My Heart Beats For You

Chapter 12 Tomorrow

August 2, 2012

Tomorrow. The day I see my true love for the first time in so long. I'm going to fall in love all over again when I see his handsome face, when our lips meet, when he holds me. He is the reason I still want to live. He's the reason I want to get up every morning, the reason I want to breathe. I need him to live. He's like my life source. I literally can't wait, I want to leave now. NOW. I've never had anything like this happen to me since....what happened. But that's not important. I'm not going to bring the last two years of my life into this. I just can't believe he never noticed...the cuts. Never mind that. Not important.

************************************

Jamie tried to not make me nervous by hanging out with me today. We went to the library. Thankfully, Zeke wasn't there. We went to the teens section and checked out some romance novels. That's all I read. Looking at them made me think of Zack more, so I went to mystery. I got a few and so did Jamie and we went to Miss Martha's. Best. Food. Ever. The steak is to die for, so that's what we got. I have so much fun with Jamie, she's the most amazing best friend anybody could ask for. After lunch, we walked around. And guess who came up to us? Zeke. Fucking Zeke.

"What the fuck do you want now?",Jamie said in a really disgusted tone.

"I just want to talk to Chloe. Alone."

"Fuck you. I'm not leaving her side, not with you around at least."

"Why do you got to be such a bitch Jamie?" She slapped him across the face. Hard.

"Guys stop!", I yelled. Zeke looked really pissed and a crowd started to form, lots of people were now videotaping. Great. Zeke grabbed my arm.

"I don't give a fuck if the see me do anything to you. Your mine. Nobody is going to stop me from getting you all for myself. I looked him straight in the eyes, with a really pissed look on my face.

"No matter how much you try, you will never hurt me. No matter what you do or say, nothing will change. I fucking hate you and I always will. So stay out of my life you dick!", I yelled. I punched him in the stomach and he fell to the ground.

"Don't fucking mess with me again, or I will do worse to you. Got it?" He nodded and moaned in pain. We walked away and people started cheering.

"Wow. Your a badass!"

"Ha ha. I wish. That took all the confidence I had in me to do something like that."

"Well it was awesome. I'm proud of you."

"Thanks Jamie."

"Hey no problem. So..."

"So?"

"Are you going to tell Zack?"

"Tell him what?"

"About...Your..."

"My scars?"

"Yeah."

"I don't know. What if he hates me after I tell him?"

"He won't. He loves you. He would never do something that low."

"I'm just not sire how he'd react. That's what makes me scared to tell him."

"You're going to have to some time Chloe."

"I know, I know. Just let me figure it out myself." Jamie put my hand in hers.

"I don't want you to get all stressed out about it. Your my best friend ever and I don't want you to be worried about this stuff." I squeezed her hand.

"I will be fine Jamie. Thank you for caring so much." We walked to Chestnut Park. The swings are my favorite thing to do at parks. So we went to them. We were swinging and joking around. The sun started to set and realized what tomorrow was again. I stopped myself from swinging.

"WE GOT TO GO!", I yelled.

"Why?"

"TOMORROW!"

"Oh yeah. OK I will head home. You better get some sleep, if any."

"I will. Thanks for hanging out with me today. I had fun. See you in a few days!" We hugged and I practically ran home. I got to the front door, when I hears rustling in the bushes. I looked over and a group of people all dressed in black came out of the darkness. I couldn't see their faces so I said,"Who the hell are you people?"

"Your worst nightmare.", one of them said. I ran up to my door and slammed it shut behind me, making sure to lock it. I ran to all the windows, and the back door to make sure they were all locked, when I remembered something, my parents are out on a date, and Brandon is at a friend's house, so I'm home alone. Shit. I have to call Jamie.

"Hello?" she sounded like I just woke her up.

"Jamie, there's a bunch of guys dressed in all black outside. They are trying to get in. HELP!!!"

"Oh shit! I'm on my way! With my gun!"

"Thanks!"

She hung up and I went into a closet, with one of our sharpest kitchen knives. I heard the front door open and close. I tensed up. Stop breathing so loud! I heard Jamie.

"Chloe? Are you here?" I came out of the closet and Jamie was standing there with her gun pointed. She set it down on the table and hugged me.

"Thank God your okay!"

" 'Thank God your okay!' ", somebody mocked. We looked to see Zeke holding the gun at me. Me.

"Zeke, don't do this.", Jamie tried to calm him down.

"Shut up you bitch!" She backed up a little.

"She's right Zeke, don't do this."

"I need you...", he started to cry

"Put the gun down and we will talk about it, okay?" I said. He put the gun on the table. I grabbed it and gave it to Jamie. He didn't seem to care. He sat down at the table. I sat across from him. He looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"I still love you, Chlo."

"Um..."

"I need you!"

"I'm sorry Zeke. We just aren't meant to be together. I used to love you, but now..."

"What? Is there somebody else?"

"That's non of your business!"

"I knew it. You think he's better than me don't you? You think he's perfect and I'm not!"

"I never said that." I took his hand.

"Listen to me, I'm not meant to be with you, somebody else is, and you will find her. She's just not me. Let's stay friends."

"OK." He stood up and we hugged, then he walked out the door. Jesus.

"That's enough excitement for one night. You should go to bed."

"OK. Thanks for being here for me, as always." She hugged me and left. I went to bed. I was so tired, I fell asleep really fast.
