Chapter 9

Jasmine P.O.V

"Zach, I will." Everybody clapped and whistled, as Zach picked me up and spun me. A wave a sensation crashed through me. My heart skipped a beat. The beat it makes when you love someone.

Lunch was over, soon. I didn't finish my food, but Zach gave me some of his. How sweet was he! When we walked out the cafeteria, Zach never let go of my hand, as he walked me to my locker. "I'll see you later, gorgeous." He kissed my forehead, and he went to his locker, and I felt the color rise in my cheeks. 

As I walked in class, lots of people were smiling, while others glared. But I didn't care. I found an empty seat next to Daniel, which I gratefully took. "Hey, Danny boy." I said, and he smiled. But he quickly looked back down, and I knew something was up. I passed a note to him, while the teacher wasn't in the classroom yet. 

What's wrong, Danny? Are you okay?  He sighed softly, and wrote back.

I'm worried for you. Do you trust him?  I looked at Daniel, and sighed. 

I'm learning too, Daniel. But I really do think he has changed. 

He nodded, and busied himself with his work. I did, as well...

The rest of the day went by pretty fast, and I was kinda happy to get home. I rode my skateboard home, and went upstairs. Before I could settle though, my Mom messaged me.

Jasmine hun, I'm sorry to tell you, I officially had to move to Michigan. If I didn't, I would have lost my job. It's best if you stay in California, because my apartment is only one bedroom, and there is no room for you. I hope you will try to visit me once your high school year is over. Please do not hate me, sweetheart. I'm gonna miss you so much. I love you, baby...❤️😩

I felt like somebody just dug a deep hole of despair in my brain. She left me. Alone. Did she leave me for another reason? Who would fill the house now? How was I supposed to live by myself? For the second time today, I let the tears spill. I practically tripped on the stairs, as I ran up to my bedroom. I hugged my pillow close to my chest, hearing only the sounds of my sadness.

Then, suddenly, I felt a pair of arms around me. Zach. I buried my head in his chest, smelling his scent of cologne. He stroked my hair, and planted kisses on my head. After a few moments, I stopped, my chest still sputtering. He lifted my chin up, and wiped the stray tears. 

"Baby, what happened?" He asked, still stroking my hair. "M-My Mom left m-me, she moved to M-M-Michigan, and now I'm...I'm...a-alone." He looked at me with eyes filled with hurt. "You are not alone. Because you have me. I love you, Jasmine, and I promise I will always be there for you. You are my shining star." He kissed me, and I kissed back. We made out for a while, then I felt myself becoming tired and weary after crying.

I put my head in his chest, and he stroked my head. I looked up at him, smiling. "I love you, Zach." He kissed my again. "I love you too. No matter what."
