's small, sleeping body seemed too unprotected for me to leave. I sat and fiddled with one of the stuffed animals at the end of her bed as her chest rose and fell, her body splayed out sideways across the double bed. I occasionally thought about moving her into the right position and tucking her under the covers, but I didn't want to intrude on her by touching her when she didn't know it. Maybe I was being a bit drastic, but at least I was completely safe from rejection. I still couldn't totally wrap my head around what had happened, and why it did. Just an hour before, if that, we'd been screaming at each other, just like old times. I say that like it's a good memory. I love her, of course I do, but sometimes I think I do miss it. The power, the control, the being able to do whatever I wanted, when I wanted. Things were going unbearably slow with Ammi and I. She may think this is moving fast, but to me, this is like a slow walking speed. I'm more of a brisk, powerful walker - but Ammi doesn't see that. She's engrossed in the idea that I've changed, yet she doesn't realise that there are some parts of me (some that I am sure she despises deep in the caverns of her soul) that just won't. They simply refuse to cooperate. I sighed and stared at Ammi as she turned over to face me in her sleep. She was just beside me now, and she stirred softly from her own awakening movement. She looked up at me with tired, half-open eyes and pulled herself along the bed so that her head was resting on my lap, her arms snuggling my waist. She closed her eyes and slipped back into unconsciousness with ease. I sighed, and brushed her violet hair out of her face. It's going to be a long night for me and my never-ending problems - physical, and most definitely mental.
I opened my eyes slowly, carefully. Ugh. School. Even if Ammi didn't, I would clearly have to go today - although there wouldn't be much point in a weapon going to school without it's Meister. Still, I bet there's a bunch of missed test papers lined up for me in my locker, just waiting to have a load of valuable time wasted on them. Evil things. I sat up and found myself at the edge of the bed. I rubbed the tired from my eyes and let a hand run through my hair, messy and unruly in the glowing light of the early morning. It has to be around 6AM to be this light. That means I'm up an hour early. Great. I glanced behind me and saw Ammi, passed out, looking fairly close to where I had been a moment ago. I can almost guarantee I wouldn't let go of her in my sleep. I tend to glue myself to the people I sleep with, who knows why. I stood up, realising I'd slept in all my clothes, and my shoes - normally it's either butt naked, or boxers when it's cold, so you can imagine my discomfort and frustration when I noticed this. I made a noise of disapproval of myself, and walked over to the full length mirror that hung on the back of Ammi's bedroom door. I looked hungover in the worst possible way. My blue eyes that usually were a deep, sensual texture were dim and lifeless, bags forming beneath them. My teeth were unbrushed. My feet were hurting, and I had a dead arm. The only good thing was my hair. It always seemed to look good. No matter what happened to it, perfect sleep or not, it came out looking messily amazing. I went to leave the room and get dressed, but stopped myself. I went over to the bed and gently tapped Ammi's shoulder, before giving her a little shake to half-wake her up. "Mm?" was her noise of greeting as her eyes barely opened to see me. "I'm goin' to school today, I thought I should just let you know" I whispered so as not to disturb her too much. She seemed wide awake at the sound of my words. She sat up urgently, her long hair a cute mess and eyes sleepy. "I'll go with you" she blurted. "Ammi, you can't walk" I chuckled softly, a little flattered by her eagerness to attend the hell hole with me. "Carry me to lessons?" she giggled softly, before rubbing her right eye with the back of her hand. I chuckled again, but didnt have the heart to diss her idea, so instead I just tipped her chin up gently and made her smile some more. "I'll come back at break and lunch to check on you and get you food. Oh, what d'you want for breakfast?" I asked, rubbing my palms together at the thought of food. I hadn't realised how hungry I was. "Umm, pancakes?" She suggested with a wide grin. "Sure thing" I smiled, before leaning in to peck her cheek. She seemed a little hurt that I didn't kiss her lips, but brushed it off quickly, returning to her previous cheery self. Pancakes take me ages to make, but I didn't care, if Ammi wanted them, then she could have them. I'm not fussed on being late anyway.
Aww! Kai seems so sweet! <3 It wouldn't surprise me if it didn't last too long... ;) love, Drew xxx
