Chapter 8

It was the end of The Giver, and it was quite an interesting sight. Melanie was crying into Donnie's plastron, Kristal was staring wide-eyed at the screen, Mikey was sobbing, Shadow wasn't paying attention, and neither was Casey, April was shoving popcorn into her mouth, I was trying not to laugh at the weirdness, while Raph had his arm around me. The movie ended.
"Wow." Raph said.
"Yep."
"WHY DID JONAS AND GABE ALMOST DIE?! ARE YOU TRYING TO CRUSH MY HEART YOU MADWOMAN?" Mikey sobbed.
"Um..."
"It wasn't even sad. Boring!" Shadow said, playing on her T-Phone.
"Yeah. Bad call." Casey said. April was still shoving popcorn into her mouth. I stole the bucket from her and shoved a handful of popcorn into my mouth.
"Woah, guys. It's midnight." Shadow said suddenly.
"Which means I'm going to bed. Night guys." I said, walking into my room. Sleep was a bad idea.

"Raph? No!" Dream-me yelled as Raph attempted to kill me. He got a good hit in, stabbing me in the side. I screamed in pain as I woke up.
"AAAH!" I yelled, panting. I ran my hands through my hair, which was damp. I must have broken out into a cold sweat while asleep. My door opened and Raph came running in.
"Are you alright, Emilee?" I didn't respond, just ran over to him and gave him a bone-crushing hug.
"Bad demigod dream." I murmured.
"Again?" I nodded into his shoulder. He sighed and hugged me tighter.
"You haven't gotten them this bad since we first met you. After your brother died."
"Well, I've been stressed lately." I picked my head up and looked at him.
"You've gotten taller." I said to Raph.
"That's random."
"Yeah, well, I used to be eye-level with you. Not anymore." He laughed quietly.
"You're too cute, Ems."
"This reminds me of the good-old days. Back at the farmhouse..." I trailed off, and began playing with Raph's bandana straps. He sighed in content.
"Yep. Before I tried to murder you," He stopped and looked me in the eye. ", I can't believe it's been four months since then." I nodded.
"It's been four months since we've been together. It's been horrible."
"I'm glad to have you back, Emmy." Raph said, and I smiled.
"I missed you too, Raphie."
"And, Emilee?" He asked suddenly.
"Hmm?"
"I...wanna apologize for what I told you before I was captured. About you being insecure and damaged. I didn't mean it. Truth it.....I was scared of losing the person I love. I'm sorry. When the....thing happens, I promise, I'll be right by your side. I love you, Emilee Grayson." I smiled, touched by his words.
"And I love you too, Raphael Hamato." And then, Raph kissed me for the first time in four months. And that was the sweetest moment of my life.
