In Our Youth

Tears

   Rain. Rain fell from the sky onto Jade. She was leaning against the well trying to stop her crying. She couldn't stop though. No matter how hard she tried. Tears kept falling. She furiously wiped them away. Mad at herself. She should've listened when her mother told her he changed. His laughter rang through her ears. He laughed at her. Jade let out a loud sob. Sh scratched her face and screamed. She was idiotic. Les tres fous fille! 

   She leaned her head back and shut her eyes. Just for a moment she thought. But in mere seconds she fell asleep.

-The next morning-

   She awoke to a stranger running their fingers in her hair. She felt strangely warm to. She looked down only to see a coat draped around her form. A red coat with gold trim. Jade looked up at the stranger to see Gaston. His eyes closed. This was obviously a strange sight because as people walked by they said it was so strange that Gaston had stayed there for a good few hours. Gaston's humming soothed Jade. "Good morning, Mon Fille", he whispered. 

   Jade jumped. She was frightened by the words. Mon fille. He called her that when they were younger. She shot up from her position. Jade glared at Gaston, causing him to smirk. "Well aren't you a ball of joy in the morning". "You jerk!", she hissed. Gaston's eyes narrowed. "Is that so"? "It is so"! She stood up with her hands on her hips. He smirked. "Lovely view from down here", he purred. "You're so annoying"! She threw the jacket at him so it covered his face. Three girls let out a loud gasp. Jade turned to them before waving her finger at them. "And you! I have no idea what you see in this man! He is a rude, Inconsiderate, self-absorbed jerk"! More tears fell down Jade's face. 

   Gaston put his hand on her shoulder, and before he could say anything Jade turned and slapped him. He looked at her in shook. "And you. You're not who I once knew"! Jade turned on the heel of her boot and walked off. Gaston watched her walk off. And so did her mother. Her mother frowned. She was about to go after her, but she saw Gaston run after her. A small smile spread on the woman's face. 

  Gaston caught up to Jade, grabbing her arm. Rougher then he intended. She turned, tear stained face. His expression softened. He opended his arms and she went in willingly. His arms wrapped around her small frame. Jade grabbed the fabric of his shirt in her fists. Gaston rest his head on hers. Gaston kept whispering to Jade. He was muttering sorry over and over. 

  Jade pulled away, and cupped his face. "You've changed. So much. Now tell me why"? Gaston snapped. "Because I'm the best! I can get whatever or whoever I want! I am Gaston! This town's hero, and the focus of everyone. Everyone loves me! Why you ask! Because I became a strong man in that war! I'm a leader darling, I take what I want and do as I please! And I plan on taking you as my wife"!

   Jade stumbled backwards. Her face contorted in anger. "I will never marry you Gaston"! Jade attempted to leave but Gaston grabbed her wrist. Jade whimpered. "I'm sorry Jade I just freaked out a little bit. I'm sorry I... I apologize for my actions". Jade shook her head. She tore her arm out of his grip. She stomped off. Gaston was angry. He went off to the Tavern to have a few drinks. Jade really hid behind one of the shops to see his reaction. Not impressed.

   In the shadows one man watched Jade. He was fascinated by her beauty. By how she stood up to Gaston. He knew his brother was terrible. But never thought he could hurt a woman like that.

I was gonna make this longer but I thought of the most twisted, fucked up story with Gaston in it and I want to start that, but don't fret I will still update this story. Also who saw that ending coming? Question though, does anyone know a name for him? I'm not sure what I'm gonna name him so ideas would be appreciated. And Gah! I meant to bring LeFou into this chapter but I didn't! Next chapter I promise. But stay tuned for my new story coming later tonight. I just have to warn that it will be insanely fucked up. Anyways,

BYE LOVELIES!
