Hello again! This that I have written is just some fluff that I had on my mind and that I wrote because I didn't want to do homework. Hope you enjoy!
Jake was working on his bike. The different components were splattered on the grass and he was extremely concentrated cleaning some kind of metallic cylinder. He was so focused that he didn't hear me until I called his name. He raised his head and a smile appeared on his face.
"Sup Blake?" over the past few days he had gained the habit of calling me by my last name. I didn't mind however, it was more like a playful thing, and sounded great coming from him.
"Diana and I are going to watch a movie, wanna come?"
He frowned and put the piece down, "What movie?"
"Eh.. Prometheus the one with the aliens, why?" I always liked sci fi movies, but the good ones not those in which there is a Super Radioactive shark-octopus.
"Sure, just give me a sec to change" I couldn't help but to notice that the completely common cotton shirt he was wearing looked amazing on him. "Last time I went to the movies with Di we watched Twilight" his words cut my thinking, "I think it was that, something about vampires who shined in the sun" he shook his head. "Not a fan of romantic fluff, ha?" I honestly couldn't imagine him sitting in the cinema while Edward declared his undying love for Bella. "Not really, at least not so fake" he explained. Fake? Sure, it wasn't one of my favorites but I didn't think it was fake.
"What do you mean with fake?"
"Come on, that wasn't love it was more of a possessive thing. With that that they couldn't live without each other or not even two hundred meters apart" We went inside his house.
"Cassie, how good to see you!" a welcoming voice greeted me. "Hi Lara, good to see you too" Jake's aunt pulled me into a big hug which I easily returned while Jake went upstairs to get changed. "How are you doing today?" I said as I pulled apart. "Good, thank god! Want something to eat or drink?" she offered.
"No, that's fine thanks"
"So how is school? I'm sure you must miss your friends back home" Lara sat in one of the kitchen chairs, the Chemotherapy was making her tired; grandma said that she only had a few months left if that even but she was never sad, quite the opposite actually.
"It's ok, I talk to them every day and I'll travel there on holidays" I was really looking forward to winter holidays but we were still on September.
"Travel where?" Jake was coming downstairs with a pair of jeans, a light blue shirt and his black jacket.
"Cassie was just telling me that because she misses her friends she will travel to meet them every holiday" She said smiling. It wasn't exactly how she said it, but I didn't want to correct her.
Jake just looked at me and kissed her aunt. "I'll go to see a movie, Nick is awake he'll take care of you"
"Honey I can perfectly take care of myself! Please tell me you didn't woke him up"
"Of course I did it's four in the afternoon, and the lazy ass has homework to do" he flashed her a big smile.
"Jake!" She tried to appear offended but failed miserably. I hugged her once again and left with Jake.
"You know you never told me about your friends" we were getting in my car ready to meet Diana.
"Oh, well I.. really don't know what I should say" It had always been hard for me to talk to people, cause I never knew what I should say though I usually tried to cover this by either playing def or giving an universal answer "Sure, dunno, whatever" Which ever fitted the situation best. But with Jake it was different I would always speak my mind with him and I didn't know why. I watched him to see how he reacted but he just smiled.
"I mean how they are like, how close you were" I turned on the engine.
"They are great I love them. I met the guys when we were thirteen and I didn't have any friends" he raised an eye brow. "What?" I ask getting defensive, I didn't like to talk about that part of my life, when everybody picked on me because I was extremely shy and lonely.
"Why didn't you have friends?" his voice sounded skeptic.
"Because I was really shy I wouldn't respond when people asked me things or just saluted me, so must students picked on me and I was known like the loner of school"
He stood quiet, waiting for me to continue.
"I met Laura on a video club and we chatted about the movies we liked, then I saw her at school and she was super nice to me and introduced me to her friends, and little by little I began to open up and they all accepted me"
"They sound like great people" he was smiling but it was warmer this time.
"Yes, they are"
"And what do you think about us, honestly?" Was it just me or did he seemed worried.
"You guys are ok, why?"
"I want you to be happy here, you are my friend. But I noticed that when you are in the group you are uncomfortable" His words caught me off guard and I said what I had on my mind.
"Fuck" He looked at me. "What?"
"Shit! I mean.. aggh!" only incoherencies came out of my mouth, but I was sick of keeping this a secret, and we only had a couple of minutes before arriving at the theater.
"He kissed me"
"Who?"
"Adam, when I first met him and he drove me home. I don't know why he did it, we were talking and he told me about your aunt and that he and Diana were sweethearts and when he parked at my house I turned to say goodbye and he just looked at me and kissed me!" I had been holding that for so long that I practically yelled it. I didn't want to see Jake's face so I turned to the highway, hands on the wheel. I felt a pressure on my shoulder and when I looked it was his hand. I met his eyes and a thousand emotions were visible. "He is an idiot, don't worry about that"
"Diana is going to hate me"
"No, she cares about you and this wasn't your fault"
"Then why did he do it?" I was starting to cry, great! I hate crying specially in front of people. I parked at the nearest place to the theater and turned the engine off. I faced Jake and told him what I couldn't tell to anyone but my friends back home. "What am I going to do, and with the circle, how can I face him everyday?" it came out like a whisper and I tried to wipe my tears away but he stopped me. "It's not your fault Cassie, you are a wonderful girl and can't let this jerk ruin your life" He was holding both of my hands and the magic running between us made me feel dizzy. I locked eyes with him and leaned closer. I felt the electricity pass through my whole body so I did the only thing that seemed right at that time and hugged him. Although our hands were no longer touching the electricity was still on me. He hugged me back, his hands traced circles on my back and I said "Thank you" I didn't say why but he got it right away "Any time Blake".
I really didn't know how to end it, I hope you liked it. Any suggestion for next chap? Please review!
