Need You Now (Watty Awards 2014)

Chapter 3

Hey lovies! Just put a pic of Chelsea on the side! LOve yall! <3

            I was excited beyond repair for Jacob's party tomorrow, but i was terrrified at the same time. I can only hope and pray that Mother will be too drunk to notice that i was ever gone. Maybe i can sneak into the closet when i sneak back into the house the next morning. That way she wont....you know. 

           As i walked to lunch, all i got were glares from Jacob's fan club. I rolled my eyes at their immaturity and took my spot at table 6 with Chelsea. Sitting with us is Jacob himslef, Taylor, and Erin. Taylor and Erin are also my other two best friends, but we just arent as close as Chelsea and I. They are still totally sweet though! They may be Captin and Co-Captin's of the cheerleading team, but they were totally goregeous inside and out! 

             I suddenly noticed that no one was talking. They were all staring at me. 

"What are ya'll gawking at? Do i have something on my face or something?" Erin rolls her eyes at my comment. "She hasn't noticed him guys." 

"You're losing your touch, Sarah!" Taylor sqealed. I'm the one everyone comes to for the latest gossip and secrets. Ironic since I have so many secrets myself. I shake off the cold sweat again and laugh.  

"Eddie Newman. He's totally hot and new. Think i should go out with him?" Chelsea said, extra perky which annoyed me to no end. Eddie Newman. I suddenly rememeber him coming out of his sexy red mustang this morning as Chelsea and i were walking into school. I had heard a few girls talk about him in first hour but wasnt paying enough attention. I was too busy thinking about Jacob's kiss. God, maybe i am losing my touch. 

"So, what's the dirt on him?" I asked, taking a bite of my sandwich and feeling Jacobs fingers tracing my knee. I smile at him and kiss his cheek. In the background i can hear Taylor and Erin whispering about how i finally gave in. I roll my eyes. He hasn't officially asked me to be his girlfriend just yet. And to be quite honest, i'm not sure i want to be. I mean, of course i WANT to be his girlfriend, but i'm still agruing with myself if it would be too complicated or not. 

"Hello!! Earth to Sarah! There is no dirt. Sadly. He actually used to come her two years ago, when we were freshman, but then moved to California. But, now he's back and as sexy as ever," Chelsea purred and Erin pretends  to fan herself. I giggle at my boy obsessed friends. Maybe that's why they were so obsessed with the fact that Jacob and I were starting to get flirty. If Jacob and i do start going out, he would be my first boyfriend. 

"Isn't he a senior?" Taylor asked, all excited about the new boy. She better quit thinking about him so much because i can already Chelsea is going to be after him. Chelsea can get any guy she wants. She just has that kind of power. But, if you get in the way of her making her move, you better watch out. She'll turn from perfect best friend to jealous bitch in a milisecond. I know. 

            In the 8th grade, Chelsea and i both were in love with Todd Harrison. He had the cutest blonde hair and the sparkliest blue eyes. All the girls were after him but we all new that Chelsea was the only one who stood a chance of dating him. Well, two weeks after they started dating, he started to text me, asking me if i would have sex with him. "UH, hell no!" is how i replied but Chelsea got super jealous, broke up with him, and ignored me for a month. Everytime she would see me at lunch she would make these sny little comments about me to Taylor and Erin. After i finally confronted her about it, we ended up telling each other off and crying and appologizing after. But the drama sucked ass. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. 

"Yeah, he is. God, I wish he would just ask me out already!" We all laughed and went back to eating. 

             At least us girls did. Jacob was still looking at me and to be honest it was sort of creeping me out. I poked his cheek and it made him blush. Oh, my God! I just made him blush! Which makes me blush like crazy.

"OH my God!!!! Will you two just make-out and date already!! You two both obviously like each other! My, God you two are so aggervating!" Erin yells. Chelsea kicks her under the table making Erin wince. I look over to Jacob who is already getting out of his seat, begging me to walk with him to his next class as the bell rings. I smile at him as he takes my hand. His hand is almost like a glove and fits perfectly in mine. 

              He walks with me all the way to his class. There is a little corner where girl's go to make-out with their boyfriend's so none of the teachers could see. I've never been in there because, well, I've never had a boyfriend. Jacob pulls me in there and i can already feel his hand on my cheek. Before i knew what was happening, he was kissing me. Not the way those sluts and man-whores kiss but gently, and soft. Like i was so fragile that if he kissed me any harder that i was going to break. I just stood there, with my hand on his chest, mesmerized. My first kiss. 

                       We come up and suprisingly, i'm out of breath. I just realized how brown his eyes were. 

"Did you get my note?" Jacob asks, making cirles on my palm with his thumb. It was so big compared to mine. I laugh. 

"Yeah. Don't worry, ill be there," I say before he kisses me again before going to class.

                     What the hell are you thinking Sarah?!!! Are you turning into some stupid, idiotic, lovesick teen???!! NO. You can't. Not with the life, and the secrets you have. You actually think you can go to that party without getting beaten to no end once you get home? You think you wont shed blood and get locked in the closet without food or water for two days?! Well you're wrong. Your a f***ing idiot!!!!! God! YOur so stupid. Dont act stupid. Dont do this. Because you know what will end up happening - voice in my head.  

                 And thats when i started to cry.
