Soulmates

Sierra's POV
I slowly opened my eyes and smiled at the sight in front of me . I watched as Brian breathed slowly in and out , his mouth slightly parted and his eyes shut . He had a calm expression on his face , and he was somehow glowing in my eyes ...

Last night really happened . Every single part of our story together seemed to be totally crazy , like it came from some kind of fairytale or something . And the best part was that it was a fairytale none of us wanted to end ...

Just looking at him right now made me feel complete and utter happiness . However I frowned the moment I saw his face scrunching in pain , which reminded me of the fact that I had to go and get his painkillers .

I slowly started trying to get myself out of his huge arms , but stopped the moment I felt his grip tightening around me ..

'' Don't even think about it ... '' I heard his soft voice and looked at him again , an innocent - looking smile forming on my lips ...

'' Think about what ? '' I asked softly , and he smiled at me sleepilyshly

'' You know ... Leaving the bed before I get the chance to wake up ... Kiss you and tell you how beautiful you are ... '' he said sweetly before crushing his lips on mine , sharing a sweet , passionate kiss before stopping and caressing my cheek ...

'' I just can't believe this is real ... '' he whispered ...

'' Yeah , me too ... It seems like it's all some kind of a story in my head or something , and one day I'll wake up and you'll be g- '' I started saying , but he cut me off ...

'' I'll never leave you , Sierra ... I know it's too soon and sh*t , and that you'll probably think I don't mean a word I'm saying ... But if there's one thing ... '' he said and stopped as he took a deep breath and casted his look low ...

'' If there's one thing Jimmy's passing taught me , is that life is too f*cking short ... And I don't care if it's too soon , I just want you to know how I feel ... '' he finished and looked straight in my eyes , his warm chocolate orbs boring holes in mine as I nodded faintly and wiped off a single tear that had just rolled down his cheek ...

'' I know , baby ... And I feel the same too ... I swear I do ... '' I smiled and hugged him as tightly as I could , only to stop when I heard him grunting slightly . I immediately pulled away and started getting up , but once again he stopped me ...

'' Hey ! I was enjoying that ! '' he whined as he kissed my shoulder and I simply giggled ..

'' Baby , you know you need your painkillers ... Just wait for a minute ! '' I said and quickly left the bed , and stood there staring at him tauningly as he pouted his bottom lip ...

'' Ohhh poor baby , don't worry I'll be back .. '' I said softly , but still he didn't change his expression ...

'' Yeah right .... That's what you say every time , and then you just vanish into thin air ... F*ck that I'm coming with you ... '' he said and moved to get up , but I saw he was struggling ...

'' Uhm , maybe you'd like some help or something ? '' I asked while giggling , and he turned to glare at me ...

'' No , thanks ... '' he muttered and moved to get up once again , but immediately fell back , grunting continuesly . I felt so sorry for him right then , but I wouldn't go and help him up unless he asked me to .

He slowly raised his head to meet mine , and said in a soft , girlie voice ...

'' Please will you help me ? '' he said , and I went to help him while softly laughing . He was so adorable sometimes ... Basically screw ''sometimes '' , he was adorable every single second ...

With some effort , and some rather loud groans emerging from Brian , we managed to reach the living room . I carefully helped him to sit comfortable down the black , puffy couch , and immediately rushed to the kitchen , sighing loudly the moment I laid my eyes on the small , white bottle of painkillers . I grabbed a glass , filled it with water and rushed to Brian's side ...

'' Here you go ... You can take up to two each time ... 3 times a day maximum ... '' I said slowly as I watched him taking the pills , and nodding while he drunk the water . After he finished , he simply stared at me ...

'' Whaaaat now ? Too ugly for my own good or something ? '' I joked as I looked down , avoiding his gaze . He chuckled softly , as he used his two fingers to lift my chin up softly ...

'' The opposite , actually ... Too beautiful ... Honestly you are just like a dream ... '' he whispered softly , and captured me in yet another sweet kiss . I smiled ...

'' Quoting The Cure , now ? '' I said , and he smiled back ...

'' I know you love that song too .. '' he said , and I nodded while I wrapped my arms around his neck , as he wrapped his own around my waist ...

We simply stayed like that , messing with each other until the door's bell interrupted us ..

I slowly left him , and rushed to answer the door .. Truth be told I was kind of creeped out , I mean , who would knock on the door so early in the morning ...

I opened the door to reveal a skinny boy , who held an envelope in his hands . He couldn't be older than 12 ...

'' Are you Mrs Sierra ? '' the boy asked , and I nodded ...

'' Yeah , who are you ? '' I asked , but he looked down ...

'' My ... My master told me to give this to you ... '' he said and held the envelope to me ...

'' Your what ? '' I asked in disbelief ...

'' My master , my boss ... He told me to give you this ... '' the boy mumbled , and I slowly took the envelope from his hands ... I noticed , though , that the boy had a large cut on the inside of his wrist , and some smaller cuts around it ...

They were forming a letter ...

'' Hey why don't you come in ? I mean we could g- '' I said , but the boy's eyes widened ...

'' No , no ... You don't have to I'm .... I'm okay .... Just read it ... '' the boy stuttered , and before I could say anything else he turned and run away from the door ...

I felt my blood freezing in my veins . The cuts on that young boy's arms , the letter they formed , they could only mean one thing : he was back ...

I could feel my knees getting weak , I could feel my hands trembling and my breathing slowing down . But I had to keep my ground , because Brian was still there , wide awake actually ...

I hid the envelope in the back pocket of the bottom of my shorts and let out a long sigh as I went back in the living room and crushed next to Brian , who kept looking at me weirdly ...

'' What ? '' I asked ...

'' Who was at the door ...? '' he asked , and I shook my head ...

'' No one ... They made a mistake ... '' I answered back , looking at the purple wall across the couch that all of a sudden seemed really interesting ...

'' Sierra , you know you can tell me anything , right ? '' Brian pressed and I sighed again ...

'' I AM telling you everything , Brian .... And I've told you that anything you don't know right now , you WILL find out eventually , ok ? I mean , THANKS for not pressuring me at all ... ! '' I bursted out and immediately silently cursed at myself and my annoying mood swings . I felt Brian's arm leaving my shoulder , and somehow his body stiffen . I turned to him , and looked at him apologetically ... We didn't even say a word as once again we hugged each other and rested our foreheads against each other's . That was the most magical part of our relationship : most of the times we didn't even have to talk to each other ...

'' I'm so sorry , Brian , really I am s- '' I tried apologizing , but he shook his head '' no '' as he smiled ...

'' Don't worry , I know ... '' I smiled back and kissed him once again , and right then Jason walked in ...

'' Hey , hey , hey slow it down , you lovebirds ! God , this much romance this early in the morning makes me want to puke my guts out ! '' Jason muttered , and both I and Brian chuckled softly ...

'' Jason , darling , it's like 12 ... It's practically lunch time ... '' I said , and he shook his head ..

'' Only for nuns and virgins ... '' he said and winked ...

I smiled , but suddenly felt Brians shifting , trying to get up . I looked at him , furrowing my eyebrows ...

'' Wha- '' I began asking him , but he shook his head ...

'' I .. I just have to do this ... '' he said , and after some effort he managed to stand up , and I saw him walking towards the kitchen's counter . Jason was currrently searching for something to devour ...

'' Uhm , hey man ... '' I heard Brian saying , and I figured out that those two wanted to talk in private or something , so I silently made my way towards the bathroom .
I locked the door behind me , and slowly took the envelope out . I left it and simply stared at it for a few seconds , before I took a deep breath and opened it , slowly unfolding the white piece of paper inside it ...

Brian's POV

'' Hey man ... '' I said to that Jason guy , and the same moment I noticed Sierra heading towards the bathroom... Smart girl

He turned and looked at me oddly ...

'' Uhm , hey ... ? '' he more asked than said ...

'' Listen , I just wanted to thank you ... For everything you did , for me , but most importantly for her ... '' I said , and he stared at me as if I had three heads ...

'' Okay , I guess ... '' he mumbled and poured some coffee in the large mug in front of him .. I sighed ...

'' And I know you don't like me at all , but be sure that I - '' I started , but he cut me off ...

'' No ,no ... It's not that I don't like you ... I don't TRUST you ... And honestly , I don't think I ever will ... I believe she's worth of someone 100 times better .. '' he said sternly , and I simply looked down ...

'' Still , though , you somehow make her happy ... This whole thing , this story you are starting , it's probably something that she's been dreaming ever since she was 16 or something ... '' he said and we both chuckled ...

'' So , yeah ... But I'm looking outfor her ... I don't want her getting hurt by you or any other asshole out there ... '' he added and I nodded ...

'' Believe me , I'll do anythin I can to keep her from getting hurt ... '' , but once again , Jason shook his head ...

'' You don't get it ... What if YOU are the asshole that hurts her ? '' he stated , and now it was my turn to shake my head ...

'' I'd hate my own self more than you or anyone else would ... She means the world to me ... '' I said , and Jason's eyes had widened ...

'' Okay , okay man ... I mean , I'm still not totally okay , but hearing you say those things ... Well , maybe I believe you ... '' he said and I nodded , faintly smiling ...

I knew Jason was a very importand part of Sierra's life ... I didn't want her to disconnect from him or something because of me . So I wanted to make things better between us ...

'' So ... we are cool ? '' I asked , and he nodded weakly ...

'' Yeah , I guess ... But if you break her heart or something ... Im going to kill you ... '' he looked at me sternly , and I nodded ...

'' Believe me , man , if I do something that stupid , I'll kill myself ... '' I said , and he nodded , before both of our eyes widened as we heard a piercing scream coming from the bathroom ...

Sierra's POV

I let out a scream I couldn't control as I felt myself breaking down completely ... I hugged my knees to my chest and started rocking myself back and forth as tears flew freely out of my eyes ...

I was trying to breathe the moment I heard heavy knockings against the door , and the voice of Jason , mixed with desperate shouts of Brian , that urged me to open the door .

I slowly picked myself up , and unlocked the door , facing a confused looking Jason and an awefully scared looking Brian , who was leaning against the wall , grabbing his side once again .

I literally threw myself against Brian's body , almost the same time when he reached to capture me in a tight hug . He held me there tightly , as Jason slowly made his way in the bathroom ...

'' He .. H-e found m-e again .... '' I managed to say through the sobs ...

Jason's POV

I slowly reached the envelope that was on the ground , and unfolded the white paper ... Now I understood where everything came from ...

The white page was stained with blood , and somehow the stains formed letters ...
Yeah Sierra's breakdown made total sense now ... Somehow the bastard had tracked us down once again ...
I read the words once again , trying to find any clues or anything that could help us find him .... But I had no such luck as I stood there and read the same horrific lines again and again ...

You look so beautiful when you sleep ... But the person next to you seems to be ruining the whole image . Don't worry , though , I'm going to fix that ...
