Why can't I be normal?

Chapter 6

Jacob's POV:

She didn't say anything but I knew she was happy because she was smiling.

God she's so cute. Wait, what? I like her but does she like me? Shit. What's wrong with me?

"Hello. Earth to Jacob", Rebecca said waving her hand in front of my face.

"What? Yea", I said snapping back to reality.

"I said thanks for helping me but you should probably head home", she said.

"And take that chance of those assholes coming back and hurting you again? No chance. I am staying here to protect you and that's final", I said taking my shoes off and getting comfortable.

"Thanks. I'm going to go get changed and I'll be right back", she said standing up carefully.

She came back 2 minutes later with pink tank top and black shorts on. Her cuts on her arms and legs were more noticeable. I feel so bad for her. This is all my fault and I want to make everything better.

"You want to watch a movie?", she asked smiling.

"Sure. You pick", I said smiling back.

"Ok. Want some popcorn?

"Sure"

I watched her make some popcorn and she was just humming some song I don't even know. She's still fucking cute and I can't help but want to kiss her. I'm going to try for it.

She came over and put a movie in, I couldn't see what it was so I guess it's a surprise. She put the popcorn right in between us. We started watching Harry Potter, I didn't know she was such a nerd but we watched the movie and eat popcorn in silence.

Out of no where we both went to get popcorn and our hands touched, we looked at each other and we started to lean in. Our lips were so close and we almost kissed when she pulled back.

"What's wrong?", I asked backing away.

"I just can't", she said.

"What do you mean you can't?, I said starting to get angry.

"I just can't. I don't know how to explain it", she said.

"Well try!"

"It's hard! I can't!"

"Fucking try! I've saved your damn life so many times and now you can't kiss me?!

"It's not that I won't kiss you, I just can't"

"Dammit! That's what I get for saving your fucking life! You know what I'm done!

I didn't even put my shoes on, I got up grabbed everything and slammed the door shut behind me. When I was walking to my car I could hear her starting to cry but I didn't care. I got into my car and drove to my house.

Rebecca's POV:

How could he do that?! How could he not just understand that I don't believe in love so I can't kiss him. I just can't take this anymore!

After hours of crying, I went upstairs to my room, not bothering to clean up and went to bed.

The next day

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. Felt stiff and sad. I didn't even want to get out of bed but I have to get ready for school.

I got up put on some leggings with a big navy blue off one shoulder sweater and my black high top converse. I went to my bathroom, put my hair in a messy bun and some natural makeup.

When I got downstairs my mom was standing in the living room with her hands on her hips, pissed off.

"What the hell is this mess?", she said angrily.

"It's nothing", I said grabbing my bag not even looking at her.

"Rebecca May, you better turn around and clean this mess up"

"I'll clean it when I get home.

I didn't even give her a chance to speak, I walked out and waited for Claire.

Jacob's POV:

I woke up feeling upset. Shit, what did I do to Rebecca last night? I got up and got dressed. I put on a white t-shirt with black ripped jeans, blue jean jacket, black hightops and a black beanie. Didn't even grab my car keys, grabbed my skateboard and rode as fast as I could to school to see Rebecca.

When I got to school I grabbed my skateboard and ran inside, all around the school looking for her. I finally found her at her locker putting away books. I walked up to her, she didn't see me until she shut her locker, she walked away in the opposite direction. I had to run to get caught up to her. I grabbed her arm ( not hard) and made her look at me.

"Jacob, let me go", she said annoyed.

"No, we've got to talk", I said worried.

"After what happened last night. No! I don't want to talk to you"

"Please, I feel like shit for what I did to you. I should have understood that you couldn't and you probably weren't ready. Look, I'm really sorry and I want to make it up to you"

"How?"

"You'll see"

The bell rung and I backed away slowly smiling at her. I could tell she was still pissed but she smiled a little bit and walked away.

4 hours later

It's lunch time and I looked around for Rebecca. I saw her with her friend Claire, I think that's her name and went to sit by Rebecca.

"Hey", I said sitting next to Rebecca.

"I've got to go. I'll see you later", her fiend said getting up and walking away.

"She doesn't like me", I said.

"Well, can you blame her? You've been a jerk lately and she's very protective of me. We've been best friends for a little long time", Rebecca said eating her lunch.

"I get that and I already said I was sorry. I'm going to make it up to you"

"And you still never told me how"

"Yes I did. I said you'll see"

"But that doesn't give me anything"

"I know"

She punched my arm laughing

At the moment I know that we were friends again.
