Jared and Kim

Chapter 13

I woke up the next morning, I feel like it should be a crime for me to be up. When I check the time it is 7:30. I have to get up.

Ugh, I regret talking to Jared for so long. He didn't leave till one in the morning. I got up, not wanting to but knew I had too. I went through my normal morning rituals. I dressed better, even better then the first time I started to care how I looked.

I walked down the steps, hearing every other step creak with my weight on it. When I came in view, I saw Claudia's mouth drop. I chuckled, I'm the one who normally does that to her, not the other way around. I walked in the kitchen getting a bowl of Cinnamon toast Crunch. I sat down on the stool next to her and started to dig in. I can feel her staring at me. I think she's burning a hole in my head.

"Wow," I heard her say. I looked at her with a skeptical look. I can't look that good, right? Oh please you're a total Hottie! Right now I'm jealous, and I'm basically you.

I finished my cereal. I knew I have to leave, if I don't Claudia is going to be late and my parents would get mad, because she needs to have a future. I don't think my parents don't really care, because I'm a honor student, Claudia isn't, I don't ditch/skip, Claudia does, my attendance is almost perfect, Claudia's looks like she's in the hospital most of the year, and lastly they don't have to worry about boys with me, not that much anyway, Claudia on the other hand is always at the drug store. My parents don't worry about me. My future is undecided I can do anything, but Claudia's is laid out in front of her.

I walked out the door with my oversize bag on one shoulder and popping gum in my mouth. When I step on to my driveway I'm surprised to see a navy blue pickup truck in front of it. I think someone is stalking you! I mean look at those windows there tinted so nobody can see you! Wow. I walk to the passenger and knock on the window, having to jump somewhat, even when I'm in my heels. The window opens. Then I smell the familiar woodsy scent, I absolutely adore. That only means its Jared.

"Jared?" I asked knowing it's him, but being polite, where friends now right? I can faintly her Run this Town by Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna. I can't see him because, I can't look, and I think he can only see the top of my head. He opens the door. I saw him. He was wearing worn out jeans, and a black shirt that hugged his beautiful muscles exotically. I stepped on the little step and kind of jumped in. I was devoured my heat. I felt over dress for this heat, and outside I felt like I was in the ocean. Jared kept on looking at me like the sun is coming out of my ass. I waved my hand in front of his face, nothing happened.

"Jared. Hello. Jared!" I said still waving my hand in front of his face. The only reason I'm able to do this is because I'm sitting in the passenger seat, with the door open. The cold breeze feels like a hot summer day, when I'm next to Jared. He then came out of his trance.

"Oh sorry…. Do you need a drive?" he asked me, I was just going to take the bus, but the bus just left. I looked at the dashboard wondering if there is any way that I can walk to school and be on time. I looked up to his face, he looked nervous. Maybe it is because I'm taking too long to answer. Just say yes for goodness sake.

"Uh...yeah, thanks," and with that I closed the door and he drove off.

There was little talking. I was just staring out the window, looking for the wolf, which I keep seeing. I might be crazy, for looking for something that can kill me in a matter of 3 seconds. I feel safe just being in front of it though, it kind of feels like right now.

"What are you thinking about?" I look up to his face; I then realize were already at school, he might want me to get out so no rumors go around about him and me. I didn't even notice when my head went back down to stare at my hands.

"Kim?" he asked. I looked at him and was surprised at how close his face was to mine. I wonder how soft his lips are, if our lips fit just right. The heat radiated of him was comforting. My heart rate went up a notch. I'm pretty sure he heard it too. Were supposed to be friends, friends don't kiss each other right? I looked in his eyes, I feel that my heart just melted, I then looked at the bridge of his nose.

"Um… class is going to start soon," I said and got out of the car. I saw his face, and saw sadness in his eyes. Friends aren't supposed to hurt other friends, right? So I need to do something. I noticed that he hasn't moved one inch.

"Hey, Jared… do you want to have lunch with me today?" I asked, that's what friends do all the time. I saw his smile, and I couldn't help but smile back at him.

"Yeah, I'd love it Kim," he called after me. I started to walk away. I shivered, it is so cold, and gosh I wish I can be back in the car. I saw people staring at me, all the boys in awe and all the girls in envy. I gave them a smile and kept walking, feeling the breeze go through my clothes. Then I feel hot hands putting something on my shoulders. I look up to see Jared, and I hold his jacket tighter around me. I then took a whiff of it and smell the woods, so comforting and soothing.

"You know, you shouldn't dress like that in the middle of winter," he told me have a sarcastic tone in it. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah, Yeah, I thought it was warmer," I told him. We stepped in the school and I felt the warm air whoosh right in my face. I took off the jacket, and giving it to Jared, secretly take another whiff of it. I mumbled a thanks and left. I felt him staring at the back of my head.

I went to my locker; I opened it and started to put all of my books and important sheets in my hand bag. I looked at my hair and checked my makeup in the mirror on the side of the door of my locker. Content with how I look. I closed the door, and saw him.

"What do you want Bradley?" I asked getting annoyed, and putting as much venom in my voice. I then realize he is looking up and down me, when he got back to my face I just gave him a smile, but it was a genuine smile, it was more like, now you know what you lost. I turned around, and then he grabbed my wrist and twirled me around. I didn't know what was happening. Next thing I know is that he kissing me full on. He then forces his tongue in my mouth. I didn't know what was happening. I tried pushing him off, he wouldn't budge not one bit. At the corner of my eye I see most kids in the school surrounding us. I tried to push him off again. He still has his tongue in my mouth; he was trying to do a lot of things. I then noticed that he shoved me I against the locker, I hit it hard; I felt the tears coming down. He started to go up my leg. That did it. I bit his tongue hard, feeling blood gushing into my mouth. He backed off, bleeding.

"What the fuck, bitch." I was crying. I spat in his face, seeing all the blood from my mouth on his face. Out of nowhere I see Jared in front of me sorrow in his eyes. He then turns to Bradley, and punches him in the nose. I thought there was a lot of blood before, now it feels like I'm in a horror movie. Then I see black spots clouding my vision, and then it was all black.

X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X

I was on a hard bed. It smelt clean in here, like a hospital, I hear low murmurs, from somewhere in the room. I can still taste the blood in my mouth. I opened my eyes, and saw an old lady wearing white and scrubs smiling at me.

"She's up," the old lady told someone in the room. I feel the heat in my hand, Jared. I looked up to his beautiful face, he had a worried face, is he really that sympathetic about me?

"Ugh, my head hurts," I groaned. He then started to rub my head.

"Kim, I'm so sor…" I put my hand up to his lips to shut him up, I don't want sorry's form him.

"Shh! It's not your fault," I told him, I really just want to go home, but Claudia just left for a trip in Seattle for a few days, and both my parents are working, so I don't know how I'm getting home.

"Can I go home," I muttered, I wasn't even sure if it was audible for anybody to hear.

"Can Kim go home?" Jared asked for me. Damn he must be something different if he can hear what I just said.

"She doesn't have anybody to drive her…" she started and was interrupted.

"I can drive her, it doesn't bug me," Jared told her, I don't know what to be happy with, the fact that Jared is offering and most likely to drive me home, or that I'm going home.

X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X

Jared brought me home, which I'm grateful for. He is making vegetable soup, while I'm on the couch, firmly wrapped in a blanket watching the O.C. and I'm in front of the fireplace.

Jared comes in the living room with a bowl of soup in one hand for me and a bag of Sun Chips in the other hand. He gives me the soup and started to eat slowly, when I look up I see Jared throwing out all the bag of chips, which was party size. Wow I thought last night was just a one time deal, I guess I was wrong.

I finished my soup and he cleaned it up, next thing I know I'm asleep during Gossip Girl.
