My New Life and Coping With It

Old Memories Die Hard

When we finally got back to our house i bolted out and ran inside. I met Tessa and said,"i need to tell u guys about my first day of school"

"alright babygirl come on." she said and then used the PA system to call all the available boys into the livingroom.

When they all arrived i. Spilled everything to them. From how someone flirted with me, to how i had a fight with Heather. I told them from how i made 5 new friends and from how i was sent to the principal office for discussion.

When i finished i cringed at the silence. I looked at Tessa and she looked......happy? Wait what?

"why do u look happy?" i ask Tessa

"because u stood u for yourself and ur friends! U also told the truth about what happened!" she cried and then hugged me. I laughed and hugged her back.

" my girlfriend did that to u?! Michael cried!

"yeah but don't worry. She didn't hurt me and in gym i did backflips to grab the ball and threw it at her. It hit her square in the stomach. Payback's a b****h. Exspecially from me. She said she would make my life a living hell though but whatever." i say. They looked at me and i laugh again. I excused myself and head upstairs to change and take a bath.

Neal's P.O.V.

Wow. She can protect herself and look good at the same time. She is really awesome.

She excuses herself and heads up to her bedroom. I follow her.

"hey. Do u want to do something at the basement?" i ask. She jumps at my voice and turns around gracefully but her face was pink

"sorry. I didn't mean to frighten u." i say sheepishly. I scratch the back of my head.

"sure" she says and smiles. Her smiles are so pretty. I lead her to the basement and we both go the karoake machine. She pick the song 'whiteflag' by Dido. She started to sing and her boice was so smooth and perfect. What why am i saying that? I don't love her. Or do i? When she finished i pick 'Glad You Came' by The Wanted. I started singing and she started swaying. She got up and started to do a lyrical dance. Her 5'9 body moved so gracfully. When see turned around i saw that her purple eyes were blazing and that tears streaked down her face. Her smooth skin had 2 lines of tears steadily flowing down. I stopped singing and caught her when she was about to collapse. Sparks flew when i touched her. She hugged onto me and it felt so right. She cried and cried and cried into my chest that my shirt was soaked but i didn't care. All i cared about was her and the electricfying shocks she gave me. Soon enough her crying came to a stop and she started snoring lightly. It was 5:47 pm so i picked her up bridal style and carried her into her room. I placed her on her bed but all she did was tighten her grip around me so i picked her up and sat on her bed and placed her on my lap. She looked so peaceful. Her pink lips looked so kissable right now. I dozed off after a while.

Jade's P.O.V.

I wake up to the sound of a heartbeat and light snoring. I look around. This was my room i realized. I was on Neal's lap right now. I turned beet red. The last thing i remember was crying into Neal's shirt because of the lyrical dance i did. Neal stirred underneath me. I got off of him and suddenly i became cold. I shivered. Neal woke up and looked at me. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me to him. Warmth surged into me. I sighed.

" why were u crying?" he asks

" because of the lyrical dance i did. My mom taught me that and my parents and sister loved the dance. It was their favourite." my voice cracked on the last sentence. Tears bubbled in my eyes.

"shhh. Please don't cry." he soothes. I hadn't noticed until now but he was smoothing down my hair and everytime he does that it sends electrifying jolts down me.

"dinners ready" Tessa's voice says. I jump up startled but Neal pulls me down. He let goes of me and i walk to my bathroom and wash my face. Then we head downstairs for dinner.

We sit down next to each other.

Tessa says," we will have your family's funeral in the next 2 weeks Jade. Is that alright with u?"

My eyes bubble with tears at the thought of my parents and sister's funeral.

"aww come on! I just got her to stop crying!" Neal said beside me. He informs everyone everything. By he time he finishes we all finiahed our dinner and the dishes are already packed up. Everyone gave me space for the rest of the night. I got upstairs and took a bath were i let my tears run down my face. I get out and change into a black pj suit and cried myself to sleep. I didn't have any dreams that night. All in all i had better nights.
