A angel in need
Chapter 13: It's more than that
I sat in my room thinking about things...mostly Jack, to tell you the truth. But I'd lie if someone asked.
"I just don't get it. Do I like him,or are we friends? Does he even think of me that way? Doubt it. But then again, think about the almost kiss... Man,why is everything so freakin' confusing?!"
"UGGH!" I screamed in frustration, slamming my pillow against the wall.
"And what about my parents?! How could they,after all they did, and just-just forget about it?! AGAIN! Why is everything so freakin' confusing?!"
This time I kicked the wall, knocking off a picture frame in the process.
The glass splintered into dozens of pieces. I picked it up, dusting off the shards.
It was a picture of Lilly and I at our old dojo, both holding up a trophy. I smiled,thinking back to that day. We had both been partners,and won the trophy together.
"Man, Lilly. If you were here,you'd know what to do..."
It was true,even though Lilly was sometimes scatterbrained ,she always knew what to say.
My brain suddenly flashed back to a memory.
~Flashback~
"Just follow your heart, Kim. If you listen, you can find it," My best friend said, turning back to the dummy.
"I try, but I can't seem to hear it!" I protested. She sighed and looked at me.
"Well maybe it's a challenge to see if you can figure it out on your own. Never run away from a challenge. Because someday, it'll run right back to you." Lilly said, looking me square in the eye.
That was the day I battled my crush for my dojo and won. For my dojo,for Lilly,and for myself. From that day forward, I never ran.
Not from a problem. Not from pain. And never from a challenge. She had lived by that rule,and I still do. Nothing would ever change that.
Nothing.
~End Of Flashback~
I sighed and looked at the picture again. A small tear swept down my cheek. "I miss you Lilly..."
I heard a thump,and a creaking noise. My head whipped around to see Jack jump in my room with a bo staff in his hand.
"KIM! ARE YOU OKA-" He paused. "There's no one else in here."
I nodded, eyeing him weirdly.
"I heard you yell and thumping noises,and I assumed..." He trailed off ,looking embarrassed. I snickered.
"A bowstaff?"
"Hey, I was practicing when I heard the noises," Jack held up his hands in submission.
"You weirdo. But it's okay, I guess you need a laugh every once in a while." I said, beginning to smile with the picture still in my hand.
He walked over and looked at it, placing his hand over mine on the frame.
"Is that Lilly?" He asked quietly. I nodded again, slightly shocked he remembered her.
"Yeah," I whispered.
'She seemed like she was an amazing friend." I nodded once more, tears threatening to spill.
"She was," My voice was starting to crack. Jack put his arm around me, sitting both of us down on my bed.
I leaned against his shoulder for a few moments before speaking.
"Lilly was the first friend I ever had, and for the most part, the only friend I ever had. Whenever one of us got bullied, we stood up for each other. I remember one time, this guy I thought I was in love with cheated on me, and Lilly kicked his ass in front of the entire school."
Jack chuckled, pressing me closer. I sighed.
"She was the only one who really got me, you know? Was the same kind of weird I was. And without her I feel so ... small and worthless... like a failure."
There was a moment of silence, then Jack said softly. "Someone once told me that no man is a failure who has friends." I looked away.
"That's just a quote from a happy fairy-tale ending movie." Jack put his hand under my chin,tilting my face back to his.
"It's more than that," he said, barely over a husky whisper.
"If one person thinks you're worth the entire world, you are. Don't let masses of ignorant, selfish people degrade you." His dark eyes delved into mine. It felt like he was looking straight at my heart, my soul.
"Why not? Why not let the whole world remind me I suck, and just live with it?"
He leaned in closer, his face mere centimeters from mine. My heart started beating faster.
"Because you don't suck. You're not worthless. And you aren't small, you're beautiful." With that he leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine.
I felt a burst of euphoria, a feeling unlike anything I've ever experienced. Warm and comforting, but at the same time full of passion.
Well, I guess in a way nothing like this has ever happened to me before.
I kissed him back, deepening the kiss for a few moments before breaking off, giggling.
Jack's eyes were filled with happiness. "I know I've just met you... but I think you're the most fantastic girl in Seaford... and will you... be my girlfriend?" He asked, biting his lip nervously.
I laughed, locking my hands around his neck. "Yes, I will." His grin broadened.
"Great,"
"This dweeb's so adorable, it's almost too much to bear... "
As we leaned in for another kiss, I head a THUMP!
My eyes went wild when I heard footsteps pounding up the stairs. That meant only one thing.
My parents were home.
"Oh shit."
