Dark Light,Bright Life

chapter 2

sorry about the very short 1st chapter well basically my chapters are gonna be short.

Beth's POV

School went by quick and i was thankful for that.I was about to leave when i bumped into kathy.

"Hye beth,wanna grab a cup of coffee and maybe we can talk?" I really wasnt in the mood for anything so i just told her i wasnt feeling well.I went to the garden again because i couldnt keep myself together much longer.I burst into tears thinking where had i gone wrong or what i ever do to deserve all this.Tears kept on escaping from my eyes when a pair of arms hugged me from the back.

I thought it was Kathy but then it spoked"I'm sorry beth,i didnt meant to hurt you.I would never do that on purpose.I was looking for you and i thought i'd find you here." I turned to look at him "Why were you looking for me?"

He would keep his head hung low whenever he talked to me "There is something i wanted to say,the truth is i didn't found this place when i heard you cry."I stopped sobbing and just kept listening to what he wanted to say."When i was a little boy my mother would always bring me here and she would always tell me that everything will be fine and that she will always be in my heart.At first i never really understood why she would tell me all these things until she died a few months later of cancer.I started to cry again listening to him.He must have felt so lost and broken to have the person you really love and care of leaving you forever and know that they would never be able to come back.
I hugged him so tight like i was afraid he was going to float away.I took a deep breath and shut my eyes.

"There was this perky and joyfull little girl.Full of ambition and dreams and her family loved her,adored her and cared for her.She would always believe that her family will always be there for her through good and bad times but as she grew older those things starts to disappear"I bit my lower lips trying to control myself "Her parents keep on pressuring her about studies and they would always accuse her of things she didn't do.She would always cry herself to sleep and no one would about it.Everything she did was wrong and her family would always blame everything on her."Jason rubbed my back in small circle while i tried to keep myself strong"She would talk to herself saying everything will be okay and she would make it through darkness.She would hug herself and imagine it was her mother who used to do it.This girl wanted to run away so many times but the only thing that stopped her was her little sister.She had two sisters, an older one and a younger one.Her older sister never cared about her infact she had always hated her.After quite sometime of waiting and bottling all her feelings,she knew she couldn't take it anymore so she ran and left everything behind including her little sister without any letter.

"I stopped to gather myself back together when i felt a tears on my shoulder.Jason was crying this whole time.I was beyond to suprised,that was the first time i ever saw a guy cry.I know not only girls cry but he didnt even shed a tear when he talked about his mother's death."Beth,i know we are just friends but i promise you that i wont let anyone or anything hurt you." And with that he destroyed the walls around my heart.He is affecting me in ways i dont even understand.He sounded sincere and he looked so vulnerable that i melt.

The walk back home was quiet and i was glad he didnt say anything.I took a glimpse at him and to be honest this is the first time i actually looked at him and he was gorgeous.I've never had opened up my heart for love but this guy he is something."Beth! where have you been?I was so worried about you i tried calling yiu but you didnt answer so i went to your house but you werent there.I thought you were abducted by aliens or something!"Kathy kept on nagging about how i am her sister and about safety and whatsoever.I look at Jason and he was scratching the back of his neck maybe he was uncomfortably.Oh how cute is he when he is uncomfortable or nervous."Why are you giggling?"Kathy frowned at me .That's when reality hits me i've been giggling out loud,it was supposed to stay in my head.I tried to get my brain to function again."um,nothing..anyways you know there's a new guy in our school right?" and before i could countinue with my story Kathy's eyes was as wide as the sky.She always does that when she she is excited about something."Oh my gosh! of course i do.I heard he is such a hottie and maybe he could mine."she smirked.Oh god ,i was so embarassed.I cleared my throat "Kathy?so this is Jason the new guy in our school."The reaction on her face was priceless.She was as red as a tomato,i tried so hard controlling my laughter and i could tell that Jason was feeling what i was feeling.Oh Kathy,you never failed to cheer me up."well,it's nice meeting you..um Jason"i saw a tint a of red in her cheeks."yeah, you too Kathy."Jason winked at her and it made Kathy blushed like a lovestruck teenager."She's something."I laughed at Jason's comment.Jason dropped me back home and i gave him a hug?Well it wasnt on purpose,it just happened at the moment.When i entered my house,i was given a full session lecture from Mrs Walter.She treats me like her daughter since she doesnt have any children and i treat her like my mother.Her husband died in a war and she's been leaving alone before she found me."Elizabeth Marie Johnson,dont scare me like that.I was so close to calling the police.Did you go there again?"I nodded."Sweetie,you have to let the pass go because remembering it isn't gonna bring you any good."I hugged her and she pulled me closer into her arms and she whispered in my ears"Im here for you beth.I'll care for you because you are my baby and you're all i have."
