"So Crystal," Jack said. We were on our way to our special spot and it's been a comfortable silence.
"Hmm?"
"When I touched you back there," Don't say it. Don't say it!. "Why did you flinch?"
He can't know. It would worry him to death. And if my dad finds out that Jack knows, he'll kill him. Literally. "Umm, I don't know what you're talking about." I muttered.
"Cryssy, you know exactly what I'm talking about." He said, looking at me.
"Jack, trust me when I say this. You know, I'll tell you whatever you need to know, but you don't need to know this. Let me take care of it."
"But,"
"No, buts." He crossed his arms. I noticed that I still had the water balloon in my hand. It's now or never.
I threw it at him and it hit him in the side of his head.
"What the...?! Crystal!" By now I was leaning against the tree, clutching my side, laughing. His face was priceless! He shook his head, trying to get most of the water out.
"Should've seen it coming." He mumbled.
"You should've seen your face!" I yelled.
"Ya, ya. I'm gonna get back at you for it, ya' know?"
"Oh, come on! Your face was priceless!"
"Fine. Ooh we're here!" Mood swing, much? He ran over to a boulder covering a very large cave. I ran over to him and helped him move it. "Is it just me, or does this thing get heavier by the day?" He said, grunting while we moved the big rock.
"I think it's just you." He just shrugged. We finally got the boulder out of the way and we walked in the cave. We walked for about a minute before we got to a wall of vines and leaves(Kinda like the thing that lead to the tower in the movie 'Tangled)It led to a beautiful white meadow. The snow sparkled in the sunlight. It was absolutely beautiful! In the middle of the meadow was a pink and white peach tree. Nobody knows about this except me and Jack. We've been going her since we were about 9.
Lilly followed us one day but we caught her before we got here. That led to me pinning her arms above her head, to a tree, while Jack tickled her. She learned her lesson. We started walking to the peach tree.
"This place never ceases to amaze me." He mumbled in awe.
"I know right? I still remember how we found it." I do still remember it.
"We? I believe I was the one who found it." He said with a sly smile.
"Right. You found it while you were running away from me after you took my bracelet, and I was chasing you." I said, sitting with my back against the tree. He laid down and put his head on my lap. If you didn't know us you would think we were a couple. Sadly, we're not.
"Yep. Good times." He took my hand and placed it on his head. I laughed at his little motion for me to play with his hair. I started playing with his hair. He sighed and closed his eyes, a small smile forming on his lips. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes, continuing to run my fingers through his soft, silky, hair. This moment was perfect. I don't know how long we stayed like that but out of the blue, he asked a question that I never thought he would ask, "What would you do if I died right now?"
"Kill myself." He immediately sat up and looked me straight in the eyes. I whimpered a little, already missing his warmth. "Wha-what do you mean 'Kill yourself'?"
"I-it's complicated."
"What do you mean 'complicated'?"
"Like I said, If you need to know, I'll tell you."
He got a mad look on his face, "Crystal Lynn White, you've been telling me that ever since we met. I wanna know why you come crying to me almost everyday. I wanna know why you have cuts and bruises all over your body," His voice softened, "I wanna know why you're keeping this from me."
He has no idea how much I wanna tell him. But like I said, my dad will kill anyone who knows.
"Jack...I..."
"No, no, no. I get it. You think you can't trust me with your little secret." That's what he thinks? He has it dead wrong.
"I do trust you! Jack, I trust you with my life!" He still wasn't convinced. "How do I know that?"
"I'll tell ya' what. Tomorrow, meet me here and I'll tell you." I said, on the verge on tears.
He sighed. "Promise?"
I laughed. "How does this sound? If I decide not to tell you, I'll be your slave for a year." What have I done? I basically just ended Jacks life!
His face brightened up.
"Yay! I've always wanted a personal assistant."
"Uh, uh, uh, uh. Do you really think that I'll back out of it? I don't wanna be your slave!" I should really stop talking.
"Really? Any girl would love to be my slave."
"Well I'm not just any girl." I smirked.
"I know. You don't faint every time I walk by." It's true. Most girls faint.
"Those girls are dumb."
"You Jealous?"
"As if!" I stood up and leaned against the tree.
"Uh huh." He said coming towards me. "I think you are." He spoke in my ear. I shivered as I felt his hot breath in my ear. Both his arms were on either side of me, trapping me between him and the tree. Not that I mind. He leaned in and he was about to close the gap between us, until, "JACK! CAN YOU COME HELP ME?" What just happened?
"COMING, LILLY! Later, Crystal." Ya' know? I love Lilly like she was my own sister but sometimes she gets on my nerves. Jack quickly...kissed...me...on the cheek, before he ran off. Eh, at least I got a kiss on the cheek. WAIT, WHAT?!
I had a blast writing this chapter! I'm not gonna have them kiss just yet. Leave me your thoughts in a review!
XXXXFROSTBITEXXXX OUT! PEACE!
