Love out of this World **(ON HOLD)**

Chapter 5

I almost cried writing this! Sorry its really short! <3

I pulled into his driveway. Oh man, I was so nervous. I don't know how to tell him. I walked to his door. I took a deep breath and rang his doorbell. A couple seconds later John answered the door. He smiled when he saw me. “Hey, I'm glad to see you.” He said. I tried my best to smile, and I think he bought it. He leaned in and kissed me. I pulled away and turned my head slightly away. “What’s wrong?” John asked. I took another deep breath, the moment I was dreading. “I’m an alien.” I blurted out. Shit! That was NOT what I meant to say! “You mean like an illegal alien?” he asked, confused. I sighed. This was not what I meant to happen. “No,” I started. “I’m an actual alien, from outer space. I came here on a spaceship. I'm on a mission. To observe Earth beings.” I continued to tell him my whole story. He looked so shocked and confused. I felt so bad for him. “I don't believe you.” He said. “You’re just some weird freak. Never come here again.” He said. He turned and started walking into his house. “No! Wait!” I cried. “I can prove it!” he stopped and turned around. “How?” I took off my wig and turned around and showed him my third eye. It was half closed and it was hard to see out of, but I could still see the look on John’s face. His eyes bulged out of his head, and he let out a loud gasp. I turned around and took my shoe off and showed him my heel-toe, which is now just a little nub. “Do you believe me now?” I asked. I put my wig and my shoe back on. He nodded his head, unable to say anything. “You have to promise me you won’t tell ANYONE. Okay?” He didn’t do anything, he just stood there staring. “Well, do you promise?” I asked. “I promise.” He whispered. “Good” I said. He just kept standing there staring at me. I didn’t know what to do. I just stood there and stared back. I was feeling really awkward. I looked down at the ground. I heard John walking up to me. What was he going to do? He stopped in front of me, lifted my chin up with his hand. He looked deeply into my eyes, as I did his. He leaned in and gave me the best kiss I've ever had. He pressed me up against the doorframe and we kept kissing for a long time. Finally I pulled away, out of breath. John looked into my eyes and said, “I love you.” I gasped. After all of what I told him about being a failure on my home planet and wanting to prove myself and not wanting to get stuck on earth, he goes and says this? Before I could even think about what I was saying, this came out of my mouth, “I love you too.” John smiled. Shit, again with this? I did not mean to say that either. I do love him, but I have to complete my mission and go home. I looked down and said, “But I can’t stay on earth. I need to go home to my family and friends. I would love to stay here, but it’s expected of me to complete my mission and come home. I'm sorry. I should go.” I turned for the door but John grabbed my arm. I looked into his eyes and saw tears forming there. Seeing him cry made me want to start crying. But I wasn’t going to let that happen. “You can’t leave me, Zandriana.” He whispered. It hurt me so much seeing him like this. I felt my eye start to close up even more. It was so painful, but I ignored the pain. “I'm sorry. I have to leave.” I whispered back. “I'm never going to give you up, Zandriana.” I didn’t know what to say. I just looked up at him. I saw the pleading in his eyes. He really didn’t want me to go. I sighed. “Good-bye, John.” I said. I leaned in and gave him a peck on the lips. I saw the tears falling from his eyes as I pulled away. Trying my hardest not to cry, I walked to my truck. I got in and drove away. As I drove away from Johns house, my eyes started watering so bad I couldn’t see anything. I had to pull over. I put my head on my steering wheel and started crying the hardest I've ever cried. I felt a sharp pain on the back of my head. Shit, my eye. It was disappearing. I stopped crying and started thinking about my home planet, trying to stop the eye from going. The pain slowed down. I pulled back on to the road and drove to my hotel. I packed all of my things into my suitcase. I grabbed my cell phone and called my home planet. I told them to send I down the spacecraft. I had finished my mission. I hung up and drove to the same cornfield my spacecraft had first landed in. All of the things I had gone through in the past little while I was on earth were the best things that had ever happened to me. I felt so sad that I couldn’t say good-bye to Jenna. I knew I wouldn’t be able to handle it. Jenna had become my best friend. I thought of all the silly memories I had of stuff we did. I laughed at my memories. I was pulled out of my thoughts as I reached the cornfield. I barely saw the spacecraft hidden in the long stalks of corn. I parked the truck and grabbed my stuff out of the back. I headed towards the spacecraft, dreading leaving. As I approached the spacecraft, the door opened for my. I climbed inside and took my seat. Ten seconds to take off, the spacecraft announced. Ten, nine, eight. I took a deep breath and prepared for the takeoff. I started thinking about Johns beautiful green eyes, his great smile, and his amazing laugh. Seven, six, five, four. I thought of the day I met him and Jenna at the club, and of when we went out to dinner afterwards. Three, two, one. “I love you, John.” I whispered. The spacecraft took off. I'm going home.
