Seventeen

It had been three days since their arrival at Bruce’s isolated house resting in the heart of the mountains. However, the view from Mandy’s window showed a small city below, not too far off. It was half past twelve in the afternoon, but one wouldn’t know it due to the overcast skies and the pouring rain. Mandy had always adored the rain, and as a result, she tried to get into it as much as possible. It really didn’t rain all that much in Los Angeles. Maybe with this impending war, weather cycles would change. Maybe that was why it was raining so hard right now. Maybe angels and demons, when coming together on earth for a violent purpose, could change the weather.

The thought wasn’t as comforting as she had originally believed it to be, and as a result, she let a sigh slip out of her nose.

Mandy was currently in her room, dressed in sweatpants and an oversized sweater. She was lounging in a comfortable armchair that she had moved so it was practically against the window so she could look out and watch the rain fall. Her forehead was caressing the glass, and the coolness of the glass seemed to relax her body. She still had yet to hear just why she was so important in this war, just why she seemed to be the only solution to it. Nobody had offered her the information, and she didn’t ask. If they were going to tell her, they would tell. But even she knew that her patience was running out of steam, especially when she would walk in on Paul, Bruce, and Kelly having hushed conversations that would abruptly end when they noticed her. It was aggravating and annoying and she felt as though she was being left out of something important.

She would never admit it, of course, but she felt most slighted by Paul himself.

When Mandy and Paul had engaged in intimate behavior, she knew not to expect anything to come from it. Having a relationship right now might be too complicated for both of them, but that didn’t stop her from feeling attracted to him. If she could control herself, it would be completely different; she wouldn’t chase her thoughts in circles wondering about things she shouldn’t be focusing on. But she couldn’t stop her stomach from attaining butterflies whenever he smiled softly at her, couldn’t stop her heart from practically jumping out of her chest whenever he accidentally or purposefully touched, couldn’t stop her ears from feeling tickled whenever she heard him speak, couldn’t stop her nose from twitching when he smiled. Whether Mandy realized it or not, she really did like Paul. Maybe she was on the brink of falling in love with him. She didn’t know. But they hadn’t reengaged their physical attraction yet, not since that first time.

And now would be the absolute perfect time to do so. Since Mandy knew nothing except what she was told, her imagination filled in the blanks, and Mandy’s imagination had never been up to par with reality.
