This is the last chapter I will be posting, because I started this story up again just to be fair to the people who enjoyed it. I also got a few reviews just recently I only just saw, and thankyou for you suggestions! I'm not the best writer, I just write to get the story line across, so yeah I'm not really getting detailed or anything! But thankyou all the same for your suggestions and everyone's kind reviews! I am going to sort of make the ending rushed, because I keep procrastinating on this story and it's not fair to just end it again. So yeah, I'm going to just really quickly sum it up and everyone knows how's it's going to end! All happy etc! I just finished my other story so I want to tie this one up too. Sorry if I disappoint anyone with this choppy ending but yeah! Thankyou all so much for taking your time to read this and being patient with me. : )
"You did what?!"
"We kissed.. Well he kissed me and I kissed him back this time and, I don't know how to explain it." Jenna was lost for words, there was no word in the human language to explain how great she felt.
"So you didn't get into a screaming match like last time?" Tamara asked sarcastically, but jokingly.
"No.. you came over and I haven't spoken to him since ha-ha" Jenna laughed to hide her inner confusion. She felt amazing when she thought of the kiss and when she thought of Matty, but she felt anxious when she thought of what might come from it. Did she want a relationship? Did Matty?
"Well! Call him!" Tamara insisted.
"I don't know.. I still need to decide, I mean should I ask him out? Should I just not mention it?" Tamara rolled her eyes at Jenna.
"Really Jenna. After all this time, you are still trying to decide what you want? You know the answer." Tamara smiled and hoped onto Jenna's bed as Jenna slowly followed behind. Tamara patted on the bed next to her and Jenna stared at Tamara waiting for her to tell Jenna what it was she wanted, because clearly she was too blind to know herself.
"Jenna, I remember when I saw you and Matty talking for the first time in the hallway. You tried to hide it, but I know you, better than yourself half the time! I could tell by the way you stood in front of him and the way you smiled, and since then so much has changed, but not the way you look at him." Jenna listened to each word Tamara said and upon hearing those words she realised it was all true. Jenna flung herself back onto her mattress and took a deep sigh and Tamara smiled knowing Jenna had figured out what she wanted.
It was the next day, a weekend and she hadn't heard from Matty and she hadn't make any contact to him either. Jenna knew she wanted to be with Matty, she had been through a lot since they first spoke to now, and Tamara made a point, her feelings for him never changed. Sure sometimes they would hide away, but they were always there. If they had lasted that long, she didn't see why they would disappear if her and Matty became a real thing. Jenna had to sort out things with one person first before she made the call to Matty. Someone she hadn't spoken to in a long time, a person who suddenly vanished from her life and caused her a world of physical pain as well as mental, but he also brought her back to her friends and Matty after she forced a wedge between herself and them. Jenna set out on her walk, a path she knew well, to a place she knew well. She arrived at the oval. Jenna felt her knees shake with anxiety while she creeped towards the spot, where she could see in a distance black figures.
"Collin…" She called out quietly as she stood near the gang of teenage boys with smokes hanging out of their mouths. The familiar face turned around, the look of his pierced skin and oily hair brought back memories instantly to Jenna. A quick flash back from the night she flew off the motorbike snapped into her head. She pictured herself flying, knowing she couldn't do anything but land harshly on the floor. "Jenna?" Collin snapped her out of her flashback state.
"Guys, go away. Leave!" Collin demanded at his friends who ran off like scared dogs. Collin walked over to Jenna and as he got closer Jenna noticed a scar above his eyebrow, only small but it wasn't there the last time she had seen him.
"Hey, how have you been?" Jenna asked awkwardly.
"Fine. I heard you got hurt pretty badly.. About that night, I-I, uh, I'm sorry that happened. Sorry we didn't talk after or anything." Jenna could hear Collin's pride cracking as he hesitantly apologised. She knew it was hard for him to say, even though she had a lot of emotions towards him, she realised them all, ready to move on, past the accident and forgive him.
"It's fine Collin. I just wanted to come here, to see you actually. I know we didn't see each other after the accident and it's been a while. But I just had to get some closure." She smiled innocently, showing that she wasn't there for trouble.
"Okay, well, okay." Collin was straight back to his typical 'bad boy' ways, with a hint of kindness in the way he talked, because he did still feel guilty after everything.
"Thankyou Collin." Jenna smiled and gently rubbed the side of his arm. He looked confused about why she was thanking him but he accepted it and gave her a smile back.
"I'll see ya Jenna." Collin walked away from Jenna and lit up a smoke on his way back to his gang and Jenna made her way back home. As she turned away and left the oval she pulled out her phone and dialled Matty's number.
"Hey, it's me." Jenna was excited to be talking to him, nervous but eager to see him. Matty on the other line of the phone smiled as he heard Jenna's voice. He put the television on mute and stood up, feeling like he couldn't stay still. He rubbed the back of her neck searching for words.
"Hi! How are you?"
"I'm fine! Ha-ha, actually are you busy right now?"
"No, no, uh, where are you?"
"I'm out, but I'm going to be home in a minute?"
"I'll come get you?" Matty offered.
"Well, no ones going to be home, my parents are at a wedding this weekend…" Jenna sounded flirtatious. If her and Matty had the type of conversation she was hoping for she didn't want to be in a restaurant or a mall, she wanted privacy and comfort.
"Okay. I'll be there soon." Matty's smile was vibrant and even though Jenna couldn't see it over the phone she could feel it in his voice and he could feel it in hers.
A gently knock on her front door made Jenna's heart stop. She had gotten home and quickly changed clothes and put on slight hints of makeup. She had never acted this way for a guy, she had never acted this way for anyone. She was a typical teenage girl in that very moment and even though she was acting for far out of her element it came naturally to her at the thought of seeing Matty. She swung the door open and greeted Matty as he walked in obviously nervous just like her. They were never awkward around each other, normal they were so comfortable around each other strangers would assume they had known each other their hole lives. They both walked over to the couch and sat facing each other.
"So…" Matty said awkwardly joking making it obvious that they were both acting weird. They laughed and Matty wrapped his arm around Jenna's shoulder and rocked her gently. They both laughed gently at each other as they shuffled closer. Matty stopped laughing and let his arm sink onto Jenna as she looked up into his beautiful eyes.
"Jenna.. It doesn't have to be a big deal, and it's not about the title for anyone else, but I've liked you for so long and care about you so much, I don't want to miss this opportunity, so, will you go out with me?
Because the thought of you being with anyone else, and looking at them with that precious face of yours kills me." Matty ran his thumb along her jaw line gently as he spoke about her gentle face.
"This isn't really me, being someone's girlfriend or feeling like this towards someone. But I'm not going to pretend I don't feel the way I do. I want us to try this… I want to be with you ha-ha" Matty leant in and kissed Jenna and she fell back onto the couch where Matty laid on top of her. They were passionately kissing, filled with happiness and relief. Jenna had changed so much, finally things were just how she never imagined she would want, but to her everything was great. She didn't need Matty to make her happy, but he just did.
