Chapter 8- Modern Love
In the past two weeks my newfound friendship and relationship have blossomed a lot. Alex isn't the bad-ass that everyone thinks she is, Marco isn't the boring gay guy, Ellie isn't the helpless cuter, and Jimmy isn't some rich snob. I'm seeing a whole new side of Jay that I've never seen before. I'm seeing the loving caring Jay that's hidden behind his rough exterior and bad-ass life style. My Mom is starting to see him as more of a person that a stereotype.
Jimmy should be getting out of his wheel chair today. Alex, Jay, Marco and I are in the waiting room hoping for good news from the doctor.
"Emma," Alex said.
"What's up."
"You don't think Jimmy being out or still in the wheel chair is going to change anything in out relationship do you?"
"Well, if he's still in it no, if he gets out then a lot can change you'll be able to do things with him that you haven't been able to do."
"Like what?"
"Like this," Jimmy said picking her up and swinging her.
"Jimmy your."
"Finally out of that chair from hell." They shared a kiss and he put her down. " I can't exactly get back to basketball but at least I can walk."
We all headed back to Jimmy's for a celebration Barbecue. While the guys made stuff to eat the girls (includes Marco) went swimming.
"I'm bored what do you guys want to do," Jimmy said as we finished eating.
"I want marshmallows," I said out of no where
"Yum, marshmallows sounds good," Marco agreed
"I think I might have some," Jimmy says walking into the kitchen. We all fallow.
"So do you have any," I ask.
"Yup," Jimmy says pulling them out of the cabinet.
"Yum," Alex says.
"Here," Jimmy says attempting to throw it at her but misses and it hit Marco.
"HEY," Marco yells.
Throws another this time hitting me. "Jimmy!"
"Get over it Nelson. Catch this time."
"I can't catch."
"Here let me help," Jay says grabbing a marshmallow and shoving it in my mouth.
"OW!"
"All is fair in love and marshmallows," Says Jimmy laughing.
"Oh really," Alex says grabbing a hand full of marshmallows and shoving them down his pants.
"Suck on that."
"ALEX!"
"You said all was fair."
"She's right you did say that," Jay replies with a smirk
"Ha Ha shut up," Jimmy says throwing a marshmallow at Jay.
"Shit," Jimmy says as he does a really bad job of shaking them out. "Ugh." Then he pulls off his
pant revealing his red swim trunks.
"Nice Jimmy very nice," Alex says with a smile.
"Okay next time just keep the marshmallows to yourself," Jimmy says with an odd look. "Oh hell no."
"What," I ask shoving a few marshmallows in Jay's mouth.
"That is soo wrong. There's a marshmallow where it doesn't belong."
"Nice rhyme Jimmy but what are you talking about," Asks Marco.
"There is a marshmallow." Jimmy says pointing to his crotch. We all burst out into laughter.
"Oh you think it so funny do you Alex," Jimmy asked turning around to free himself of the
marshmallow. We all laugh harder.
"Now who's laughing," Jimmy asks shoving the marshmallow he just pulled out of his pants into Alex's mouth.
"JIMMY," I screamed. "That is so wrong."
"Oh come on she KNOWS she wanted it."
"Eww did not," Alex says spitting it in the sink. "I need a breath mint."
"It's okay I'll still love you even if your breath smells as bad as Spinner's farts."
Soon after that we all fell asleep in Jimmy's living room. Alex and Jimmy on the couch, Marco and Dylan, who later showed up in the chair, Ellie on the floor and Jay and I in the other chair. If someone would have told me a year ago that this is how my life would be I would have laughed in their face. But now that it's happening I want to live every minute of it.
AN: I'm going to have other peoples thoughts as well not just Emma's.
Alex-
Jimmy woke me up at about four saying that he couldn't sleep. SO WHAT, just because you can't sleep doesn't mean you have to wake me up.
"Alex come on," Jimmy said shaking me. "Wake up."
"Jimmy do you know what time it is? It's four a.m. I'm not getting up."
"I can't sleep."
"Ugh, fine I'm up what do you want?"
"Wanna go to my room," Jimmy asked with a slight smile.
"Jimmy, it's too early or late whatever but we can't"
"Why not."
"Cause, cause, because we can't."
"And why is that?"
"Jimmy we can wait right," I asked feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Sure. But still do you wanna go to my room and watch a movie or something?"
"Uh sure." We walked up the stairs and went into his room. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. "So what movie do you want to watch," I asked sitting on his bed.
"I dunno. Pick something. I have pretty much every movie ever."
"Ummm how about The Ring. I haven't seen it."
"You sure? It's pretty scary. I went to see it with Hazel and Marco and they pretty much were scared to death."
"Your comparing me to Hazel, the preppy cheer leader and Marco, who's afraid of bees."
"I guess your right."
"Besides if I do get scared I have you to protect me."
"Yes you do," He said putting the movie in and hugging me.
As the movie started I have to admit I was a bit scared. I kept grabbing on to Jimmy's leg and digging my nails into it.
"Alex calm down before you put a hole in my leg."
"Oh sorry."
"It's okay. Why don't we turn this off so you don't have nightmares?"
"Oh now your tired. I'm all awake and now you want to go to sleep."
"Sorry."
"It's okay," I said kissing his cheek and getting up to turn the light off. I returned to the bed and laid next to Jimmy.
"Alex"
"Huh?"
"You rock."
"Thanks... I think."
He wrapped his arm around me and we soon fell asleep.
