I'm baaaaaaaaack! See, didn't leave you on a cliffy that long!
I found myself holding my breath as Dad finished the last layer. He threw it in the trash can next to him and went over to the sink to wash his hands.
We watched Jack as if he was a little bird hatching from an egg. He blinked a couple times before surverying the area with his new eyes.
"Well, Jackson?" Dad came back from behind me. "Tell me what you see and if your vision is clear enough or not."
He looked from Jerry to Milton, Milton to Eddie, and Eddie to Rudy. Rudy waved a little and Jack smiled at him. He then examined the girls who also waved. Nobody spoke a word, nobody knew what to say.
Jack's new eyes finally rested on me. They widen a bit as he took in everything he could about me. His eyes then soften as he spoke for the first time, "Kim, you're just so... beautiful."
I got possessed again! I jumped into him and crushed him into a bear hug. My Jack can finally see. He can finally see everything. He's finally... normal. Normal and healthy.
I felt his arms wrapped themselves around me and pulled me in closer. I'm not gonna cry! I'm not gonna cry!
I soon felt more weights crash down on me as the guys also jumped on Jack to give him a hug.
"We love you Jack!" they took turns saying. They were sobbing like crazy. As if Jack just came back from the dead or something.
"And I'll rip each and everybody's arm off and beat you with it if you guys DON'T GET OFF OF ME!" I yelled, my face still buried in Jack's chest.
One by one, the guys peeled themselves off of Jack and I was able to sit up. I sat facing Jack, looking into his new hazel eyes my father transferred. They sparkled with life, better than the ones that no longer function they way they should.
Carefully, as if he didn't want to scratch my face with his smooth hand, he reached out and gently rested his hand on my right cheek; his cute smile never leaving his face. My heart increased into intense speed and I could help but return his smile.
I raised my hand and placed it on top of his. Our touch sending sparks and flows of electricity through my body.
"So, Jack," my dad cleared his throat, "What do you think of my Kim?"
"I'm speechless, Dr. Crawford," Jack said, his new eyes never leaving mines. "She is way beyond beautiful. I didn't think somebody this beautiful ever exisited."
"Why thank you, Jackson, you are very kind," Dad said as if he was the pretty one Jack was describing.
"Oh come on Jack," I wrapped my hand around his, "I'm not that beautiful am I?"
"You kidding me?!" he suddenly yelled, surprising everybody in the room. "You're beyond beautiful, Kim! Since I met you my first day here, I've been dying to see what you look like. The way I hear guys talk about you at school, you're exactly like a goddess. No differences, nothing! I'm just very lucky that you chose me instead of other jock who could see."
The room fell silent, even Dad had nothing to say. I could stare at him, completely jumbled up in words. Nobody has ever said that, or even came around to the idea. My past boyfriends really only dated me to reach the top of the popularity ladder but none of them ever been this deep before.
Surprising everybody, he pulled me towards him. I couldn't react fast enough so my lips hit his. It was meant to be a gentle kiss, but I'm pretty sure my lips are brusied but it didn't matter. Jack loves me and now he could finally see me. I closed my eyes and returned his kiss.
"I'm counting," I heard Dad say.
We quickly separated, suddenly aware of the huge audience we had in the room.
"Sorry, forgot you guys were still here," Jack said, I could see him blushing like mad. I probably am, too but hey I don't care.
"So now that we all know you two aren't going be breaking up any time soon," Eddie said, "How do you think about each and every one of us? Who's hot and who's not? Well?"
"Um," Jack blinked. "Do I have to?"
The week passed by in a blink and the next thing we knew, it was Friday. Kelsey's party was tomorrow and well, we're suppose to be helping the gang prepare...
But Jack and me managed to slip away. Yeah, Jack was released Thursday night and returned to the school this morning. He told me that he wanted to spend some time with me so we escaped the little heated arguement between Grace and Eddie. Couldn't decide which colors to use for the decoration.
Anyway, Jack led me towards the park where he told me about myself. We headed towards Seaford Resavoir and that's where he finally decided to stop. By now, my feet are aching the heck!
I plopped myself on the grass, careful not to mess my red panda tee and not to get my light blue skinny jeans dirty, "Jack, why did you want to come here?"
"I don't know," he sat down next to me, his arm brushing mines, "I just want to spend some time with my girl."
Jack was wearing a black and red plaid shirt covering his black t-shirt inside. He was also wearing his red Adidas high tops and black jeans.
I smiled at his comment, I leaned up and pecked him on the cheek. The school doesn't know we're dating yet. Jack said he wanted to keep that a secret and tell them later.
"So you need to talk about something?" I asked.
"Well, I can say that I'm a little jealous," he said.
"How come?"
"Because, I see Brody starring at you all the time in math," he started. "And all the conversations around the school between the guys. There was also a rumor that you might be dating a senior from a different school 'cause it's been a year since your break up with Brody."
"Well, I'm not dating a senior," I said. "I'm dating a former-blind guy and I love him so much."
"Prove it," he whispered and he leaned down. I went in to kiss him but instead of his lips, I kissed his cheek instead.
"The heck, Kimmy?" he looked at me, confused.
"Just teasing you, Jack," I winked before standing up.
"Where are you going?" my boyfriend asked.
"If you want that kiss, you're gonna have to catch me," I said.
I could see him smirk in the setting sun's light rays. Before he could move, I ran up the hill and headed towards the park, with Jack close on my heels.
We ran around, him almost catching me several times, before I tired. I slowed to a jog, making everything easier for him to wrap his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him.
"Your promise?" his breath touched my ear, making me shiver a bit.
"Of course," I turned my head and his lips met mines almost immediately.
We made out for a bit before we heard our names being called. Jerry and Milton were looking for us because, yeah, we did run away without them knowing.
"Over here!" I yelled.
Our two friends came into view as the sun finally finished it's journery across the day.
"Yo, where the heck did you two go?" Jerry asked.
"Just to the resavoir and back, how's the preparations coming?" I asked.
"Well, Grace won Eddie so we decroated the dojo with red party stuff," Jerry said, smiling probably at his girlfriend's success, "She bites like a puma."
"Whatever, so where are you two heading?" Jack asked.
"Well, home," Milton said.
"What about you two?" Jerry crossed his arms and smirked. "So who's bed is it going to be in? Yours, Kimmy, or Jackie's?"
Oh noooo he didn't! "Jerry?"
"Yeah?" he looked at me.
"Run," I hissed. He uncrossed his arms and before I could claw his face, he sprinted off with Milton right behind him. Jack held me back with a strong arm. Jerry is soooooo lucky he escaped this one.
Jack soothed me a bit. Then, hand in hand, we started heading down our street and home. We talked about random crap and about the party tomorrow. Julie was in charge of invitation so not many of those jocky guys or preppy girls are gonna show.
Soon enough, we reached the front of my house and I found myself in Jack's powerful strong arms, and kissing. I love the kisses, the hugs we share, and the times we spend together. I love Jack and I love everything about well, him in general. Now I know he loves me the same way.
"Jack?" I asked, when we separated.
"Yes, Kim?" he said, his forehead still resting on mines. His arms around my waist and my arms around his neck.
"Tell me," I whispered. "Tell me you love me."
"I love you, Kim," Jack pecked me first, "I loved you when we met and now, my love for you is deeper. Wanna know why?"
"Why?" I asked, and it's true. I don't know.
"Because," his breath was on my lip now. He pulled be closer to him.
"Because what?" I asked.
"I can see you," Jack said before he kissed me again, making sure he was able to prove his whole love for me.
I am sorry to say, The End! El Fin!
But wait, there's more!
Yea or nay for an epilogue? Review and let me know! I'll update it tomorrow if I can.
Thank you, all!
Love you all,
