I will wait for you

Chapter 2

"Jess!, you're gonna be late for school!!!", my mom yells across the house. "I'm up!" I yell back as she stomps to my room to make sure I wasn't lying. " Jess get up!!".

As I get up to put on my outfit for the day, I look at the clock and see that I only have two minutes to get ready for school. I hurry to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Then I walk out and ask my mom if my brother can take me to school in second period. Of Course she says yes, so I plop down onto my bed and wait till I have to get ready again.

I can't fall back asleep though because I won't wake up, so I just lie there. This always happens. I don't feel like getting up so I wait until it's impossible for me to get ready and be at school on time. I'm so physically and emotionally tired that I don't have the want in any part of my body to see sunlight.

I look at the clock and I have exactly thirty minutes to get ready. I put on my makeup and then I curl my hair. I can never look lazy. Aiden wouldn't want me if I looked like I got ready in a dumpster.

Aiden isn't my boyfriend. He was but now he's just a stranger I try to impress everyday.

I'm so in love with him and not the kind of 'in love' where I talk about him 24/7 and bat my eyelashes whenever I see him. It's the silent kind of love. The one where I pretend I don't notice him, and hide how I feel. It's the kind of love that slowly kills you inside and you are left to do nothing about it.

I guess you could call it cliché but I don't want him, I just try to impress him because he left me for another girl and maybe I was ugly back then, maybe I wasn't good enough but I try to be now.

As I stare blankly at my face in the mirror, my brother walks in. "What's wrong?" He asked. " Nothing jake" I reply with a smile. "Is there something you're sad about?". " No I'm just tired".
"Alright let me know when you wanna leave to go to school". I just reply with a smile and watch him leave my room.

Jake is nineteen and is almost gonna be twenty. He's probably gone through the worst love in life. He was a freshman who fell in love with a sophomore. They went to different schools and only saw each other the days they had soccer traveling practice. That's how they met. Her name was Karen. They spent most of the weekends with each other. Until one day she decided she was more in love with her best guy friend, mark, who at the time was a senior, more than she was in love with my brother. Now my brother is out of high school and is still in love with her. She has a kid with mark now, so there is nothing Jake can do about it

I'll never forget the day Jake sat on the carpet floor of his room and listened to a very slow song by Megadeth. I'm not really sure what is was called but usually that band is a hardcore rock type of band. So I was surprised. He cried and cried till his body got too tired to produce any more tears.

Which is similar to what happened to me. Only I was In the sixth grade. I know that sounds stupid. And many may not understand but he was my first love.

He had the dirty but beautiful blonde hair, the kind that makes you want to run your fingers through. He had eyes that would change colors to match his mood. His lips were very small but they were the cutest thing and they fit so well on his face. He's the kind of beautiful you see in a movie and wish you could get to know and fall in love with.
