the heart wants what it wants

James returns (again)

I got home from work. Wow that sounds so cool and new at the same time. I've never had a job before. Anyway I got home from work and when I stepped inside 4 people were waiting for me. It was Mark, mom, dad, and dun dun dun, James. Man I must have had to many of the free samples while Cameron and the costumers weren't looking. 

Mom: "Hi Kate, James tells me you got back together. That's great!"

Dad: "I didn't know you broke up. I always liked you James."

Mark: "You told me you broke up with him."

Me: "UM... That reminds me, mom Mark took my diary. Can you please get it back for me. I gotta talk to James for a second. 

Mom: "Mark go put it back in her room now and after that I am searching you and your bedroom."

James and I walked outside and started walking in the alley way. 

James: "What's up girlfriend."

Me: "I'm not your girlfriend."

James: "Then why did you kiss me yesterday?"

Me: "I don't know. I had just broken up with my boyfriend and I was upset."

James: "Wait you moved on that fast."

Me: "Well yeah I'm not gonna obsess over some guy who cheated on me."

James: "I said I was sorry. What else is it gonna take."

Me: "Nothing we are not getting back together."

James: "Come on babe."

Me: "Don't call me babe!"

Then James grabbed me and pulled me to him like Max did. Then I shouted.

Me: "Let me go!"

I shook him off and just walked away. he tried to follow me. Then we got into the street. Janet and Max were at Cameron's house. I don't know why after what Janet did to Cameron by cheating on him with Max. I guess Max was outside or something maybe looking out the window or heard me screaming at James because he came running from Cameron's house, so did Janet and Cameron.

Max ran towards James and pushed him off of me. Then he shoved him again, and again, and again until he stumbled on the ground. Cameron came to me and so did Janet. They made sure I was alright.

Cameron: "Did he hurt you?"

Me: "He squeezed my arm a little to hard. Other than that I'm fine."

I lied he punched me twice. In the jaw and in the eye. What is wrong with him? Why would he hit a girl?

Cameron: "Okay. Janet take her inside to her house."

Janet took me inside. 

Janet: "Are you okay?"

Me: "No my eye hurts, so does my jaw."

We walked in side. My parents saw me clutching my jaw and asked me what happened. 

Mom: "Oh my Gosh are you okay? What happened?

Me: "James hit me."

Dad: "What why would your boyfriend do that to you."

Me: "We never got back together."

Dad: "What? I'm gonna kill him."

Dad started walking toward the door. 

Me: "Dad it's fine Max and Cameron are handling it. "

Dad: "No it's not."

Dad walked out side and saw Max and James fighting and punching each other. Cameron was in it too but he got hurt and was sitting on the sidewalk. 

Dad: "Both of you break it up. James how could you hurt my daughter? Go home, back to Nebraska and don't return. I don't even want you contacting my daughter."

James: "Yes sir. I'm sorry."

Dad: "I may be Catholic but I can't forgive you for hurting my daughter. Get off of my property. Now!"

James ran to his truck and drove away. Then it was Max and Cameron's turn.

Dad: "Are you boys okay?"

Max: "I'm okay but Cameron got punched in the head by that boy."

Cameron: "My head feels like it's pounding."

Dad: "Why don't both of you come in. We'll heal your wounds if you have any. Then we will contact your parents."

We took Max and Cameron inside. Janet was there with us too. My dad is a doctor and diagnosed Cameron with a concussion. We took him home to get rest and then we drove Max home too. Janet wasn't really hurt, but I didn't really want to be alone so I asked her to stay for dinner. We went upstairs and just really talked. I apologized for hurting her. Then she apologized for calling the cops. 

It was finally dinner time. We had lasagna. Janet actually really liked it. 

We apologized for everything after dinner in my room. We actually have a lot in common. Right now she is my best friend. 

We had so much fun I asked her to spend the night. Both her, her mom, and my parents agreed. She borrowed some of my clothes to spend the night. 

We mainly just talked about boys, watched movies, ordered a midnight pizza when my parents fell asleep, etc. It was surprisingly fun.

We eventually fell asleep around 4:48 A.M. and woke up around like 12:00 P.M. 

Janet got dressed in the same close she was wearing yesterday and we just stayed in my room and kept talking. 

At one point I had gone to the bathroom and she had talked to my parents about school. 

I walked over to her and my parents.

Mom: "Kate, Janet just told us about her school Woodrow Wilson and said she would love it if you went to her school. What do you think about that?"

Me: "Okay I'm fine with that."

Dad: "Great. I will get you registered first thing tomorrow."

We walked back to my room and played Charlie Charlie. Then we played Bloody Mary. 

Soon it was time for her to go home and for me to go to work. I worked part time so that's good for me that way I can have a social life too. 

I put on my work uniform that Cameron gave to me, hopped on my motorcycle and drove off to Froyo Polo. I think Texas is growing on me. I love it here!
