Ok as requested here's chapter 5...
*~*~*~*~*~
He tied the trench coat tighter around his waste, for the air was surprising cold and begged to warmed again with the warm air of the summer that had left them. And as he stared out into the beyond that was the night he found himself once again thinking about the certain blonde beauty that come into his life only a little over a day ago. Each time he thought of here his heart sprung a leap, which he never believe was possible to do. Although he believed in the concept of love it was somewhat hard to find himself...being who he was and everything...
And that thought brought a certain pang of sadness into his mind. If he didn't even love himself who else could ever do the same thing. But wait?! What was he thinking in the first place? He had only just met this girl and although her beauty was beyond insisting he couldn't let himself have that hope that she could possibly ever want to be more than friends...
Then again even friendship was pending. He probably wouldn't even see her again. He shook his head violently and returned to the lower pillars of the church to fix the large hole that his more than welcomed guest had made earlier... And that's when noticed the orange and yellow stripped scarf hanging in the suggestive breeze just longing to be returned to it's owner...
*~*~*~*~*
She tied the robe that lingered around her body tighter in an effort to avoid the bitter cold that was descending on the small town. And with her wet hair being the only proof remaining that she had taken a shower she retreated to her room. Earlier when she had escaped the frustrating suggestions of Lucas she desperately needed a shower to wash away the stench of his cologne and cocky sense of rights. So she had scrubbed her skin until she swore it would begin peeling off. Letting the steam from the hot shower burn her flesh, so that just for one moment she could forget who she was, and just how frantic her life had become.
Yet later on when she was aimlessly wondering her house hiding in the shadows to keep from being spotted by her parents she saw Liz sleeping softly in her once again messy bed. The sight of her sister sucking her thumb and snoring lightly made her wish she could just...do things over again? Oh hell, she didn't even know anymore.
But she could hear her parents laughing over something obscene in the dining room beneath them. And she leaned against the thick trim that lead to her sister's room and she suddenly felt sorry for her baby sister...the only child who would probably get to witness that wonderful people that her parents once were. When they were young and full of ideas, when they didn't have the obligations of sorrow on their shoulders,...when they were in love.
No as sad as it was Liz would probably never get to see that. And the thought brought a tear to Jess's eye as she took one last look at her sister and once again traveled across the room forcing herself to fall into a fitful and unpleasant sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*
She could hear the annoying sound of her mother on the phone when she awoke the next morning. In fact her voice seemed to drive a hole straight through her brain...and it was slowly driving her insane. She pulled the pillow over her head in an attempt to disclose the sound from her mind, but it was no use...she was awake and sleeping in was now a long lost dream.
Jess began the journey downstairs when her mother frantically met her half way desperate it appeared to fix her hair into something appropriate
"Jessica! Oh thank god!" She practically screamed with joy. Jess looked at her nervously and then anxiously began concentrating on the floor that gave the promise of no eye contact.
"I need you to watch Elizabeth for me today. Ann called and insisted that I join her and the rest of the girls for lunch..." Jess stopped listening at this point. Instead she just imagined that she was outside basking in the morning sunshine. But when she heard her mother running out the door and saying something about not letting her eat anything unhealthy she felt totally and utterly alone. She stood in the dark hallway by herself and crossed her arms over her chest before sitting on the top stair. She enjoyed the silence that had fallen over the house but loathed it at the same time. Everything was tranquil and yet everything was eerie.
She hated that house...it reeked of lies.
Her thought were interrupted by Lizzy running up to her dressed and ready for the day.
"Jessie! Jessie lets go outside and play with the smurf!"
Jess sighed and rolled her eyes yet laughed lightheartedly at the excitement her sister's face held. She got up and went to her room to get dressed. Shortly after pulling up her hair and brushing her teeth. She heard Lizzy screaming from the window.
"Lizzy! What's going on?!" Said Jess running up to the window grabbing her sister by the shoulder's and searching through the window for the reason. Yet when she examined the broad yard she saw nothing but several trees and the rose bush slowly fading away from the cold fall air.
"What is the matter with you Liz? You scarred me half to death, why did you do that?" She stood up and Lizzy turned around and smiled happily.
"The smurf he did a trick! Look! Look Jessie in the tree!" She silenced herself a little before answering in a whisper..."he climbed up the tree."
Jess put her hands on her hips and pushed some pieces of fallen hair out of her face, sighing loudly. "Lizzy have you been eating any sugar this morning?" Her sister had been known to have a rather active imagination so she just smiled and suggested they go down into the kitchen for some breakfast. Yet despite a very long attempt at trying to convince her to join her down stairs, but she couldn't tare her away from the window long enough to actually get her to move.
She was placing the pancakes on the table when she heard Lizzy skip her way downstairs holding her favorite doll...that had a orange an yellow stripped scarf around it's neck.
Jess nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw it. But Lizzy just laughed in her high pitched voice and explained that the smurf wanted Lizzy to give it to her. Jess slowly walked to the doll as though it was possessed or something. Yet a sudden and loud noise rattled her vision and made her lose her sight.
Lizzy jumped too as though she was also afraid.
"Lizzy get up stairs and don't come down until I say so." Said Jess in a whisper trying desperately to keep her voice from shaking.
"But Jessie it's OK he's..."
"Get upstairs now Lizzy!" She practically screamed with anger in her voice she didn't even know she owned.
She ignored her sister's rebellious attitude and grabbed a baseball bat from the corner of the kitchen. And she slowly walked to the back door where the sound had appeared to originate from. She open the door slowly and nearly had a heart attack when she saw the Glimmer's cat fly out from behind their garbage can.
Jess laughed and let the relief escape from her face as she stepped outside and looked around...nothing just her same old safe neighborhood. Or at least she assumed that until she turned around and ran right into a very large blue mutant.
*~*~*~*~*
It had hurt when he had fallen off the roof. It was at that point alone when he was ready to turn around and simply leave the scarf in the deck or something but when he heard a scream coming from the window across from the tree from which he was sitting he knew that his cover had been blown.
Yet the girl did not seemed frightened. She actually seemed intrigued by him, so he came closer to the window using his tail on by his tail to the gutter hinder he examined the child from his upside-down view. And he had indeed discovered that she had the same eyes as Jess. He smiled that's when she screamed again, although this time it appeared to be one of excitement instead one of shock.
He spotted Jess right around then from the other window from what he thought to be the bathroom. She had run over to the child at the window with concern laced on her face. So after she had left he proceeded to the girl who introduced herself as Lizzy. And he had smiled with an amused tone in his voice when he too had introduced himself. He had said he wanted to surprise her sister and asked for her help. She had been all the more willing to help this fresh friend out...and with her help they could really surprise Jess.
Yet she had screamed when she ran into him. He had startled her so much that she had actually tripped over herself and landed straight into his arms their faces a mere inches apart. And she looked at him with fear in her eyes for a brief moment. And although Kurt admitted to himself that he enjoyed the feeling of her in his arms, he was beginning to wonder if their short relationship had been a dream after all and she wasn't even real.
"Oh god Kurt you scared the hell out of me!" She said in an angered tone. Which she seemed to regret when she saw Lizzy in the doorway laughing hysterically. Soon she too broke out into a laughter and next thing any of them knew was that they were standing there laughing like idiots.
"I sincerely hope I'm not interrupting you." Said Kurt as he closed the door behind the two girls.
Lizzy's laughter had yet to cease. "Look Jessie his voice sounds funny!" Jess feared her sister randomness but Kurt reassured her by kneeling down to Lizzy's height and talking in his German native tongue. Making Lizzy laugh even more, and even erupting a small smile from Jess as she sat at the large table in the room.
"Kurt..." She started. "Would you like to join us for breakfast?"
He didn't get to answer before Lizzy grabbed on of his three fingered digits and led him to the table and a chair right next to Jess.
"Ja..." He said. Looking down silently. "I would like that."
