A Match Made In Heaven by Brea isome (best e reader for manga .txt) 📖

me away from the bullshit.

I wouldn't blame her for me leaving the foster home to leave with Jas. The home wasn't that bad i just wanted something different, and better. I wanted more attention and love so i left. I would rather live with my best friend than complete strangers that didn't really give a fuck about me.

I wouldn't blame Ms.Johnson for me working at Heaven. That was also my decision. I never wanted to weigh down on Jas and her grandmother. Getting a job was the only option. Nobody was hiring sixteen year old and when i met AJ- it was just an easy fix.

It wasn't Ms.Johson's fault that i had met Ashton, gave away my virginity and got my heart broken in the span of about a week.

I was ready to just get away from the neighborhood and start over. I found myself hoping that she didn't live anywhere near Brimson. I didn't want to see Ashton, Macey, AJ, or Ashton ever again a day in my life.

The only person i didn't want to leave behind was Jas. She was my best friend, my sister. She was a few years older than me but that never stopped the bond tht we had grown so long ago.

When we got out of the house Darius was leaned up against Ms.Johnson's car and Jas was leaned up against her own. I went to Jasmine, not sure how to explain the situation to her. I mean, what is Ms.Johnson didn't live in Brimson? I would be happy , right? But how could i stand in my best friend's face, happy about leaving, only to tell her that i would't be seeing her for what would probably be a very long time.

" so, what happened, Mix-breed?" Jasmine asked, as she eyed Ms.Johnson who was talking to Darius in hushed tones. I wanted to laugh at the nickname that she hadn't called me in so long but i couldn't even force that out.

" turns out that, Ms.Johson is my aunt. And he," I pointed to Darius " is my brother. He's been in jail since i was eleven. He just got out."

She sreeched and hugged me before pulling back with a huge smile on her face. But when she saw my face, her smile quickly dropped. " what's wrong sweetheart? You have a family."

" yeah but," I paused. I was getting choked up at having to tell her. Why couldn't some magical angel just whisper it in her ear for me. " she adopted me. I'm happy about that, really. Ever since i was put in this home all i could think about was getting out. But, the problem is, i don't know where she lives. She could live all the way across town, or farther. I'll probably have to leave you."

She was sad, i could tell. But she put on a smile, despite the tears falling from her eyes. " don't worry about it. You'll call everyday and tell me all the details, and - and - we'll visit eachother. Right? Come on, i'm happy for you." She wrapped an arm around my shoulder. " best friends forever?"

" of course." We hugged and everything began to pour out of me. Emotions i thought i would never feel came flooding out. Here was a girl i called my best friend, whe knew everything about me and who would do anything for me, that i was leaving behind.

" maybe we're over reacting," she whispered in my ear. " i bet she just lives down the street."

I hoped not. I wanted to get as far away from my pain as possible. But i wanted to take Jas with me.

" i doubt it. Look, there's almost two thousand dollars stuffed into my pillow, the pink fluffy one. I want you to have it. I was saving it to get my own place but- you keep it."

" i couldn't."

" you can and you will."

" Saphire!" Ms.Johnson called out to me. " come on, we have a long drive ahead of us."

After another few minutes, we pulled away from eachother, saying ' i love you's ' and all.I slid into the back seat of Ms.Johnson's car, she slid into the driver's seat and Darius into the passenger seat.

We drove for ten minutes until i got up any nerve, or conposed my self , to ask her where she lived.

" i live in Florence. It's beautiful there too. Farms and open fields and nice people. You'll like it. I know it's hard for you to digest, leaving so suddenly. But trust me, it's for the best." She said sadly, looking at me in the rearview mirror before flicking her eyes back to the road.

Florence was a ten hour drive. Yeah, i was definately leaving Brimson behind. I was definately leaving Jas behind.

Darius turned in his seat. " look at the brightside, we have our family back."

I forced a smile but the tears just kept on coming. It was a never ending river that i didn't want to stop. I needed to get this pent up emotions and feelings out or else they would probably kill me.

" what's your name?" I asked m.Johson after another few minutes had passed in silence. " since you're my aunt, i should know your name, right?"

" my name is Silver."

 

And Then There Were Three

-Saphire-

"wake up, Saphire."

I groaned as my eyes slowly pealed open and Darius was leaning into the back seat of the car, peering down at me. The morning sun was bright, burning my already sensitive eyes and irritating me even more than i already was.

" get up, we're here."

I was so groggy, so tired, that i ddin't feel like moving at all. " can you carry me?" I asked in the sweetest voice i could mustar up. I just wanted to try it out on him to see if it would work. Over the years i had came in contact with girls whose brothers gave them the world. They would move heaven and hell if it meant leasing their little sisters. My brother was finally in my life, we had some things to make up for.

He chuckled but picked me up bridal style, my arms wrapped around his neck.

Silver got out of the car and looked at us, smiling. She sighed, a happy and relieved sigh. " for the past few months, all i've wanted to do is bring you two back together under one roof. I'm so happy i'm able to finally do that. It's a shame, really. Darius you went to jail and although we kept in touch - i never would have imagined my sister would've died."

" if she hadn't have diedwould i have ever known that you exist?" I asked.

Her smile changed from sweet to sad." no. There's so much that you and your brother don't know. I just- i wouldn't feel right speaking on it with Sasha being gone and all. Just know that i love you both, and i always have."

We began to walk-well,Silver and Darius began to walk with Darius carrying me- up to the Beautiful two story home. It sat in the middle of a field that was covered in healthy green grass and elegantly colored flowers. The house was white with a light purple front door and shutters on the window. It had a wrap around porch and a porch swing to accompany it. At that moment i wanted nothing more than to swing on that swing and lay my head back.

I could already imagine myself moaning in ecstacy as the nice, cool breeze ran through my hair and massaged my scalp.

So, this was my new home. I would be here, until i was old enough to decide what to do and where, exactly i wanted to be. This place looked so peaceful, just about the total opposite to the place i had grown up.

" okay, " Silver announced once the door was open. " no shoes in the house, the floors are sensitive and i scrub the carpets myself."

I kicked off my heels once Darius sat me down, he pulled off his boots and Silver kicked off her own heels.

Silver ushered us into the living room that had a white carpet, white couch and love seat, a small glass cocktail table, and a flat screen tv that hung on the wall. "no food in here, no feet on the table, no pencils or pens and no jumping on the sofa."She turned to Darius and i. "got it?"

I have a small smile and Darius and i both said a small 'Yes'before she wrapped her arms around us, bringing us into a group hug that had everyone laughing.

" i'm so glad you guys are here. I can't wait to spend time with you guys.We have so much to catch up on."

 

 

New Beginings

2 years later 

- saphire- 

I grabbed the two warm paper cups that held me and Silver's sweet addiction and handed over a twenty dollar bill, smiling at the boy behind the counter in a green smock. " keep the change." 

He smiled right back and I left to find the small table over by the large window that Silver had picked out.  

Once I sat down I gave Silver her cup of coffee and she took a sip while bouncing Sahari on her leg. 

Sahari was so beautiful. Almost a year old and she reminded me so much of my mother. When she was born, Silver swore up and down that she looked dead on me.  

But to me, Sahari looked exactly like her mother - Silver. Silver had gotten pregnant by her ex befriend and when he found it she was pregnant, he skipped town.  

" thank you so much. " Silver said, taking another sip. " so, have you given anymore thought to what I said?" 

I rolled my eyes up, deciding not to respond to her. Silver wanted me to go back to Brimson. She thought I had issues that were unresolved. Often, she said that she would see flashes of anger or sadness in me that I never noticed. I mean, sure, I always felt something inside of me that made me want to go back- just to see.  

There wasn't anything tying me to Brimson. But Jaz was there, and Ashton was there. When I first moved to Florence, me and Jaz talked everyday faithfully. We talked about our lives, her new job, her goals, everybody in our old neighborhood,Ashton, and even Aj. But after a few months, she stopped calling. Anytime we
