"Oh, This is Awkward" / 15

CHAPTER XV - "OH, THIS IS AWKWARD"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We had been seated in silence for the past twenty minutes. I look over at Marissa who seems to still be fondling Jess. I lean my head back on the newly bought leather couch and shut my eyes. I really need some time to think.

"Soo....Jessy Baby, who is the new chick?" Marissa asks so bluntly, disrupting my silence.

"Well I'm his..." I begin.

"She's my cousin. Long lost actually. My dad introduced me a few days ago and now we are like best friends. Aren't we Angelìa?" Jess shoots me a look as if he wanted me to play along with his obviously made up dumb story.

Lucky enough for him, I'm smart enough to realize what he's doing and continue it.

"Yes actually we have been VERY close for awhile now. We are practically brother and sister." I scoot up in my chair and watch Jess closely.

This hoarse chair is giving me a rash.

Marissa watches me shift in all directions uncomfortably until she loses interest and brings her mind back to "Jessy Bear."

"What does she mean VERY CLOSE Jess?" She asks wrapping her legs tighter around his waist.

Jess scratches his head looking for a response, "Uhmm....what she means is...you're hurting me Marissa."

This doesn't do anything but gets Marissa angrier than before.

Marissa jumps out of the chair with her face redder than a cherry tomato.

"WELL FOR FUCKS SAKE DID YOU GUYS HAVE INCEST SEX OR SOMETHING?!"

"No no, Marissa, baby it isn't like that." Jess attempts to pull her into a hug, but Marissa slaps him with an incredibly small but strong hand.

Oh no you didn't just swing at my cousin you psycotic bitch.

The rage overwhelms me and I launch at her. Marissa quickly senses my attack and turns around. She blocks my punch pretty quickly, but forgets that I have legs. I kick her in the vagina and give her a good head-butt to the ground.

Before I can hop on her and turn her inside out, hands grab me from the sides. I try and release the fingers but it's no use. Jess is too strong.

Instead of fighting back like an immature twat, I twist myself around to be facing Jess. His face was dangerously close to mine so I shake off the beautiful eyes glaring into my soul and snap myself back into reality.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Jess yells in my face as he shakes my body back and forth with my shoulders blades.

"First of all, get your fucking hands off me. Second, I was trying to save your ungrateful ass from getting a total KO by some dumb blonde." I say quite loudly as I shove his hands off my body.

"I could've save myself you idiot!"

Oh he did not just call me an idiot for risking my life against that clingy piece of trash.

"How am I the idiot when you're the one getting hunched over and spanked by this control freak of a girlfriend?!" I've lost all control and the rage explodes out with me yelling my head off.

"Well maybe if you actually took the time to notice shit around you, you would know I'm only her boyfriend because of resources!"

I gasp. No wait. Someone else gasped too. And it sounded like -

"Jessy boo, is it true? Are you only my teddy bear because I supply you with stuff? You're just using me?" Marissa tears up, then starts bawling into her hands until I work up the courage to go help out the over emotional girl.

"Marissa, please don't get mad at Jess. He didn't mean it." I walk towards her slowly, with my arms out in case she tries anything.

She sniffles and says something but I can't quite make it out.

"What?"

Marissa clears her throat.

"I ched lev may oloon."

"Marissa I can't understand what you are -."

"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!!" She drops to her knees and clenches her legs to her chest. She then starts rocking back and forth with a crazy look in her eye.

"How could I have been so wrong? I thought he was the one. I thought he was meant to be with me. I thought we were destined." Marissa stares blankly at the ground mumbling nonsense while Jess and I watch her, confused.

I turn to Jess and ask him to talk with me in the corner.

"What did you do to that poor girl?"

"Me? I didn't do anything. She's crazy! She believes anything she sees; once she's believed it, she goes insane!"

I give Jess this glare that I have never given to anyone before this. This wasn't a 'how could you' glare. This was a 'i'm going to kill you' glare with a crinkled lip to top it off.

"What do you mean, she believes anything? What the hell happened between you guys?"

He sighs.

"Well, Marissa and I are old friends. When we were young, we were the bestest of friends. We always hung out, had play dates, and all sorts of kid stuff. One day, out family went camping I'm the woods near her family's log cabin. We would often sneak out of the house during nighttime and just watch the stars. I was 13, she was 12. On the last night, she confessed her love for me. And how no one else understood her, but me. This wasn't any crush or simply 'just a phase.' We both knew in our hearts there was something we both shared. And then we kissed." Jess stops and stares down at his hands. He has been trembling ever since he started telling the story. He brings his fingers up to his lips to signify the importance of that faithful day's kiss.

"Then we moved on." Jess looks back up with a serious look. "Our relationship lasted 2 years. We fought too often because I'd never let her come to my house. Ever. I was scared that if she saw the way my dad was, she'd think I would grow up the way he did. The things he's done. The people he has hurt."

Jess clenches his fists together, "I would never walk in the shoes of a monster!" Suddenly, he turns and punches a hole straight into the wall.

"Jess." We both turn to find Marissa standing with a sad look in her eyes. She's been crying. Not because of what Jess had said earlier. But because of everything he's ever held back, he's just said a few seconds before.

Marissa opens her arms smiling but still holding back a few heavy tears.

"Come."

I didn't expect Jess to actually go to her. But to my surprise, he ran to her.

This was like watching a scene from The Notebook.

They held one another in their arms with such love, comfort, reassurance.

I stood awkwardly watching as the two former lovers cry tears of joy. Everything they've built up. Everything they've worked for. It was finally their moment of true love. Not the cheesy movie kind. This is actual true love.

But out of the corner of my eye, I see Marissa bring out something behind Jess' back.

It took me a few seconds to realize what she was holding, but once I figured it out, I screamed.

"JESS! SHE HAS A KNIFE!"

"This is for bringing another girl in on our love!"

The knife violently pierced his back before I could stop her.
