Love Magic: Two Different Hearts

Chapter 17: Grandma

Glen's POV

We went straight home after that. I immediately went to my room after dinner and Ace is still not

convinced about me fighting with Tobios.

(Tsk he still doubts my skills. He thinks I can't fight that guy wait till he hears the news tomorrow) I

thought while laying on my bed.

He didn't tell our parents and I am very thankful for that since if my parents knew that I fought with

someone and especially that it was an elemental then I guess they-- especially mom will explode.

I might be punished or worst grounded and I really don't want that to happen. I like to believe the idea

that my brother was helping me not to get in trouble but life is unfair since the main reason that he

didn't told them was because he doesn't believe it.

He kept on insisting that I'm trying to joke around and he thinks that I already lose my mind making me

really lose my mind and want jump and punch that bastard until he believes it. But I calmed myself and

just watch him laugh as he enters his room.

"Damn you Ace, I will really make you eat your words once the issue will spread at school" I said while

looking at the ceiling.

I was in my room trying to calm myself by ranting whatever is in my mind while glaring at the ceiling.

When I was about to shout in frustration while covering my face with a pillow to lessen the loudness, a

soft knock echoed throughout my room making me stop myself from what I'm about to do.

Knock knock the soft sound was repeated again and I look at the room.

I look at my door and stare at it in confusion before glancing at my watch and look at the time.

(Who is knocking at this time already, I thought everyone should be in their room and probably asleep

now or maybe I'm just hallucinating) I thought that maybe I'm just dreaming and it was just an

imagination but I heard another knock sound again.

Knock knock it sounded and I. Suddenly realize what

"Who is it?" I asked still staring at the door.

(Still safety is needed. You don't know maybe it’s a thief but who would even try to steal from us) I

immediately hold my weapon and slowly went near the door.

"Uhmm.... I said who is it" I said while slowly going close to the door.

"It's your grandma, Glen. Can you open the door" she said and I sigh in relief while putting my sword

down.

And it turned back to its original state before I put it back on my pocket.

(Damn I thought it is a thief or something) I thought while I release a deep sigh.

"Grandma" I repeated again maybe I heard it wrong and just to be sure.

"Yes, it is me, now open the door kid" she whisper slowly and I know that tone.

(I guess she's trying not to wake anyone in the house except me at the same time she's getting

annoyed already)

I chuckle softly before slowly opening the door and it revealed my loving grandma holding something in

her hands while I smile at her.

"Yes grandma do you need anything?" I slowly asked while looking at her in question.

"Oh I just have something to tell to you" she said looking at me.

I can see her wrinkles already getting harsher each passing day. She is also walking slower each

passing day.

Over all she's already getting older each passing day.

(I hope that she will have a longer life)

"Are you going to continue staring at me or you'll let me in and enter your room" she snorted making

me blink my eyes and look at her.

"Oh sorry grandma. Please come in" I said apologetically ushering her inside my room.

(She still has her manners. Oh yeah, she's the one who taught me to have manners but I also learned

from her to be sassy and joke around)

She scoffs and I slowly give her a way and she went inside my room. She scanned my room first then

nods in satisfaction.

"Looking for something grandma?" I asked while looking at her.

"Good it's clean not like your brother's room, it's so messy" she said shaking her head in

disappointment.

"You never knew what is living there if it's a pig or what" she complains in disgust while standing.

I sighed and look at her I amusement making me try to picturing her reaction in my head when she

entered my brother's room. I bet she was screaming and scolding him that a room should be clean all

the time.

(She always wants everything to be clean, arranged and in order. She despises a messy and dirty

place just like my brother's room)

She went to the side of my bed before using her powers and created a chair that could hold her.

(She's a caster just like Kaylee by the way if you may ask....)

"Can't you also use that to try and make your face younger" I snorted and she glared at me.

"I'm no longer in my youths so stop shoving it on my face" she bickers and I just laugh at her.

"Come on try it. Maybe it might work" I joked and she eyed me and then scoffs.

"If it worked, I already have done it years ago. Heck I might be younger than you and more… sexier"

she said and I chuckle at her.

"Tsk.... well it didn't happen so--"

"Enough" she said and I chuckle at her.

(I always tease her about that and she always try to scold me and say that I she had that magic she'll

be the most beautiful creature that you will see. But that will never happen.... hahahah)

She then slowly sits down and I immediately went near her and helped her sit down.

(What does she want to tell me this late at night? Is it something urgent that she needs to tell me now?)

I thought while going a little bit farther from her.

Then I jump on my bed and did an Indian sit as I face her. He also made herself comfortable as she

looks at me before taking out what she is holding.

And when she takes it out, I was surprised and sigh before I stare at my grandma as she looks at the

book she was holding.

(A book, is she going to read me a story wait the book is familiar) I smile before looking at her.

"Grandma are you going to tell me a story" I said chuckling while looking at the book she was holding.

(Back when I was still a little kid every night my grandparents always come to my room late at night and

tells me a story. I can always remember that I always look forward every time they come and stay in my

room for the night)

She just looks at me and smile.

"Nope I'm just going to give you this book now" she said making me crunch my face.

"Why would you give me this book, isn't it your favorite one?" I said confused while staring at the book

that she's holding.

"Yup it's mine but now it's yours" she said handling me the book.

But I pushed it back to her making her look at me. She looks confused and shocked at the same time.

"You know that I can't take this book grandma" I said in confusion.

"But you love this book" she told me in disappointment so I smiled at her.

"Grandma yes I do but I still have my little sister, and I want you to read this book to her" I said happily

and honestly.

But she shrugs her head making me look confused and in question. My happy smile faltered when I

look at her sad and dejected look making me look at her in worry.

"Why what's wrong grandma?" I said while standing up and went near her.

"Your little sister doesn't want stories like this Glen--" she said in disappointment while looking down at

the floor.

"How can she not like your stories. Your stories are the best" I boost and chuckle remembering those

stories.

She chuckles before looking at me before giving me a sad look again making me sigh and look at her

in worry.

"She likes other stories according to her and this one is too old for her to be curious about. She needs

recent facts she says making me look at your sister in disbelief"

"Is she really a kid or what" she ranted and complain making me look at her in surprise and I was

speechless.

(Wait.... I think I didn't get everything and did I hear it right) I slowly blink and snap out of my trance

before I look at her.

"We'll I never expected that" I said when I have regained my voice again.

"I hope they would say the same but they're not and never will" she said looking disappointed.

"What do you mean they?" I asked in confusion.

She raises her head and my heart ached as I look at her expression, she's depressed and I can see

that.

"Of course, you’re not the only one whom I read those stories. I've read it to all of my grandkids but-"

she stops and look away again.

That got me curious so I look at her motioning her to keep on.

"But what grandma..." I asked her making her look at me in sadness.

"But you’re the only one who wanted to hear it the most and finish all the stories that I have. Most of

them just jump to sleep or don't want to listen to it" she said in disappointment.

My heart aches while seeing my grandma's sad face which also made me sad too.

(Did they really do that? Grandma is already old and easy to be hurt. Can't they just pretend that they

are happy when she tells them stories) I thought while looking away.

I went near her and hug her tightly not letting her go and when I can feel her tapping my shoulder then I

let go of her.

"Come on do you want to choke me to death" she snorted making me roll my eyes.

"Come on I'm trying to comfort you here grandma" I said while getting off her.

She just smirks widely before raising her shoulders.

"Are you really sure in giving me this book because there's no turning back once I took it" I explained

while looking at her in the eye.

(So the truth guys is I really want this take this damn book since the stories where so good that I want

to read it over and over again because these stories where never in the library. I love reading stories so

when I always went to library, I always asked the librarian for the location of the stories and so far, I

haven't read one book that contains these stories)

"Okay then I'll take this book and read it over and over again. No more backing on your words" I said

and took the book in her hands excitedly and she smiled.

"I know you would be excited since you're the only one who wants to take it" she said and I laugh at

her.

"Maybe you forced them to listen to your stories" I said and she tries to pull the book so I immediately

grab it.

"Oh come on grandma I'm just joking no need to feel angry beside you already told me that It's mine

already. Don't take back your words" I said eyeing her and she let the book go and I didn't waste any

second and took it and scoot away from her.

(You never know she might change her mind and take it back. I always wanted to have this book ever

since. Back then I remember that I searched the whole house to find the book when they went out only

to be disappointed at the end since grandma really made a joke on me, he practically hid the book in

my room. She already saw through my plans of searching the house for that book, so he hid it in my

room since she knows that I won't search there and she was fucking damn right)

"Damn I really want to destroy my fucking room back then" I mumble in annoyance while looking at the

book.

"You're fucking mine now" I said as I grip unto it not wanting it to fly away.

I flashed her my sincere and overwhelming smile at grandma that I don't usually show to lots of people

before I put the book in my chest and hug it.

"Promise I'll took good care of it" I said and she smiled then went to hug me before giving me a kiss in

my forehead making me chuckle.

"That's what I like about you" she said and I look at her confused.

"You always wear a happy smile despite of everything that has happened" my heart melted and I hold

her hands.

"And I will also tell you that you are the best grandparents I ever had. You and grandpa even though he

might not be usually visiting me here" I said smiling at her.

She touches my face and give me a teary-eyed face.

"Oh geez grandma don't cry you'll grow old immediately" I joke while wiping her eyes.

She chuckles making me chuckle too.

(I really love my grandparents so much it is hard to be away from them) I thought to myself while

looking at her.

"I wish grandpa could come and visit us here" I said in disappointment.

My grandma looks at me with a sad face and then gives me a hug. I smiled at the gesture she did.

"You already know that he needs to stay there for his health and he also miss all of you too especially

you" she said making me chuckle. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"You know that man. Every time I go home he always ask me to tell him about you first then the rest"

she said and I chuckle.

"Of course, I'm his favorite" I boost but took it back.

"Joke we're all his favorite grandkids so tell him that he still has many grandkids don't just focus on me"

I said in a joking manner but actually I'm telling the truth.

(He was so overprotective to me because when they found out I don't have any power like my family

does. They immediately told my parents that they would keep me safe with them. My grandparents

tried all their best to convince both of my parents since they were both against it but they agreed at the

end according to grandma)

I look at the picture next to my night stand and sigh. It was a picture of my family with our grandparents

that was taken when my family went to visit us at the country side.

And also, that's the first time grandpa taught me how to use that sword until now.

"Grandma could you tell me a story" I asked and she look at me smiling.

"What story would you prefer" she asked and while I went inside my blanket and she tucked me in.

"The story where that person appeared and save the students" I said and she smiles.

"You always love that story. Okay then let's start. Long time ago...." she starts making me smile again.
