Girl Next Door- an Emblem3 story

"Not fair"

I finished writing my name in the fogged up window. It was raining. The only day it rained here in California while I was here.

"You ready?" Drew asked from the drivers seat. I nodded as he got my bags from the trunk.

I slowly followed Drew towards my plane. "Well this is it lex. I'll miss you" he came in for a hug and I hugged him back because I was going to miss him. "love you lex"

"Love you too, you little moron" I grinned at him slightly as he backed away. "Sure gonna miss your company."

"HA! Like you wanted it!" I laughed and he did the same.

"You little jerk, get on your plane." I gave him one last hug before I walked away.

"Wait lex." I turned around slowly. "Yes Drew?"

In the smallest voice I have heard from my brother, a voice I didn't know he had. "I'm sorry"

I opened my eyes real wide,giving him a questioning look.

I know what he was talking about but I was questioning if he was sorry.

"You know, with Kimmy and all"

"Yes Drew I remember. I also remember how you set this all up. This was your plan after all. So are you pleased with the ending?"

"Alexis of course not. I didn't want Kimmy to die. I didn't want you to leave..." I cut him off.

"But you sure didn't want me to go out with Wes. You didn't want me to be happy, did you? So bye drew. Thanks for, what? Ruining my summer?" I walked away. But soon turned around to say the needed goodbye. "See ya dickhead. Hopefully it won't be when your twentieth girl of the week is over. Doing what she does every night. Make sure your protected!" And like that, I walked off. I did draw some attention and even made Drew's moth drop to the floor. I just kept my eyes in front and walked. Drew called my name but I didn't pay any attention to it.

I soon reached the front desk, handing the last my ticket. "Mrs. Chadwick, your seat will be on the right, window side. Seat 21. Have a nice flight."

I took my seat. I had my phone in hand, laptop, and headphones. I sat there for a couple of minutes. Soon had company.

A tall boy probably a year or two older than me. He has light brown hair and brown eyes. A sweet smile. Broad shoulders but thin body. He wore a blue tshirt and gray sweatpants. "Hey, what's up?"

I smiled as he put his bags up ahead. "Hey" I watched as he checked both pockets for his phone and he got some stuff out of his bag for the plane ride.

I tossed my phone in my hand and looked out the window. How could Drew be such an idiot. He thought I would throw it aside like that. He ruined my whole summer. Yeah Wesley had mistakes and flaws but a lot of people do. I loved wes and drew destroyed that because he didn't like it. Uhg we've never fought like this. We usually got along.

"I'm not a therapist but I feel that your are upset." I laughed at this. The boy grinned feeling I approved him. "Not a therapist? Really? How did you know then?" It was his turn to laugh. " no really go on, tell me what's wrong." The boy seemed sweet and all bit I can't. I barely know him." I'm sorry I don't really know who you are. And you don't know me."

"Easy. My name is Jake Lumney. My favorite color is red. I play hockey, football, and I surf. I came here to visit my grandparents. I love to ski. I have a dog, a pug named Charles. I have three younger sisters; 5, 12 and 15. I'm single. And I'm scared of heights, that's why I don't sit window seat on planes."

I smiled, it wasn't forced this time. I couldn't hide it. My grin went from ear to ear. Out of no where I laughed. I laughed so loud I think the pilot could hear me. I didn't stop either. Jakes small smile vanished to a confused look , then anger, then embarrassment. I couldn't stop laughing. He moved in his seat but our eye contact never broke. His eyes gave me a spark. He was like the wood to my fire. When my laughter hushed down I still saw the embarrassment. "Jake.... I'm sorry I didn't mean too. I just.. Idk.." The eye contact broke. That's when I died. He looked away. I literally died inside. He was looking in the aisle trying not to make a connection.

I couldn't. Jake please stop. Look at me! I don't know what happened. I don't know what came over me. But I took his face and in one motion I turned it and leaned in. I kissed him.

I KISSED HIM!

I, ALEXIS CHADWICK, KISSED A COMPLETE STRANGER ON THE PLANE.

That's not what surprised me. It was that he kissed me back. And I liked it. It sparked. Not like Wes ever sparked. It was new. Fresh. And jake felt it too. I pulled away. Grinning. "It....it..." He nodded "I know" I laughed as he did as well. "Well nice to meet you too." He said through his laughter. As we settled down, "so now tell me. What are you like. What's your goddamn name?"

"I'm Alexis Chadwick. I came to Cali to visit my brother, like I do every summer. I surf and ski. I only have an older brother, drew. I'm 17, I turn 18 on August 1st. Annnnd I just kissed a stranger..."

"Okay know that we know eachother, why were you upset."

"Ohh jake no. We don't have time for it." He gave me a look of disappointment. I shook my head no. His lips, puppy dog face. Not fair! "Uuuuuuuhh fine! But your not gonna like this! I came here and I fell In love with a boy my brother hates. They never got along. Then we dated and when my brother found out he tried to separate us. He told one of his friends, Kimmy, to try and break us up. So she started to 'like' my boyfriend. It pissed me off. I didn't know if he liked her back but they were always together. She told lies on how they kissed. She was stealing him from me. Soon me and Wesley were fighting and then she felt awful. She hated herself. She committed suicide. It was all my brothers fault for making her do this. Then we fought. I never talked to Wesley again because I was pissed on some stuff he said and did when he was with Kimmy. Annnnnd I couldn't handle this so I went home early." He just looked at me. "I...... I'm sorry... That sounds like it sucked..."

"HA it did."

"But you know you can't blame your boyfriend. He was being played as much as you were, if not worse. And you shut him down. You said you loved him but if you loved him you would know it's not his fault."

"I do know it's not his fault."

"Then why aren't you with him?"

"Idk... It didn't work out."

"So it wasn't love than? If you loved him you would have fought for him."

"Okay whatever I'm done."

"I'm sorry"

"I'm going to bed. I'm tired."

"Okay....."
