Blue Eyes (Asa Butterfield)

Chapter 19

When Saturday finally rolls around Iris, Rider, Asa and I hurry to the tech division to meet up with a girl named Carly.

I go to a guy and ask if Carly is here. "Right over there!" He said pointing to a girl with blonde hair and green eyes.

We all walk over and I say, "Excuse me, but we're here for you to take a survey."

Carly looks pleased and says, "Alright."

Asa clears his throat and asks, "Do you know a person named Riley?"

Carly: Yes.

Iris: Are you considered nice or mean?

Carly: Nice I guess.

Rider: Do you think you're a bully?

Carly: No.

Me: LIAR! You bully Riley Jackson and I know because she's in my counseling group and says she's bullied by a girl named Carly. You're an ass.

We walk away doing the same thing to everyone's bullies that they told me about.

In the end I feel great and Asa asks if I'm free tonight and of course I said yes!

We go up on the roof to have a nice quiet picnic by ourselves.

Asa: This is the life.

Me: I don't want another life!

We kiss a couple times then shoulder to shoulder we lay down to look at the stars in the pretty, dark night in London. It's perfect because I have everything I need; amazing food, stars, a nice breeze, and Asa. It's just awesome! What other life would I want to have? If I could change one thing about my life it would be how far I am from my family. That's it because everything else is just the way I wanted a imperfect life to be like. It's just so....imperfect.

I turn my head to Asa and say, "It's almost summer in just five more weeks and you're going to meet my parents!" I was excited because my mom always wanted to meet Asa the way I described him made her ecstatic! Then my dad always wants to meet my boyfriends so he knows who beat up when they break my heart. Oh well, you can't choose your family. I still wouldn't change them for the world.

Asa gulps and says, "So am I, but you're going to meet my dad and Morgan before we leave right?"

"Of course!" I said excited for everything planned out. Then I think about Asa leaving for an entire year. "Asa," I started, "are you going to break up with me before you leave?" I was terrified for him to break up with me before he left, but long distance doesn't work out most of the time.

Asa looks beamed and says, "Jessica Arnold, I would never dump you because I'm leaving!" He makes circles on my hand and adds, "We're going to call, video chat, email, send mail and everything humanly possible to make this work. I promise." He kisses me and the weight of the world just floats away from my shoulders and I feel like I'm flying.

Oh Asa.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The last day of counseling all the kids hug me and think me. Their bullies stepped off for a while, but they knew I gave them a voice to stand up. That's all that mattered because I knew I couldn't stop their pain. It's impossible.

I go to the therapist and I passed so I wouldn't have to go anymore, but every once in while I would go to catch up on everyone. One of them committed suicide and I helped the family and told them about Adrian and that helped a lot. It felt good to help them and I'm never going to stop.

The next few weeks I go to the pool and then to the park to watch any games at the park life football, cricket, baseball, dodge ball anything to do with getting active I'm watching it!

I look at a football game and hear a person sit next to me.

"Hey," It was Henry.

I look up and greet him, "What's up?"

Henry: Nothing much. I let go.

Me: Congrats!

Henry: When did you let go?

Me: During winter break.

Henry: Cool. I'm thinking about moving back to Illinois.

Me: That's cool. If you go to Ridge High you're going to love my friend Aubrey!

Henry: I'm thinking about it.

Me: I'm going to miss you and Asa.

Henry: Right. Hey, life isn't perfect!

Me: I'm glad it isn't.

Henry: So do I, but why do you like it?

Me: I'm glad it isn't perfect because you would learn nothing about life and pain. It would all seem perfect and everything will fall into place and when something bad happens you won't be prepared for the worst. That's why.

Henry: Do you believe in a right answer?

Me: What are we playing? Twenty questions?

Henry: I'm serious!

Me: No. I don't because things happen for a reason and some reasons are better than others then you're limited to one answer, but they both have pros and cons. So I guess not.

Henry: Well I got to go and pack for the summer! See you soon.

Then Henry leaves to pack for the next week of school left. He's smart to start to pack, but I'm too lazy to do something so I just enhance the air and left the game go on.

It's almost summer so Asa and Jess are going to meet her parents soon and that means Asa is leaving sooner and sooner. Ugh, why does he have to go!? Even I have the feels!
