Chapter 3
The next morning I woke up, Jamie squirming in my arms. "What's wrong?" I asked, gently shaking her awake.
She sat up, breathing heavily, "Nightmare…" she said, I hugged her.
"You want to talk about it?" I asked. She had started crying again, clutching my shirt for dear life. I felt her nod against my chest.
"Adam was there and it went the same until after he raped me and I was trying to get back to you. I saw you lying on the sidewalk like you were when he dragged me off and I saw him standing over you, with a knife. He killed you." She explained I gripped her tighter, rocking her against me.
"I'm sorry, none of this should have happened to you," I cried. "if it weren't for me, none of this would've happened."
That got her attention, she looked up at me, "Greg, that's not true!" she said.
I shook my head, "Yes, it is. If you didn't hang out with me, if you weren't my friend, he wouldn't have bothered you. He wouldn't have hurt you, he wouldn't have raped you. How can you not blame me for that?" I asked, crying.
She wrapped her arms around me again. "Because it's not your fault. I'm glad I'm your friend. I hated it when everyone made fun of you. I wanted to be your friend and I'm never going to regret that, Greg." She smiled.
I don't know what came over me, but I leaned down and gently kissed her. "I'm sorry," I said, pulling away, turning my head.
"No, Greg." She said, turning my head back towards her. "Don't be sorry," she kissed me lightly, a kiss which I returned.
I smiled, and for the first time since Adam attacked us I saw her old smile return. "Jamie…" I managed to say through my smile.
"Why do you think I didn't fight Adam?" she asked as calmly as she could.
I thought for a moment, "You said that he said he'd kill me if you did, and you protected me, and I need to thank you for that," I remembered.
She smiled again. "No thanks needed, I'd do it again if it meant you'd be okay. I didn't want him to hurt you anymore because I love you," she admitted.
I kissed her again, "I love you, too, Jamie," I said, with more happiness than I've had in a while.
Just then a nurse came in to tell us we could leave. Due to the fact that my father was now incarcerated, my mother had been dead for three years and my older sister was away at college, I realized that there was no one at my house anymore so I asked Jamie if I could stay with her.
"Of course you can!" she said, I smiled.
She took my hand and leaned against me as we walked outside. Luckily our houses weren't too far away from the hospital so we could walk there.
There's still more to come! Review Please!
