Chapter 10 is up! Finally! Sorry about the wait, my internet was down and I just got it back yesterday. Anyway, thank you to The Fire Ninja for giving me the idea for this chapter :)
Julia's P.O.V.
When I broke up with Cole, it felt really weird. Usually, when a guy goes out with me for a reason like this, I get angry, but this time, I felt... relieved. Why do i feel like this?! I thought. Maybe I just need to go for a run...
I stormed into my room and locked the door. Changing into black shorts, a grey sweatshirt, and my pink and blue running shoes, I grabbed my Ipod and jumped out the window and into the night (good thing it was on the first floor, right?).
Since my Ipod was set to my running playlist, the song "Thunder" by Boys Like Girls started playing. I ran through the streets of Ninjago, lost in the music. Why was I so happy to break up with Cole? I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I accidentally ran someone over.
It was Kevin.
My heart literally skipped a beat. Picking myself up, I began to stutter an apology. But just at that moment, these lyrics played in my head:
Your voice is the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder...
And - stupid me - I looked into Kevin's eyes.
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another.
You'll always be my thunder...
Then, I realized why I was relieved to break up with Cole: I loved Kevin again. Now that I knew that he didn't really cheat on me, I wanted him back.
Before I could change my mind, I put my Ipod away. A tear ran down my cheek as I said "I'm sorry" again. Only this time, it wasn't for running him over about a minute ago. "I should've let you explain."
And he answered with a kiss.
Kai's P.O.V.
After getting home that night, I stormed into the basement instead of murdering Cole. I browsed the equipment for the biggest punching bag we owned and proceeded in punching the shit out of it.
What the fuck is wrong with that mother fucking son of a bitch?! I thought, fueling my anger. I just told Cole that morning that I was falling in love with Julia, and he decides to fucking make out with her! Yeah, he's a great brother all right. I'll kick his ass if he pulls shit like that again...
Once I had literally punched the stuffing out of the punching bag, I collapsed into a ball on the floor in tears. Why Cole? I've known her longer, I know her better... Have I not been obvious enough? I come into her room every night! Maybe I should've asked her out sooner... Or maybe I can kill Cole and then maybe she'll realize she loves me or something...
I stopped my thoughts right there. Even if I'm mad at Cole, I realized that I should respect her decision. Be happy that she's happy. With that in mind, I wiped away my tears and walked back upstairs.
Cole's P.O.V.
What the hell just happened?! I never had a girl break up with me like this before. Usually, she caught me with another girl, and then I lost both girls. That hasn't happened in weeks though. Actually, I think what's-her-name was just having PMS or something. She'll come crawling on back soon... At least I hope she does...
Wait a sec. What did I just say?! I don't really want her to want me back... Do I? WHY AM I QUESTIONING THIS?! I DON'T HAVE FEELINGS FOR JULIA!
Crap. I know her name. I never remember any girl's name. FML.
Kai walked into the room, interrupting my thoughts. Wait - doesn't he like her? (insert evil laugh) Let's change that...
"Hey, Kai," I said.
"Hey, Cole. What's up?"
I let out a fake sigh. "Julia broke up with me."
"Really? What happened?" By looking in his eyes, I could tell he was happy that she was single, yet upset for me.
"All I did is tell her I love her, but she said she wasn't interested in that. If you know what I mean. She wanted to be... friends with benefits. At most. Ya know? No emotional bond whatsoever."
Unlike the reaction I was hoping for, Kai just looked angry. "Stop lying, Cole. What did you do to her that made her break up with you that quick?"
HE'S ON TO ME! "What are you talking about? That's exactly what happened!"
Kai rolled his eyes and walked away. Fuck. I should probably go get her back before he asks her out... What am I saying?! Ugh, I don't wanna deal with this right now... I started playing video games to help me keep my mind off my emotions.
Zane's P.O.V.
I invited Amanda back to the house that night. Being around her just made me... happy. It was as if I could not live without her. Tonight, I decided that I was going to tell her that I loved her.
We sat on my bed, side by side, holding each other's hands. Looking into her eyes, I let the words I had been longing to say out from my lips. "I love you." Amanda dropped my hands and looked down. "Are you alright?" I asked.
She sighed. "Yeah, um, it's just... I have to go..." And with that, she left the room, leaving me with a broken heart.
Amanda's P.O.V.
I didn't realize Lloyd was following me until I was half way down the street. "AMANDA!"
"What do you want?" I said, feeling the tears in my eyes.
"Why are you crying? Did you and Zane break up?"
I shook my head. "Do you really wanna know?" When he nodded, I took a deep breath and continued. "Zane told me he loves me, but I can't say it back because every boy who has told me they loved me and I loved them back broke my heart and I don't want that to happen with me and Zane."
"So why not just tell Zane that? He'll understand."
"No, he won't."
"Yes he will. Just because he's a nindroid doesn't mean he doesn't understand emotions. Why else would he love you?" I thought about this. He was right. I should just tell Zane the truth.
"You're right. I should go apologize for running out like that. Thanks, Lloyd."
"You're welcome." I gave him a quick hug before he was tackled my someone.
Lord Garmadon's P.O.V.
I saw that bitch Julia in the street with some dude, probably that red ninja, since he had a red sweatshirt on. "Ok, Skales. Do your thing." Time to get rid of them once and for all.
"Yes, Lord Garmadon." Skales put a brick on the gas pedal of a car so it could drive down the street at full speed to run them over. Suddenly, the two figures in the street hugged, and I noticed that the blonde girl wasn't Julia. And when she accidentally knocked off the boy's hood, I saw the identity of the boy I was about to kill.
"Lloyd! NOOOO!" I dove into the street, saving my son from death, but instead knocking him unconscious. He wasn't bleeding anywhere, and his pulse seemed fine, so I picked him up and turned around to see that girl get hit by the car, and the car flipped over, destroying itself on the pavement. Oh well.
"Come, Skales. Back to the ship."
Julia's P.O.V.
Kevin walked me home. Being with him felt like we had never broken up in the first place. After turning onto my street, we saw a flipped over car and a bloody person on the ground. Together, we ran over to see who it was. My face went pale when I saw my best friend, trying to stay conscious instead of succumbing to death.
"Kevin," I said, trying to stay calm. "Run to the house and get the guys over here." Without question, he sprinted for the house.
"Amanda? Can you hear me?" I asked my dying friend with tears in my eyes.
"Yes," she mumbled, barely audible.
"Just hang on, okay? The guys will be here soon, they'll save you."
"No, don't waste your time. Just tell Zane I'm sorry and I love him..."
"No! You're going to live! Don't give up! Please..." Her eyelids started to close when Zane came running over with a box. "Where are the others?" I asked him. He ignored me, and began to work on Amanda. Whatever he was doing, it looked like he was saving her life.
Soon, everyone else - including Sensei Wu - had come outside to watch Zane. Kevin held me in his arms, whispering reassuring words in my ear as I tried to stop crying.
After Zane's work was complete, he and Kai carried her into the house and put her in Zane's bed.
"Is she going to be okay?" I asked.
"I hope so..." Zane replied, and I think I actually saw a tear in his eye.
Amanda's P.O.V.
The next thing I knew, I was back in Zane's room in his bed. Zane was sitting in a chair next to me, sleeping while holding my hand. He looked so cute when he slept, but I had to wake him up.
His head snapped up and looked at me in shock. Before he could say anything, I had something to say to him. "I love you, Zane."
He smiled. "I love you too, Amanda."
"How did I survive that car accident?" He looked away from me for a second.
"I... made you... part android." It took a second for his words to sink in, then threw my arms around him.
"Thank you for saving me."
Suddenly, Kai burst into the room. "Have you guys seen Lloyd?"
Cliffhanger! What has Garmadon done with Lloyd? How will Amanda adjust to being like Zane? Find out next time!
