Chapter 11
Jen’s point of view
“I th…think I’ll need….need that glass of …..water now….”
Nick stuttered, falling backwards onto the chair.
AJ: *snicker*
I picked up the glass and handed it to him and he emptied
it in one go.
“But…. But you look human!!” he stated, still in a shocked
state.
AJ: No shit, Sherlock.
“Oh, this is just an illusion,” she claimed. “I really look
like Tohja, but one of us has to bring money in. And I can’t go out looking
like Tohja, now can I?”
Nick just looked at me blankly again. I didn’t blame him
for being in shock. He’d just found out he’d been dating an alien.
Brian: Oh, he’s not in shock.
He always has that blank look.
Nick: Hey!
“I’m sorry! I should have told you!” I apologised hugging
him comfortingly.
AJ: *as Nick* Ahh, get off
me, you… you extraterrestrial FREAK!
He just sat there staring into space.
Brian: Again, nothing unusual for Nick.
Nick: … Hey!
“Why does ‘Roswell High’ come to mind?” he asked in a
monotone voice.
I laughed lightly and kissed him.
AJ: *as Nick again* Hey,
didn’t I say to get off me, you alien ho!
After sitting with his own thoughts for a few hours, he got
up to leave. I let him go, knowing he’d need even more time to think.
After a couple of days, Nick had pretty much gotten over
the fact I was an alien, as well as Tohja being my brother.
Howie: Ahh, back to normal.
AJ: Yup. Nick’s dating an
alien – nothing weird about that.
But he still seemed tense. Luckily, he was taking it well
and didn’t tell any of the other guys.
Brian: Aww, Frack, you didn’t tell us? I’m hurt!
He long since figured out for himself that it was me who
healed him last year at the hospital. I had to explain to him that some
Kindorians have psychic ‘gifts’. Tohja still hadn’t figured out how to use his
powers yet.
Everything seemed fine……. Until one day I got a message
……….
…….And it wasn’t good news.
Howie: Oooh, suspense!
Nick’s point of view
Rehearsals had just finished, when an unexpected knock came
at the door of the studio. Kevin went to answer it.
“Hey, Jen!” he greeted. “Is everything OK?”
“Is Nick here? I need to talk to him,” she replied.
I stood up, “What is it Jen?”
“Can we talk alone?” she asked. “This is private.”
“OK,” I answered, leading her back outside. “So, what’s so
important?”
“You know all these
UFO sightings? Well, they aren’t hoaxes. They’re my people! They left this note
at my place,” she explained, handing me a piece of paper with completely alien
symbols on it. I frowned at her.
Brian: No, no, Nick, those aren’t alien symbols. They’re called LET-TERS. They go together to make WORDS. Isn’t that neat?
She sighed, “It says they aren’t happy with me becoming too
involved. They want me to go home and if I don’t agree they’ll force me to!”
AJ: Whoa, is that a threat?
“What?!” I exclaimed. “So, you’re gonna just leave?!”
“No, I want to try and talk them out of this, but I’ll have
to leave for a while to do that. Tohja said he’d stay behind and try and
protect you and the guys!” she stated.
Kevin: Protect us? Why do
we need protecting?
AJ: Cause Jen’s got one PO’d boyfriend at home, and he’s coming to
kick Nick’s ass. *snickers*
I gave her the note back, and paused for a second, “When
will I see you again?”
“I don’t know, but I’ll try and get back as soon as I can.
I’m not very good at goodbyes…… so I’d better just go.”
She kissed me and left without a word. I felt like crying,
knowing this was maybe the last time I would see her, possibly forever.
AJ: *sniff* Aww… poor little Nicky.
AJ’s point of view
This was way too weird. Standing with my back to the wall,
I tried to get my head around what I had heard while eavesdropping on Jen and
Nick. Jen was an alien? And the UFO’s were real? And who the hell was Tohja?
AJ: *bursts out laughing*
Way to make sure the coast is clear before you go talking about that
shit, Nick.
I heard Nick coming back, so I ran back to the other guys,
still in shock. I quickly sat on my chair as Nick came through the door.
He was clearly crying and Brian went over to see him.
“What’s up man?” he asked. “What’d she say?”
“She’s leaving, and might not be coming back!” he sobbed.
Nick: Hey… why does she make me look like such a pansy?
Kevin looked to me and to a teary-eyed Nick suspiciously.
“AJ, what’s with your face?” he narrowed his eyes
thoughtfully. “Were you eavesdropping on them?”
All heads turned towards me. I knew it was no use trying to
lie to them.
I sighed, “Yeah……”
Brian: *in fatherly voice*
Eavesdropping is wrong, Alexander.
I’ve very disappointed in you.
“THAT WAS A PRIVATE CONVERSATION, YOU SON OF A………”
Brian: Gun.
AJ: Buck.
Brian: *laughs*
“Calm down, Nick!” Brian shouted, grabbing Nick’s arm and
pushing him into the chair.
AJ: *as Nick* Owwie! Don’t
push me, you meanie!
Nick wiped his eyes and shot me a hate-filled glare.
AJ: Oooh, I’m scared now.
Watch out, Nicky’s pissed!
He then proceeded to tell us all about Jen, Tohja and these
aliens.
And his story was so elaborate and complex, we all knew he
couldn’t have made it up.
Brian: *bursts out laughing*
No, obviously not. It’s way too
elaborate and complex for Nick’s level of intelligence.
Nick: Hey!
