Welcome to Burgess High! [Jelsa]

Chapter 9

I quickly got to my feet and backed away slowly, for Lizzie was giving me a look that would kill me in an instant.

"N-now, Lizzie. Lets b-be reasonable about t-this." I stuttered, Lizzie edging closer and closer to me, tears slowly building up in her eyes. "I-It's not what it l-looks like! Why are y-you even here?" She was fuming.

"Oh, really? It's' not what it looks like'?" She made finger air quotes. "Because it looks like you molested my boyfriend!" She pointed at Jack who was still on the ground. He had a shocked look on his face, but I couldn't tell if it was a good or bad shock. "And I'm here because I heard someone scream my name. Now I know it was Jack screaming for help!" Jack suddenly got up and stood in between me and Lizzie.

"That's not true! I tripped!" I pleaded, hoping she would believe me, I don't think she did.

"Then why was he screaming my name, huh?" She asked. Now I was fuming.

"Because he was telling you he-"

"Missed you and wanted you to come to the park!" Jack cut me off, flashing Lizzie a smile. That little wimp.

"We were having such a great time and I didn't want you to miss out!" He added to the lie. He turned to me with a pleading smile. "Right, Elsa?" I looked down at the ground.

"Right." I said in a small voice. Lizzie still looked mad.

"What about the kiss?" She demanded, again Jack stepped in.

"Elsa tripped and fell on top of me, and when she tried to get up she tripped again and we accidentaly kissed. It ment nothing." He put a reassuring arm on her shoulder, she smiled at him. Meanwhile my heart was slowly dying, his words ringing in my ears.

'It ment nothing.'

I looked up and saw Jack and Lizzie kissing, a lot. I didn't know what to do, so I ran. Stumbling, I finnaly made it to my house. I dropped to my knees. Physically, I was perfectly fine. But emotionally, I was a shriveled up piece of garbage. I was angry. At Jack for wimping out on dumping Lizzie. I mean, was he that desperate for a girlfriend? At Lizzie for not treating Jack right. And at Jack again for what he said about the kiss.

But I shouldn't be mad at Jack for the last one. Just because I felt something doesn't mean he should. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt tears dripping down my face. I put my head in my hands and cried. I ended up crying myself to sleep on the porch.

I woke up when I felt myself moving. I was in someones arms. I looked up and saw Bunny smiling down at me. He was taking me up the stairs to my house.

"Bunny?" My voice came out horse. "What are you doing here?"

"I came over to hang out and saw you asleep on your porch. So, being the loving boyfriend I am, decided to take you to your bed." He smiled proudly and I giggled, resting my head on his chest. He brought me to my bed and gently laid me on top of the covers, just how I like it. He was about to get up and leave but I grabbed his arm.

"Stay?" He smiled and laid down next to me. He wrapped an arm around me and I snuggled up against his chest, taking in his sweet scent. He looked down at me and frowned.

"You look like you've been crying. Want to talk about it?" He asked gently. I shook my head and kissed his cheek.

"Later, it's too soon." He nodded his head and kissed the top of my head. The last thing I remember was Bunny wrapping his other arm around me before I drifted off to sleep.

^^

I woke up to the sound of shushing. I thought 'I must be dreaming.' And tried going back to sleep, but it came again, followed by giggling. I slowly opened my eyes and saw my parents and Anna in the doorway, my mom holding a camera. My eyes widened in shock and I attempted to scramble out of bed but was held back by something. I looked over and realized tha something was Bunnys arms. I blushed and gently shook him awake. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled up at me. He sat up and noticed my family. His face turned a deep shade of red as he jumped off the bed. My dad gave him a stern look.
