Rob's Eyes, Chapter 4! WOOHOO! I'M ACTUALLY UPDATING!

First, I want to explain for why I haven't updated. For a while, I was going through a lot of drama- a different friend/family issue a week, it seemed. Then I had school and my own issues, and finally, I wasn't getting a lot of positive feedback and some of it made me mad. Like, people who flame you EVEN THOUGH they don't post their own stories for others to critique. Anyways, I've been catching up on a lot of stories, and after reading a few, I've got some motivation to finish Rob's Eyes (at least...HOW many do I have out again, JJ?)

Second, I just want to put this out there because it's been bugging me, and sorry if I sound like a prima donna or whatever, but...I WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO MAKE JAKE (IN THE MEDIATOR SERIES) A MEDIATOR AS WELL! I know, I know, it's so insanely stupid to want rights to this one little thing, but IT'S MINE! If I can't have ROB, then I'd kind of like this one little thing. So just a little warning for people who wanna claim they were ORIGINAL and made Jake a mediator...Um, no. I WAS ORIGINAL. I ROCK. YOU MIGHT ROCK, BUT I DON'T KNOW YET. PROVE YOUR ROCKING-NESS IN A NEW WAY!

Wow, don't I sound stuck-up? I swear, I'm not. Usually.

Ok, finally, before we get on with this, I realized that the book doesn't say HOW Rob found out that Jess was 16, just that he does. So I have a lot of play with this area. Fun stuff, eh?

Wait, one more thing...(I know, I know, "JUST GET ON WITH IT!") I am planning on writing the rest of the 1800 books in Rob's POV.

Ok NOW the fourth chapter of Rob's Eyes


Rob's POV:

"So, Rob, how'd the rest of your night go?" I heard Chick yell the next morning as I walked in for a cup of coffee before I had to go to work. I grinned, remembering the feel of Jess's lips on mine.

"It was good." I said, knowing how they'd react if I said anymore. "One cup of coffee to go, please." I added, pulling out my wallet.

Chick went about getting me coffee and I tried not to fall asleep on the table.

"Late night, I take it?" I heard Wylie say as he plopped down in a stool on my left.

"Out with Mastriani? Yeah, Wylie, it was real late. How late can sixteen-year-olds stay out again?" Wendell added, leaning against the bar on my right.

"Boys, you don't know a-" I paused, as the information Wendell had leaked filled my brain. SIXTEEN?

"Did- did you say sixteen?" I asked, swallowing. Why had my mouth gone suddenly dry? There was no way Jess was sixteen. I mean, yeah she was short, but so what? That didn't mean anything. She was a junior, right?

"Yeah, man." Wylie said, a sick grin covering his face. "Probably should have checked with the old ball and chain before tappin' that ass."

I couldn't help it. No one talks about Jess- or any woman- like that. I got up and decked him.

And, man, was it beautiful. Wylie's punk ass went flying off his chair, and right into the back of a booth. Thankfully, no one was in the booth.

"What year is she in school?" I asked Wendell, sitting down like nothing had happened. Chick handed me my coffee and I paid, waiting for my answer.

"Sophmore, I think." Wendell said, edging away. I heard Wylie get up behind me. I just nodded and walked out the door.

I slugged the coffee and got on my bike and drove off. I was determined to not think about Jess. There was no way we could be together, not until she turned seventeen, or I was off probation.


Later that night, I sat in my room, listening to "All That I've Got" by The Used. My determination was all but broken.

So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me
Off guard, red handed
Now I'm far from lonely
Asleep I still see you lying next to me
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I..

I need something else
Would someone please just give me
Hit me, knock me out
And let me go back to sleep
I can laugh
All I want inside I still am empty
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I...

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

I guess, I remember every glance you shot me
Un-harmed, I'm losing weight and some body heat
I squoze so hard
I stopped your heart from beating
So deep that I didn't even scream fuck me, I..

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got!

So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me
So deep that I didn't even scream f me

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got

And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got

"Dammit, GET HER OUT OF YOUR HEAD!" I cursed to myself.

"Why?" I spun around and saw Jess standing near my closet. Or, what looked like Jess.

Let me tell you, I don't use drugs, so I was really freaked.

"Um, what?" Yeah, such a great response.

"Why should I get out of your head?"Jess asked, her hands on her hips. "It's pretty interesting in there, actually. More fun than real life."

"But I can't keep thinking about you." I said. I can't believe I'm going to argue with a mirage. "I mean, it won't work out between you and me. I'm eighteen, you're sixteen, and I'm on prob- well, nevermind, what I'm on, but it just won't work."

But Jess just smiled and disappeared.

Oh boy. This is going to be a fun weekend...


Monday morning at school, I didn't see Jess at first. Of course, I didn't know if I wanted too (Well, I did, but I didn't. You get what I'm saying.)

Anyway, it was lunch before I saw her with her friends. I ducked out of the cafeteria before she could see me.

I figured I could go all day without seeing her. Until I remembered detention.

Detention featuring Jess.

Well, hell.


That's all for now, my lovlies. I gotta save something for the rest of the story!

XOXO m/ Rock On,

Kaitie
