Nash's POV,
I am sitting on the floor staring at the crippled girl who is in front of me, she introduces herself as Melissa. This isn't the first time that I got so fascinated by someone's beauty; If I remember it correctly I also felt this way to my girl in the other section in my school but unfortunately, she is disgusted by me.
"Yohoo! Seems like your a bit terrified." Melissa said while she shook her head
"N.. Nice to meet you, My name is Nash Morton." I said on a utterly ridiculous tone
She looks at the ceiling for a while probably thinking of what to say next and then she smiled.
"Nice to meet you Nash!" She said cheerfully
I didn't expect her to think of an answer for that long and just greet me afterwards. I think of what I should say but nothing comes out of my mouth. I just noticed I am slowly turning red, if this continues she might have false thoughts which might lead to a bad impression.
I stood up and fix my coat and ask her,
"Nice to meet you too, Are you usually in here?"
"Hmmm.... Yes! In fact most of the time in my entire life is spent in here."
She isn't ashamed to say such things? But why? She knows that society will probably judge her for doing such impudent act most of her entire life.
"I suppose that's a joke?"
Melissa replied with a "NO"
As I expect, She is someone worth admiring. Her confidence makes me feel like a loser but its a good thing that she doesn't hide her real self. My eyes turns and focus at a certain plant and realize that there is a human shaped shadow on it, Who could that person be?
"Mind if we stroll around while talking?" I asked
"No, that's actually a great idea." She replied
I went behind her and volunteered to push her wheelchair.
"Uh what are you doing?" She asked
"I'm the one who suggested to stroll around so I guess I should be the one to push your wheelchair, right?"
"That's not necessarily important." She said
"But I think it is."
She just gave me a beautiful smile and we start strolling around the garden. I know I shouldn't feel nervous now but I can sense someone watching us, is it the person who that shadow belongs to?
"Hey you alright?" Damn Melissa must've notice me
"Yea." I said
"Then why are your hands shaking?"
"Oh its nothing, it is just some sort of nerve condition."
"What kind of condition was it?" She asked
"I don't really remember, it has a weird name." I replied
We were talking so normally till the guy from earlier came out of the bushes. I look at him especially his clothing, He seems to be having an eight grade syndrome or he really is a part of an organization that wear such clothing.
'White coat with blue shoulders with a logo of a circle with diagonal rays attached on it and an earphone on his ear. His shoes were so clean like it just came out of the store but I doubt it; there are scratches from the side indicating that he already scratch it to walls, tables or even chairs. He is also wearing a watch that only one hand is working. Conclusion = he is a neat person but seems to be on an unknown organization or he is just having an eight grade syndrome.'
I squeezed the handle of the wheelchair for a bit till a Melissa spoke up.
"Big bro!" Melissa shouted cheerfully
"Big bro?" I accidentally said out loud
"hmmhmm.. He is the first child our family AARON JEUX!" She said
"hey big bro, This guy right her is a nice one, his name is Nash."
Aaron seems to be annoyed at what her sister said.
"Nice to meet you sir, My name is Nash Morton."
"I remember telling you to stay at your room right?!" Aaron shouted
It looks like what he said somewhat saddens Melissa, I really don't want to interfere but I must protect her precious smile.
"Mister Jeux, Its not Melissa's fault that she is walking with me I actually am the one who asked for it." Uh wrong words lets forget that.
"Is it true Mel?" He asked
Mel? That's a cute nickname, better call her that next time.
"Yes but I also enjoyed walking with him so his not the only one at fault." Melissa said
Its been a long time since awkwardness struck me and now it is striking again, I think even his brother his embarrass with her words.
"Get dressed in your room, Mom would be coming home later." Aaron said
"Really?!?! I should get ready then."
"See you later Nash!" She moves the controls of her wheelchair and went out.
"I need to talk to you." Aaron said
"What for?"
"Your voice changed after Melissa left huh."
What does he mean, My voice never changes; In fact I have maintained this voice for the last five years.
"What do you intend to do to my sister?" He asked
"I know it doesn't look like it but I don't have any bad intentions, its just that she is beautiful and nice." I said
"What are your intentions?" I asked him
"My intentions is simple, I want to make a world where my sister could fit in; I don't care what it takes as long as my sister can live happily in it, it doesn't matter what else happen." He replied
"So you want to protect her?"
"To make it simple, yes I do; and if you like her you must do the same."
"I don't actually know whether I like her or not but I guess she is someone worth protecting."
He touched his earphones for a second and replied with words I don't understand.
"What is it?" I asked
"Remember me saying that I will do anything to make a better world for my sister? Catching a killer who massacred a almost a whole family is one of it."
