Chapter 9

"Hey kid, are you alright to finish up in here?" I heard my brother ask as I walked down the dim hall.

"Yeah Kyle, I'm fine, just need to pack away a few more boxes and I'll be done. Go back to Sunny." I heard another familiar voice and began to speed up my walking. When I got to the opening Kyle was making his way out, once he caught sight of me a smile lit his face. Looking off to the side of him I saw Jamie, totally oblivious to my arrival stacking a box full of shampoos.

"Hey Jean, what are you doing down here." Hearing my name Jamie's head noticeably perked up and than turned my way, brown eyes locking with blue.

"I heard your voices, thought I'd come say hey." Jamie gave me a tired look before continuing on packing, I won't lie that hurt a bit.

"Well its nice to see you too, but I've got to get back to Sunny. I'll see you at dinner." With that he ruffled my hair like he use to when I was younger and made his way down to the plaza.

Once he left there was awkward silence that filled the air, I just stood there as Jamie ignored me and continued to pack the box.

"You're mad at me aren't you?" I asked and he laughed, no humor in it what so ever. He didn't even look up at me as he spoke.

"Oh how the tables have turned."

"Well can you atleast tell me why?" I tucked my hands into my jean pockets and took a couple of steps closer. I watched as he took a look at my beat up chuck taylors and as his eyes ran up my faded blue jeans, going pass my white tunic and stopping on my face.

"Fuck." My eyes widened at hearing him swear, it was the first time and it just seemed so strange coming out of his mouth. He stood up quickly stumbling slighty, his hand ran through his hair and he let out a frustrated sigh. "Why can't you just let me stay mad at you."

"Because I don't like it when you're mad at me and you've ignored me all yesterday and most of today and I don't know why."

"Maybe because you made me feel like shit on wednesday." His voice sounded so sad and in return made me feel horrible, maybe that was his goal. He finished stacking the last boxed and pushed it to the side before he pushed his way past me and walked out into the hallway. I ran after him and in a attemp to stop him, grabbed his shoulder, he turned to me slowly raised his eyebrow asking me what I want.

"I'm sorry Jamie, its just, we're not being to careful about this...Lily nearly caught us that one time and Heidi knows-" I wasn't able to continue as Jamies voice cut in.

"Wait Heidi knows? How does Heidi know?" Shit, I ran my hand over my face and nervously bit my lip.

"I might have accidently told her when she guessed." I closed my eyes waiting for anger but Jamie didn't get mad like he thought I would.

"How'd she guess?" He asked curiously.

"Wait, what? Aren't you mad." I raised and eyebrow confused.

"No...Jean, you're the one who wants to keep this secret, not me. If it was really up to me I'd be yelling 'I love Jean O'Shea' from the rooftops. Well not literally but maybe from a top of a table or...something..." His eyes widened at what he realised he just said. "Jean look-"

Before he could finish his sentence I crashed my lips against his, he caught on soon enough and I put what felt like everything he felt into that kiss. Jamie's hand made its way down my sides before stopping on my hips and holding me against him. He tore his lips from mine and I let out a loud whimper not wanting to part with them just yet, but instead of moving away, Jamie pushed me against the wall and pressed his forehead against mine, his eyes still closed.

"Whos stupid idea was it to stop kissing for a week." He breathed and I couldn't help but smile.

"I believe it was my stupid idea." He chuckled and pecked my lips lightly.

"Have you learnt your lesson." He asked in a very sensiable voice and I giggled, which isn't something I usually do but we both ignored that fact.

"Definately." Then his lips were on mine again and I moaned into his mouth, as I was reminded how much I loved kissing Jamie. I kissed him deeper only to have him return it with the same amount of passion. I wanting to touch him everywhere and for once I didn't doubt myself and just went with the flow. My hands slipped under the hem of his shirt and at that moment I realised how good the muscles in his back felt.

His hand pressed against the wall next to my head as the other ran down my thigh hooking behind my knee. He pulled my thigh to his hip, bringing me closer than before and everything was going so great until...

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?" I reconised Ian's voice immediately and Jamie was off me in a second. I opened my eyes to see him standing infront of me, both hands in the air like he had a gun pulled on him.

"Nothing." I tried not to laugh, everyone knew and I certainly knew, we weren't doing not doing anything.

"Looks like a hell of a lot more than nothing! You son of a bitch." I cringed at Ian's words, it was exactly what I predicated to happen.

"Who the hell Are you to call my brother a son of a bitch! I'm sure your sister had something to do with it, if you completely missed her hands moving up his shirt." Melanie shouted at Ian in Jamie's defense, suddenly she turn to me I thanked the lord looks could not kill. "Planning on stealing my little brother's innocence weren't you, you sl.."

"Don't you dare call my sister a slut. Your pervert of a brother had his hands all over her" Ian came right up to her face and yelled. I turned to Jamie and saw that he looked just as mortified as I felt. Wanda slowly tip toeing her way around Ian and Melanie as they continued to yell profanities at one another and stood infront of us.

"You two, you like each other, obviously. All we're worried about is that, there's a lot of responsibility in a relationship and if you two break up this can become a very small cave. How much do you like each other?" I went to open myself and speak but Jamie had beat me to it.

"Well, I had pretty much told you I loved you." He told me grabbing a tight hold onto my hand, I smiled at him and just came right out and said it.

"I love you too." At my words suddenly the yelling in the background stopped and both Melanie and Ian turned towards us.

"You WHAT?" they yelled in unison.

"They love each other. So that's settled. Can we live with it? Give them the sex talk and leave it at that?" I blushed and looked in the corner of my eye to see colour on Jamie's cheeks also.

"No." Ian said simply with a frown on his face.

"Yeah, I guess." Melanie said at the same time with a shrug, maybe Heidi was wrong, maybe she wasn't worse than my brothers.

I thought it was all settled and grinned at Jamie who returned it with that smile of his I love, but knowing Ian he had to ruin it.

"You can NOT TOUCH MY SISTER! I will literally lock you in a cave or give you up to a Seeker if you come in a ten mile radius of her, I swear to God." I could tell he was fuming, I could also tell there was slight fear in Jamie's eyes.

"Ian, you over exaggerating, its not like they were doing jello shots and licking chocolate of one another" Melanie shook her head at my brother and my eyes widened and suddenly the floor become very interesting. To my side I heard Jamie mutter a quiet "Oh god."

"I'm not over exaggerating." Ian huffed and crossed his arms like a child, Wanda wrapped her arms around his waist and smiled sweetly making Ian noticeably relax.

"Yes you are. It's just young, over affectionate love, Jared and Mel were just the same." Ian's eyes widened again and he looked at me and Jamie, then at Melanie and finally back to Wanda, horrified.

"FUCK THAT, I don't want my sister doing what MEL DOES!"

"Watch your mouth, you're being really offensive." Wanda scolded him, frowning. It didn't look right on her face.

"Sorry." He mumbled and Jamie squeesed my hand.

"I'll agree maybe that was a bad example." Melanie gaped but Wanda didn't see it. "We were like that weren't we." I cringed at the thought of Wanda and my brother like...that.

"...I guess." Ian hesitantly agreed.

"All you cared about was protecting me remember? You never hurt me, Jamie would never hurt Jean." Wanda then turned her head to Jamie and smiled. "Would you?" I looked at Jamie to see him frowning at me and he shook his head.

"Never."

"There Ian, now calm down."

"God Ian" I spoke up. "I can't believe you called my boyfriend a son of a bitch, you're married to a soul and I'm the one the one getting yelled at." I winked at Wanda to let her know I'm joking and she just laughed her musical laugh in response.

Jamie and I walked to my room in silence, it wasn't awkward but we were just to shocked to speak . We didn't speak a word until the door was shut and we were both sitting on the edge of the bed.

"That was...um...interesting, scary but interesting." Jamie said slowly.

"I'll agree on the scary, I thought your sister was about to bite my head off."

"Come on she wasn't that bad." He chuckled and I joined in.

"I know, she came right in the end." I turned to him and smiled sadly. "I'm sorry about my brother." I put my hand over his and grasped it tightly.

"Its fine, he was only protecting you." He looked at the roof for a moment and I watched a grin form on his face. "I'm sorry my sister called you a slut." I smacked him on the arm.

"Thats not funny." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into his side.

"I know, I'm sorry. Its probably because shes hormonal from the pregnancy." He kissed the top of my messy black hair and then rested his chin on my head.

"I wish I could use the same excuse for my brother's behavior." I told him.

"Um, really?" Jamie asked and I laughed.

"No but I wish I had an excuse."

"They're all crazy not to have seen this coming." Jamie said quietly and I knitted my eyebrows together in confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Jean it was obvious I would have fallen for you." He told me and I didn't reply so he continued. "I mean when I first saw you, wow." I blushed and bit my lip. "You were so fucking beautiful, fuck sorry, shit...I'm sorry." I giggled, again, happily as he stumbled over his words. "I mean I know they ain't much girls around here, I know you are though...I mean I never had that reaction to anyone before and then when I got to know you, you were just so, nice and funny and different and just so...beautiful. I think I loved you the moment you the moment you beat me in soccer." He laughed slightly and I turned my head to kiss his chin, locking eyes with him. I began to tear up and mentally cursed at myself for being stupid.

"You know, I've lost most of my family and all of my friends" I sniffed and wiped my eyes. "And It hurts, but if none of this happened Jamie, I would probably have never met you and that kills me to much to even think about." After I told him that he pulled my into his lap and held me as I cried.

"So when someone is in love, well not always- no wait yes! When someone is in love, they will get these...urges to express they're feelings...physically with one another, do you understand?" Ian began.

"Oh. My. Dear. Lord."
