Chapter two
I was in Port Angeles the next day, window shopping. I wish I had some actual money so I could do some actual shopping. But no.
I wandered the streets for a few minutes and then I saw something. "hey, ohmygosh!" I said to no one in particular. "It is – but I can't be." Then he turned around. "Ohmygod it is!"
I ran to him and wrapped my arms around him "Jazzy! I thought I'd never see you again."
He kissed the top of my head and laughed. "only saw you not even 24 hours ago." I pulled away from him and looked at him. He saw the mark on my face were my mom has struck me the night before. He stroked it and I mouthed 'ow.' "What happened, sweetie?"
I couldn't tell him the truth. I laughed a little and said, "last night when you guys dropped me off, I was in such a hurry to get home and I opened the door so fast that I hit my face with it."
"Silly girl," he said before he kissed it.
When he pulled away, I saw that there was a girl standing behind him with her arms crossed. "Jasper," she said maliciously "What the hell are you doing? Kissing another girl? How could you?"
I felt like I was going to cry. "Who are you?" I whispered as the tears began to fall. Jazzy wrapped his arms around me, but I backed away.
"I'm his girlfriend," she answered.
"Jazzy," my voice shook because I had really started to cry, "how could you?" I covered my face with my hands and just cried. I heard Jazzy's voice talk to that girl.
"Maria. How many freaking times do I have to tell you? We. Are. OVER!"
She laughed. "Silly Jasper, Silly, silly Jasper. What did I tell you? You'd come back to me. But no, you picked up a whore, who isn't even pretty."
Was it true? Was I really a whore? My mom calls me that and now this girl – Maria – is calling me one too. I must be a whore. I cried harder.
"Ya know, Maria, your right one that one," I heard Jazzy sad. Great I was a whore. I couldn't help the little sob that came out of my mouth. "Alice isn't pretty. That would be an understatement. She's the most beautiful girl in the world."
I uncovered my face and looked up, smiling a little. "Really?" I asked. Jazzy looked at me and nodded.
"God, Jasper," the girl said, "I can't believe you. You're dumping me for…for her? Your gonna miss me Jasper. Your gonna wish you never dropped me. And ya know what? I'm not coming back next time." She ran away crying. I wrapped my arms around Jazzy.
"Ya know there's only one good thing about Maria, she's an amazing actress," he said, wiping his hand across my cheek. "Don't cry, babe."
I smiled and changed the subject. "So…what are you doing in Port Angeles?"
"Trying to find a job," he said. "I literately have $20 to my name. And what if I wanted to take you out for dinner? You'd have to settle for fast food, and a beautiful angel like you deserves much more than that"
I felt myself blush. "Any luck with that?" OMG my voice was so high. "Finding a job, I mean."
"Nah, I was actually thinking of going to Sequim or something."
Suddenly, an idea came into my head. I knew someone, Chandini, who owned Getta Zone. "You don't have to. Come with me." I took him by the hand and pulled him down the street to Getta.
"Here?" He asked. "Are they hiring?"
"No," I said, smiling as I opened the door. I pulled Jasper to the cash register. "Chandini!" I said. I pulled Jazzy forward. "My boyfriend is looking for a job. Can he have one here?"
She looked at him "Well, lucky for you, Darren just quit. You're hired.
"What?" He said. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah. Just promise me one thing? Don't break Little Ali's heart."
Jazzy looked at me. "I promise. I wont ever hurt her." He looked back at Chandini. "Thank you."
"You can start tomorrow. 11:30. Is that good with you."
"That's fine. See you." I took Jazzy's hand and pulled him out the door. I stopped suddenly and looked at him.
"You mean it? You'll never hurt me?" I felt like crying out of happiness.
"Not only that, I'll make sure that anything that causes you pain is destroyed." Suddenly, almost in a way that I couldn't understand, his lips were on mine. I kissed him back. When I pulled away, he looked at me and said, "And, I said I'd take you out to dinner when I had enough money. But I honestly don't think I can wait that long. Were would you like to go?"
"No, Jazzy, you don't have to. I –"
He cut me off. "Alice, I promised I was going to take you out and that's what immona do. Were do you wanna go?"
I took his hand and began pulling him down the street. I was starting to fall in love with him…
