When The Magic Breaks Loose

Chapter 5

We sat in silence for a couple minutes just him looking at me and me looking at everything but him. I had stopped shaking finally but my mind was still realing over what had happend. He had finally broken the silence by saying "thank you" which finally made me look at him as he continued to speak " I know you probably regret using your powers but thank you for saving my life... Even if you regret it" he finished and was about to get up when I grabbed his hand with one quick fluid motion and looked him dead in the eye when I said " I may not like that I used my powers, but I will NEVER regret saving you EVER" my voice being very firm but still soft as I said it and I added as I looked away and let go of his hand in a softer voice " don't ever think I'd regret saving you, I'm glad I could keep someone in my life from leaving me, inless you're going to too" and I looked down at my hands refusing to let any tears fall. " Hey, look at me" Jason said lightly turning her face torwards him " I'm not going anywhere, and you can't make me, and just so you know, what you did was incredible, and I'm proud of you." and he dropped his hand again and I looked back at my hands and said " thanks" then as I sat there quietly he said "by the way, you look very pretty today" and a small smile tugged on the edge of my lips as I felt my neck get slightly warm with the beginnings of a blush " thank you" I said again staring intently at my shoes " oh my" he said still looking at me but now with a teasing smile " is that the beginning of a blush I see? Could it be that the quiet Crystle here actually cares what I think, after ignoring me all that time?" he faked suprise " well I'm flattered" he says with a smile. I couldn't help.it the blush grew and I turned to him so quickly that my ponytail almost hit is face as I said in a joking accusing voice " well I may have been ignoring you but you CLEARLY have not been ignoring me" emphasizing the word clearly as he faked confusion and hurt " why, whatever would make you say that?" he said puting his hand to his chest. " oh, you know EXACTLY what I mean" I say pointing a finger at him my face still warm but this time with a smile. " oh really?" he says with a challenging smirk " prove it" " fine" I answer him with a smirk back "how else woul you have known my schedule when hanging out with Veronica??? Hmmm?" I said leaning back on the arm of the couch completely facing him now as he put his hands up in surrender " ok, you got me" " HA" I say poking him in the chest since he was completely facing me now to both of us sitting criss cross apple sauce like we used to. He looked down at where I poked him and laughed as he looked up at me " what?" I say confused by the focus in his stare "nothing... Just glad you're back to smiling" he says his face growing sober " I haven't seen a real smile on your face in awhile" and I looked at him with my smile falling as I asked him with confusion " what do you mean?" and he looked at me for a second and said " you know exactly what I mean, don't think I haven't noticed, you smile with your friends and everyone but when you think nobodies looking you let it fall, like when you were walking alone the other day you weren't smiling, you weren't even frowning you.just looked relieved to have some quiet, and I know why, your parents aren't quiet I can hear them from outside, and I know things have been hard for you since everything started going down, but you won't talk to anyone, not even your friends. I just don't want you to be alone anymore, I want you to know I'm here and I'm not leaving. I want to see you smile for real more often." and he sat looking at me after he said that and I looked down and said with my voice breaking a little "thank you... Thank you so much... thank you for noticing when i thought noone would... Thank you for seeing me" and he pulled me into his lap sideways and hugged me before tilting my face to look down at him from his lap and said " I've always seen you... Even when you were trying not to be seen..." and my breath caught in my throat at that, looking into his eyes and hearing those words I didn't have anything left to say. So he stretchedbout his legs under me and laid back putting me next to him in the prossess and I laid down to and we just layed there me in his arms on his couch.

I guess at some point I fell asleep because I woke up to banging on his front door and accidentally rolled off the couch and waking him up in the prossess and he quickly sat up and said " you okay?" looking a me abd I said" ya, just see who's banging" as I sat back on the couch puching back any frizz in my ponytail from sleeping and fixing my shirt so it wasn't sleep wrinkled anymore and pulling it up some since it is strapless and he opened the door to see Stacy standing there arms crossed taking in his appearance and she said " took you long enough! Where's Crystle?" and when he just stared at her for a second trying to figure out why she was here and yelling at him she pushed past him and saw me sitting on the couch, luckily I knew my makeup didn't smear because they always use the kind that won't inless you use make-up remover which is the only reason it's in my room at home at all. When she saw me she ran over and sat next to me "Crystle! There you are! I heard what happened, are you ok?" " ya, I'm fine thanks, what are you doing here anyway? What time is it? Don't you have a date tonight to?" and she looked at me in shock for a second and looked back at Jason " it's five Veronica just went on her date and mine isn't till six, more importantly, were you two sleeping?" and Jason walked over and sat on the chair that matched the couch after stretching for a second and I answered " well.. Umm... Ya... We were... Actually..." and she looked between me and him with big eyes and she leaned torwards abd whispered in my ear " together?" and since she is a horrible whisperer Jason burst out laughing as my face went completely red with embarrassment as I said trying to hide my face " NO! Oh my god, Stacy! I could kill you right now!" I answered and Jason chimbed in still laughing a little " well... Technically..." before I cut him off with a " Shut up!" and Stacy looked between us and said "no,no, let the boy talk... Did the great Jason manage to not only give Crystle her first kiss ..but maybe more???" she said in a mistiefes voice and a jumped up saying "OH MY GOD STACY NO! NOTHING HAPPENED!" and she answered with a big smile " I want to hear him say it" and Jason chimbed in still laughing " no, she's right, nothing happened, we legitimately just fell asleep on the couch together... But she really hasn't had her first kiss?" he said leaning in with a smile and questioning voice and I swear my face could start rivaling a tomato as Stacy answered " hmm, pity, but no she hasn't" and she smiled and glanced at me for a second before looking at him " ya know... You could help with that..." and I grabbed her had and pulled her up and said " OKAY THAT'S IT TIME TO GO" and she sighed and said " oh.. All right.. I do have to go... You stay though he seems to be taking care of you just fine" and I practically pushed her out ths door as she said "tootles" and I shut the door and leaned against it taking a deep breath returning my face back to normal and closing my eyes and when I opened them the was right outfront of me with a bemused expression and I quickly said " sorry about her.. She can be... A little much sometimes" and he said " no,no,no, That was definitely Intresting.... So never been kissed huh?" he said still with that bemused expression and with a raised eyebrow. "Uh... Ya.. Why?" and he smiled big with a mischievous glint in his eye and said " well as she said... I can help with that " and he smiled big and made fake kissy faces and noises leaning torwards me and I ran under his arm and said " you'll have to catch me first!"and took off with him chasing me still making the noises but smiling to big to really make the faces and I dived into his room to hide and held on to the back of the door when I couldn't hold it shut and he opened it so I was behind the door and I let go and turned my back to it when he re shut it and said " gotcha" as he pinned both of my hands above my head with his trapping me there and I laughed looking up at him and said " I guess ya do... What are you going to do about it?" with a smile that he returned to me with that mischievous glint still in his eyes as he looked at me and leaned forward and said " this" when nose to nose with me and let go of my hands and started to tickle me as I squealed with delight.
