Unexpected Love (A Johnny Cade/Maximum Ride Love Story)

New Lives Start with the Truth

JENNA’S POV:

                I fluttered open my eyes and quickly shut them again. ‘Ughh, it’s too bright in here.’ I thought. I tried again and this time I forced my eyes to stay open. I took in my surroundings. I was in a hospital bed with IV’s in my veins. “What happened?” I thought. I heard a small voice next to me, and I spun around. I guess I didn’t think that.

“My dad hit you with a glass bottle; you lost a lot of blood.” It was Johnny.

“Oh, right.” I said, remembering the events from last night.

“How are you?”

“I’m okay, I would be better if I wasn’t here. It’s freezing.” I said as I rubbed my bare arms.

“Oh, umm… do you want me to keep you warm?” Oh. My. God. Did he just ask that? Of course I do! I nodded my head yes, and he climbed into bed next to me. And wrapped his arms around my waist. I turned around to face him. He hugged me, and I snuggled into his chest. God, I love him. If only he loved me back. I wish he did. Maybe one day I’ll tell him how I feel, one day… No! I have to now. I mean I know it could ruin our friendship, but if I lost a lot of blood like he said. Then, I might not make it. Cause’ no one has my blood type, due to circumstances. Well, here goes nothing…

JOHNNY’S POV:

                God, I love Jenna! And when she snuggled into my chest. Ughh! Don’t even get me started on how excited I was. I have to tell her how I feel. Here goes nothing…

“Jenna?” I asked at the same time she said “Johnny?”

“Oh, umm go ahead.” She told me.

“Okay.” I took a breath. “Jenna, I l-like you a lot, I mean, m-more than like. I l-love y-you. I love seeing your smile. It can light up an entire room. I love hearing your laugh and your voice. And I hate it when you get hurt. And I-I understand if you don’t feel the same way. I j-just needed to tell you cause’ I’ve been feeling this way for a long t-time an-“ I was cut off by Jenna reaching up and then feeling her soft lips against mine. It was a slow, but, very meaningful. I smiled into the kiss. That kiss said everything she was feeling. It lasted for about 12 seconds. And when we pulled away, we pulled away slowly. I looked into her crystal blue eyes and she smiled up at me.

“You talk too much.” She giggled. I laughed too.

“Does this mean we’re together?” I asked

“I don’t know. I was never asked.” She said sarcastically with a smile, I smiled too.

“Okay, Jenna will you be mine?” I asked

“Yes.” She said and kissed me again. I was literally the happiest guy in the world. Little that I know my life would get a lot more complicated.

THE NEXT DAY (STILL JOHNNY’S POV)

                I was in the chair next to Jenna’s bed when the nurse came in.
