You Hurt the Ones you Love
~Chapter 2~
~Following you~
Angelica's POV
She just had to get away from him, she felt so vulnerable and weak that it scared her, she knew she needed to go somewhere and let it all out. After what had happened she wasn't sure how she felt. The boy she had a major crush on had just admitted he loved her. But she had always been SO mean to Chuckie that she couldn't understand how he could ever possibly harness any feelings for her but hate and loath. She had never met anyone who would ever love a girl like her.
No one loved her she thought remembering all the people she had inflicted her angry, negative temper on. Only her parents and relatives and even her cousins didn't love her and that she presumed was because they had too because they were family. This hadn't applied to Tommy and Dil because they hated her. Was she really that bad? She had never cared or considered how anyone felt but her, no one's needs mattered as long as she was happy and her needs were fulfilled. It had all been perfect until she reached 3. That was when it happened. Angelica had been spying on Chuckie and Tommy and the twins Phil and Lil watching them as they interacted with another goody two shoes toddler.
As Angelica watched slowly devising a plan to spoil their fun she saw the new girl, Megan push Chuckie over, she felt a surge of jealously bubble up in her small toddler stomach and felt a lot of anger towards Megan for picking on one of her babies, after all, that was her job. As she watched Megan continually pick on Chuckie and had to physically hold herself back so she could carry out and formulate a new plan to get Megan hurt she saw the strangest thing. Chuckie was making continual attempts to befriend Megan and get her to like him, like bringing her flowers, and a reptar bar!
Angelica was shocked of this behaviour, she had spent months bullying and picking on Chuckie and never once had he willingly given her any of these items. She thought about it for a minute then concluded that she wasn't making enough of an effort. So from that day on until now she had tried to focus her attention on Chuckie in a mean manor in hopes that one day he would come to her as he had to Megan. This day had come. And it had come unexpected as Angelica had almost given up on her plan. But now she had 15 years to see the effect of what it had on Chuckie, his shaking, making him cry, his fear of her, she was beginning to lose hope and regret it, she had never wanted him to be afraid of her and was now convinced this wasn't the type of girl Chuckie deserved.
He deserved someone nice, someone kind, someone who he wasn't afraid of and who would comfort him if he did get scared of something, some one who wouldn't bully him and isn't afraid to show him how she feels. He deserved the right to feel loved and cared for. He deserved... but she couldn't think of anyone .She didn't want to imagine him with anyone else but her. But that was selfish as Chuckie deserved someone and unbelievably he wanted her of all people! She could promise herself but before she was sure she could stick to it she wasn't going to take another chance to hurt Chuckie.
By god be her witness, Angelica Pickles was never going to be mean again! She would make herself perfect for Chuckie. Someone who he could be proud to call his girlfriend.
She had run off to the edge of the college campus to sit under a tree by the sea, she just wanted to be alone right now to sort out her new plan.
Chuckie's POV
Chuckie was running over campus trying to search for Angelica. He had tried to follow her but she was quick and smart and he wasn't so quick, so he had lost her and was now scouring the campus looking everywhere for her, desperate to find her and talk to her. Where could she have gone? He thought as he put his hand on a bench and bent over trying to catch his breath, he continued his thoughts about why had she had apologized and what for. After all it was him who had confessed.
Suddenly he remembered an incident similar to this that was from when he was 2 years old, about a girl named who had pushed him over, poked him with a stick and done so many mean things to him because she liked him. He shook his head in disbelief. He felt so stupid now, why hadn't he seen it before? Angelica was mean to everyone, but she was meaner to him more than anyone else, that had to mean something, didn't it?
She had admitted she liked him so why had she ran away. He had told her he liked her too, he just had to find her. He felt the adrenaline build up and a new confidence arise.
Was this love, is this's meant by going to extremes for that right person. If he was right then he wasn't going to give up to easily.
After about 10 minutes of running, he saw a figure in the background. They looked like they were crying; hoping on the off chance that it was her, he ran over.
He stood by the tree out of sight for a few seconds to admire her. He couldn't help but smile as her long blonde hair blew to hide her face in the sea breeze. He finally decided to let his presents be known. He walked confidently straight in front of her, lifted her chin up so she was looking at him, she had a shocked look, mixed in with her puffy red eyes but she obeyed none the less and didn't say a word.
He moved his face towards hers. She had remembered her plan but him being here now, she could think of nothing but him and being in his arms. She let her eyes flutter shut as their mouths met for hope it would not be the last, the kiss was sweet and tender but left them both longing for more. When they pulled away he kissed the salty tear that was falling down her cheek and whispered in her ear.
Angelica you are everything I want and everything I love.
She smiled still speechless from his words and whispered in his ear,
You hurt the ones you love
And with that she pushed Chuckie to the ground pinning him down and giggling as he laughed. She smirked and bent down to kiss him again. When they broke away Angelica told him how she was going to be nicer and Chuckie told her he never wanted to let her go as she sat between his legs, her back to his chest, his arms wrapped around her waist and his head buried in her shoulder. Nothing could have made this day more perfect.
The End
