"are you okay?" Jane asks switching back to her usual gentle voice and drapes my jacket over me. She sits me down on a bench and dabs my face with a tissue she had in her back pack. "Why are you asking if I'm okay I literally uppercutted your boyfriend" I ask. "Eh, he'll live, but your face looks terrible" she grabs my bruised hand gently, my face turns red but it already looks red do she won't notice.
"Trust me, I'm fine. But can I ask you a question" I ask she nods but keeps her eyes at my cheek she wiping the blood off. "why do you care so much about me, I'm literally the sworn enemy of your boyfriend why are you even cleaning my face right now?" Jane stops wiping my cheek and looks at me, and grabs both my hands"Why wouldn't I? You're the nicest person I've ever met. At least nicer than Mike. I care because you're probably my favorite person" she replies sincerely. I'm surprised, I really didn't know that she cares about me so much. I don't really know what to feel right now.
"wait, you really mean that?" I ask, "of course I do, geez max. You really got the shit beat out of you." Jane points out and sets that tissue down to pick up another one to wipe my lip. "Hey, Mike got his shit beat out of him too" I say jokingly offended. "Thank god, sometimes he can just suck a dick sometimes. I don't even know why I'm dating him" Jane admits. Honestly my lip Isn't even that beat up. Don't know why she's focusing on that
That's also something I've always wondered. Jane is never happy around Mike. "do you not like Mike" I ask curiously. She stops cleaning my face and turns to face the field not directly looking at me.
"I do, I do. We're just going through a rough spot right now" Jane admits, like she's trying to convince herself. She turns to look at me. I could literally just drop dead right now, she looks so beautiful right now. Her deep drown eyes, her wavy hair, the bangs barely covering her eyebrows. The wind slightly picking up on her hair. Her outfit is also amazing. With a black and blue striped sweater, and black pants. Honestly don't know how she's not having a heat stroke in the summer heat but she perfect regardless.
We hold that eye contact a little too long, we were already really close to each other.
I take a risk, and look at Jane's lips only for a second. Reminding me just how much I want to kiss her.
Jane breaks the eye contact. "I think your face isn't bleeding currently so I'm... gonna go" Jane awkwardly points to the exit. "yeah...okay. Thanks for, you know, Fixing my face" I say thanking her. Why is this so awkward. I mean sure it did kinda seem like we were gonna kiss. "No problem" she throws up her hand to gesture goodbye. I do the same, my eyes squinting in summer sun.
