Thursday Night- Jonny and Tiffani (section 4.4)

Ø  Thursday Night-Baci Backyard/Jonny and Tiffani

In the pitch black night, Jonny sat on a bench in the backyard, right at the edge of the property almost into the forest, looking up at the starry sky. What just happened today? Jonny thought as he was identifying the constellations. Why did she run away from me? Why did I punch Shawna? I mean I would never hit one of my leaders, let alone knock them out cold. I also hurt Brenna, a little but, not as bad as Shawna. There is something going on with me and I don’t know what it is.

Jonny doesn’t know what to do about “her” and he doesn’t know exactly how he feels about her either. Life here is just too damn confusing, Jon was thinking as he was standing up off of the bench. I have never felt confused about a girl. I have had a lot of experience with girls before and none of it has ended up like this.

“Come on Jon, you need to stop thinking about her.” Jonny said to himself as he was rolling his eyes. He went and sat back down on the bench. “Now I am talking to myself, how pathetic.”

“You are pretty pathetic,” A voice from behind Jonny said while scaring him half to death; the voice made him jump and fall off the bench.  He turned his head slowly to see who had been watching him, it was her, it was Tiffani.  Her black hair was down and in her face; he saw that she had been crying.

He got up off the ground, brushing the dirt off of his butt.  Jonny took her by the shoulders pushing her further into the woods and out of view from Shawna’s window.  “You can’t be here!” he hissed at her, looking into her confused gaze, “She’s gonna know and she’s gonna kill you, and then she’s gonna kill me.”

“Slow down,” Tiffani was getting tired just trying to keep up with what Jonny was saying, “Who is she? And why would she kill you?”

Jonny took a deep breath to calm himself, “Shawna.  If she thinks we are meeting secretly or knows for a fact we are, she will kill me, I mean she already beat me up today.”

She giggled, “I can see that,” She ran her long fingers down the red marks and scratches on his face; “You shouldn’t be such a bad boy.”  She looked him in the eyes, smirking.

He caught her hand when it was up by his face.  “You don’t understand, when it comes to you I can’t seem to be good.”

“Then explain it to me,” Tiffani said with a sigh now trailing her fingers down his neck, “I feel like I know you so well at times, and other times you are such a mystery and we just met this morning.”

He shivered as he felt her cool hands run across his skin, “I can’t explain.  You’ll run away.”  Jonny felt a lump forming in his throat.

“I’m not going anywhere.”

Jonny grabbed Tiffani by her waist and pulled her close to him, leaning down slowly.  He felt her breath across his face and he lost it.  He pulled her in harshly, kissing her passionately.  Tiffani let her lips part and Jonny tasted her lips, he tasted her.  He put his hands underneath her shirt digging his fingers into her back.

Tiffani pulled away from Jonny quickly. 

“What did I do?” Jonny questioned her.

“Nothing, you didn’t do anything.  I just can’t be here right now, I don’t know if I can do this,” Tiffani had been backing away slowly as she said this, and when she finished she turned around and ran back into the forest.

Jonny stood there by himself for awhile, still breathing hard from the kiss that had ended to abruptly, he sat back down on the bench.  He was questioning what he had done, and what he should have said different.

Jonny got up from the bench and went inside the house. As he was heading to his room, he turned off the lights in the other rooms where the lights were on. Once he is in his room, Jonny just laid in bed with his eyes open. His mind was working and processing everything at a million miles an hour and it wouldn’t rest.

After an hour of lying there, Jon finally fell asleep.
