New school, New crush

Chapter 18

Previously...

"Hey Roni, Nessa" they greeted. "I missed you" one of them said to me coming in for a hug. But I squatted down so that he would hug the air. He frowned "Ok maybe I deserved that".

Before anything else could happen, Roni and I ran, ran as fast as we could. We had like twin telepathy so we knew when to run.

I can't believe they're here......What?!

Vanessa POV

"Did I just see, who I thought I saw?" I asked Roni who was breathless. We didn't even ran as far as I thought we would, why is she breathless?

"Pretty sure" she comfirmed. "Why are they here? In America, in LA!" I complained.

"They shouldn't be here. How did they even get the money to come here? Well it isn't that exspensive to buy a flight from Britain to America and also they're rich so thats understandable. But why are they here? If they're here to hurt us, I'm breaking all 206 bones in their body. I mean like yo-" I was cut off by Roni when she yelled at me to stop "NESSA STOP! WHY DON'T YOU GO AND ASK THEM, DUH!".

"Well....I don't know....I mean like- what if they- I can't just-" I fumbled on my words. Is fumble even a word, if it is, who the hell uses fumble anymore. Jeez Nessa your so old.

"Yeah thats what I thought" she said in a 'hah I win this round' tone. Which made me roll my eyes. "We can't just go out there and ask them, after what we've been through isn't it awkward?" I told her making her nod in understandment. "Yeah true but we can always- never mind scratch that" she said looking at the ceilling. I looked up to the ceilling too and saw nothing. What is she looking at?

"Yo Ron--" I said snapping my fingers in front of her face "--Roni, earth to Roni".

"Hey, Why'd you guys run away?" a voice asked behind me which made me tense.
"Because we hate you, and you hate us" Roni answered bluntly. "You guys should just leave. You don't belong here, you don't belong in our lives" I said with much venom.

"We're sorry, we didn't know what we were saying or doing during that time" one of them replied. "Christian just leave us alone" I demanded. "No, I need you" Christian said almost breaking his voice.

Those four words made me tense. Christian and Brent looked at each other as if having a conversation with their blue/green and brown eyes.

Before we knew it, Christian was pulling my hand and bringing me....somewhere I don't know. And Brent was pulling Roni's hand to somewhere....I don't know....again.

"Where are we going?" I asked trying to control myself from freaking out that his here and could feel the sparks and electricity running through my hand right now.

"Somewhere" he replied easily. "Christian, let me go" I demanded only to be ignored. "Christian why are you here?"

He muttered an answer and I couldn't quite here it, all I heard was 'want' and 'back'.
"Let me go" I demanded again. "No".

"Please"

"No"

"Why?"

"Because"

"Thats not an answer".

"It is to me" he said shrugging making me want to slap him silly. Its taking everything in me not to punch or kick him where the sun don't shine.

He sighed, then he stopped. "I'm sorry" he apologized. "Why?" although I knew the answer I just wanted to hear it from him.

"For acting like a jerk, for not being understanding, for not being who will stand by your side no matter what--" he took a deep breath and continued "--after those weeks without you, I thought I could handle it without you. But I was wrong, I want you, I need you. Your like a drug, cliche I know. But its true, in fact its worse. I realized I can't go one day without you. I-I love you".

I was stunned, I was touched, I was flattered. I didn't know what to do, so I did the first thing that came to mind. I hugged him. At first he was stiff and shocked, but evantually he hugged me back.

"I love you too. I missed you Chris. I want you. I need you" I cried. He sighed in relief....I think.

"You have no idea how I felt without you" he muttered.

"Same here" I agreed.

"I want to promise you something Nessa" he said. He took something out and said

"Nessa, we may be young, but I promise to...."

Veronica POV

"What the hell Brent? Let me go!" I yelled making him flinch. He turned to me with a pained and pleading expression. I just wanted to hug him and tell him it was ok, but I realized that I'm the one who maked him feel that way and that just makes me wanna jump of a cliff.

"Fine" I gave in. His face lit up a little, just a little. He dragged me behind the school and I looked at him questionly "If you're gonna kill me, then make it fast".

He chuckled in response. "I wanna talk to you about--" he pointed in between him and me "--us".

"What about us?" I asked curious to what he'll say.

"These past few weeks, it feels like I'm living in a hell hole. And it took me a while to figure out why. I figured it out, it was because of you--" I was gonna interupt him but he gave me another pleading face making me shut up "--I'm not saying its your fault, I'm saying I miss you. I miss you a lot and when I'm without you I feel like a billion rocks are hitting me in the face. In my dreams, you're with me. We'll be everything we wanted us to be. Roni, I love you and I will never stop. Without looking in the mirror, I could tell I look like a wreck. I've been lacking sleep, this may not be manly but I cry. I cry everynight. I cry about you. What I did, it was unforgivable, but please, give me another chance. I need you. I love you" he finished and in the middle of his speech tears started falling from his eyes rolling down his cheeks.

Did I do this to someone? Was this all me? How? Why? When? What?!

"I-I m-missed you" I said tears threatening to fall. He looked relieved, in fact his face lit up complepletely. Like he just won the lottery. "Oh my gosh Roni. I missed you too' he replied. "I need you too" I cried hugging him and crying into his shirt.

"So....second chance?" he asked sounding desperate. "Second chance" I comfirmed. "Thank you, thank you, thank you".

Before I could say anything, he kissed me.

I felt it, I felt it heal. Healing slowly, piece by piece. I felt like it was only me and him. Only the two of us in this whole world. Nothing can break us apart now.

"Roni, I have something to say" he said pulling away. I could still feel his lips on mine.

"Go ahead"

"Roni, I want to make you a..."
