~Frankie's P.O.V~
My girlfriend just broke up with me. I was very upset by this so I had gone for a walk. I was looking at the diamond ring I was going to give her. I was finally going to marry her. I really thought she was the only girl I could ever love, and I knew I was underage and everything, but I really really thought she was THE ONE (and all you guys no what i mean).
I had passed by a darkened alleyway. The moon was right between the two building which had revealed the outline of a body. At first I thought it was a dead body and was gonna keep walking, I mean hey it's Bellevile, N.J. a lot of dead bodies show up in odd places. Then I heard small cries of pain coming from it.
I walked over to it and it was a young girl, she couldn't have been a few months older than me. She had burn marks on her back and a cut on the side of her head. I couldn't tell how bad it was because her hair was matted over it and completely drenched in blood.
I had picked her up carefully and took her back to my place. I had gotten her inside, finally, and put her on my couch. I then called my friends Kaitlin, Lindsay, Della, and Lauren. They were best for helping this girl's wounds, if I had tried she'd probably be dead by now... they were good with that stuff cuz they had to deal with me and Mikey and all the insane s**t we did...
They had asked if I needed any more help after they tended to this girl, now lying back on my couch, but I said I could handle it from there and I was pretty sure I could too. That almost turned out to be completely wrong in the most strict sence. I thanked them for their help and they left me with the girl. I picked her up again, she was very light like she only weighed 20lbs but she clearly didn't, and I put her in my bed and tucked her under the covers. I slept on the floor, which I normally did. I was sure she wouldn't mind it, unless some guy twice her size had raped her and beat her and left her in the alley for dead, then we might have a problem.
'Man do I have an over imaginative mind tonight...' I thought quietly to myself thinking of all the things that could have happened to this girl.
In the early morning I heard giggling and I could feel someone's hot breath against my face. I had thought at first it would be Roxxanne, my now ex-gf, coming to apologize to me for what she did. Man, was that hardly the case. When I opened my eyes finally I saw the girls crimson blood red eyes. Definitally a shocking color for eyes, but none-the-less, shockingly beautiful. When I looked down I finally realized the posistion we were in, if someone had just walked in they might have thought I was with some prostitute, a good looking one at that. I had my right knee up and bent and my left leg was sprawled out on the floor, she was between my legs holding herself up with her knees and her hands, her hands were on both sides of my hips on the floor, and her face was so close to mine that it could have been mistaken for us kissing.
I stood up blushing trying to gain my composure. Next to Roxxanne this girl was infinty times more prettier than her. She stayed there on the floor like it was her place to be there, crossed her legs and giggled at me. I rubbed the back of my head trying to look somewhere that wasn't ..... her..... she was mezmerizingly beautiful.
'Damn' I thought.
"So...... did you sleep ok last night?" I couldn't really talk so it was like wierd for me to say anything to this girl, I was still beat red and probably babbling at this point. Just how pretty she was, was way beyond any word ever invented well at least to me she was it was like she was some angel (little did i no she was).
She looked a bit puzzled like I was speaking another language. Maybe she was like from another country like Asia and her dad was American and her mom is Asian and she only spoke Asian or something and couldn't really understand English.
'There goes my over imaginative mind again... damn i have to stop myself one of these days...'
She then tilted her head to the side shifting her weight from sitting on her butt to kneeling placing her hands in fists on her lap. I crouched down infront of her and put my hand over her head where the bandage was hoping maybe I could take some pain, if she had any, from her body.
"You must have taken a bad fall or something to get a cut like that on your head. And what happened to your back you have two burn marks there?" She tilted her head to the other side now still not sure of what I said.
"Ummm... let's try something simpler... What's your name?" She looked around like she was thinking and her eyes darted everywhere. Then she finally looked back at me and shrugged giggling again.
'Well she's definitally not been raped that's for sure. Maybe she was just beat up for something...'
"How do you not remember your own name?" She shrugged again. Suddenly the door bell rang.
'Three guesses as to who that was. 1) Gerard. 2) Gerard! 3) GERARD!'
I looked from the girl on my floor to my bedroom door trying to choose which to go with... and stupid me I chose the door.
"Hold on and stay here for a little while." I said getting up and walking out of my room leaving the lights off as they had been in the first place.
When I got to the door I opened it and none other than Gerard came in hugging me like a mad person, it was a good thing he was my best friend.
"So what's this I hear about a pretty girl staying with you after Roxxanne just broke up with you?!" He was always real blunt like that and he wasn't afraid of hurting other peoples feeling when he said them until after the fact that he said it. That time it definitally sturck a nerve I wasn't even sure that could hurt. Just him mentioning Roxxanne broke my heart a little more than it already was.
"It's nothing. I found her in an alley cut up and burned." I said lowering my head trying not to show my hurt. But of course knowing Gerard he huged me again and apologized. It still hurt, but I had to forgive him I wasn't just gonna stand there and say 'I don't forgive you I completely hate you' you don't do that to the one friend who saved you almost every time you were in trouble.
" Awwwe... I shouldn't have said that, I'm soooo sorry. Look you're better off wothout her. If she can't relize u for the kind and gentle man you are then who needs her." He was right in a way. When we got together she had been cheating on me even though I didn't say anything she did it anyway and kept it up until last night. I guess she felt bad for me 'cause I delt with her sluttiness(if thats even a word).
As Gerard was about to say something else I heard muffled cries coming from the girl in my room. It wasn't cries of pain this time, but of pain and just complete and utter horror.
"Damn, hold on Gerard." I ran to my room leaving Gerard dumbfounded as he followed me to my room. I turned on my lights to find the girl in the corner of my bed where it met the corner of the wall, crying. She even looked horrified. I sat next to her pulling her towards me to let her know she was safe here. She burried her head with her eyes closed into the side of my chest. Gerard sat on the edge of the bed infront of us.
"Sweetie are you ok?" He asked gently, playing with her hair. She looked up and revealed her crimson eyes. He had the same reaction to them as I did. That look like 'Holy s**t she's got really pretty eyes, but they're just an amazingly unusual color!' The girl shook her head in response.
"Can you tell me what's wrong?" He asked again like he didn't even notice her eyes. She pointed to my closet which was wide open and it hadn't been before I left the room. I knew this because I rarely ever open my closet the only that's in there would be my old video game consoles and possibly a few comic books... Gerard and I just looked at each other and shrugged.
"Do you want me to shut it?" He asked.
'Well that's sorta stupid if you ask me. She acting like she's four year old wouldn't a four year old who is scared want their closet shut because of it. And I'm not even the one who has a younger brother.' I was kinda of still mad at him so I kept my toughts that I wanted to shout to myself.
She burried her head into my ribcage again and Gerard got up shutting the door. She calmed down a bit when she saw it was closed finally.
"You don't like being left alone huh?" I asked kind of a dumb question on my part that time. She nodded.
"OK. Well while you're here I'll stay with you ok? Nothing's gonna scare you or get you while I'm here." She nodded.
'Well if she understood that we know she understands English.'
"Now can you tell me your name sweetie?" Gerard asked looking at her smiling. The girl shook her head again. She tried talking, but we could see it was hard for her to make the words come out. She was thinking hard like before and her eyes darted from wall to wall and floor to ceilling.
"Dunno name." She finally got out, she sounded like she was four. She shrugged and looked around again. She looked over to her right and saw my calendar she stared at it hard for a moment and then took it down. She was staring at the word in large blue print...... JANUARY.
Something must have clicked because she kept pointing at it and looking at Gerard and I.
"Name, name , name," She repeated.
"Thats your name? January?" I asked. Gerard and I scratched the back of our heads.
"Janry, Janry, Janry," She repeated again. She again sounded like she was four. This was one strange girl if I did say so myself.
"No it's January, say it with me now."
"Jan-u-ar-y." We said in unison. She smiled and threw her arms around my neck.
"January is lovely name is not?" She asked.
"Yes January is a very lovely name sweet heart." Gerard said smiling at her. She smiled back and I just kinda stared blankly at nothing.
'What have I just gotten myself into?!' This is one journey none of us will soon forget and I'm positive that's true!
