You Dont Exist - Denise Twice Rendon (pocket ebook reader .txt) 📗

cross my legs and rest my arms on my lap. Waiting for this animal to answer, wow I’m actually a patient person…I smile at myself.
“It’s Romeo.” a more regular, ‘human’ tone answers me. FINALLY. Wait…Romeo? “Nice name there.” I giggle. He huffs out a short breath. “So what now? On each dream I only get one sentence out of you?” I ask, noticing the pattern that has been happening. I cover my ears, a howl’s coming, I know. “No, if I have time I could just talk to you forever, believe me…I like your voice…and your mind.” WHAT!? “You can read my M.I.N.D.?” I stare at him dumbfounded. I swear I heard this animal laugh.
My body shakes, and from the distance I can hear my name being called out. I glance at Romeo. The animal whines in a crying tone. Which just makes me feel heartbroken. A tear comes out of me as Romeo’s crying howl roars loud as ever.

“Marley?”
“Ay, wake up Marley!”
I open my eyes abruptly, “I’m awake.” I assure them. Everyone was awake but only Giovanni and Kimberly were trying to wake me up. The guys were playing Kimberly’s Xbox 360 and the girls were scolding and teasing them for getting killed all the time on Gears of War 3.
“Marley, girly its one in the afternoon…you’ve been asleep for fifteen hours.” Kimberly feels my forehead. I giggle, “I’m not sick Kim, I just…I don’t know.” I remembered Giovanni, he’s standing right in front of me, and I can’t tell Kimberly what I want to tell her in front of Giovanni. “I was just so tired from yesterday’s rehearsal…” Lie.
Kimberly inspects my eyes, “It’s not possible…” she murmurs. I raise my eyebrow, “What?” Your crazy, I thought to myself. “Sophia, come here.” Kim waves Sophia towards us. Sophia places her hand on Giovanni’s face. Gio laughs, “Giovanni go away, its just us girls.” she pushes his face away. He smiles and goes with the other guys.
Sophia looks at Kim to me, “What’s up?” Kim answers because I have no idea. “Sophia you’ve been crushing over guys a lot, -Sophia’s eyes widened- is it true that when you look into someone’s eyes you can see that, that person likes someone?” Kim asks. Sophia places her hands on her hips, “First off all, my business about having crushes on a bunch of guys is no ones business KIM. And second of all, yea I guess. I mean, if the person is only crushing a little bit you can’t see it, but if the persons nervous while you stare at them…yeah I guess its either cause of a crush or a secret…” she murmurs the last part. Oh, shit…
Sophia grabs my cheeks and lifts my head towards her face. She stares into my eyes. I had nothing to do except laugh. “Why are you laughing!?” she asks. “You girls are funny.” I stumble between my laughs.
Sophie lets me go, I fall back onto the couch, “I can’t tell with Marley…she’s a good emotion hider.” Kim nods with agreement, “True, true she has to hide her emotions from her family…” Kim murmurs quietly to keep it a secret as we made that promise. My body feels weightless, I don’t like where this is going…
“What do you mean she has to hide her emotions from her family?”
I stand up, “Oh look at the time, I have to go.” I grab my hoodie and phone. Giovanni looks up at me. He stands up, “Why?”
Ugh I hate that question. “My mom texted me yesterday saying I have to be home by one thirty.” another lie.
“I’ll walk you home…” he volunteers.
At one time I do want him to, I want to spend time with him alone, but at the same exact time I don’t want him too. If I would and could I would rather walk with Romeo. My smile that I didn’t feel I had on suddenly turns into a frown. Really? I want to walk with a animal? I look at Giovanni, thinking about what I just said.
“Yea.” I smile. I can’t believe I actually said I’d walk with a animal…


So I left Kim’s house with Giovanni. We walk down the hill and turn right. There, we walk all the way down to Second Ave.
“So, your mom has you under her eye?” he asks. What a way to start a conversation… “Yea,…I guess?” I ask myself. “I know, I know I’m pathetic.”
I quickly turn to face him, “No-”, “Don’t worry about it, you also think so your just too kind to say it.” he smiles. You have no idea Giovanni. “Nope, I don’t really think I’m that nice. I don’t know it depends really.”
He smirks and chuckles, “At what?” I roll my eyes, “I don’t know, I guess how I’m feeling at the time?” I shrug. Giovanni places his hands in his jean pockets, “Sorry.”
Romeo? No his voice is more deeper but a whisper…I shake my head, “For what?” I fix my mind to erase Romeo and the dreams.
“Hmm, for being the way I am around you, instead of myself.”
I laugh, “Yeah and what’s your real side? Are you really actually a member of the dark-side of the Sith?” I laugh at my joke. He chuckles, “Naw, but truthfully I haven’t acted myself around you and it’s cause of everything and everyone.”
“Soooooo…” whaaaaaat?
“Nothing, forget it.” he stubbornly says.
I pout, “Fine jeez.” did I do something wrong? I sigh.
We reach my house and walk up my four step porch. He grabs my hand, “I-”
“Marley!” I turn around behind me to find my brother with a guy. The guy has jet black hair, caramel skin and jade green eyes. My brother walks towards me and Giovanni. “Marley, this is my homie Shadow.” Shadow? “What kind of name is Shadow?” I stare at Shadow. He places his hands in his sweater pockets, “What kind of name is Marley?” he asks back with sarcasm. I growl, “I don’t like you little boy.” He smirks, “I’m pretty sure I’m older then you.”
I raise my eyebrow ,”Ah-ha yeah whatever, your probably thirteen like my brother.” I roll my eyes and look back at Giovanni. “You what?” I remind him of what he was going to say to me. He stutters, “I-I’ll tell you later.” I shrug, “Okay.” me and Giovanni hug, then step away from each other.
“I’ll see you tomorrow at school Marley.” Giovanni waves and leaves.
I ignore the fact that my brothers friends are assholes and I open the door to my house. I turn left and walk up the stairs. On the first door to the left, I walk into my gray lavender color walled room.
I rest my hoodie sweater on my computer desk and lay my phone on my bed side drawer top. I kick my shoes off and land onto my bed.
I lay my arms out by my side and stretch my legs out. I sigh and stare at my baby blue ceiling. “GIOVANNI YOUR SUCH A PUSSY!!!!” I yell and whine. Giovanni, your supposed to be strong, built, confident, smart, loud, bad, weed smoking, kind of guy. You tag! I mean come on now, you have a gun Giovanni but you cant come up to me to say something like, ‘I like you Marley’, or, ‘I love you Marley’, or maybe even, ‘Marley be my girlfriend please? I want you.’ BUT NOOOOO. He hugs me and leaves. I flip over like a patty and my face is buried on my pillows soft surface. My eyes close and I daze off.


I’m running in the woods. Tripping over some stupid plants that are overgrown. Getting scratches on my arms from rose bushes. I can’t really see where I’m heading too because the light is like a twilight blue. I suddenly have the urge to stop, so I do. I grab hold of a tree, my breathing turning heavy. I feel someone following me. My body overwhelms with burning heat and I’m quivering with fear. I know someone’s here, and that someone knows I’m here. A twig snapped in half. I quickly shut my eyes, I don’t want to see whatever’s out there.
“Marley…” a whisper. He whispers into my ear.
Shivers went down my back. My eyes open to spot a animals black silhouette walk from behind me to in front of me. The only color I can see are the silhouette’s red eyes. Then I can see the silhouette change shape as well as the eyes coloring changing. The red fiery eyes morphing into bright blue crystal eyes. I stood there dumbfounded with my mouth hanging open. My grip on the tree tightens as the silhouette walks with what sounds like feet towards me.
I release my grip off the tree and gasp. I fall on the ground, or…at least I think I should’ve had. A hand…a-a hand was touching my legs. I squirm, that’s when I feel something on my back. A? My eyes widened, another hand. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” I screech with all my might. The hands grip on me tightened while I squirmed. “Let me go!!” I shout and kick my legs. The hand releases my legs but then hugs me from the back. His hands holding mine on my stomach. I shake my shoulders, “Let me go you creep!” I scratch the guys hands with I short nails. He still doesn’t let me go. He turns me around swiftly and hugs me again. I slide my hands between our bodies and start trying to push him away. “Marley please.” he begs. I freeze. I know this voice, “Romeo?” I ask. The guy releases his hug on me. As he takes a step back he nods. I scan his body, “Y-you have a…” Romeo smiles, showing his pearl white teeth and what looks like four fangs. Two on the top layer of his teeth, and the other two on the bottom. Those fangs replaced the wisdom teeth that were supposed to be located there. “I have a body like you.” he murmurs so proudly and thankful. I eye him up and down, “I can’t see you.” He’s literally pitch black, the only color I can make out of him is his bright blue eyes and his pearl white teeth.
He kicks a dirt rock, “Your not supposed to.” I raise my eyebrow, “Why?” He shrugs, “I don’t know, It’s like some kind of rule I have to follow by.” I take a step closer to him. He steps back, “No, don’t walk closer.” I didn’t listen, so I kept walking towards him until I made him bump into a near by tree. He was trapped by me now. I walk up to him so that my body is against his. I could feel his stomach moving up and down from his breathing -which was uneasy- “Are you okay?” I ask him, noticing his breathing. He swallows, “I’m fine it‘s just...” I
