*BY THE WAY. I don't own Edward scissorhands.. if I did, I wouldn't be writing my stories and posting them on the net, I'd be making them into movies! However, I wont be to happy if u use my Kevin Scissorhands or Jodie in a story of your own. (*

After a fun filled day of reading, Jodie was ready to head back to her house. She was very proud of how quickly Kevin had caught on with his reading. He was also talking a lot more, better too. He was very smart, and really-

"Jodie;" Kevin began to say, but she looked out the window and heard the pounding and knew what he wanted to say. His dark shaded eyes flicked to her then to the window and back.

"I don't think I should go, I mean just yet," she said as she looked back at his towering figure.

"You can stay.all night if you really need to." He stated. A loud crack of thunder sounded, Jodie jumped and Kevin calmly nodded up towards the ceiling. A tree scraped the nearest window, and she jumped again. Kevin smiled.

"Come on, follow me," he said as he indicated with his head up the vast staircase behind him. Jodie had never been up there, and Kevin sensed her fear.

"Its ok, come on," he said again as he flicked his head upstairs. Fumbling with her fingers, she obediently followed.

As she followed him up the stairs, she noticed his height a lot more, and began to think. she was running away from home to meet this stranger in a dark mansion on a hill. What her parents of must thought. to bad her brother and sister didn't care. Her parents had been very young when she was born; she had been given up and placed with her step siblings. Her half- brother and sister hated her, about as much as they had hated her mother. But she didn't care; nobody else would, but maybe-

A loud startling crack of thunder and lighting snapped her back into reality and her fear of storms. She jumped backwards, almost falling down the few stairs she'd climbed. But something caught her.

One of Kevin's arms had her around the back, and then she realized she was holding onto one of his sharp, cold shears. His reflexes were amazingly quick. She found up next to him she wasn't scared anymore. Even though this mysterious guy seemed very dangerous, but she felt so protected. He led her with cold blades up the rest of the way many flights of stairs.

At the top was a huge room, with a loosely thatched roof, why Kevin looked for shelter up here, she wasn't sure. Rain seeped through all of the little holes and fell to the floor freely. And there was a huge hole in the middle to top it all off, rain poured from here harder than ever. Then she noticed Kevin was still trying to move and he tugged lightly to urge her onward. He was sort of facing her and still smiling.

Even though they were soaking wet, he led her to a comfy looking corner that was shielded from the rain. She plopped down next to him on the floor next to the wall. He tapped his blades on wet floor. It gave her chills, or maybe it was just because she was so wet. Kevin noticed.

"Cold?" he asked concerned.

"No," she began as an uncontrollable chill over came her. Kevin lowered his head and rose and eyebrow skeptically. He scooted out his feet for a perfect place for her to sit. Normally, she wouldn't of complied, but his charm over whelmed her.

She laid her head on his leather chest, and she was very happy to recognize a heartbeat. She hadn't been sure exactly what he was, but the heartbeat was re-assuring. She shivered again, aware that they were both very wet. Kevin became worried about her uncontrollable chills.

He wrapped his arms around her tightly and she closed her eyes. His blades found her soft hands and she wasn't scared. But she noticed the shears of metal were now warm, very warm. Almost hot. Jodie twisted around to look at Kevin, a little confused. Still fingering the now hot blades, she asked him with her eyes, why?

" Oh, I..I." he answered uneasily. He began shift around like he wanted to shrink away from behind her.

"Um.I- I am..." He seemed to want to not be touching her anymore, especially his lower stomach. And then she knew. She added to the movement by squirming around to her hands and knees to face him. She was now in the path of the rain. It fell on her and coldly dripped through her hair and down her face, and chilled down her back.

"What do you feel?" she asked him openly.

He looked around, still again, but ready to answer. He had never expressed his feelings, but now the perfect girl asked him, he was ready to talk.

" I have feelings in two places." he began uneasily. His eyes flicked downwards to himself and then to Jodie.

"Here." He said his eyes flicking down again.

"And I am wishing that you never will leave." He said, confidence clearly building.

For the first time, she was wanted. For so long had she been tormented by her mean half-siblings, and when she had finally thought she had found a friend, she was just putting her up to a trick But now, here sat a freakish guy who claimed he wanted her to be beside him, forever. And then she saw past his tall, scary stature, freaky leather outfit, crazy hair, and razor sharp blades of metal for hands. He was really a beautiful person, the thing she had been hesitating to think for a while.

"I don't want these feelings to ever go away from me either." he said, still looking at Jodie, not afraid.

"Neither do I," she said quietly. Kevin realized that she was still afraid of him, maybe his image, but he knew that she understood him. What he was. Another uncontrollable shiver came over her. She wanted to stop, but wasn't sure if it was the bitter cold of the rain, or the fear of what she had just said. But it all drifted away as Kevin moved her hands off the ground so they were both sitting on their knees facing each other, in the pouring rain. He didn't care what people thought about him, the outside. But, he didn't want her to fear him. He wanted someone, for the first time, he wanted someone.

"Please," Kevin began but he just embraced her.

Jodie finished for him, feeling the same.

"Don't leave me."

Jodie closed her eyes and even though the rain soaked her, Kevin knew that it was a tear that fell down her cheek onto his strong chest.

Kevin took over and kissed her. After being alone for as long a he could remember, he knew what to do. Surprised, Jodie tensed up and sensing it Kevin whispered,

"I won't hurt you." He kissed her again and she accepted it. She wished the first person who truly liked her would never let go.
