Hey guys! Thank you so much for reviewing! I met my goal of 150 reviews so lets try to make it 200! Sound good? Enjoy!
Jack Pov
After I got home from dinner, I threw myself onto my bed and sighed.I felt so bad for Kim. I didn't kiss Kelsey, Kelsey kissed me! I didn't want to, nor did I enjoy it. Well, I guess now she gets to see how it feels for me every time she kisses Milton. Kim's mad at me now. What am I supposed to do? I have to make this right. I have to apologize to Kim and get her back.
Knock knock knock.
I looked up to see Milton standing at my door.
"What do you want Milton?" I said rather harshly.
"Jack, what's wrong? Didn't you have fun tonight?" He asked wholeheartedly. He walked over to my bed and sat next to me.
I sighed. I had to tell him how I felt about Kim. "Milton I-"
"I mean I saw that lip action between you and Kelsey." He said and nudged me with his elbow.
"Yeah but I don't like her like that. I like someone else." I confessed. I was really going to do this. I was going to reveal mine and Kim's relationship.
Milton seemed surprised."Who do you like?" He asked excitedly.
I took a deep breath. "Milton I like-"
"What are you doing up?" I heard my evil "mother" say.
"Sorry mother, we were just talking." Milton said nicely.
"Oh that's okay Milton. Just go wash up and head to bed." She said sweetly. Milton nodded and ran out of the room.
She turned to me. "I thought I said be in bed by 11:00. It's quarter past 11:00." She said harshly.
"I'm sorry mother. I was just-"
She slapped me across the face. "I don't want your excuses. Go to bed." She said rudely and walked out of the room, slamming the door.
Kim Pov
After dinner, I ran upstairs to my bedroom and slammed the door shut. I flopped onto my bed and screamed into my pillow. Was Jack in a relationship with her now? I thought he liked me! I looked at the clock. 11:00pm. I got out of bed and changed into sweatpants and a hoodie. I put my hair up in a bun then ran to the bathroom to wash my makeup off. Then I ran back to bed and snuggled in my bed. Jack and Kelsey's kiss kept replaying in my mind; I tried to push the thought away but I couldn't. I had to know where Jack and I stood. I finally shook the thoughts out of my head and drifted off to sleep.
I woke up the next morning feeling awful. It was almost 11:30 when I got out of bed. I walked over to my window and peeked through the curtains.
It was a rainy day. There was a thick layer of clouds blocking the sun and puddles of water were forming in the streets. The rain was coming down hard. It was the perfect weather to match my mood.
I ran downstairs and noticed that my parents weren't home. I noticed a piece of paper by the stove and picked it up. It was from my mother.
Kim,
Sorry for leaving you home alone. Your father is at work and I ran out to meet with the wedding planner. Aren't you excited? Don't worry, it'll be perfect! When I get home you must tell me how the dinner with Milton went!
XOXO - mother
Oh yeah, the wedding. The thing that is causing so many problems in my life. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
I decided to make myself breakfast. I wasn't very hungry; I was usually never hungry when I was upset, so I just grabbed a donut and poured myself a cup of coffee. I decided to eat on my front porch and enjoy the gloomy weather.
I sat on the wooden porch swing and set my coffee and donut down on the table next to it. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the rain.
Pitter patter pitter patter.
"Kim!"
That doesn't sound like rain. I thought to myself.
I noticed a strange figure running towards my house. The object was hard to make out through the heavy rain. I got up off the swing and walked into the rain, hoping to get a better look.
My clothes were already getting soaked and my hair was sticking to my face. My makeup wasn't smearing because I had washed it off the night before. The obscure figure was getting closer but it was still hard to make out. I walked down my driveway and into the street. Not many cars were out because of the heavy rain. The figure ran towards me and that's when I noticed...
it was Jack.
"Kim!" He yelled out again.
"Jack?" I said, making sure my observation was correct.
He finally reached me. The rain was still coming down heavy. We were both soaked.
I was extremely confused. "Jack, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I came to make things right." He replied, panting from his long run.
"Well why didn't you get a ride or drive over here?" I questioned.
"Kim, I couldn't have someone drive me over here without getting suspicious about us." He said. He reached forward and grabbed my hand. I yanked it away.
"Jack, there is no 'us' anymore. You're with Kelsey now." I practically yelled at him. The rain was still coming down hard. I turned around and started walking back to my house.
Jack grabbed my arm and spun me around, making me face him again. "Well now you know how it feels when I see you kiss Milton. It kills me; knowing he can kiss you and I can't." He softened his tone. "Kim, Kelsey kissed me. I didn't enjoy it; not one bit. Not like when I'm kissing you." He explained.
"Jack, you've kissed me once." I reminded him.
"Yes. And it was the most incredible moment of my life." He said.
I started feeling butterflies and I could feel my face getting red. I had to be strong. I had to let go of my feelings for Jack and accept the fact I was going to marry Milton. I could feel tears starting to build up and a few slipped down my cheeks.
I tilted my head down and looked at my feet. "Jack- I can't do this anymore." I could feel more tears slipping away.
"Do what?" He asked.
"Be with you. I'm getting married in less than a year. I'm marrying your brother! My mother hates you! It won't work out! Just face the fact that we can never be together! My mother wants me to marry Milton. I have to." I explained, a few more tears slipping away.
Jack looked angry. "Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?" He asked.
His words reminded me of The Notebook. The scene where Allie and Noah were fighting. That day when Jack and I almost kissed. All of these memories started flooding into my mind. The first night we met, the picnic, the lake, the night we snuck out, watching movies, shopping, our first kiss, the dinner, Jack and Kelsey's kiss, and now our argument. I needed Jack.
"What do you want?" He asked again.
I ran up to him and flung my arms around his neck and kissed him. Warmth radiated through my body, just like the last time we kissed. I pulled away.
"You." I said. "I want you."
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in for another kiss. This is where I belonged- with Jack. I needed him and he needed me.
He pulled away. "You belong with me." He whispered into my ear. I chills down my spine. The good kind.
I looked into his big brown eyes and he stared back into mine. It was still pouring outside, but I didn't care. I was with Jack and that was all that mattered.
I smiled at his comment and he smiled back. He pulled me into a hug. Despite the dampness of his clothes, I still felt warm. I felt safe and protected.
He pulled away again. This time, he wasn't smiling. His face was serious. "Kim." He started.
"Yeah?" I asked, anxious to hear what he had to say.
"Kim. I want you to know that I lo-"
BOOM!
I jumped and screamed.
Jack started laughing. "Kim, it's just thunder!" He laughed.
I laughed at how ridiculous I must've looked.
"Come on. Lets go inside and dry off. No ones home." I said.
He put his arm around my shoulder and we walked back to the house in complete bliss.
There's chapter 11! Sorry if its a little cheesy and cliche. I was listening to a sappy love song as I wrote this so I kinda got inspired. I think this chapter deserves a lot of reviews because I worked so hard on it! And if you have any ideas for the story (nothing to do with the ending or plot, but cute filler ideas) just let me know! So review and stay tuned for chapter 12! :)
