Zaylee Curtis 3

The Library

Jayden's POV

I'm in the library waiting for someone. Someone is suppose to meet me here after school and they're still not here yet. One of my buddies told me to come here, so I did. But he wouldn't tell me who wanted me here, he said the person wanted to stay anonymous. I heard a door open and then shut. I saw a girl turn the corner and once I saw who it was, I got up to leave. I wasn't ready to talk to Zay. It hurt to know what she asked, she didn't really think what I would feel like or what her brothers would feel like, did she?

As I got to the door, she stopped me by calling my name a little harsh. Then she turned me to face her and I looked at the ground as she looked straight at me. She didn't seem too happy with the way I was acting to her, well I am not happy the way she's acting around me or how she acted before.

"Aren't you even gonna look at me?!" She asked, her voice wasn't the same as before. Her voice showed hurt, anger and she seemed upset too. Well sorry, you put us in this mess and I don't know what we are now, if were done or not. If I leave her or she leaves me, I just don't know anymore.

"Hey, I'm talking to you." She said raising her voice a little higher. I just stood there not really listening to a thing she was saying. I am kinda upset still and I don't know, it's just hard. Hard to deal with a this, it just came so fast. She was thinking about dying the other day, do you know how that made me feel? Not good, not good at all. I felt terrible, for both her and I, for US. There's no US with a U, she's my U.

"You know what? That's it. I tried my best, but you won't even give me a chance to explain myself. Be that way, fine by me!" She said and stormed out of the library. The door slammed shut and I jumped a little still taking everything in. Wow, did I do this? Or did she? Maybe we did it? I mean, I was the one who got upset at her and then somewhat ignored her. I don't know how she feels, but I guess I have to stop her from doing something stupid. Because she usually ends up doing stupid stuff when's she upset or she goes to her safe place, the train yard.

I walked out of the school and made my way to where I think Zay is. I'll be dead if something happens to her, I mean I got Darry, Soda and Pony and all the other boys too to come and get me. She'll cry to them and tell them how bad I was. I knew I had to fixe this for us, the both of us. Not just for me but her. Mostly her because I hate seeing her upset like she is now and it's my fault for overreacting.

I got to the train yard and looked around for her. I could a train either leaving or coming in. So I ran towards the sound and sure enough there she was, on the tracks waiting to get hit by the train head on. I can't let her do this, shoot. No one would let her do this and I am gonna stop er no matter how much she may hate me. I ran down the track and the train is so close to hitting us or mainly her. I ran and pushed her off the track right before the train hit. I landed on the ground a couple feet away from her, her being farther from the train. I watched as the train passed and I could feel my heart beating so fast.

Once the train passed, I looked over at her coughing from all the dust the train created. I got up and walked over to her, my heart still racing faster then a horse. I sat down next to her rubbing her back, she tried pushing me away but, I didn't let her. She has to sit and calm down, realise what she was doing and what she has, why she has to stay here.

"Why you here?" She asked me looking up at me.

"Your welcome." I said. She rolled her eyes and looked the other way.

"I didn't need saving. I just wanted to be alone." She said.

"In flippin' heaven!" She looked up at me and her eyes went wide as she looked at me. I had tears in my eyes now knowing she truly wanted to leave this world, leave us all behind, not telling us. But I ruined her plans and I am so happy I did, my fault she was going to do this and I am proud that I ruined her plan to go to heaven or to Die!

"I'm sorry Jay. I wasn't thinking." She said. I walked over to her and pulled her up off the ground. She cried into my chest as I held her close to me and stroked her hair.

"Why? You want this?" I asked. "Because you would've left so many things her and one of them being me. The person who loves you a whole lot, the person who couldn't spend a day without you. I'm the shoulder you cry on, the one to say 'it's okay' or 'never give up'. I'm here Zay and you can always count on me, we might have our differences, but we have each other and we have to stick together no matter how big our mountain or roller coaster is, we'll get through it together. Okay?" I said. Man, I never knew I had that in me. But I guess I do and Zay was the one to show me that I had it in me. She showed me so many things I thought I didn't have.

"Okay" She said quietly hugging me now. I held her tight in my arms as I cried too. She was crying and I think we both became stronger now. Well I know I did, I know that I can tell her everything. I kissed her forehead and then she pulled apart from me and looked up at me. I kissed her passionately on the lips and she kissed me back smiling.

"Sorry for everything I put you through." She said.

"It's fine, we became stronger as one." I said. Her and I started walking hand and hand back to the train station. But instead of going all the way to the end of the tracks, she started to run and she pulled me along with her. I followed her aimlessly not knowing where she was taking me. She stopped at a broken down train and hopped inside. I jumped inside behind her and looked around, mad was this train amazing. It has so many  quotes and so many sayings or things people wrote. She tapped my shoulder and showed me a black marker. I took it and wrote my quote on the wall. "I will always remember to never forget about 'US'"

I gave her the marker and she wrote her thing on the wall as I read all the other sayings on the walls around us. Some were cool and some were different. She tapped my shoulder smiling and I turned to look at what she wrote. I read it and man did it mean something to us greasers. She wrote, " You are given the life you have because you're strong enough to live it"  Wow was all I could think about, that meant something and will mean something to us.

I walked over to the wall and sat down. Zaylee walked over to me and she sat beside me smiling and crying a little. I hugged her and kissed her forehead. She rested her head on my shoulder and I rested my head on her head. After awhile she fell asleep and I soon fell asleep too knowing that good things happen at the end of bad things.
