Phoenix 8390 · 01-18-2008, 02:25 AM

Hello everyone. This is a short love story written by me (Shannon) and D.A Forever (Grace).
It's about the relatives of our school characters; The main characters are Elissa Molina and Finnegan O'Callaghan. Elissa is the best friend of Grace's character's (Savannah) older sister. While Finn is the cousin to my character (Valencia). They originally started out as RPG characters themselves, but as you can see... grew into our little stars of this FF. We hope you enjoy!

Pulling herself from her train of thought, and from gazing outside her window at the darkened night. Out at the 'ancient' tree, as they called it, a figure sat under. Barely visible from her angle, courtesy of the grown, healthy summer leaves on a low hanging branch that casted a shadow over her best friend.

Emmylyne wandered from the slightly feminized guest room she shared, to the one right next to it, one that held a more 'manly' air to it. Where two teenage- almost of age boys were on the soft, carpetted, floor. Playing a game of Exploding Snap; while the third addition, paced.

She was sure to have caught one of her best friends' attentions; the one with rather untidy brown hair, and gorgeous sea green eyes; Axel. But... the other one involved in the silly, quite loud game, hadn't noticed; at first.

"Finn..." Her soft, sweet voice broke the silence of voices. Tucking strands of blonde, golden brown hair behind her ears. Emmy's brownish green hazel eyes followed the young man, as he moved. Her concerned expression hadn't changed. A smile hadn't graced her face all day, because. . . frankly, she saw no reason to be happy.

Startled by the unheard (till now atleast) appearance, with locks of chocolate brown, short curls, and eyes to match, Benjamin had a close encounter with one of the erupting cards.

"Owl! Must you sneak up on us like that?" He asked, frowning down at the game his best mate had just beat him in and shifting his weight, leaning backward with the support of his arms holding him up from behind. Owl was a nickname of Emmylyne's, only to be used by one of the four others from their group. In flight, some Owls were practically silent. Hence, why she had received such.

"Finn," the girl repeated, moving in front of her favorite sports partner. The one who also saw her best friend, their best friend, as his object of affection. "Elissa is outside. Now is your chance, if you don't talk to her now, nothing will improve from the tense state we're all in. You need to go talk to her, and really, get her to talk. Ask... about her past, don't be afraid to corner the Banshee-" Emmylyne paused, briefly in her sentence. "You'll never fully understand her, otherwise. And she won't allow you to," she didn't need to remind him to be gentle, although very serious about the cornering part since force may have been the only way anything would be said, Ems knew and had faith that Finnegan would accomplish this.

Only listening briefly to Emmylyne, Finnegan nodded once and ran both hands through his jet black, curly hair. Obviously he was going out there; there was no doubt about that. But what was he going to say to her? How would he get her to open up? She had created this turtle-like shell and no one had broken it, not even cracked it. Maybe this would be his chance. Maybe he’d be able to get in there; maybe he’d get to her heart.

“Hah!” Axel yelled in triumph. He had just won another game of Exploding Snap. Instead of starting a new one, he turned to face two of his best friends. “Finn, just do it. Listen to Ems. She knows what she’s talking about,” he nodded. Finn too nodded, patting his cousin on the shoulder without a word. As if Axel should lecture him about relationships. He was practically in love with Emmylyne, but he wouldn’t tell her. He didn’t even tell Finn, but he was smart enough to know his cousin. He wouldn’t be like that though.

Nodding once more to his friends, the young man walked silently out into the summer night. He spotted Elissa immediately, underneath their ancient tree that they hung out at practically every day. Taking a deep breath and exhaling for quite some time, Finn made his way over to the beautiful creature and sat down next to her. He didn’t say a word; he just sat and looked at her through twilight blue eyes.

A few moments passed without either of them speaking when finally Finn broke the silence. “Eli, talk to me. Tell me… everythin’. Please.” His voice was strained, like he had been awake for days on end, and not to mention he spoke with a very thick Irish brogue as well which sometimes made it hard for people to understand him. He was merely stressed. Stressed because he was thinking about what she was going to say. He was about to give his heart to her on a platter and he couldn’t help but wonder if she would just give it right back. It was definitely a scary thought, but he had to do what he thought was right.

Maybe everythin’ll be alrigh’. You don’t know tha’ it won’t. Maybe she feels that same way ‘bout you. His mind went back and forth with the pros and cons of what he was about to do. There really was no use in thinking about it. It was already happening. He had already put himself out there and there was no turning back. He made the right decision and was standing by it.

Glancing up at the house for a brief second, he could see a few figures dart out of the way of the light just as he looked up. Obviously his friends were watching. Good, witnesses. Just in case she decides to kill me.

Sammy.Snow · 01-19-2008, 02:22 AM

Really nice girl's i'll have to stick around for the rest.

D.A Forever · 01-19-2008, 07:09 AM

Elissa had finally, found some peace. Somewhere to sit, and clear her mind (Or try, in the least). Somewhere she was quite fond of; still, even the old stumpy tree couldn't make her want to stay here. In Canada.

It wasn't the place. Since the age of five, when she had been set up on a playdate with her parents' friends' granddaughter, she had always felt right at home here. Ever since that day, so very many years ago; She, Axel, Benji, Finn and Emmy had become the best of friends. And every year after that, Emmylyne's grandmother would invite them all over to her house, to spend part of summer together.

So many memories filled her head, thinking about this place. Gazing around, at the beauty night fall had placed upon the already lovely home, the girl's eyelids closed; and her head leanning barely backward onto the tree.

Why didn't she want to be here, now? Even though it seemed quite nice? It wasn't.

It also wasn't anyone's fault, not in particular. But, growing up was stressful. In the long run, Eli wished to blame that. Truth be told, that was a very lame excuse. She knew that.

She knew, what everyone said about her. At school, at home (Not by her parents, or little sister, but by neighbors), everywhere and anywhere that held people who 'thought' they knew her. But, none of them did. Nor would they. The one person, other then her parents and little sister, that knew of her full past; was Emmy. Her best and most trusted friend. She knew it all, She was the one friend Eli was willing to go to, in a time of need, or anything like that. But, only her. Yes, She did have friends at school; Beauxbatons. The thing was, even the three boy's in their 'circle' didn't know her whole past. Only everything up after they had all met. Nothing of those five years before that, were spoken of. Yet everyone, was curious. And she, Elissa, was unwilling to let them that far in.

What was really starting to naw at her insides, that was really starting to play with her emotions, was that it wasn't just the classmates at school she was hearring stupid comments from, it was the people she trusted most. The circle she was in.

They, the five teenagers, had been here at Angelina's for two weeks now. Everything had been going smoothly..up untill three days ago. Since then, she had isolated herself more from the others. Both mentally and physically. Which was why she was finding peace outside. And, because she needed to cool down. She, and Ems had gotten into a huge argument; her dear friend had been quite blunt, and demanded to know why she was being so cold to them, all of a sudden. So 'unlike herself', in Emmylyne's words. Eli hadn't bothered to explain herself. She had just..left, out here, to sit under the ancient tree, in the moonlight.

Those three nights back, when she had been coming back from grabbing her blanket from her and Ems quest room so she could get more cozy to watch the muggle movie they were putting in; Eli had overheard them saying something. Something about her, and 'her shell' A turtle shell. That she used to block herself, her emotions, her personal thoughts and feelings, from everyone else.

The comments were always worse, but she took her friends speaking of it too, badly. The things others said; she could brush off, but these where people she had grown to love..and those 'shell' remarks did make her feel as though, behind her back, they pictured her as some kind of robot, or something stupid.

And that, wasn't the last of the things on her mind. Not close, but the next subject was getting older. . .moving on, and seperating, from their pack; their circle; their group. the family they had created, between them.

Here she sat, at sixteen- three and a half months till seventeen, years old. Going into her sixth year of wizarding school. Soon enough, they'd each be heading to graduation. She and Emmy; from Beauxbatons, of course. And Axel, Finn and Benji; from Durmstrang. Yes, different schools. That was one of the biggest reasons it important for summer's to be 'their time together'.

Axel and Benjamin were going to both become Auror's. 'Fighting side by side', they always said. And Emmylyne, against the boys' protests, would be too. Right along side them. Emmy and Eli, weren't your average girly-girls. At all, actually.

Finnegan...Finn, would become a professional Gaelic Soccer player, for his home team. He already had fangirls, and everything. Much to Eli's displeasure. She, was one of them. .sort of, He knew she supported him in his game, but she dispised the frilly, loud, girl's that cared to cheer him on. No, she was not jealous. Those girl's didn't stand a chance, in her best friend's life. She had no reason to be jealous.

As for Elissa, She planned to be a writer. Of what kind? She was still uncertain. Undecided. But journalism was in her blood.

Three would be able to stick more together. . .clearly. Herself and Finn? Not so much. Both of their future career's would involve traveling, which meant leaving. In her mind, she couldn't stop from wondering if after awhile they'd all just stop talking, or rather..if she would. At this rate, that's what she already thought. Eli didn't have her hopes too high for that idea to be wrong. Which was why she wouldn't talk to them. Why she wanted nothing more but to go home, back to Spain.

Somehow, She managed to keep those pesky thoughts of all sorts from her mind. And just sit there, in silence, for afew moments before taking notice that someone had joined her. She knew, without opening her eyes, or without a voice, who it was.

Her heart had nearly jumped into her throat, but she didn't act any less composed. Only more tense, and that was an automatic thing. She waited for him to say something, before allowing her amber eyes to come back into view and lifted her head from its resting spot. Stretching her legs out infront of her, Eli refused to meet his gaze. Instead she looked to the otherside, towards the moon right above the trees. Strands of brown chestnut hair fell into her face somewhat, but she made no move to fix that.

In all honesty his tone, the way he sounded, caused emotions to hit her like a brick wall. Eli couldn't show that she cared. She did, a whole lot. Possibly..more then one friend should, for another friend. But still, she shown no emotion. "I don't know what your talking about, Finnegan..explain further, and I may be able to answer that." Elissa responded, quietly. Numbly, almost. It was best this way. . .for everyone. Stop the pain, before it could get any worse, right?

Rolling twilight blue eyes to the dark sky, Finn looked at her with a quizzical expression. Like she couldn’t possibly know what he was there for. As if she had no clue as to why he was sitting in the dark, under a tree with her. To him, it was quite obvious. Lately he had been much more evident in his attempt for her to notice him. But could she possibly be that blind?

Sniffing a bit and moving into a more comfortable position while leaning against the tree, the young man studied the look on her face. She wouldn’t look at him. What was he to make of that? Did she honestly not know what he wanted to know or was she merely looking for a way to stall in order to avoid the question? Either way, he planned on getting the information out of her, no matter how annoying he had to be.

“Wha’ d’ya mean you don’t know wha’ I’m talkin’ ‘bout? I know you’ve heard us chattin’.” He paused, knowing full well that he hadn’t been one of them. But if they were going down they would take him with any day so he might as well not fight it. “Tell me ‘bout your past. Tell me…wha’ makes you…who you are,” he asked softly, shifting his legs a bit. “And you neva’ call me Finnegan. Somethin’ must be wrong.” Even though it was meant to lighten the mood, it still striked him as odd that she would call him by his full name. Usually it was ‘Finn’ or some strange name she came up with, especially if she was angry with him.

Absently, his feet found the Gaelic Football he had left out earlier. Axel and Ben had challenged him to a game during the day while both girls sat around. Yes, two on one. And those other boys were built too, but they were no match for him. Finn was already being heavily watched by the Dublin football team. They were planning on recruiting him after he graduated from his ‘boarding school’, as his parents had told them. Over the summer, the team had a training program for possible players for the new team. He was definitely one of the top contenders.

Spinning the ball on the tip of his shoes, using his hands of course, Finn managed to keep it going. He then took the ball into himself, wrapping his arms around it while exhaling vociferously. He felt mentally exhausted after thinking about what he was to say to Elissa. Finally he had come out with it and she had questioned him as to what he was talking about. There was no other explanation as to why he had come out here in the first place other than his love for her.

From the day he met her he had loved her. He had even told Emmylyne that he would one day open her up. His plan was in action today and so far he thought he was doing a terrible job. She felt uncomfortable right now and he could tell. That was the last thing he wanted. All he wanted was to get her to tell him about her past. And maybe, just maybe, he’d tell her why.

“I just feel like I don’t know you. Lately, especially. You’ve been very…reserved. I…miss ya, believe it or not,” he said weakly, pushing one strand of hair from her face only so he could see her beautiful eyes. “Please. Open up to me. Ya can, you know. I’ll listen.” Although he tried to be serious, there was something about his Irish brogue that had a warming sensation about it that always made someone smile. Although, she probably wouldn’t even notice the air his voice had, especially now.

There was nothing else he could do but wait. He could tell she was thinking, that was always a given. Something about her facial expressions always gave it away that she was hard at work on something. What it was he never knew. This time, he hoped to be lucky. What he didn’t want was for her to rip his head off. He kind of needed that.

Phoenix 8390 · 01-23-2008, 02:44 AM

Here's the next part loves! Hope you enjoy!

Disregarding both the fact that he, of one, knew she heard those comments, and, his question; It only took a moment for something in her head to click. Emmy had mentioned something to them. Finn knew her past..they all did, everything but what had happened before they met. Why would anyone, including Finnegan, think anything could happen in those five little years of being born unless someone had said something to make it sound as if they hadn't been your average child's five year's of life. Blasted girl; couldn't just stay out of it! No matter how much Elissa wished to blame her best friend, deep down she knew it would have happened anyways. The boy was far from stupid, on the contrary, he was quite smart. And caring..and- ELI STOP THAT! She silently scolded herself, immediantly. No, Elissa denied those feelings. Friendship, they had. But she couldn't, and wouldn't allow those feelings to become stronger. . .which, truth be told; little did she realize, was far too late and out of her control.

Although she was staring anywhere off to her otherside, anywhere but at him, Eli was listening. To every word, and every movement he made beside her. Hearring that Irish accent so...quiet, so soft..made her feel those mixed emotions, that she faught back with great diffculty. Finn knew something was wrong, she was unsure if that was a good thing or bad. But either way, she simply refused to let him that far into her life.

As she felt his hand barely graze her cheek, tucking hair behind her ear, Eli's amber eyes (without meaning to) locked with his twilight blue ones momentarily for the first time tonight. Breaking the connection after a second of coming back to her sense's, the sixteen year old used the tree behind them to help her get to her feet. Strands of hair, again, started to fall into her face as she bent foward just abit; brushing grass from her jean shorts and straightened up again. Only then sweeping chestnut hair out of her eyes, "You do know me, though. Finnegan, you know everything past five years old, that's all you need to know. Alright?" It didn't take a rocket scientist to know something had happened, Elissa was avoiding that question with every fiber of her being.

Without bothering to slip her flipflop's back on, Eli wondered across the grassy lawn; She couldn't read his expression, his thoughts, no matter how hard she tried. He always managed to confuse her, without meaning to or even knowing it. Slowly, her fixed stare on the ground went to the woodsy bushes, that hid their path to the closes neighbors house. Ms. Agatha, was actually on her mind too. She made the top two things in her mind. Wanting to go home, to escape from this..and the other part of her wanted to go see the elderly women. To have Aggie sit her down for a warm cup of tea and talk.

"If it makes any difference. . .I've missed you too, though that makes no real sense since we've both been here, still I have."Elissa admitted, almost silently. She didn't dare turn around, or look at him. Normally she would have never told him that, but not wanting to seem so harsh for basically blowing off everything else he had said. She didn't want to go so far, just far enough where he'd leave that touchy subject alone.

A confused expression cloaked his facial features as Finnegan watched Elissa stand and walk away. He too stood, allowing the ball he had been clutching so tightly to fall to the ground and disappear into the shadows. Something about her always puzzled him, but tonight he planned on cracking that case. What was it about her that was so attractive? Was it that she didn’t want him? Or was it merely the fact that he knew she had a good heart? Either way, he was head over heels.

Moving closer and closer to the girl, Finn reached out with both hands and turned her around, making her face him. “I know you migh’ think tha’, but I want to know wha’ makes you tick. Why are you the way you are?” He spoke quietly, not wanting her to blow up on him, which she did on occasions.

His hands never left her upper arms as he stared at her face, as if trying to read her expression. She was so…mysterious. Yes, that was the word. She never did what he thought she’d do. The only time he was spot on was when she was about to yell at him, and sometimes he didn’t know why that was. Either way, she was going to tell him about her past no matter how much he had to bug her. It was a need of his. If he loved her, he wanted to know everything about her. And he really loved her.

He watched as her eyes looked everywhere but him. Why? Was it because she was ashamed of her past? Did she really not want to tell him that badly? These were all extremely good questions that he wished weren’t true, even though they probably were. “I jus’ wanna know wha’ ‘appened,” he sighed, his twilight blue eyes searching her face and attempting to come in contact with her amber ones.

Ah yes, at her last words it made him think. Maybe she really does care for me the way I care for her. “See? I know somethin’s goin’ on. You’ve missed me. You’ve neva’ said anythin’ like tha’. You’re…isolatin’ ya’self. You neva’ do tha’ unless somethin’s wrong. And usually we leave tha’ up to Ems to talk to you, obviously because you wouldn’t wanna boy to, but this is different. I can feel it,” he said, placing his hand over his heart at his last statement. At that point he was just musing, saying all of the things on his mind only to try to get her to spill her heart out.

Not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable, Finnegan dropped his hands down to his side and slowly paced back and forth on the grass in front of Elissa. His brain was actually hurting. Now I know what it feels like when someone says ‘me brain ‘urts’. This is ridiculous, he thought, making the appropriate faces at the appropriate times. He looked up at Eli, for he had been watching his feet, and sighed. “Please.”
