" Hey Scout" Will said as Scout got up from his bed.
"Did you have a good time with Paige?"
Scout smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I did actually .What about you? "
" Yeah it was cool." Will agreed.
"But I left a little bit early because Bella needed to go home."
Scout shot Will a worried look.
"Was something wrong?" Scout asked interested in what happened with Bella.
" No, nothing was wrong ,it was only a delivery for the gasstation she had to take care about , so I decided to follow her home and then come back to the dorms." Will explained getting out of his bed.
" Oh." Scout said relaxing again.
~ A while later~
"What should we do today?" Scout asked.
Will shrugged his shoulders
"I don´t know maybe we could ask Jake. Maybe he has an idea on what to do.." He answered walking towars the door.. Scout followed him. Will and Scout made their way to Jake´s room.
*************
Knock, knock.
"Jake are you awake? " Will asked leaning against the door.
"I´m not feeling well, leave me alone I see you later." She tried to yell so they would hear her but it sounded only like she mumbled..
"Ok, I hope you get better." Will said back and walked towards their room again.
***************
"Maybe Hamilton" Scout suggested and Will went to get the phone.
"Ham, it´s me Will, we were just wondering if you are up to do something with us, maybe go to Friendly´s …?"
"Look Will I´m not feeling that great at the moment, so maybe another time?" Hamilton answered obviously not interested in Will´s suggestion.
"Ok. Take care ,bye." He hang up and looked at Scout.
"Is he coming?
Will shook his head.
" No, he is not feeling well either…. Do you know what is going on? " Will asked a little confused.
"No, do you know if something happened at the cotillion? " asked Scout
"No…" Will said thinking
"When I went home I saw Jake at the cotillion headed towards the toilets, that´s all." Will told Scout.
Scout started to think too.
"I saw Ham with Lena in the beginning but most of the night I saw Lena with somebody else.
I also remember seeing Lena talking to Ham, and then I think he left, headed towards the toilets." Scout let out a sigh.
" I don´t know"
"Do you think something is going on between those two, sometimes they act so strange?" said Will
Scout shrugged his shoulders " Who knows? Let´s go to Friendly´s"
****************
"Hamilton, do you want some breakfast, I rather mean brunch." Hamilton´s mother asked him as soon as Hamilton woke up.
"No, mom I´m not hungry."
*There is something wrong with him, I must ask him!* She thought walking towards his room and very worried because Hamilton never says no to food.
"Hamilton, is everything alright? Did something happen yesterday?" She asked standing in his doorway.
"No, I´m fine. " Hamilton said turning in his bed.
" I´m just tired and I feel a little bit sick, I´m sure I´ll be fine tomorrow." He said pulling up the covers up over his head. He sat there thinking
His mother looked at him with worried eyes and then left him alone.
*Sure, I´m fine, and yeah nothing bad happened yesterday… Who am I kidding? Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life. I thought I was gay, now I´m not. I´m inlove with a girl who lied to me!*
*God! I feel so mean making her cry! I should just forgive her, that´s what my heart is telling me! But my mind says no!. Is this how life is going to be?! Making big decisions which not only change your life but others too. I never thought that I would have to make these decisions so soon.*
*I should listen to my heart,… but a heart with holes in it can´t make good decisions,… or could it?
I have to think about this, I will meet Jake tomorrow, maybe I can look in her eyes and then tell her something… Why can´t I stop thinking about her.!* he thought as he fell asleep.
**************
~ At the same time in Jake´s room~
Jake had just woken up
*God.. it´s Sunday, and Will has the nerve to wake me !*
She sat up and stretched
* What am i going to do today.* she thought as she dressed.
* I don´t want to talk to anyone… or think about anyone - like Hamilton… *
* STOP it Jake* she thought pulling up her jeans.
*He won´t forgive me!, I need to realise that. How could everything go so wrong? I don´t know when it started to go downhill, but somewhere it did. I confused him, and that later, broke my heart… I broke my own heart, that was really good Jacqueline! I haven´t got the strenght to do anything.* she fell back to her bed.
*Did I really thought that I could mend my heart by coming here?!? Finding myself? Mend the hole in my heart? That everything would fall into place?. I have definitely seen too much TV, because it never happens in real life. None of it.
You make hard decisions, and stand by them and take the consequences they may have. I wasn´t ready to take the consequences and look, where I am now.
Lying in my bed, unhappy and with noone to turn to.
This day could have started better.*
She turned and went back to sleep.
~ Later back in Hamilton´s room~
*6.00 pm , and I have spent a whole day doing nothing but thinking and I have still not come to a decision. I didn´t think it would be this hard! She wants my forgiveness, she truly ment it, but why does it feel so hard to admit it and tell her that I want to be with her?!? *
He looked at his clock again
* 6.01 pm - god ! Can´t this Sunday go any faster, can´t this whole matter get out of my mind.*
~ 3 hours later back in Jake´s room~
*God! 9.00 pm * Jake thought
*All I´ve been doing is sleeping and thinking, thinking and sleeping, and I have still not figured out what I really want. I mean I know what I want, but he can´t forgive me and now I have to make my decision based on that fact. He´s never going to be my friend again. He probably never wants to see me again… If he doesn´t speak to me tomorrow, I´m leaving Rawley, as soon as possible. That´s all there is to it.* She thought staring at her celing like she has done all day in bed.
~ 2 hours later~
Hamilton woke up from his restless sleep
*11.00pm. I have slept a lttle. Like sleeping helped anyway. ?! he thought as he sat up
* Can I still be Jake´s friend.? Can I trust her again.? I don´t want to have to make this decision. I don´t…* Hamilton buried his face in his pillow. He had stayed all day in bed.
**************
Knock, knock.
Jake stirred from her sleep.
" Dam it Will!!! I don´t want to go to Friendly´s!!!" she looked at her clock. 5.23am?
*Who could that be?* She thought moving her glaze to the door and waking herself up.
"It´s me Hamilton, please let me in."
* Oh my god!* Jake thought running her fingers through her hair.
"Hamilton, ok, I´m coming. " she called out.
"Why are you here so early?" she asked opening the door and letting him in.
* Not that I´m complaining!*
"I have to tell you something." He said walking around the room.
"If you were a boy I would punch you!"
* What?* Jake thought.
" But the thing is I´m not." she said as he stopped in front of her
"I know, that´s why I´m going to do this." He looked at her. At the moment he knew what he was about to do was so right so he´ll do it. Hamilton leaned over and kissed Jake. She kissed him back.
After the kiss they both looked at each other as they knew deep in their heart this was ment to happen.
"Hamiltom, all I can say is thank you." Jake broke the silence after they pulled away.
"For what? " He asked looking into her eyes. * Damn! You´re so beautiful!?*
"You forgave me, Hamilton, only a guy with a big heart and soul would have done that." Jake´s eyes filled with tears.
" My heart" Hamilton said wiping her eyes.
"Just told me to follow my feelings, and here I am. " They kissed again.
Ham pulled away.
"That reminds me, get ready, I want to show you something "
He waited for her to finish dressing
"Should I put on my corset?" she asked pulling on her shoes.
"Yes, maybe, we don´t know who we might meet."
Jake dressed- and was following Hamilton out of the dorms
"Where are you taking me?" She asked as they walked.
"This place….it isn´t only a wonderful place to see when the sunsets, it´s also a wonderful place to see sunrise. "
They stopped at their spot
"Hamilton have I said that you are wonderful, caring and lovable person. "
"Jake, you are too." he said as they sat down, they started to kiss, it was early noone saw them. they lent against their tree, and just held eachother.
Time passed by, and suddenly it was eight o´clock.
"Jake" Ham said hearing the school bell.
"We are late to class."
"Yeah I know …but I don´t want leave!"
" Neither do I" He said kissing her cheek
They stood up and walked towards their class. Unfortunally they showed up late giving everyones´s looks over them.
Especially Lena´s.
*Finally ...* She thought looking at them as they tired without sucess tried to not to look at each other.
* They are together* she grinned at Hamilton as he smiled back…
True love is so beautiful
The End
