The Day I Found True Love

Chapter 10: The Friendship

I sat alone waiting for the nurse to come back, but every time I looked thinking she was coming, there was no one around. I felt so confused, why did Jackson just kiss me, I get that he has no one but, he didn't have to kiss me, we don't even know each other.

I was swimming in a pool off my thoughts and I didn't know how to escape. I knew that if I got up and tried to walk I would fall face first, I was completely dazed and confused.

I shut my eyes closed and thought about how perfect Sophie is, and how she always makes me smile...I wish she was here right now I could really use one off her tight hugs, that I know she only gives me.

I felt my self drift off into a sleep, but suddenly I felt a jerking on my shoulder. I tried to open my eyes, but I was really tired, when I finally managed to open my eyes I got a freight of my life, Sophie was standing right in front off me.. I was literally just thinking about her a few moments ago.

With a groggy voice I muttered," what..are you doing here...?" I could barely open my eyes and focus, I also had a major headache that didn't seem to want to subside. "I came to see you, the doctor phoned me and told me that you never went home last night" it sound like she was worried. Yeah like she really cared...after I kissed her she basically gave me full on silent treatment so I wonder what changed from then to now.

"Its fine you can leave now...I'm fine you can see I'm fine, so there's no reason for you to be worried" I almost started giving her a sarcastic laugh because she actually looked hurt, well that's really sad for her because she never cared when I was hurt after the kiss. I was almost in tears for heavens sake!

"Natalia are you okay..., did something happen?" She knows damn well what happened and she has the nerve to ask me what happened! I was seriously going to lose it, I just got up and stormed out of the building.

"Sophie you know what, you hurt me so much without even knowing it, so please just leave me alone!" She looked at me stunned and seemed heartbroken...I hope she know how it feels to be heartbroken by someone you really care about a lot.

I just kept walking to wherever I could go, I just needed to get away from everyone and everything. I saw a guy stumbling on the side off the road, he looked really familiar. I walked on the opposite side of the road to try and get a better view off him and as I got closer I saw it was Jackson, Why was he drunk..he's underage that is illegal and that stuff doesn't make you think straight. I hate people who drink...my dad left us because he used to drink so much.

" Jackson..." It was barely even a whisper, I couldn't find the strength to speak up...he looked at me and I could clearly see the moonlight land on his bloodshot eyes. I slowly walked to him..because I didn't want him to fall while crossing the road. As I got to him I could see his checks were puffy and his nose was red, like his been crying for a really long time.

I just engulfed him in a hug and held him tight and I feel him laugh weirdly, I think it was because he was seriously drunk. "Jackson...where are you going" I could slowly feel the tears in my eyes, but I kept them back because I have to be strong for him.

" I don't know...just needed air...trying to clear my head...no where to really go" he never looked at me once while speaking. "Jackson, I know its hard especially with everything that happened to you in one day, but you can't just wonder around on the street something seriously bad can happen go you..."

"You can go...now..I don't need...you" he slurred as he spoke. "No I'm not going anywhere, I'm not just going to abandon my friend" I saw a tear slide down his face as he stared into space.

"Friends...I don't think we friends..I'm sorry for everything about the kiss..." There was another tear. I can't believe that the kiss was bothering him this much. I hope he doesn't think that I'm mad at him, I would never be mad at him.

"Jackson its okay, I didn't take it the wrong way. You are a really sweet person but I didn't kiss you back because I have feelings for someone else...and its not exactly what you think" he gave me a confused looked, and I could see clearly now the tear stains under his eyes.

"What do you mean?" I couldn't help but laugh at how confused he looked! "Um, its a lot more complicated than you think. Maybe we should just talk about this when you sober, I don't want you to be drunk when I tell you this."

"I think its better if I'm drunk, because if its bad then there's a better chance I will forget it...but if its good then I will also still forget it, but I'm also sort of sober.. So shoot?"

He sounded sober...but I don't know if I can tell him this...this is something that's really personal and a big thing for me to do. I took a deep breath in and out and closed my eyes. I just needed to think for a bit before I say something I will regret.

"Jackson..whatever I tell you know, you have to keep it to yourself because this is something I don't go around and share with people." He just nodded his head and told me to proceed.

"Um...okay well I sort of have feelings for someone else as you know. I only know that someone for 2 months but I think I'm in love, and I don't know what to do because she is such an amazing person and I don't think she will ever like me the way I like her.." I only realized after that I accidentally said 'she'.

"Wait, are you saying you not completely straight...?" I didn't want to say anything to embarrass myself so I just nodded and turn my head to the side. "Hay its okay, I completely understand now why you didn't kiss me back...but Natalia just know that I'm always here for you and you can talk to me...even though I'm a wreck myself I want to know you, you actually a really cool person and I think you shouldn't let what other people think stop you from being you."

"Did you just give me advice in your drunken state" I couldn't help but giggle, I sounded so stupid. "If you didn't notice I'm not drunk anymore, and yes I did give you advice...I hope you take it!" He doesn't know how much what he said means to me...he literally touched down on every point that was bothering me.

"Jackson you can stay over st my house tonight if you want I have a spare room and I won't be able go sleep if you stay out here in the freezing cold all by yourself and plus I'm lonely at home"

"Yeah sure its fine I don't mind...I don't really want to be alone either...I need company, I just need to get clothes from my house quickly because I don't think you have anything for me?"

"I do have some clothes of my brothers...but I don't know if it will be too big for you?" I laughed at myself trying to picture Jackson wearing my brothers clothes! " I'll just go home first its not a big deal don't worry, just getting one off my brothers friends to come pick us up, I can't really drive"

Jackson and I waited patiently for Simon, supposedly Jackson's brothers friend, to come and pick us up...they finally came 20 minutes later than what we expected.
