Chapter18
Jamie walked to Catie's house. He finale reached it ten minutes later. His heart racing. His
heart..................................it was soaring with the thought that Catie loved him. He knocked on
the door and Val answered.
'Hey"he said solemly to her. Her eyes flashed and she was reminded of what he'd said the day
before.
"Is Catie here?"
"Whay you come to apologize?"she asked.
"Yeah I have."
"Thats good."she hollored over her shoulder. "Hey Catie some one is here to see you."
Catie appeared a few seconds later.
"Oh its you"she put up a front when inside she was floating. Yesterday didn't matter.
"Catie look before you hate me all over again I gotta tell you."
"Tell me what?"she asked rolling her eyes.
"Tell you why I did the things I did. Tell you why it hurt to say I didn't love you."he replied
quickly.
"Explaine then."
"Okay. Okay. I didn't return your love because I didn't know how to. And I swore I'd never hurt
you. But that was all I could do. Hurt you. Like yesterday. That wasn't me.i could see outside of
my self. Saying those things. i didn't mean them. Catie I love you. Please say you love me to. i
want to give you this."he took the chain off from around his neck. He took the key off and handed
it to her.
"I know its not an engagement ring but right now that doesn't matter. Its the key to my heart."
"What are you saying?"she asked, dumbfounded.
"What i'm saying is as hard as we try we'll never be friends. We'll pretend to hate each other
while love ripps us apart. We'll be in love until it kills us both. Catie what i'm saying is will
you marry me?"
She wanted to desparately say yes. But she had a secet. Maybe she should keep it and maybe she
shouldn't.
"Jamie I have something to tell you!"she shrieked as tears of joy sprung into her eyes.
"What?"
"I think I'm pregant"she smiled wearily.
"I love you" he said.
