Serenity Pov
I wanted to walk off and go back to the spirit church. I wanted the spirits to give me more answers but I knew they wouldn't. I still wanted to try though. I sat there on the porch steps looking up at the stars. Somewhere out there was my family and my home. I actually wanted to cry.
"What's wrong with you," Chris said scaring me out of my tears.
"Nothing, you can go back inside," I said sternly.
"I was coming out for some fresh air," Chris said smugly. I rolled my eyes and slid as far as I could so I wouldn't touch him. We both sat there looking in different directions for five minutes.
"Why did you go out with Derek?" Chris asked.
"Why did you go out with my sister?" I asked back.
"I like her," he said immediately.
"I like Derek," I felt Chris tense up.
"Do you?" Chris said softly I almost didn't hear him.
"What's it matter to you?" I said getting annoyed at his rudeness. Chris stayed quiet. I got up from off the stairs and just sighed as loud as I could on the sidewalk. "I just want to go home."
"You want to leave?" Chris asked.
"Yes, I want to leave, I want to-," I was stopped by a pair of lips crashing onto mine. Chris kissed me and I kissed him back. I had never been kissed before. His lips were soft and smooth. I wanted to stay here and kiss him longer but I knew this was wrong. I pushed him off of me and ran. I knew he was running behind me but I didn't slow down.
"Serenity wait," Chris shouted as he continued to run behind me.
"Leave me alone," I yelled back.
"No, I won't please stop," Chris said. "I didn't mean to-," I turned around and looked at him.
"You didn't mean to, what?" I said.
"I meant, I wanted to kiss you but I know I shouldn't have," Chris said as he closed the space between us. "I know it was wrong and confusing but I don't want Derek to have that first."
"So you kissed me because you didn't want Derek to kiss me first," I said softly.
"No, wait, I wanted to kiss you because I li-," I placed my finger on his lips and begged him not to say anything more. "Serenity."
"Chris,"
"Okay, but just because I don't say it doesn't mean it's going to go away," he said. I looked away because his gaze was making my heart race.
"I want to show you something," I said softly. I was worried but I thought maybe it was necessary. I took his hand and walked him into the church. It looked run-down but I knew if the spirits welcomed him he would see something else soon.
"Um, I know you like this creepy looking place but its kind of spooky," Chris said. Suddenly, I felt the air get colder and I knew they were accepting him.
"Do you feel that," I said.
"Yeah, the ghosts are coming out to play," I rolled my eyes at him and pointed at the altar.
"Look, just stay calm," I said. Then the fire began to circle around us, then the water, and then the air.
"What the hell," Chris said confused.
"Sssh," I whispered. "They're going to show you something." Chris closed his eyes and then so did I. The spirits showed him my home. They showed him the planet Callisto and the entire galaxy. It was all beautiful and I was hoping Chris thought so too. When the vision was over Chris looked confused and in a daze. He fell to his knees and I began to worry.
"Chris, are you okay?" I said.
"Yeah, what the hell was that," he said.
"I am, I am not from around here," I said.
"Um, yeah I kind of figured that out," Chris said. "So, wait, what."
"It's a lot but I am from another planet, another galaxy actually," I said hesitantly. "I wanted to tell you because, at one point, I, Selene, and I will have to go home."
"Home, another planet, home," Chris was disoriented but I grabbed his hands and told him to look at me.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to say anything and freak you guys out," I said. "I know it's bad but-." Chris kissed me again. This time the kiss was deeper and a bit harsher.
"I like you, Serenity and maybe I shouldn't but I do. I didn't want to because things are just too confusing and bad in my life but I want to like you. I want things to be normal and I want to just like a girl and not worry about anything else."
"Liking me won't be normal," I said.
"I really don't care at this point," he said. "I just want to like you and kiss you." Chris tried to kiss me again but I backed away.
"I can't, Selene likes you," I snapped. "You shouldn't have kissed me."
"I wanted to, I had to," Chris said.
"No, you should forget about me and do not hurt Selene, okay, please," I begged him.
"I'm sorry. I am sorry I led your sister on and I am sorry I hurt you but I am not sorry I kissed you. I want to keep kissing you and frankly, I think I will. I don't want to stop kissing you," Chris stepped closer to me and placed his hand on my cheek. He gave me one small kiss and then kissed me again. He kissed me slowly and then more firmly. "I want to kiss you every day, all day."
"Chris, "I tried to speak but he continued to kiss me. I felt happy and annoyed. I wanted to push him away but I wanted to hold him close.
"Serenity, I don't want you to go but until you do, let me kiss you. Let me be close to you. I want no I need to be close to you."
