Hello guys! So I went back to school today. -.- What's the point of making us go to school for TWO days, anyway? Anywho, when I got home though, I found a package waiting for me from Aleeza (whattheflockx6) so that pretty much made my whole day! It was my 6 month late Birthday present and Christmas present! Haha. I love her. :3 Anywhozers, here is chapter 7 of Echo!
--
Selena sat comfortably at the dinner table as she slowly ate her pasta and listened in on the conversations. Pattie and Sasha were talking about wines, and John and Justin were talking about football. Selena had no place at this table, she could feel it, but she wasn't going to be rude and excuse herself, after all this dinner was for them to get to know her, though no one was paying one bit of attention to her. She moved her fork around in the noodles slowly as she looked down.
Justin was in a heated conversation with John about football, but his eyes kept trailing over to Selena. She had no idea he was watching her, and he could tell she felt left out.
"Hey Selena," asked Justin once the opportunity for him to get out of this conversation with John arose, "What did you do back in... California? That's where you lived right?"
Selena's head snapped up from her plate and she slowly nodded her head, "Yeah, that's where I lived. I didn't... I didn't do anything. Wasn't allowed," she spoke, her voice refused to go any louder than it was, and it was barely a whisper already.
"Oh," Justin nodded his head, sensing Selena was getting uncomfortable again.
"OKAY!" Spoke up Sasha, breaking up the silent tension that had fallen over the kitchen, "Let's clean up and go bowling!" She smiled, and they began to clean the kitchen.
Selena slowly walked inside the bowling alley and they went to a private lane.
"Don't we have to change shoes?" She whispered to Sasha who just smiled and shook her head.
"This is Justin's lane. They don't care if him or his guests wear bowling shoes or not. We choose not to," She smiled, wrapping her arm around Selena's shoulder, causing her to flinch slightly, but not enough for Sasha to notice. Selena took a seat on one of the couches set up in the lane and Justin started entering names into the score board.
"Can I be last?" Selena spoke up, her voice going up a tiny bit louder than usual. Justin turned his head slightly and smiled as he nodded; entering her in last and she took a deep breath.
John was up first, and Justin smacked his butt to be funny and John wiggled it, causing Selena to crack a smile for the first time that night. He did a few other crazy moves before throwing the ball and hitting a perfect strike. Everyone clapped, and he stuck his tongue out at Sasha as she slowly stepped up.
Sasha's small body struggled to pick up the ball as she laughed a little too hard, and winked at Pattie before bending over and throwing it granny style.
"OH COME ON!" John laughed, as Justin bent over, laughing hysterically as the bowling ball slowly rolled down and into the gutter. Sasha stomped her foot and pouted slightly, causing Selena to smile once more.
Next up was Pattie, who put on a serious face and threw the ball right away, and just like John hit a perfect strike.
"Beat that," she barked in her son's face, trying not to laugh.
Justin stood up from the couch and adjusted his already sagging pants and grabbed the bowling ball that was next. He turned around and winked at Selena before turning towards the alley, and just like John and Pattie, he threw a perfect strike.
"Next up, Selena!" Called Justin and Selena's stomach felt like it was on a roller coaster. She swallowed hard before slowly standing up and walking to the lane.
"I... I really don't know how to bowl," She stuttered, picking up the heavy ball.
"I'll help you," Justin said, getting up from his seat, and before Selena could protest, his arms were around her and his hand was over hers on the bowling ball.
Selena froze, and fear coursed through her veins faster than lighting. Tears formed in the back of her eyes, and the ball that was in her hand fell to the ground.
"Don't touch me," she whispered, tears falling down the plumps of her cheeks as flashbacks made there way through her brain, "DON'T TOUCH ME," She screamed, unwrapping herself from Justin's grasp and she ran out of the lane and into the darkness of the building. Her heart was racing as she exited the bowling alley and she collapsed onto the ground, gagging as if she was going to throw up. She began to shake as she sat there on the cold gross, an anxiety attack over taking her fragile body. Sasha and John ran out of the alley, and Justin and his mom stayed at the doorway.
"Selena?" Sasha said, but her voice sounded distant. John wrapped his arms around Selena and they quickly carried her to the car. Selena was too out of it to notice his arms around her, and as soon as they sat her in the car, she blacked out.
