Above the picture shows Lizzie sitting on the brick wall in this chapter.
Written in main characters Juliet pov.
I made it to Coles house and when I got there he was already sitting on his front steps. His head was in his hands and shoulders shaking. I ran out the car and up to him. " cole what's wrong?" I asked. He kept crying. " cole please." He looked at me with tears streaming down his face. He grabbed my hand pulling me to the back yard. We sat down in the chairs and it was quiet for about 1 minute. " my sister. You know the one in college? Hope?" I nodded. " yeah her. Well I got a call that she was in a car accident and we don't know if she will pull through." He explained crying again. I scooted closer to him putting a arm around his shoulder. After him crying it has been 2 hours by the way we sat there looking at the stars in the night sky. " Juliet?"
" hmmm"
" can you do something to let me know this is real?"
" like what" I asked facing him.
" kiss me."
" what! You have a girlfriend!" I whisper yelled.
" I know but it would knock me out of my trance. Please? Once I kiss you I will come to my senses and push you away."
I sighed and stood up telling him to stand up. " fine lets get this over with" he nodded and stepped closer. A piece of my hair fell in my face and he pushed it back. I closed our distance brushing my lips across his. Finally I kissed him with so many feelings. Anger for choosing my sister over me, happiness for this moment, and guilt. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I put my hands in his hair. All to soon he let go with a shocked face. I traced where his eyes landed and Ella stood there with a hand over her mouth. She dropped her purse running off sobbing. I ran after her calling her name. She got in her car and left. I stopped in the middle of the road standing there calling her name. Cole ran up putting his arm around my waist. I pushed him away. " this is all your fault! You should have never told me to kiss you! Now my sister hates me even more! Stupid! Ugh!" I screamed at him. He looked down at the ground and back at me. " I'm sorry it was a moment I was sad and you just wanted to comfort me. I'll explain it to her that it was all my fault." I sighed putting a hand to my face. " it's ok cole I get it. Also is it ok if I stay here tonight? " I asked. He nodded and put out a arm. I went under it and he pulled me to his side as we walked back to his house. On our way he kept walking past it. " where are we going?" I asked. " my parents want to see you I meant to tell you. Their at the diner up the street." I nodded and followed him. Once we made it to the diner I let cole go and fixed my hair. When we walked in mr and mrs storm were sitting in one of the booths in the far corner. We sat down and I smiled politely at them. " hello Juliet. I'm Cassandra storm and this is my husband John storm. So let's get right to the point." I fiddled with my hands under the table. " John and I are going to Hawaii on a business trip and we need someone to maintain the house. Keep it clean, you know keep everything in order. So my husband and I think that-" I put up a hand before she could continue. " so you want my sister to do it right? " I asked. " no. Do you know how fast I will become a grandmother if that boy and no offense to your sister will not be left alone. Now I- we think you would perfect so we don't have to worry about it. Do you accept?" I thought about it for a second and sighed. " sure." " good! Now you will start tomorrow and when we come back we are going to pay you 1,000. Sound good?" Mr.storm asked. "1,000" I asked in disbelief. Ms.storm frowned. " oh I'm sorry sweetie is that not enough? How about 2,000 or 2,500? " cole stood up grabbing my arm and smiled at his mom. " no mom 2,000 is good come on Juliet." I stood up following cole out of the diner. The walk back to his house was fun. We laughed and talked about how middle school was. He even told me how in
7th grade he almost asked me out. I blushed when he said that. I put my head down letting a sheet of hair cover my face. He stopped me putting his hand under my chin tilting my head up. " you don't have to be nervous around me you know." I nodded and he smiled. We kept walking and as he talked I bit my lip wondering how I could do something that would make him notice me more than my sister. Who am I kidding I have no chance. We made it back to his house and he quickly unlocked the door. We walked in and I sat down on his couch leaning back. " uh are you hungry?' He questioned scratching the back of his neck. I nodded again. " I'm going to go give you some of my moms pajamas. Be right back. " he ran up the stairs and I sighed. I stood up pulling off my sweater hanging it up and kicking off my ankle boots. I looked around at his pictures and read some of the quotes hanging up. " here you go." He said while tossing me a bundle of clothes. " when my sister was here she had a lot of clothes so she left some. That's some of it." He explained. I went into the downstairs bathroom and looked around. The walls were a blue pastel and the floor was shiny black tiles. The counters were slick and smooth. I turned on the shower and pulled my clothes off. I jumped in washing my hair with the shampoo I found in the shower. When I got out my hair smelled like cherry Apple. I pulled on the clothes he gave me. It was a crop top that said sleep like a pro and felt black shorts. He also gave me pink bunny slippers. I slipped them on pulling my hair into a bun. When I walked out the bathroom I smelt pancakes. I went into the kitchen and cole was setting plates of food at the table. What I noticed was that there was 3 plates. " why is there 3 plates?" I scrunched up my face in confusion. He looked up at me and smiled a faint smile. He placed my sisters purse in the 3 plate chair. Then I realized that my sister was coming! " how did you get her to come?" I asked. " I called her and said that I owe her a explanation." He shrugged. I narrowed my eyes my sister would never go for that. " cole." I warned. " she deserves it?" " cole." " I thought we should smooth things out?" " cole!" I yelled. He held up his hands defensively. " fine. Fine. I promised if she listened to me I'll buy her a Couch purse. There I said it." I shook my head smiling and went to help him set the table. During our laughing session a soft knock sounded through the house. He cleared his throat and went to answer the door. I smoothed my shorts and and ran upstairs. I put on some sweat pants I found in Hope's drawer. I heard my sisters voice and I went down the soft stairs. Then I heard silence. I went into the kitchen and my sister was sitting on cole lap in the dining chair and was kissing him. Cole opened his eyes and a sorry look filled his eyes. What did he have to be sorry for? I cleared my throat sitting down and they pulled away. Ella gave me a dirty look and sat in her spot. " let's pray shall we?" I questioned. They nodded and we joined hands. I started the prayer, " dear god we thank you for our food and life. Look down on us and protect us. Also please protect my sister from being a hoe. Thank you. Amen." Cole chocked on laughter while my sister glared at me. I dug into the pancakes, eggs, and sausage. It tasted really good. Before I knew it Ella was leading cole upstairs. I rolled my eyes and mumbled slut. She flicked her hair behind her and walked up to me. My sister and never had a good relationship. She whispered in my ear, " you will never have him the way I do and you never will. So keep dreaming little sister." She sashayed away. Geez she was only older by 5 minutes.------------------------------------------
I woke up to the sweet smell of cheese bagels. I stumbled up from the couch and into the kitchen rubbing on of eyes. Cole stood there putting butter on the bagels. He looked at me and looked at my shoulder. I turned my head to my shoulder and pulled up my shirt. " since your house is only next door you can run over there get dressed and come back for breakfast. " I nodded and slipped on my sweater. Once I stepped out the door the cold wind hit my bare stomach and I pulled my sweater closer to me. I heard sniffling so I stalked to the back. On the brick wall that separates the river and the houses lizzie sat there. I went up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. She turned to me with red puffy eyes and cold rears streaming down her face. I wiped them away pulling her off the wall and into my arms. She sobbed into my sweater drenching it with tears. " sometimes I just don't want to live sometimes. " she whispered. I pulled her off my shoulder and stared at her. " no.. Don't say that you deserve to live a full life and be happy. " I explained. She only nodded and walked away hugging herself crying. I ran into my house and went into my closet. I had no idea what to wear. I know what your thinking how can you be a bad girl without a leather jacket. Well believe it or not my parents won't let me. They think it's too much. I rolled my eyes at the thought and picked my clothes. I decided to wear a black off the shoulder fringed shirt with whit skinny jeans and black leather heels. I inbraided my hair and let it hang in waves. I brushed my teeth and did my makeup. I put on black eyeliner cat eyes and burgundy red lipstick. I went back over to Coles house and ate breakfast. Later that night I had all my clothes over at his house in the guest room and sat in the living room watching fast and the furious. Right in the middle of it cole came and paused it. I crossed my arms and pouted. " I was watching that." He waved his hand and shook it off.
" listen I got a call from Jeff the gang leader and we have a mission." I sighed. Here we go. My first gang mission. -----------😜
