This Time I Can't Let Her Go
Part one
Jason Welles walked through the quite hallway of Salem High. School had ended for the summer, but he had a hard time leaving the school that year. Releasing a sigh he turned the last corner that would lead him out to the parking lot. Suddenly he stopped.
Standing with her back to him, stood Miriam Lockhart. He was surprised to see her still at school. He had thought he was the last one there, but evidently he was wrong. Walking over to her, he lightly tapped her one the shoulder. He jumped back slightly as she twirled around.
" What the hell Jason! You scared me!" Mimi yelled.
" Sorry Meems."
" Whatever." Mimi said as she turned back towards the door.
" Mimi?"
" What!"
" Um…what are you still doing here?"
" I missed my bus okay? I'm waiting inside until the next one comes."
" Oh."
" Yeah. It's just great. It's the last day of school and what happens? I miss the bus and have to wait for the next one."
Silence settled between the two teens. Mimi stole a quick glance at Jason. He was looking up the road, where the bus would come from.
' Why am I still standing here with Her? Its just Mimi. It's just Loser Mimi. So why can't I get myself to leave? Why? Because she isn't just loser Mimi anymore, she's Mimi. Where did that come from.' Jason thought.
" Hello? Jase!"
" Sorry, what did you say?"
" I asked you why you were still here."
" I had to talk to Miss. Lewis."
"No. Why are you still here, with me."
" I don't know."
" Oh. Jase, we haven't talked all year, so why bother now."
" We talked."
" Yeah when? When no one would see you, Jason the super jock, talking to Mimi the homeless loser? Yeah right. Face it we never talked."
" Meems…"
" Or maybe we talked when I was a janitor? Or maybe we talked when you were so busy being Jan's lapdog? When did we talk Jason? When?"
Mimi looked at Jason waiting for him to answer he questions.
" Shut up Mimi. You don't even know me."
" The hell I don't."
Mimi stared at Jason hard, as he shook his head.
" What now Mr. Know-it-all?"
" Just drop it Mimi." Jason said sharply as he opened the door. " Have a good summer."
As the door shut behind him, Mimi slapped her hand to her forward.
' Good job Meems. Great. You just lost any chance. Chance for what?' Mimi thought.
Mimi watched as Jason walked towards his green Ford Explorer, sitting alone in the parking lot. As she looked up the road she saw the bus coming down the street. Opening the door, Mimi fled the school and the memories it held.
Jason unlocked his Explorer and got in.
' Damn her. Damn Mimi Lockhart. So what if the stuff she said was true? I'm a different person now. I'm not with Jan anymore and I don't tease her anymore.' Jason thought.
Suddenly a yell took him out of his thoughts. Looking towards the bus stop he saw Mimi watching the bus turn the corner, without her. Taking a deep breath, he started his car and pulled out of his parking lot.
' Bye Salem High.' He thought.
Mimi reached the bus stop in time to see the bus turning the corner. Releasing a yell of frustration she looked down at her watch.
' Great only an hour until the next bus comes. Just peachy.' She thought.
" What else can possibly happen?" Mimi said out loud.
" Get in."
" What?" Mimi said as she turned to the source of the voice. " Oh…it's you."
" Yeah. Get in."
" No."
" Yes."
" I'd rather walk home." She said as she began walking away.
Growling, he let off the brake and slowly followed her.
" Mimi get in the damn car now."
" No."
" Damn it Mimi."
Jason swore under his breath, and pulled over at the corner. Putting the car in park, he got out and headed back to where Mimi was.
" Mimi…"
" Jason I said no."
" And I said yes. It's late and it's getting dark. You are coming with me."
" No I am not."
" Oh yes you are."
Suddenly Jason moved and picked Mimi up. Mimi immediately began swearing at him and pounding his back.
" Let me down."
" No."
Jason reached the passenger side of his car and opened the door. Placing her in the seat he pushed the child-safety lock before closing the door. He quickly jogged over to the driver's side and got in.
" Buckle up."
" Make me."
