Scars

Chapter 6

~Jackie~

I walked down the narrow path until I got to the beach. The moonlight hit the palm trees perfectly. I decided to take a break and embrace this beautiful moonlight. I went close to the shore and laid down. My feet shivered as the waves brushed against my feet. I closed my eyes and suddenly images of Rosh kept fading and appearing in my mind. A couple of minutes later a voice cracked my thoughts. I sat up and acted natural. I looked to my left and saw Nate. The exact person I needed to talk to.

"I need to talk to you." I replied.

"If it is about this kiss thing, I am over it."

"Why are you out here?" I asked concerned.

"I just needed to take a breather that’s all, why? Are you worried about me?" His baby face made me crack up.

As soon as I got my giggles under control I replied, “No, it's just that you didn't come home when I got there."

He came over to me and sat down beside me. I laid down again and he followed as he asked, "What are you doing out here?"

"Well, I came looking for you but I got distracted by this beautiful moonlight." I said, looking towards the moon.

"It’s beautiful." He exclaimed, "Just like another person I know." He added without taking a glance at me.

My cheeks grew red as I took a few glances at Nate."Well, I hope you give her that message." I sit up.

"I think she already got it." He follows and smiles.

My cheeks were as red as a ripe tomato. Ugh! I hated blushing, but I couldn't help it. My smile grew across my face and e got up."We should go." He suggested as he stuck out his hand to me. I took it and we walked home. It was temping to hold his hand but I managed not to.

We walked in and I walked to the kitchen."What are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm hungry." I replied as I searched for an apple in the fridge." I could share an apple with you if you’re hungry."

I didn't hear him respond, so I grabbed the apple, closed the door, and turned around. In that instance Nate's lips lock with mine. I didn't kiss back because I was too shocked that he would do this. Did he not learn his lesson from the last kiss he tried to give me? But, it did feel good, without thinking I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. Soon his tongue entered my mouth. My legs wrapped around his waist as he grabbed hold of my thighs.

~Amelia~

My stomach was growling like hell, so I finally decided to get up and walk to the kitchen. I couldn’t believe what I saw."Break it up before it gets too serious."

Jackie immediately pulled away."You two are disgusting." I pushed past them and grabbed an orange out of the fridge. “I thought you didn't want to kiss him earlier." I waited for an answer but I didn't get one."Ugh!" I walked back to my room."

"What happened?" Russ asked as he walked out of his room, but I ignored him.

~Nate~

Jackie left and Russ came in. "Your horny aren't you."You’re finally a man." Russ assumed. I walked past him and went to my room.

~Jackie~

I woke up on the couch. How the hell did I get on the couch? I thought I went to my room. I shrugged it off and walked over to the fridge. And open it up, I pick up the last apple and ate it. Its flavor burst in my mouth. But something was awfully strange about this apple. I don't know what it was so I spit it out. And it appeared to be a note from Nate. He wants me to go to the park at 12:00pm. The thought of Nate made me smile wide and clear. I think I love him. No....I don't love him. It's more than that. There is no word to describe how I feel about Nate. Isn't it a little too early for me to start loving him? I mean I've only known him for about three days. This is all going too fast, but then it's going the perfect amount of speed. I slipped the note inside my pocket and finished off the rest of my apple. This is going to be great. I went to my room and rummaged around in the drawer. I finally found the perfect outfit. It's not too fancy, but not too casual either. I decided to for once do something with my hair. I snuck to Amelia’s side of the room and grabbed the curler from her dresser and went back to my side. I fixed up my hair nice and pretty. For the final result I didn't look all that bad. I had on a white shirt, blue jeans, and leather, brown boots. I grabbed my sweater and headed out of the door. Surprisingly it was pretty warm out here. No wonder he picked this day to go out. I headed to the park overexcited, but I didn't care. When I got there, there was a beautiful picnic laid out for me. Well, at least I thought it was beautiful. Other girls who have been on thousands of dates would think that this is totally lame. Wait, did I just call this a date.
