A/N: Sorry, time is always getting in the way D: ! I am the worst because I post a chapter and then have an awesome idea already formed for the next one in my head. But if I don't start working on it immediately after I get it, it goes away :/ . Its a horrible habit of mine. Again sorry if I kept you waiting.

Chapter 16- Love From Bellow My Window

By love, who first did prompt me to inquire;
He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.
I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far
As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,
I would adventure for such merchandise.

-'Romeo And Juliet' . Act 2 Scene 2, Romeo

The world was going in slow motion. I was fighting to get the words out of my throat

"No!" I yelled.

Wesley grimaced, fighting to keep a positive front. "Kim, calm down. We need to talk about this more rationally. We could really do without the yelling."

"I am not going to fucking New York with them! There is nothing really to talk about. I want to stay here! La Push is my home. " I stood by the breakfast table in front of John.

John sighed and pulled me into a hug. "I know. But I'm sorry, there's nothing that we can really do about it. If they say you have to go then... we can't do anything."

"Calm down Kim." George commanded with a mouthful of sandwich. He, the fat ass in the house, was sitting at the table pigging out. "Breath please."

"Swallow please, before you talk. " I retorted. "You are disgusting. Didn't your parents teach you manners?"

He shrugged, "I don't give a fuck. I'll eat how I want."

"You know, since you don't workout you will eventually get fat?" I smiled at him. It was one of his biggest fears... getting fat.

"Shut up Kim. I got a real good workout last night." He smiled at me. Ewww, I knew that he was talking about being intimate with Hailey. And he knew I knew. This was all too grows. He got up and made his way over to the cupboards. Probably trying to find more food, that fat ass.

Before I could continue this little argument George and I had going on by epicly bagging on him, Wesley put his hand on my shoulder, "I suggest that if you do want to stay, be on your best behavior when they come to visit. Start practicing."

"And when will that be?" Mandy and I asked at the same time.

"Justin said in a couple days. Most likely Friday."

George groaned, "This sucks! Fuck my life, I can't find my bag of Doritos!"

I turned around and saw George had emptied out the cupboards.

Without thinking, I threw the car keys that were still in my hand at him as hard as I could and George flinched harshly as soon as they hit him.

At the same time I heard Mandy's voice in the background.

"George you idiot! This is so not the time!" Mandy complained.

"Ah shit!" George cursed harshly, after the impact of keys hitting head. "What the hell was that, Kim?"

"George go away." I yelled.

"Kim, stop throwing things! Last time I checked you were fifteen, not two years old." John scolded.

"Oh my God!" I was fuming, I bet steam was coming out of my ears. "Why don't you yell at the idiot over there?" I said through clenched teeth, pointing at George. "We are having a huge family fucking crisis and all he can worry about is that he lost his bag of fucking chips!"

"Kim, chill out." George ordered as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Your lucky she didn't throw a potato at you." Mandy said, while sniggering.

I ignored her comment. "George, do you not see that we might be separated? Do you not care about that! Asshole."

"No Kim, you don't understand. It's not that this isn't important." George began, "This is important, really, it's just that you gotta chill. Everything is going to workout."

"Just because you say it's going to workout, doesn't guaranty anything. "

"Why are you being so damn negative? You aren't leaving, so stop freaking out about it! "

I groaned. "What are you talking about? Mom and dad said they're taking us. "

"No. They said they're coming over to ask you if you want to go with them. "

"But they have the final say!" I yelled. I was beginning to get exasperated. It felt like George and I were just going in circles.

"And who's saying that they have already made their choice?"

"Haven't they?"

"Yes..."

It felt like we were on the verge of a breakthrough. I was exited, just a little bit exited.

"Exactly! Face it, Mandy and me are screwed. They are going to come here and try to find any reason for us to go. "

George thru his hands up on the air. "Then don't give them one!"

Holy shit! That was the breakthrough.

"Oh." I said lamely.

God I felt stupid. On epic proportions.

George threw a grin at me. "Geez Kimmy, I always thought you were the bright one. Guess I was wrong. "

I felt a little blush creep up my cheeks. Its all good though, because it was only us two in the kitchen, so no one got to see that. "Shut up. You weren't making any sense... so just- Oh my God just shut up."

"Ah Kim, you're special to me. In a good way. " George commented walking over to give me a hug. He sat down and looked at the table. "Oh! Here are my chips! No wonder I couldn't find them, they were hidden under all the trash."

"Wow." I commented simply and walked out of the kitchen. Ladies and gentlemen, 'The great' George Cohnell.

I made my way into the living room. Mandy was sitting on the couch. "Hey Kim." she said to me.

I gave her a small smile. Damn, I kind of felt ridiculous for being such a brat earlier. From the guilty looks she was giving me I could tell what she was thinking.

"Manders you don't gotta hide anything. I think I know what you are thinking."

She avoided my eyes. "Yeah, bet you do know what I'm thinking... I was thinking that maybe it wouldn't be so horrible, you know moving to New York."

Kim, it could be so good for us if we went. There are sooo many opportunities for us. C'mon! It's New York!" Mandy explained with wild eyes.

I sighed, "Yeah. I know it's New York."

Her bright spirit died a little. "You know you want to be a fashion designer. NYC is like one of the fashion capitals of the world. You could get ahead on your dream career. "

"But I don't want to leave this place. I have so much. "

She looked at ms daringly. "Like Jared Thail?"

I blushed. "He's one of the reasons."

She smirked. "Try the only reason."

"Mandy he is not!" That sounded defensive, even to me.

"Kim you aren't a very good liar."

I sighed in defeat. "Okay he is a big reason," huge reason, "for staying but like I've said, he is not my only reason. I have our brothers, I genially like I here, and I have friends. It's a good life."

Manders was quiet, "... And Jared Thail."

"Yes!" I yelled. "AND Jared Thail."

Mandy smiled, "Kimmy, my dear take a seat." She patted a seat next to her on the sofa. "Its time we speak of matters of the heart."

"Agh," I started to whine. I even tried things like 'Oh look! A flying monkey.' but even that could not distract her. She was as stubborn as I was- Like hello ! We are sisters after all.

"Fine. " I finally complied.

I tried to sit casually, but I could not help the small discomfort I felt. Mandy was going to make this exceptionally torturous. I could feel it.

"You feel strongly about this boy don't you?"

Mandy surprised me. She said it so straight forward, she never did that. She was usually one to beat around the bush.

"Mandy..." I began, cursing my shyness. Its like fuck my life status right now. I knew I was blushing. But I was kind of hoping a miracle would happen and someone would burst through that door and save me.

Mandy grinned. "This is a yes or no question. There are no 'Mandy' s involved in this."

I scowled at her as hard as I could. I wanted to see if my hard staring could actually like a hole through her shirt or something. Like laser vision.

"You still have to answer. "

"Fuck," I muttered. "Yeah.." My gaze shifted to the floor.

"And you guys have been together for like three or four days?"

Hmm, where was Mandy going with this?

I nodded.

She gave her own nod, her way of showing that she understood. "I can see you guys care about each other. And, I mean, I guess you guys look serious about this,"

I smiled internally.

"But..."

Ah fuck. Here comes the 'but'. I somehow knew this was going to happen.

"... Don't you think you guys are moving a little but too fast in this relationship?"

I tilted my head to the side, totally confused.

"Too fast? What do you mean?"

Mandy had her thoughtful-face on; this could not turn out good. "Hold on. Let me ask this, have you two held hands yet?"

I nodded.

"Hmm, and how long did that take to happen?"

"Uh, that's how he ended up asking me out. He was telling me this joke, or I guess you could consider it a pickup line. It was cute." I smiled at the memory. It seemed so distant from now. I bet I had that dreamy look on my face.

Could it really have happened just four days ago?

"I see..." Mandy's voice brought me out of my thoughts. "And you've liked him for how long? Like a year, right?"

...?

"Uh, yeah. I believe so. "

"And he just noticed you. Like he barley started socializing with a freak of nature like you?"

I frowned, clearly not amused by her attempt at comedy. "Mandy, where are you going with this?"

She shrugged. I waited for her to speak again- she was conveniently take a nice, long sip of her lemonade. Finally three minutes later she put down her almost empty glass. Just to be on the safe side I took it from her and took a sip.

Finally she spoke. "Have you guys had sex yet?"

I started choking on air. Luckily I had a bit of Mandy's lemonade left to calm myself down.

"What the fuck?" I managed to choke out.

She started laughing uncontrollably. "I'll take that as a yes?"

I knew she was only joking, but still... What the fuck! Fuck, who asks that !

"No!" I yelled. "What the- why would you ask- who asks that? What?"

"Have you and Jared been intimate-"

"Oh my God ! Please don't say it like that ! You make it sound so dirty." I interrupted. Why I didn't set her straight? I do not really know. Probably because I was really very speechless. And shocked ! Again, who asks that? What kind of girl does she think I am? Shit.

"Mandy ! We haven't had sex yet ! I'm a virgin !"

She shook her head. "Who says you can't be a virgin and intimate at the same time. Sex isn't the only thing that can go down."

I was a little bit embarrassed. Yes I knew that, but I had not actually really thought about it much. Or ever actually.

I finally looked up at her after what seemed like a lifetime. "I'm not like that, and I hope that you don't think that's what I'm like Manders. Like Dude, I'm not like those bunch of whores that go to my school !"

Mandy laughed, "I thought those 'bunch of whores' were your friends."

Ha. I shrugged. "I guess."

"Don't talk about Jordy like that!"

I stuck my tongue out at her.

She rolled her eyes. "Ah, Kimberly Ann, always the mature one." She set her magazine down - I didn't even see she had one - loudly, making me jump. "Now stop trying to change the subject! I know what you are doing."

"OH MY GOD ! Just drop it ! I don't want to talk about this with you, its way too fucking embarrassing." I yelled.

"Fine," she snapped. "I just wanted to tell you to be careful with your heart. And that, you know, I'm hear to talk about anything if you need it."

I instantly felt bad for giving Mandy such a hard time. "Thanks. I'll let you know if I have any questions about intercourse." I cringed a little as I said the word.

"Aww, Kimberly Ann is going soft?" Mandy teased.

Leave it to Mandy to ruin something that was supposed to be a sisterly moment.

"Fuck you Amanda."

She smiled brightly. "Just remember, keep you heart safe, because I really don't want to see it broken."

... ... ...

I had been thinking a lot on the advice Mandy had given me earlier - to try and take it slow and not move to quickly. To make sure that if I was going to fall in love, there had better be someone there to catch me.

'Keep your heart safe, because I really don't want to see it broken.' Her words exactly. Those words kept playing in my head.

I angrily closed my laptop and placed it on my bedside table.

What if she was right? Was she right? Were Jared and I moving too fast into this relationship?

I absolutely hated that I was questioning the decisions I was making. Was I being dumb, stupid... naive, by following my heart?

Fuck it, that's what teenagers do. Right?

Yes.

Jared Thail is who I want. And that's fucking good enough for me.

So for now I was going to let go of those thoughts. Because I didn't want them or welcome them. They were pissing me off.

I let my head hit my pillow and closed my eyes. I felt exhausted. I was also missing Jared.

My eyes were closed and I was starting to drift off. And then, just because the universe can be a little twisted, there was a loud knock at my door. I ignored it for the first three knocks. Then it stopped.

I smiled lazily... That is until there was another fucking knock at my door.

For the love of unicorns and glitter !

I got up from my bed grumpily and walked to open my door, nearly tripping on some sketching pencils I had left on the floor by my sketching table nearly tripping on the rug.

Before I got to my door, Hailey opened it.

Okay rude...?

"Sorry for just opening the door, but I did knock a couple times." Hailey smiled sheepishly.

Ah whatever, let it go Kim.

"It's cool... I guess."

"Yeah, so I decided to you know stop by and see what's up."

I smiled, "Well not much. I was just thinking."

"About your hunky boyfriend?" Her smile grew wider.

Should I be worried that I didn't like her calling Jared hunky?

"His name is Jared... and yeah, kind of..." I trailed off feeling awkward.

"Hmm." She paused for a second - it looked like she was processing that. "There's no shame in that. Now, where is Jared? What's he up to?"

"He's probably with Sam or Paul." I decided to sit in my rolley desk chair and Hailey walked around my room, checking out my walls and pictures.

Hailey stopped and picked up the bear Jared won for me. "Sam? As in Sam Uley?"

Well damn, she asked a lot of questions.

I nodded.

"Interesting. How long have you guys been together?"

Why the hell does she want to know? And seriously, what's with the Twenty Questions ?

"A couple of days..."

She put my bear down and once again smiled at me. Wow she smiles a lot.

"Hey Kim." I heard George from outside my door. "Is Hailey in here?"

Before I could answer him, Hailey spoke. "Yeah babe, I'm in here!"

George let himself in. "Babe I've been looking for you all over the place."

"Sorry. It's just that I really wanted to come and say hi to Kimmy."

I cringed at the name 'Kimmy'.

Seriously, what the hell was it with this girl. Was she really that damn interested in knowing about my relationship with Jared?

"- So yeah we'll just leave you be Kim." George said.

I then realized George had been talking to me... and I had been ignoring him.

Ooops !

... ... ...

It was nearly midnight and I was still awake in my pj's working with some pastels on my sketching table. I wasn't the only one still awake though - I could hear John and Wesley in the living room with their friends, watching some boxing match. Mandy was most likely sleeping or downstairs, and George had left with Hailey a couple minutes ago.

Since it was pretty quiet upstairs I most defiantly heard the annoying sound a phone makes when it vibrates against furniture. Especially my phone.

Are you awake ? - Jared

I smiled and my heart fluttered a little. God, when did I become such a 'girl'.

I shuttered when I began comparing my behavior to how Lissette would act. Ugh, I pray and hope that I never, ever, become like her.

I replied quickly, Yes - Kim

Twenty-one seconds later my phone began vibrating again. This time I had an incoming call... from 'Boy You Slow Dance With'

I could only guess that was Jared. When did he change his name on my contacts?

I laughed at the silly name and then sighed as I remembered slow dancing with him.

"Hello?" I answered into the my phone.

"Kim." I could hear a smile in his voice. Speaking of his voice, it made my legs feel like jello.

"Yeah." I said lamely.

There was a quiet pause. Which I interrupted. "Hey, 'Boy You Slow Dance With'. "

He laughed and it made me feel all warm inside. "You like the name? I changed it last night. Was that okay?"

I smiled "Yeah. Don't worry about it."

Suddenly a thought came to me: When was I going to tell Jared about the possibility of me moving to New York?

"So what are you up to? God, I fucking missed you all day. I wish I could've spent the day with you, its just that I had some work to do." Jared spoke smoothly.

I smiled and blushed. "Um, nothing. I was just doing some sketching. And yeah I know how you feel." I admitted shyly. "I missed you a lot too."

He sighed, it made a funny noise with the receiver. "Oh good! I didn't want to sound like the weird and overly clingy boyfriend."

I laughed and sighed. "Well f.y.i you aren't overly clingy."

"So I'm perfectly clingy?"

"Yes."

There was a brief pause.

"I miss you." I whispered into the phone.

"Me too. I miss you so much."

"I'm not being overly clingy?" I asked.

"Not one bit"

I walked towards my bed, "So where are you? What are you doing?"

There was the sound of a car passing by. "Well I was walking around but now I'm sitting on the floor. Outside the most beautiful girl in the world's house."

"And who would that be?" I squeaked out.

"You. I'm outside, in your backyard."

As quickly as I could, I made my way outside my balcony. And sure enough, there he was.

Immediately my heart started beating erratically and there was a smile on my face.

"Hi." I said stupidly, still speaking into my phone.

"Hi beautiful."

My blush covered my face instantly.

"I wish I could be closer to see you blush."

"Where did you learn to be so smooth?" I teased him.

He laughed. "I didn't learn it anywhere. I was born with it. Either you got it or you don't, love."

"Nice."

"You look nice... By the way I absolutely love your froggy pajamas."

"Shut up! You're going to make my face permanently red."

The sad thing was that I really did fear having my face being permanently red.

"It's adorable." He chuckled.

"So what are you doing out so late Mr. Smooth?" I asked with honest curiosity.

He shrugged. "I just wanted to see you before I went to sleep, sue me."

My heart skipped a beat.

"Do you think you can stay tonight?" The question slipped out on accident.

He sighed loudly. "I wish I could, but I kind of have to go home tonight."

"Oh." I tried to not let the disappointment in my voice too evident.

"I wish I could though. I really want to."

"It's okay Jared."

"I really wish I could kiss you."

I sighed. "Me too."

Jared abruptly stood up. "Fuck it."

"What are you doing?" I asked quickly.

He laughed. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm going up there to kiss you."

And then the line went dead.

I was amazed by his climbing skills. I don't know how he did it but he managed to get on the outside railing of my balcony.

"Be careful!" I whispered.

"Please, I bet I could do this in the middle of a tornado and still survive." He set his feet carefully under the railings to keep his balance there. I prayed that he wouldn't fall.

"When did you learn to climb walls like Romeo?"

He shrugged.

I moved closer, to stand in front of him.

Jared stared into my eyes for the longest time I could ever remember. It felt intense, being under his gaze. It was one of those moments, where - as cheesy as it sounds - where the world stops and its just you and that one other person.

I could see his face perfectly, even if it was dark outside. The only light was coming from the moon and the twinkling string of lights decorating the outside of Mandy's balcony door. It was enough to see him clearly - his beutiful eyes and the faint scar by his eyebrow he aquaired last year in a nasty fight, his soft russet skin, his strong jaw line, and his soft warm lips that were curled into a breath taking smile.

In all senses of the word, Jared Thail was beautiful.

"Jared..." I whispered.

"Oh, speak again, bright angel! For thou art, as glorious to this night, being o'er my head."

I paused. "What?"

"As is a winged messenger of heaven unto the white-upturned, wondering eyes of mortals that fall back to gaze on him. When he bestrides the lazy pacing clouds and sails upon the bosom of the air." He continued.

What ?

I was trying to piece together what he was saying. Words like 'art' and 'o'er' sound so Shakespearian. So like... Romeo and Juliet? Oh!

Jared gave me a crooked smile, I bet he himself saw the lightbulb go off above my head.

"Oh Romeo, Romeo !" I whispered. "Wherefore art thou Romeo?"

"But soft ! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief that thou maid art far more fairer than she." Jared whispered in the night.

I felt butterflies in my tummy.

"I don't think we said those lines in the correct order..." I smiled shyly at him.

He shrugged. "I don't care. They sounded better the way we said them anyways."

"To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, as daylight doth a lamp. Her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing and think it were not night."

The butterflies were now full on attacking my insides.

"See the words do sound a lot better like that. Romeo should be following my example."

I giggled lightly. "Wow. When did you become so poetic?"

"I've always been poetic."

I rolled my eyes. "No you haven't."

"Yes I have. You've just never seen me like that before - you bring out the best in me."

Smooth Jared. I could feel the sudden rush of heat to my face. Fuck I hated looking like a fucking tomato.

I felt a pang of sadness. What if I really did have to leave? Would I be able to say goodbye to Jared? I really didn't want to think about it right now, but it was unavoidable.

"What's wrong, Kim?" His warm hand came in contact with my cheek and I instinctively leaned into his touch - I felt sparks go off. "Is my poetry really that bad?"

I carefuly shook my head.

"What's the matter then?"

I sighed, "I have something to tell you..."

Jared looked scared for the tinniest of seconds.

"Oh... "

"Yeah." I was really not looking forward to telling him.

His hand was still on my cheek, stroking it gently.

I really didn't want to do this ! It could ruin everything between us.

"I might be moving to New York." The words came out slowly and very low, but I was almost certain Jared heard them.

We stood there silent for five minutes. But it felt like fucking forever. This was exactly what I had been afraid of. I knew it was going to ruin us. I should've waited longer.

"Can you please say something." I pleaded.

"Wow... I really wasn't expecting hearing that. I should've known though. I mean it's never a good thing to hear the words, 'I have to tell you something'." He let out a shaky breath, fanning my face in the process.

"Just give me a second, please."

I wanted to cry. "I don't want to move though. I want to stay here... I want to be with you."

Fuck if I cared that I sounded like a clingy girlfriend.

Tears were starting to come out, and I immediatly felt Jared's arms envelope me in his warmth. I realized he had already hopped over the railing. He hugged me tightly and I never wanted him to let go of me.

"Kim everythings going to be all right. Please don't cry." His words were soothing enough to help me control my sobs, but the tears still flowed freely.

"I don't want you to move either, Kim." His voice came out strangled and it broke my heart. "I need you... more than anything else. But don't worry, we'll figure something out." It sounded more like he was trying to convice himself.

Suddenly he cupped my face gently, and placed a sweet and tender kiss on my lips.

"I promise Kim, I won't let anything separate us." Jared whispered fiercely, his voice full of confidence and promise.

And for the first time today, I belived that everything was going to be okay.
