Changes

Chapter 6

Jasmine's POV

I quickly take a shower and change into yesterday's clothing.

"Thank you for everything." I remark his sacrifice.

"It's nothing, really. My home is your home and you can come over anytime." he shyly tells me.

"Are you skipping class today?" I smirk as I take a look at his morning appearance.

"What do you think?" he playfully replies.

"You're going to Navy Pier." I withdraw my conclusion.

"Nah, but we can go this weekend if you'd like?" he asks. Is he seriously inviting me to Navy Pier? That's like $3o for parking, wow.

"I'll have to think about it." I say.

"Since when does Jasmine Green think about things? he challenges.

"Since she met Brian May." I challenge back.

"It will be fun. My buddies will be there." he tries to convince me. I stay silent.

"Or we can go to Millennium Park?" he asks as my smile brightens.

"Oh my god! I love Millennium Park!" I say as I remember the world famous bean and that project I did on it in seventh grade.

"Then Millennium Park it is! Tomorrow then?"

"Sure." I simply say. Is this a date? My conscious says yes, but I say no.

"I gotta go or i'll get another tardy from Mr. Andrews, or as i'd like to call him, Mr. Titanic Sinking." I laugh.

"Good nickname, nothing too obvious." We share a laugh together.

I wave a friendly goodbye to him and I "accidentally" flip him off when I close the door behind me.

Why is suddenly Brian all I think of. I don't know, but I have this feeling in me that makes me so gitty whenever i'm with him. He just makes my day better. These thoughts go through my head all day long.

...

After school, I go down to Kmart to buy some random junk food to store in my car. When i'm already at the cash register paying, I see Freddie enter the store. My feet stay cold. I don't want him to start something here in the middle of Kmart. I quickly pay my things and leave the store before he sees me. Once I get into the parking lot, I am relieved that he didn't see me. Should have thought sooner. I feel a cold hand on my shoulder and I look back.

"You thought you could get rid of me that easy huh? Yeah, well you thought wrong you little bitch. You are mine and I ain't going to let you leave never, you hear me." I shiver as his words leave his cold lips.

"Get the fuck away from me!" is all I say. He tries to pull me by my arm to his old pickup but I drop my things and use self defense. I dodge his arm and he tries to fight me back. I duck under before his fist meets my jaw. He grabs me by my neck and is nearly choking me. This can either go two ways. One, I kick him and run away. Two, I let him strangle me and leave me lying in the parking lot. I quickly fight back and kick him in the place men can only urge to fight back, his balls. He falls to the floor and I see him in agony as I dial 911 for the first time and don't regret it.

Once the cops have taken him, and I have explained myself, I feel a giant relief off my shoulder. I text Brian so I can come over. He responds just as I arrive in his driveway. I find something that I have not expected to see when I knock on the door.

A blonde girl, only wearing a short strapless mini dress opens the door.

"Ugh are you looking for Brian?" she asks and her voice is clearly annoying and already giving me a headache. Time to hide behind my shield.

"Who else would I be looking for?"

"Oh yeah..haha, come on in, he's in the restroom." All my hopes and dreams have been shattered.

Brian's POV

Shit. When I walk out of the restroom, I see a heartbroken Jasmine. I can't explain myself to her well because we aren't even a couple. It just breaks my heart to see this.

"Hey Jasmine, this is my cousin Macy." I point to Macy, trying to lose tension in the small living room.

"Hello." she simply replies, annoyed.

"Well, I got to get going now you two love birds." she says as she winks at Jasmine. She shuts the door behind

her and leaves me alone with Jasmine.

Jasmine's POV

I don't know what to say to him. I should just leave, I just shouldn't have came here in the first place. It's just.. I can't stay away from him.

"Hey," is all I spit out. What can I say, he makes me weak.

"Hey, take a seat." he commands as he points to the small leather couch. I take a seat and he sits next to me.

"I'm sorry about my cousin, I hope you didn't think I was sleeping with her." he blushes a little.

"No, not at all." I say and suddenly I feel anger building up inside me.

"Do you want to eat something?" he asks.

"Sure," I don't remember the last time I ate something. He disappears into the kitchen and quickly returns with Doritos, popcorn, waffles and two cans of coke.

"What a chef!" I sarcastically remark.

"Yeah, yeah." he shyly smirks. He then turns on the television and we watch Castle while devouring our snacks. I don't know what happened but I believe that I fell asleep on his shoulder and he dragged me up to his bedroom.

...

Brian's POV

Jasmine's been peacefully sleeping all night long. I, however have just been watching her sleep like a baby. She finally wakes up around 10 and she has a huge grin on her perfect face.

Jasmine's POV

I see his perfect curly black hair and I don't resist to play with it. We start laughing so much that I fall on top of him. We are face to face and We both move closer and closer until our lips touch and our tongues unite.
