Four days later......
"Walking home alone again?" Asked John. I nodded and kept walking. "I'm still talkin' to you. Aren't I?" I ignored his annoyance and kept my pace. Follow me.........No, no, no, no stop being so needy. He'll get the idea. Hopefully."Emily!" He called angrily. I turned and snapped. "What John! What could you possibly want now?" He seemed shocked and a little more angry. Don't yell at me for trying to be nice now." I felt the angry twitch in my eye come back. "What is it? Why are you being 'nice' all of a sudden." I said putting air quotes around nice. "Just wanna be something different." He smiled. I couldn't help but laugh at his 'nice' smile. He has such a cute smile.......What am I saying?! He's mean and rude. Stop thinking!"Okay?" I said unsure. "But really, what do you want?"
"Just wanna walk you home and maybe tell you something real important." He said seriously.
"Fine. Let's go. It's gonna rain soon." Thunder rang out and drops of water started falling. I rolled my eyes and felt my hair and clothes already getting soaked.
"Nice prediction weather girl." He chuckled. As we walked we talked about how he was in military school for those two middle school years. "That sounds rough." I said wiping the rain drops from my forehead. He took off his black leather jacket and set it over my shoulders making me jump. I slid my arms through the long sleeves and automatically felt warm and safe. With how long we talked and how much he made me laugh, it felt like it was only a few minutes to get to my house. "Well, we're here. I guess I better give you back you're jacket, right?" I said unsure. "Oh wait, what were you gonna tell me that was important?" He seemed hesitant and a little uncomfortable. "John?" I called him, noticing his uneasiness. "Look, Emily. You know Jeff likes you a lot right?" I nodded, afraid and unsure of where he was going with this. "Well, Sheena didn't want me to say nothin', but, I kinda saw them kiss." I felt my heart break and float away in the cold rain water. "What?" Was all I could manage. He nodded. I felt my warm tears spill over onto my cheeks. John stepped closer and I backed up into my front door. "Em? Just try to calm down okay?" He gently placed his hands on my shoulders. I felt like I was hyperventilating and about to blow up with emotions.
"John?" I whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Can you stay h-here with m-me?" I asked.
"Of course." He said bringing me in for a tight hug. He didn't dare let go until I felt the rain was too much.
"Let's go inside?" He suggested. I nodded and unlocked the door. I felt like I was going to faint and hopefully go into a coma. She kissed him? I knew I couldn't trust her. She's such a bitch. A slut. She always does this to me. Every time."You okay?" He asked softly, slmost like if he spoke louder I'd shatter into a million pieces. I nodded and cried more. He wrapped his strong arms around me from behind and held me while I let out my tears.
"Why does she hate me so much?" I weeped.
"Sheena doesn't hate you doll. She's just a little confused as to what a real relationship goes."
"She's done this so many times before and I thought she'd stop already." I breathed in and out slowly to try and calm my heart.
"Done what?" He asked.
"Stole every one of my boyfriends in the past. It's always the same excuse too. 'It's true love Emmy. You can't stop true love.' And they always break her heart and I'm the one that has to deal with her rage after." I explained. "It's not fair at all." He held me tighter and wiped my tears with his fingers.
"Don't cry anymore. I don't like it when you cry." He said soothingly. I froze and repeated those words in my head. He hated me. How could he not like it when I cry? Maybe he's just yankin' my chain. Or maybe he's not. I held him back and didn't want to let go.
"John?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you still hate me?" I was scared of his answer.
"No. I stopped hating you since the first day of school." He admitted. I felt my cheeks turn hot. I turned around in his arms and kissed his cheek. "Thank you." I said.
"I didn't want you to kiss me there." He smiled. I smirked and pushed him off me. "Well, tell me where."
"Right here." He said and crashed his lips on mine. I couldn't help but kiss back. His lips were so soft and smooth. "I've had a huge crush on you for a while. I just never knew how to tell you." I admitted. He laughed. "Well, now you have. And I won't let anyone else have you." Knock! Knock! Knock! Ughhh, who the fuck could that be?I opened the door and saw Sheena and Jeff in the rain. I slammed the door in their faces and took John's hand in mine and lead him upstairs. I slammed the door shut and we continued to kiss. He slipped his hands under my shirt and the warmth in his hands gave me chills. I pulled him impossibly closer and held onto his strong arms. "Emily?" Called Sheena from outside. We ignored her and kept going. Fuck her and him! I don't need anyone! John lowered me onto the bed and kissed my neck. "Tell me when to stop." He said. I nodded and gently brought him back up to my lips. "Don't stop." I whispered in between breaths. He smiled and removed my hair that was sticking to my forehead. "Emily!" She yelled louder. I opened my window and yelled "What could you possibly want from me now? Huh? Why don't you go fuck yourself. Oh wait, you have my boyfriend to do it for you." Their faces screamed embarassment. John pulled me in and kept kissing me. Damn he kisses real good.I could tell he wanted to do more. "Can we?" I asked. He nodded and asked cautiously "Are you still a.......vir-" "No John, not since the eight grade." He smiled like a pervert. "Damn you work fast." He commented. I smacked his head and said "Just fuck me already."
