Hello guys,
I have some bad news to tell you. I will only be doing one update a day, as it is getting too difficult, and my plots are slipping a bit. Sorry.
Thanks for the reviews; it makes me so happy that people have taken time to comment on my stories.
I don't own anything, so, without further adieu, here is the next part of this story.
Chapter 5: I'm too early
You're chatting to me like we connect,
But I don't even know if we're still friends
It's so confusing understanding you
It's making me not want to do
The things that I know I should do
(Kate Nash-Pumpkin Soup)
She seemed to have a hard time getting her head around the fact that I thought she was attractive.
"Beautiful" she chocked out, like she didn't believe it was true. "Not likely, I'm just me, just plain old Kim."
Where did that come from? She would never be "plain old Kim". She was stunningly beautiful, and she had to know it.
Just when I was about to correct her, she burst out into a furious rant.
"Don't say I'm anything I'm not, because it just isn't kind. I know I'm not pretty, but it isn't nice lying to self-conscious people about their image, it just makes them even worse, and I don't think you really know..." I put my hand over her perfect lips then, to stop the flood of words coming out. She didn't know how mind-numbingly gorgeous she was? She actually thought she was plain?
"Kim, you are beautiful," I said, trying to convince her, "You are absolutely perfect, and don't let anybody tell you that you aren't". I meant it. Every single word. I wouldn't let anyone tell her that she was less than she was.
Then I saw an opportunity. It was probably a stupid idea, but in that moment, it had to be done.
I moved my face closer to hers, moving closer still, until I could feel her sweet breath against my lips.
It was too bad I didn't see it coming, or else I could have saved her from pain.
It was, apparently, too early to be doing that sort of thing with her, as she didn't see me in that sort of way. I must admit, I was incredibly disappointed. Of all the girls that went to our school who would love to be in Kim's position, Kim was the only one who wouldn't.
She raised her hand up, and slapped me full across the cheek. Being a werewolf, it didn't hurt me as it would have done, but my hard face hurt her hand.
"OW" she yelled in pain, and I wished that there was some way to take it away.
I was an idiot, I was going much too quickly for her. It was my entire fault. If I'd waited, if I hadn't rushed into things, then she wouldn't have had to slap me, and wouldn't be in pain. I seriously hated myself for giving my Kim pain.
"Oh no, Kim, are you alright? I'm so sorry, are you ok? Kim?" I rushed out, in a hurry to find out her hurt.
"Shut up, Jared. I don't want pity from you, but what the hell is wrong with you? I mean, at first you ignore me, then the creepy staring at study time, and now you think you have the right to go and kiss me? So what, you think you can just sidle along into my life, play me; see what it takes to get Kim to break? What is your problem? Why are you so tall? Where have you been for two weeks? Do you use hand cream? Why have you got such large muscles? Why do you stare at me? ANSWER ME!!"
My brain was in a flurry, as I tried to figure out everything she had asked me.
Do I use hand cream? Where did that come from?
I realised the gist of the questions. She thought I was talking to her to play a cruel joke. The thought really upset me. I would never do a thing like that, but I guess she didn't know me well enough to know that.
"I...I would never want to hurt you Kim. I'm really sorry I ignored you before, but I was a different person then. You are such an amazing person. I swear to you, none of this is a joke. I really like you and I realize that I need to take time for you to get to know me before I try anything like that again. I'm so sorry. You have to know that. I can't believe I was just so stupid and reckless that I completely just...Urgh! I'm so sorry. I have to go now, but I'll speak to you tomorrow. Sweet dreams, and again, I'm sorry". So there was me, being a wimp, running away when my love asked me a few questions. What sort of person did that make me? I stupid coward. I just turned and walked away.
When I got outside, I just felt like kicking myself for being an idiot. I was usually perfectly smooth with girls, always perfectly polite, and quite a charmer, but now, with Kim, I just kept coming and upsetting her, again and again. I was a useless protector, and she was much better off with someone else, someone who would be able to make her happy. I obviously couldn't do that for her.
Although, I decided that I would finally man up, and fight for her.
Now to tell my mum...
