Oh hey. So, this chapter is pretty short and I'm sorry. It's also not that good. I didn't realize that that many people liked this story, so I basically gave up on it a long time ago. I promise it will get better, I just need a little while to think about the plot and stuff. Thanks for reading:)
"Jade!" I exclaimed with wide eyes, "What the FUCK!?"
"Leave me alone Tori" she said through gritted teeth. I ran over to the medicine cabinet to get the first aid kit and grabbed a washcloth on the way. I sat down beside her and placed the washcloth on her wrist.
"Jade, what is going on? Why would you do this to yourself?" I asked, trying to make eye contact. I looked back down at her arm. I hadn't noticed at first, but there were many more, older cuts and scars all over her arm.
"I said leave me alone Tori." she said my name in a harsh sarcastic tone.
"No Jade." I said, a tear escaping down my cheek. "Obviously you need some help."
"I don't need you Vega." She said wiping away her tears.
"Then tell me this Jade. Why are you here? Why did you want to come over and why have you been acting weird?" I asked getting frustrated.
She stayed silent as I cleaned her arm and hand off and wrapped it up. When I was done I pulled her sleeve down for her and held her arm.
On a whim, amid all those crazy emotions and thoughts rushing through my head, I kissed her injured arm. Immediately after when I realized what I had just done, I looked up with wide eyes.
She only continued to stare at the ground, her eyes still puffy and red and make up smudged.
I stood up and took her right hand. "Come on. Let's go to bed Jade."
She slowly stood up with my help and followed me down the hall to my room. I cleared off my bed and got in, patting the spot next to me.
Jade trudged over and climbed in, facing away from me. I sighed and rubbed her back.
I needed to know what was wrong. Obviously she had come to me for some reason. Something was wrong, but she won't tell me. Not anytime soon anyways.
Thoughts raced through my mind as exhaustion took over and I fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up to sunlight shining directly in my eyes. Squinting, I pulled back the covers and went to close my blinds. After tripping on my boot, I made my way over to the window and grasped for the cord. My hand found it and I enlaced the white string in my fingers and pulled down. The blinds quickly and harshly zipped down and I turn to see if I had awoken Jade.
She was facing the window, and me, but was still sleeping, her face the most relaxed I had ever seen it. She was, to put it simply, beautiful. Even with her makeup smudged from the late night tears, and her eyes still slightly puffy, she was without a doubt flawless.
When I was done observing, I silently made my way to the bathroom to take a quick shower. After I had gotten undressed, in the shower, and started washing my hair, I heard the bathroom door creak open. I hesitated, then cracked the curtain open a bit. Jade was trying to quietly close the door behind her.
"Jade?" I asked after I had closed the shower curtain again.
"I just need to pee Vega." She replied.
"Oh, okay. That's fine." I said slightly wary. Jade didn't seem to be very shy, and she certainly did not care about making other people uncomfortable.
When she was done she washed her hands and simply walked out, closing the door behind her.
I tried to hurry so she wouldn't leave. I quickly finished washing and dried myself and then threw some clothes on. She wasn't in my room, so I ran down to the living room.
She was sitting on the couch flipping through channels on the TV. I walked to the kitchen and could hear SpongeBob coming from the other room. I never would have pegged her to be a SpongeBob fan, but Jade is full of surprises.
I set to work making breakfast. If I wanted her to tell me what was going on, I would have to make her happy, do everything right.
There ya go. Sorry for the shortness and crappy quality of writing. Review? Suggestions on the plot? Anything would be appreciated:)
