Chapter 5: Someday
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MY SO CALLED LIFE
Rayane sat next to me in French class. I gave her the whole 411 on Jordan and my conversation with him. "But keep an eye out Angela. If you fall to deep it might just be another unexpected surprise. His friends are slime balls. That I can assure you." She said before biting into a Slim Jim. I looked down at my notebook. For some reason I knew Rayane was wrong. Jordan would defend me. I couldn't doubt him after he beat up Christian and literally comforted me for an hour what is there to doubt? I looked up at the door and saw him standing there. "Come out." He mouthed the words and I smiled. I got the pass and walked out of class.
"Hey." He smiled. I smiled in return. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. "So how are you doing today?" He asked after he released me from his embrace. "Pretty well. My mom didn't freak she just thought I had a rough night." I replied as we walked hand in hand down the hallway. "Look um… Jordan I really want to thank you for yesterday. For you know staying there with me and all, I really appreciate it." I looked him in the eye as I said this to him. "Well I wasn't going to leave you there by yourself." We stopped at the doors of the auditorium. It was empty and we went in. "Angela look I want you to be my girlfriend." Jordan whispered as we sat down. I smiled so big that my cheeks hurt. "Really?" I sounded so childish asking such a stupid question. Jordan laughed and nodded an affirmative. "Of course I'd be your girlfriend." I hugged him and laughed. He relaxed and laughed along with me. We heard the doors squeak open. He pulled me under the chair with him. We crawled hoping to avoid the person who had entered. It was our principal. I had gotten my hair stuck on one of the nails of the chair. "Ow!" I squeaked. Jordan turned and hushed me as he tried to take my hair out. The footsteps got closer and we began to panic. He finally got my hair out and we crawled safely out of the auditorium. I kissed him and ran to class.
"Catalano how could you do that to Chris huh?" Gregory stood in front of Jordan and grilled him hard. "Look back off you don't know the story so just stay out of it." Jordan moved away." Gregory pushed him back. "Look just because you think you have some type of authority over us don't mean nothing. You're a nobody Catalano. We took you under our wing. We made you and believe me we can break you!" Gregory hissed. Christian stood behind him with a bruise on his left cheek and a black eye on his right. He smiled evilly. "If you think your threats scare me your wrong Greg. So just move." Jordan tried to move again and Gregory pulled him back. He was short with a muscular figure. He was pretty strong for someone who was only 5'9. Jordan pushed him back. "Look Greg stop your stupid games." He replied. "Look man all this crap started cause of that stupid whore Angela. If you don't chill out with your crap she'll suffer for you. I'm sure about it." Greg threatened. Jordan launched a punch his way. Greg fell to the floor from how powerful and how much impact it had caused. He knelt down and faced Greg. "Don't you ever talk about Angela that way you understand? Just like I warned Chris I'll warn you." Jordan spit on Greg's jacket. Suddenly Jordan was pushed to the floor and kicked in the ribs. "You bastard!" Christian was kicking him several times. Ricky had seen what was going on and jumped in. He punched Christian to the floor and began to kick him in the ribs. Jordan staggered to his feet. Greg tried to punch him but missed. Jordan tackled him to the floor and wildly punched him in the face. I rounded the corner and gasped. "Stop Jordan!" I pulled Jordan off Greg. Greg was bleeding from his nose. He stood up and pointed a menacing finger at me. "This is all your fault. You stupid bitch!!" Greg cursed. I looked over at him with disgust. I smacked him with such force that it hurt the palm of my hand. "Don't you ever insult me like that you bastard!" I was furious. Suddenly next thing I knew a hand had landed hard across my face. I felt the wind being knocked out of me. I staggered backwards and Jordan caught me. "Here Ricky hold her." Jordan pushed Gregory hard against the wall and punched him in the stomach. I saw Gregory gasp for air. Jordan's eyes blazed with anger. Ricky sat me down on the floor and ran straight towards Christian before he could lay a sneak attack on Jordan. I saw Greg gasping for air. I stood up and pushed Jordan away. "Enough Jordan stop please. Let's just leave." I tried pulling Jordan away frantically. "Angela get off I'm going to make him regret this." Jordan shouted. "NO! Get off him Jordan. STOP!!" I shouted. He looked at me in surprise and stopped. Gregory fell to the floor breathing heavily. Ricky had pushed Christian to the floor and joined Angela and Jordan's side. They all walked away before another havoc broke out.
Jordan and me had cut the rest of school. We sat in his car parked on a hillside. The side of his lip was bleeding. I pulled out a napkin and wiped it clean. Jordan looked down at my hand and took it in his. "Why'd you make me stop hitting Greg?" Jordan finally asked. "I don't want anymore drama. I don't want you to fight everyday to protect me. I just want us to be happy. Forget what they all think. It means nothing. I finally learned that and I hope you learn it to." I replied looking at his flawless features. He placed a hand on my face. He rubbed the spot where Greg had smacked me. I winced a little from the pain. "It hurts?" He asked concerned. "A little." I whispered. He leaned in and kissed it. I turned his face to face mine and kissed him. I kissed him with all the passion and desire inside of me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he leaned closer. I could smell his musty cologne and his cranberry scented hair. It was perfect. I finally let go out of breath. " Angela, do you promise to love me for always?" Jordan asked me. I looked into his eyes. They looked so sincere and clear now. Like I had finally unlocked his secret. "Yes for always." I smiled. He squeezed my hand and I laid my head on his shoulder. It was all too perfect, like a dream come true. He placed one of his hands on my leg and laid his head on mine. I felt him breathe softly against me. He was falling asleep. I giggled a little and stifled a yawn. I began to fall asleep as well.
I woke up to someone shaking me. "Hmm?" I slowly opened my eyes. There was Jordan looking at me. "Huh? What time is it?" I yawned. "It's 5" He answered. I awoke quickly. "Oh jeez. My mom is going to kill me." I sat up straight while in the process my head had hit his jaw. "Oh my God I'm so sorry." I said touching his face. "It's all right." He laughed. "Besides I was only kidding its 3:50 he laughed. "Oh man why'd you scare me like that!" I slapped his arm gently. I sat up and fixed my hair. I felt him staring at me. His eyes burned into my face. I looked at him and he blushed. "Oh is that a blush I see?" I teased. Jordan smiled. "No it's just I had to sneeze and I kind of held it in and I turned pink. Happens all the time." I laughed at his lame excuse. He took my hand in his. "Look at the sky Angela." He pointed to the sun. It was beginning to set. I breathed and smiled. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Just for this moment it felt perfect. Someday we'll be able to come here and stay for as long as our hearts desired.
