Chp: 7 Memories
Folvos's POV
I see his hand reach up to my head, and as I watch his hand get closer I feel memories come flooding back too me.
I'm at a party, a new year's party by the looks of it. I glance around, Being there but not really seeing until my eyes reach one person in particular. Rose McFurson, the beautiful purple leopard I saw on my first day in year 8. I feel my body start to move on its own, like I'm in the back of a car that my past self is driving. I start to feel saddened at remembering her, I know what night this is, and I know which memory this is and why I tried to block it out. Past me seems rather excited though, I feel his tail start to wag slightly behind me as he walks forward, like most canine species do when they are happy. Rose turns her head around to face me, her hair, having blue streaks in the white that almost seem to glow, rolling over her shoulder with the sudden turn. I can see her smile as he walk up to her and hugs her from behind, kissing her cheek lightly. I know what happens, He pokes his head over her shoulder and starts to talk to some of her friends that are there. I can't hear what they are saying, but past me seems to be laughing. I feel a tear start to fall down my face and I watch as I... no, I watch as he kisses rose, after that everything seems to go foggy. After a minute or two it clears up and I can see the party has died down, and now I can hear music playing softly in the background as rose and past me stand out the front looking up at the stars.
"Is everything ok? You've been acting a little off all night." I hear past me ask and I am filled with regret. "I'm fine," she replies fidgeting a little in my arms. "You know you can tell me anything." I look down at her and smile at her, hoping to convince her to tell me, "Honestly, Folvos I'm fine." She states but her voice breaks a little in between the words so she quickly reaches up to scratch behind my ears, as I feel her start to scratch everything about me feels so much better, I forget what I was going to say and start to lean into her hand. My eyes shut and I feel like I'm flying, she always knew I was a sucker for this. She also knew that she was the only one I'd tell about this spot, I loved the feeling I gave me when she scratched me behind the ears. As much as I loved this I knew she was dodging the question, slowly and tentatively I reached up to grasp her wrist and take it away. She quickly looks up and realised I had stopped her, I can see panic in her eyes start to build up a little and she moves away from me. I can see a tear in her eye and I reach out to try and hug her but she looks at me says "Sorry." And starts to run across the road, I just stand there until I hear a sound that makes my heart stop still and time come to a standstill. The sound of screeching tires and a scream that can only belong to one person...
I snap my eyes open and without thinking I reach up to snatch the hand that was intruding on my ears. I hold it tightly and glare at the perpetrator, Andrew. He stared back into my eyes with an amount of fear I didn't know I could give to people. "Do not touch my ears again!" I all but shout at him and give him a death stare that could freeze medusa. I continue to glare at him until my brain kicked in. I see him looking really pale and wide eyed and wonder why for a second until I feel something in my paw, I look up and release his arm when I see what I've done to it. I turn my paw over and just stare at it, feeling a little better when I see no blood on it I still can't believe what I did. "I'm sorry, bad memories." Is all I can say and I notice him backed up a little away from me. "W...Would you like some water or anything?" he inquires surprising me a bit, "You would do that for someone who has just almost choked your hand?" I blurt out before I can stop myself, but I feel my head tilt to the side slightly as I watch him respond to my question. "Sure," he replies sounding a little unsure himself "Come with me, I'll take you to the kitchen." I watch him as he stands and walks out, slowly I get up and look around the room taking in my surroundings. Slowly I walk out the door and into the hallway, I glance around, again not paying attention just being there. Andrew starts to walk off and I follow behind him, annoying myself about how I let out my animal side. It wasn't his fault, he didn't know, I argue. You should've hurt him, made him pay! It screamed back and I just blocked it out, it wasn't his fault. We've reached some stairs and as we start to go down I get a skull-splitting head-ache, I go down on my knees and grab at my head howling in pain. I see AJ turn around and start saying things to me but I don't understand him, the only thing I understand is the pain! There is so much of it, it feels like my head is being pulled inside out. I lie down on the step I'm on and howl one last time before I black out from the pain.
"Folvos! FOLVOS!" My dad is beside me grabbing my shoulder and shaking it viciously trying to get me to wake up. "FOLVOS, Rose has woken up!" this gets my attention, I spring up from my bed and am dressed in seconds flat as my dad stands there looking at the blur I've become. "What are you waiting for? Let's go!" I state and run towards the car. It had been 6 months since our new year's party, 6 months of not knowing if she would wake up. Now that she has, I can't wait to feel her fur against mine again.
