Dream Catcher

Chapter 6

Jaime woke up, rubbing her eyes from crying the night before, and she still had a case of the sniffles. Her mom came to see her, then she left after about 5 minutes or so. Jaime felt alone at this point, as if no one really cared about her. She closed her eyes....after a "cat-nap", she woke up and saw Kayla smiling at her. Jaime returned the smile, and they both laughed.

Kayla - Morning sleeping beauty.

Jaime - You look mighty fine yourself....how are you doing?

Kayla - I'm holding on just fine. The doctors told me that I need to stay for a few days, but I did ask them to do something for me.

Jaime - Oh yeah, like what?

Kayla - I told them to put me in a room with you.

Jaime - Aww, thank you.

Kayla - Now, you don't have to feel alone anymore.

Jaime began to blush a little bit, so she turned her face away from Kayla. Kayla walked closer to the bed and she held Jaime's hand. Jaime turned in Kayla's direction, surprised to say the least. "I feel like...." Jaime's words couldn't come out right, but Kayla understood what she was trying to say.

Kayla - It's ok....I have that same feeling myself.

Jaime - Really?

Kayla - Yes....

Jaime - How long have you felt this way?

Kayla - To be honest with you, I have felt this way since elementary school. I didn't want to ruin our friendship, due to me being "in love" with you, at that time. How long have you felt this way?

Jaime - Well, it is kinda hard to say....do you want me to sugarcoat it or do you want the honest truth about it?

Kayla - We're friends....we have to be honest with each other, even if it hurts us.

Jaime - Ok....I have felt this way since that dance we went to in middle school.

Kayla - What year was it?

Jaime - I think it was the 7th grade Spring Break dance....I think.

Kayla - Oh yeah, I remember it now....then I also remember what happened afterwards.

Jaime - That was a bit....awkward at first. Only thing about it was this, everytime we hung out after that moment.....I couldn't bring myself to say that I really liked you.

Kayla - Well, what do we now?

Jaime - Once we get out of the hospital, we can go hang out at your house and watch some Netflix.

Kayla - Sounds wonderful to me.

Even though Kayla and Jaime just expressed what they felt about the other, they couldn't bring themselves to ask the "big question". Maybe they were scared or maybe they wanted to wait for the other to say it. Who knows at this point what could happen.

-Let's jump over to where Sasha and Kenny are really quick before I get to Jaime and Kayla's little moment. Kenny and Sasha are at the park, of course. Sasha is babysitting her little niece and so far, she isn't doing a pretty good job at it either. She is more focused on Kenny, than anything. Her little niece, Nicole, tried to jump off the swings and she twisted her ankle so bad....it looked like her ankle did a rotation and stopped around 180 degrees. That bad of a twist, and Sasha wasn't even paying attention to it. About an hour later, she gets a call from her mom about Nicole. "Hello.....wait, what happened to her?........oh my.....I am so sorry." Sasha got so scared to the point she broke down in tears. Her mother was infuriated about the accident. "From this point on, you won't be seeing Kenny at all...until I say so." Sasha hung up the phone, and she fell into Kenny. He tried to console her, but all she could think about is the fact she wouldn't be able to see Kenny....despite her being 18. Sasha went home, packed her things, and she moved in with Kenny. Kenny's mom was very generous about it as well. "I know it wasn't your fault, Sasha. You must've looked away for a brief second and she hurt herself." What Sasha couldn't bear was that she wasn't paying attention to Nicole at all. She will forever be remembered by her family as a "neglectful, selfish b****"....words from her mother, aunt, and father.-

Kayla and Jaime kept staring into each other's eyes, but they couldn't bring themselves to say the words that they were both thinking. Finally, Kayla worked up the nerve to say it....despite her being really nervous.

Kayla - Jaime......would you.....be....

Jaime - Yes.

Kayla's eyes shot open....despite never finishing the question, Jaime knew what she going to ask. Jaime tried to hold back a smile, but Kayla brought the smile out anyway. Jaime held Kayla's hand and vice versa, as they were entangled a kiss. They backed away a few inches from each other, still looking into each other's eyes. A smile broke across both of their faces. Around 11 o'clock that night, Kayla was in a deep sleep with a smile on her face....and Jaime thought she was snoring a little. Jaime smiled and she walked over to Kayla's bed, gently touching her arm. She leaned in towards Kayla, and kissed her on the forehead.

Jaime - I love you Kayla.

She walked back over to her bed, and she too....fell asleep with a smile on her face.

-Sasha begins to have a downfall.....who's next?-
