Countdown - Isac Elliot

Chapter 12 - 32 days.15 hours. 02 minutes. 18 seconds

Jasmine's POV

Lunch time would probably have to be my favourite time of school. It was also one of the only times I could be on my own.

I was lying on the field listening to my music.

I looked at the sky and how the clouds moved slowly but they seemed to speed up a little.

Dad told me that when I was younger, one of my favourite things to do with my mum was to look up at the cloud and see if I could see any shapes.

I blinked a little as memories of my mum came rushing through my brain.

I wondered every night how mum was doing now, had she moved on? Did I have any siblings? Did she ever think about me?

I was knocked out my thoughts when I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey," Isac said flopping down next to me, I quickly got up and looked at him.

"Hey," I said back hiding behind my hair.

"How are you doing?" He asked smiling at me.

"I'm doing great," I said grinning back at him.

There was a sudden silence.

"Julia and Noora spoke to me," he said finally, looking towards the end of the field. I could feel myself getting hotter.

"And truth is, I feel exactly the same," he said turning around.

"Whenever I'm with you," he said his hand dropping to his stomach. "I feel butterflies,". He lifted his hand up to where his heart was and said "and my heart starts hurting,"

I felt dizzy. Was this really happening? Was the guy who was supposedly meant to spend the rest of his life with me, saying that he likes me?

"Because Jasmine porter, I think I really like you and I think it might even be love, don't ask me how I know , but when I'm with you I feel so happy and when you're not there I feel empty ," he said reaching out to brush my hair out my face .

I looked up to look at him. His chocolate brown eyes were shining. And I swear in that moment I felt something I never felt before.

I felt like I finally had something to stay alive for. Someone who would always be there for me. Someone who would guide me through the dark days and keep me by their side in the good days.

I felt hopeful.

Isac's POV

I sat there looking at Jasmine hopefully. I don't know what she was going to say.

Normally her eyes would tell me how she felt, but now her eyes were blank.

The same kind of blank they were the night I had caught her dancing whilst she was crying.

Flashback

I walked through the studio to go retrieve my bag, which I had accident left inside.

All the lights were out. It was clear that I was the only person left in the whole of the studio. Or so I thought......

As I turned the corner to the recording studio I noticed that one of the dance rehearsal rooms light was on.

I walked in to turn the light of but I was instead greeted by a crying Jasmine.

She was dancing whilst tears were crashing down onto her rosy cheeks. She looks lost and alone, she felt that way to, I could see it in her posture and dance moves. I looked into her eyes and instead of seeing her happy blue eyes; I was met with blank eyes staring at the mirror in front of her.

I looked at how her face twisted in disgust as she looked at her own reflection.

That moment I realised that Jasmine Porter was more Brocken than I thought she was.

Flashback End

"Do you remember that night? " I asked after the silence. She turned around looking confused.

"That night you stayed later at the studio, the day you were ......... crying," I added looking at her my eyes searching her face.

"That was the day that I realised you were faking everything. I saw the scars, the new ones and the old ones, they were littered everywhere. I realised that you were Brocken and at that moment I promised myself I would be the one who fixed you, "I said my hand going up to her cheek. There were tears in her eyes now and she was blinking back them, trying not to cry in front of me.

"Isac ...." she started saying trying to look away.

"You don't want me, no one will. I'll end up hurting you and you don't deserve that Isac," she said the tears finally giving away and falling to her cheeks.

"No matter how much you end up hurting me, I'll never stop feeling this feeling Jasmine. This feeling up here," I said clawing at my heart.

I put my other hand on her cheek and pulled her face a little closer to me. I looked into her eyes one last time before closing my eyes and softly placing my lips on her. At first she was shocked, I could feel her lip freeze slightly, but then her lips started working in synch with mine. I pulled her body closer to mine deepening the kiss a little. My own cheeks were damp with tears, mine and jasmines. It was as if both our lips fitted together perfectly like two Brocken pieces.

And just like that, we both lost our first kiss.....
