Two sides to Every Story

Chapter Ten: Keagen

I send another blonde girl up the lift. She nervously squeals with delight as her friends wave to her from the seats in front. A group of tall tan guys approach the lift and look me up and down. They snicker as they whisper to each other  and punch one another in the shoulder. The tallest of the group comes up to me with his chest puffed out and gusto dripping from his confident walk.

“My friends and I want to know how much you’ll suck my dick for.” his voice booms as I flinch back.

“E-excuse me sir, that is an inappropriate question. Please either ride the ski lift or leave.” I respond with the protocol when a situation takes a sudden turn for the worst. I refuse to let him get the best of me.

The guy steps closer and pins me down on the ski shack, “Come on, you’d do it for free right?” His hands snake their way up my shirt.

And that’s all it takes.

I slam my already curled up fist into his gut. As he starts to curl up from the pain I jerk my knee up into his face; he falls back into the snow with blood pouring from his nose. I jump down on top of him laughing and continue to beat the living shit out of him.

“Hey asshole! Don’t you feel super cool right now? Bet it was worth it, coming all the way over here hoping to get some for free.” I lean in closer to his ear and whisper, “Well honey I ain’t cheap, you just can’t afford me.” I wink and get off him.

His friends immediately surround me. I have to admit I’d be completely fucked if my supervisor didn’t see the mess and come running over.

“Hey break it up!” His voice is harsh and macho.

The two tanned fists grabbing my jacket let go and I fall on my ass next to the bloody mess I’d left in the snow, also known as tanned jerk number one. The group descends down the hill with their unconscious friend. My supervisor lends his hand out and I take it.

“Man I could have handled it!” I lied brushing the snow off my jacket.

“I’m your uncle, it’s my responsibility to keep you out of trouble. Plus, I don’t want you giving my business a bad rap, beating up customers isn’t exactly considered hospitable you know.” he laughs and slugs me in the shoulder.

“You should’ve heard what they were saying Jake, I just can’t take people talking to me like that!” My eyes fill with anger and I have to look down at the pure white snow for a moment to regain control.

“I know it’s hard for you Keag, but being different means you’ll have to put up with even more crap than everyone else does. You’re strong though, so I know it’ll work out in the end. Now why don’t you go warm up in the lodge, you’ve been out here for a long time.” he smiles at me kindly and I nod.

As I head down the hill I see something that stops me in my tracks and stills my heart. The most beautiful girl I’d ever seen standing less than five feet away looking like the most heavenly snow angel in the world. Her beautiful eyes like shimmering crystals;  I was immediately lost in them, not wanting to find my way out. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t let her get away like I’d done with other gorgeous girls for the benefit of my friends. It was about time I got to have something special.

She walked towards the lodge with her suitcase and I followed close behind. Soon enough I chickened out, too afraid to talk to her, but before I decide to head back I catch a glimpse of the room number she disappeared into. I make it my mission to find out who she is and make her my angel.

For the rest of the night I spend all my time in the lobby of the lodge waiting for her to appear. Several staff members try to make me leave but I avoid them by telling them I work for the ski lift and I’m waiting for a group of tourists to take up the mountain. It’s past midnight by the time I finally see her come into the lobby; she sits down on the carpet in front of the roaring fire and stretches her legs out. She’s in her pajamas; a black and white jersey and tiny black shorts. I quietly get up from my position, which is upside down on the leather couch on the other side of the room, and walk towards her. I gently sit down next to her and sneak a peek to the side.

Her raven hair swoops over her eyes and her lips quiver from the cold. I’d swear she was someone I’d already known...

“Keagen?” her soft voice floats through the air wrapping itself around my heart. She knows me?

“What are you doing here?”  this time her voice is louder and I recognize it.

Holy shit it’s Meems.

“M-M-Meems?! That’s y-you?” I jump back.

Her face blushes and she turns away. “Yeah it’s me.” she says in a faint whisper.

My beautiful angel is Meems. My best friend’s girl, well technically not, I mean it’s not official or anything...

“You look beautiful!” I blurt out. My face instantly lights up and my cheeks feel like lava.

She giggles and looks at me; god she’s so beautiful! I’d forgotten what she really looked like. When we were little kids our moms took us on play dates and I’d always had a huge crush on her, but when she’d changed in middle school something changed inside me and I felt empty. We were supposed to be together, the two outsiders against everyone else. But then she became one of them and left me alone.

“Thanks Keag, I wasn’t sure how people would take it. But I just want to be me again, you know?”

Oh man I know. I know more than anyone else how much I wanted her to be like she used to be, and now she was. There really must be a god, or someone up there listening. I silently thank the Big Man and turn back to her.

“Well I’m glad you did it.” I cradle her hand in mine

For a moment she looks unsure but then she rests her head on my shoulder and looks into the fire.  We sit there talking for awhile but its not long before she falls asleep in my arms.

I’m not backing down on my promise.

For once in my god damn pathetic life I’m going to get the girl, and I’m going to treat her the way she deserves to be treated.

Cross my heart and hope to die.

*****Hi! I hope you're enjoying the story so far! I noticed I've never done a view point from Keagen so I tried it out in this chapter! Also I noticed that there are way more than two sides to this story, so perhaps a name change is called for? Let me know who you want more view points from, who your fav guy is and who you want Meme to end up with!!!*****
