Yep here's chapter 7...enjoy...
*~*~*~*~*
When Jess awoke she found herself inhaling the familiar scent of brimstone and fresh earth that was her new found friend. And when she opened her eyes she made the discovery that she was smiling. Because her head was resting on Kurt's shoulder. When she looked around she noticed a blanket wrapped around them both, and with further inspection she realized Lizzy was on the other sofa drooling soundly on her pillow. The warmth between her body and Kurt's made her long to snuggle up closer to him and fall into an even more sounder sleep than she had been in before.
He's eyes were also closed. And she guessed that by the stead, slow rising of his chest that he too was asleep. She tilted her head closer to him, and that's only when she felt his arm on the other side of her holding her safely. She liked that... She breathed in silently his smell, his scent. It reminded her of something simple yet passionate at the same time, and it relaxed her. She tried to close her eyes but she once again glanced around the room. The window reviled a dark street, with lights suggesting that it was indeed a very late hour.
With a panicked expression she pulled up her face to the old grandfather clock that rested on the left side of the room.
Damn! She scolded herself, it was long after midnight! No wonder everyone had fallen asleep! But the terrifying thought crossed her mind about that fact that her parents were not "mutant lovers" so to speak. In fact Jess often had to hear annoying, closed-minded conversations about how those freaks were ruining the community, and how the government should just get rid of them and how better we would all be if they all just dropped off the face of the earth...
She had no idea where her parents were, but when she got up hastily and ran around the house the door hadn't been opened recently, and nothing in the home had been disturbed.
They weren't home.
But they could have been at any moment! Jess ran a hand through her sloppy hair that just wouldn't stay out of her way and practically ran to the living room and caught her breath while taking one last look at the peaceful scene in front of her. She quickly turned on the local lamps and ran to Lizzy.
"Lizzy! Lizzy! Quick get up and go to your room. Get your pajamas on, brush your teeth, and crawl into bed!"
The child lazily lifted up her eyes, and blinked in response. She obviously had no idea what had been going on, so Jess sighed and rolled over to Kurt who was now stirring due to all the comminution.
"Kurt! Hey Kurt? Kurt you got to get up."
But apparently he was just as hard to wake up as Lizzy, because he mumbled something but other than that he just didn't stir. And it wasn't until Jess began shaking him violently that his eyes flew open in distress. He clearly forgot where he was because he seemed slightly shocked to see Jess standing in front of him. So he quickly rubbed his eyes before responding to her stressing babbling.
"Jess, what's wrong?"
She seemed relieved that he had awaken, so she firmly left his side and continued rushing Lizzy up the stairs.
"Oh Kurt! I'm sorry, but you have to go now. My parents might be home any minute!"
She continues to search through the windows frantically as though she was expecting someone to pull into the drive way at any moment. And her hair was dangling in her face continuously as though it was intentionally trying to annoy her. He knew he shouldn't have but he couldn't help but laugh slightly at her panicked nature toward the situation.
Yet she didn't seemed amused in the slightest. In act she almost appeared upset at his sensitive sense of humor. But he still understand he attitude, what was the big deal anyway? It wasn't like they had done anything wrong, and besides she seemed more upset than that. Like there was something she wasn't quite saying but something that she desperately wanted to across.
But the sound of a car's break's in the nearby distance stopped his thinking. But seemed to implode Jess's fear even more. Her eyes widened and she ran to Kurt panic struck.
'Kurt! Oh god what if they see you here? They'll completely freak out!" She exclaimed.
Kurt attempted to speak but he was cut off by Jess pushing him into the kitchen.
"Ok! Ok...I can handle this." She said trying to calm herself.
"You can go out through the kitchen's back door, then you can teleport home..." She turned around cautiously toward the main hall way.
Yet Kurt shrugged helplessly. He felt utterly confused and somehow hurt. He could get that if she was worried about what her parents would think, but why was she being so intolerable. His confusion didn't go away so he decided to ask she so.
"Jess, what's going on here? Did I miss something?" But Jess just turned around angrily at his lack of exiting her home.
"Kurt, look I didn't want to say it but my parents...well they...you just have to leave Kurt now!" She exclaimed. Although the last few words were in a whisper compared to the sound of footsteps as they came up her walkway.
Jess turned and closed her eyes before running upstairs to her room. The sound of her parents loudly entering the house startled her and made her shiver with a slight hesitation to even breath. So instead she stood on the closed side of her door, in the dark, bathing in the self-loathing that she granted herself. She could hear the sound of her mother and father: laughing, talking, and arguing.
She had just hoped Lizzy hadn't heard anything. But it was probably way past hope for that. The house grew more silent as the minutes dragged by. And eventually the house was nothing but an eerie quick that seeped through Jess's soul and touched that part of her that she hated.
She had been so cruel to Kurt. She had at the very least owed him an explanation. But she hadn't even done that. God! What was the matter with her? Kurt was a great, nice guy who made her laugh. She smiled at the thought. He really was one of a kind, she knew that. And in more ways than one she knew as she thought about it more.
She mentally scolded herself for even thinking romantic thoughts about that blue mutant, with the big muscles, great smile...and thin, long eyelashes.
No! She silently screamed to herself, before smacking her head against the door that she called her own. She didn't deserve a guy like Kurt...she knew that. She had to accept it. It was simple, it was getting over the idea of him watching over her while she slept that was hard to shake from her mind.
Two tears slid down her chin as she looked out the window. Kurt was probably long gone by now...but God she really wanted to say just how sorry she was...
*~*~*~*~*
Kurt through his chair angrily on the stuffed out sofa in the darkened church. Then after babbling to himself in German for quite some time he decided that the situation was pointless. Those extremely rare and wonderful moments he had shared with Jess were nothing but a pointless dream. He mentally yelled at himself for trying to even compete with the person that she was. He sighed...she had made it clear to him that she didn't want him around. No No there were no mixed singles about it.
He was completely unwanted. He grew angry at the thought and self-loathing began boiling in his blood. Why had he even gotten his hopes up anyway? He should have known better, although his God taught to be patient with people and not to stereotype the fact was that most girls like Jess simply used mutants as a way to upset their parents.
He should have known better. He smacked himself on the forehead before settling on the sofa and closing his eyes. Hating himself for doing it, but it was unavoidable that he just couldn't keep from thinking about that beautiful, warm body he had been holding in his sleep.
