The Beauty of Death

Chapter 4: How It Began, Part 1

I should have never walked back with Jessamine. I shouldn't have ever sat back down with her until the end of our lunch period; I shouldn't have talked with her the whole time about our favorite movies and our favorite books. I should have just thanked her and went on my way, but no. She had to be so tempting to me with her beautiful eyes and that perfect smile. Before I knew it, she was brushing her hand against mine. And eventually she was holding it. Then, she would kiss my cheek and glare at girls who stared at us, even though they weren't staring at me.

It felt great to be wanted by someone. To be noticed. That feeling had scared me because I had never wanted to feel this way before. But with Jessamine, I wanted her to want me and only me. I got jealous over the guys staring at her admiringly, I got uneasy when they flirted with her right in front of me, and I was scared of losing her. She became my weakness in every way..

2 weeks after the cafeteria incident..

Our usual routine now was Jess coming to my house every morning in her brand new 2012 Dodge Dart before school. My parents had been appalled at first, but were happy for me irregardless. It was the first real "friend" I'd had since elementary school and I was sure they were about to send me to a counselor to fix my issues. Now that Jess was in my life, however, their plans were roadblocked and I was free for a little while.

Jess typically came an hour before school started so she could update me on what she hadn't texted me about and drive 15 minutes to the closest Starbucks, well, it wasn't a Starbucks but it was the closest thing to one that our area would ever get. She'd try to get me to eat something, I'd refuse, we'd bicker, and she'd give in after lecturing me about nutrition. That morning, she told me about her morning fiasco with her neighbor's cat as we got out of her car and entered the school. Hand in hand, of course.

The stares were as abundant as ever and not discreet. I didn't think the girls were staring at me because they were jealous, but Jess had always thought so and tended to pull my arm around her and tug me closer. This had happened every morning for the past week or so, and it made my pride jostle up just a little bit.  We had entered our shared class and sat next to each other, Jess having to move her desk closer to mine to be able to talk to me, when asked me a baffling question.

"You wanna come over tonight and hang out? My parents aren't home and I figured some.. alone.. time would be nice," she smiled and said in her mesmerizing voice. I wasn't sure how to respond, so I had just shrugged and hid my face to hide the red creeping up from my neck. She had taken that as a yes and squealed in excitement.

"Oh, we can watch so many movies! Well, not that many since it's a school night but a few! Which ones should we watch? Maybe the first Harry Potter? Ooh we could watch The Danish Girl.. so many choices!"

She had continued talking until the bell rang with only me paying half attention. I was so nervous I felt like I was going to puke, and for the rest of the day I was like that. With Jess worrying I hadn't eaten enough. She had no idea how wrong she was though...

------------------------

OKAY so this is a part one, part two kind of chapter. Cliffffffhangerrrrrr. So what will Jess do to our victim in the next chapter, hm? Will she groom him more, will she have the big s-e-x? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW.. But it will surprise you. Until next time~
