Healing is a slow and painful process

Apr 28, 2005 15:15

My dreams were filled with nightmares, I didn’t have one moment peace since I shut my eyes. I spent half the night crying into my pillow and trying to keep silent. I didn’t want to disturb Lindsey in any way, just me being here did that enough as it was ( Read more... )

I looked at her, she was smiling. I liked to see that beautiful smile on her face.

"I love it here, sometimes Mike lets me come in and play, he's got the best ear, if my chords are off he makes this huge show of inspecting my strings and if he finds something wrong with them he'll replace them for free."

I looked back at the strings and pointed, "That is my favorite, it's thick and when you just strum it so lightly the sounds resonates so much it's practically tangiable."

I picked up a string with my other hand and held it.

"I need to get some pic's too."

I couldn't help but grin as he went on about his guitar. He loved it and it showed, I couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. Here he was, showing me his passion and everything and I can't even show him mine. I don't know if I can or not or if I'm just afraid to, I dont' want him to run away ( ... )

I gave her a nod, "Less time I spend in here the less money I spend, it's probably a good thing to leave quickly though Mike may not agree ( ... )

He lead me to another store and I willingly followed, feeling and smelling something so familuar that it almost felt like home. I nervously licked my lips and eyed him carefully as he lead me into a store with 'Muse' written on the door.

I blinked and looked up at him when he said his friend was a witch and if I wasn't holding onto his hand I don't know if I would have gone skipping through the store or passed out from relief. "A w-witch?" I licked my lips and eyed him slowly. "That's...That's ok with you?" I couldn't help but sound a bit hopeful when I spoke. I held my hand out and started to idily run my fingers over the velvet clothed table before running over a small statue in the center.

Licking my lips I held his hand still and pulled him over to some of the charms and ran my fingers over them, looking behind me to look at him. "None of this bothers you?" I asked again biting my lip. Could I be this lucky? Please let me be this lucky.

I shrugged and eyed her. Why did it matter if ... Oh.

"No, I mean at first I didn't really understand any of it because I'd been taught one way of thinking and one way only. But I'd never really thought about it before I met him, I'm not so sure I completely believe in everything but it all makes a lot of sense. So no, it doesn't bother me."

I gave her a smile as her eyes lit up.

"I'm guessing you were worried that if you told me you were a witch I'd freak out?"

I smiled and kissed her forehead, "I'm not, now I know for sure you and David will get along. In fact he'll probably try to steal you away from me."

My eyes lit up and it felt like it was christmas or something even better when I listened to him babble on and tell me that it was ok, that he was ok with it ( ... )

"Buy out the store if you want, David's not here so he can't help you find things, and Ms. Langley's a little strange, but I'm betting you can find whatever you need or want."

I gave her another smile. Maybe she was worried I wouldn't want this stuff in my apartment.

"Seriously Tara, my place is yours anything you want to do there, or get for it I'm completely fine with. Unless it's a guy shaped accessory that isn't me."

I winked at her and tugged on her hair lightly.

And I thought I'd been giddy in the music shop. Apparently she wasn't used to being accepted so easily. I wondered where she learned it all from, and if she'd had to keep it all a secret from her family. They didn't seem like the type to approve of witch-craft. Usually it didn't seem like it was anything more than wishful thinking, but I'd learned through David that people needed something to believe in.

Plus, It never seemed wrong or bad, so I was alright with it.

I nodded, a bit disappointed his friend wasn't here for me to meet, but there'd be other times. "Ok, I just wanted...I just wanted to know it was ok." I smiled and slowly slipped my hand from his, buzzing around the store quietly and picking up a few needed things. Mostly for a warding off spell in case my father and brother got posessive. I couldn't bare the thought of anything happening to Linsey because of me ( ... )

I came up next to her as she said the words to Mrs. Langely. The old woman gave me a warm smile, "Has David met her yet?"

I shook my head and she just nodded, like she understood something or knew something we didn't. I wasn't lying when I said she was strange, but it wasn't a creepy kind of strange, she just seemed to know things, or thought she knew things anyway.

"He's been waiting for you for a while now child," she said to Tara, handing her back some change.

Tara just blushed and I rested my hand on the small of her back. I gave Mrs. Langely a wink and led Tara away from the counter and out the door.

"Told you she was strange."

I took my change and blushed deeply, knowing maybe even slightly what Mrs. Langely was saying. "Oh..." I bit my lip and took my bags as we headed out the door.

Warmth ran up my spine from where his hand was and I shook my head at him. "Not strange, she's a seer of sorts." I told him, tucking my hair behind my ear. "That glazed look she gets in her eyes when she looks at someone is when she's really looking at them, their aura's." I murmured, gently slipping my hand into his and lacing my fingers again.

I looked at him and smiled as we walked down the street, my eyes set on a little vintage shop on the corner. "I wonder if she was right..." It really did make me wonder, had he been looking for me? Waiting for me? Was I his match? The idea of it stired up emotions in me I couldn't exactly place but none of them was unwelcome.

"Can we go in here?" I asked, looking at him when we got to the shop, my eyes glancing at the windows at what they had inside.

A seer huh? That could explain quite a lot, but there was so much I could think back to, little comments here and there. I'd have to think on that later, Tara's smaller hand in mine brought me back to the moment.

Moments I wasn't going to ignore.

"She was right," I squeezed her hand.

We kept walking and Tara noticed the small shop where I was inevitably taking her, it made me smile, she knew exactly where I was taking her without realizing it.

"Anywhere you want," I smiled and she led me into the store.

I grinned back at him and walked into the store, my hand in his as I started looking around at the racks. I was never into fashion or caring much of what I wore but a part of me wanted to care now.

Biting my lip I slowly slipped my hand from his and started to look at a few things on one of the racks. I felt comfortable here and with Lindsey that I could feel myself relaxing.

"S-see anything you like?" I looked up and smiled at him as I pulled a cream colored poet shirt from one of the racks, placing it over the long sleeved V-neck shirt already in my hands.

I smiled at her, "Of course I do." She blushed, but it was because I hadn't glanced at the clothes once, my eyes were fixed on her. I might be trying to be a gentleman, I might know that she doesn't need some guy trying to worm his way into her heart, but it doesn't mean I'm going to hide my interest.

I am not a saint. Far from it in fact. I'm lucky I have no contact with any of my siblings, I might just have some competition.

Tara was giving me a look and I just smiled and focused on the shirt she was holding up. "Well it's nice, but I'm not the one who has to like it, you are."

He was always complimenting me. That was so new in terms of...well everything. Nobody ever said things to me like he did, ever. A small part of me loved them but the rest of me was saying I was being too proud about them and I shouldn't be so willing to accept false compliments when men - all men - want really nothing more then for a woman ( ... )

She turned around and quietly asked if I wanted to go and while I couldn’t lie and say this was my idea of a fantastic day, I didn’t mind watching her find things and see things and realize that she wasn’t going to get criticized for being human ( ... )

When he touched my cheek my heart started to pound even harder in my chest, there was a look in his eyes that scared me but it wasn't enough to make me turn away from him ( ... )
