By The Way I'm Not Sure (Jai Waetford Fan Fiction)

Chapter 12 - Promise? Promise.

Jai's POV

I stood there with Gemma in my arms. I miss hugging her. She smells like flowers and I miss that about her. She is just so beautiful and it hurts me to know I caused these tears.

"I'm so sorry." I whisper into her ear. I rest my chin on her head and we just stand there hugging for a while. I whisper it again and again. I am, I am very sorry. I don't even know how I made her this way, but it breaks my heart to know how much I hurt her. She seemed so small in the embrace and I wondered for a moment if she was shrinking, but that's impossible.

"I love you." I whisper. I didn't realise how long she'd stopped crying for until I said that. Her tears were now just black mascara stains on her cheeks.

"I'll be back." She says in her small voice and a few minutes later she comes back with her face clean of makeup. We lay down on the floor and she stared up at the ceiling, but I stared at her. I knew she could see me in her peripheral vision, but I don't care.

She's just perfect, her skin is a perfect colour and is smooth and soft. Her lips are perfectly shaped and her eyes are this amazing blue. Her hair draped over her shoulders and usually floated down her back. It was getting really long.

"I hate to see you so sad." I say, but she continues to stare at the roof above us. I grab her hand and try to intwine our fingers, but she pulls away.

"I want to forgive you and give you a second chance, but I don't know how to." She says and I look away from her and stare at the ceiling too. It was white and faded into a creamy colour in the corners and around the light in the centre of the flat surface.

"You have a weird ceiling." I say.

"I know." She replies. We go quite and lay there for what seems like hours. Sometimes I'd look over at her and occasionally see a tear run down her face. It made me sad.

"I just want things to be back to normal." I say.

"Maybe this is normal." She says, quietly.

"I don't want us to be like this." I admit and she ignores me. She told me a while back that if she ignored someone it means that she's thinking really hard.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask.

"You." She says and if things were normal, I'd blush, but she's probably thinking bad things about me, maybe about how much she hates me right now.

It was 12 pm before she says anything again.

"I forgive you... almost." She says and we look at each other in the eyes.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes." She says and I kiss her. It felt normal again, her kiss was better than it had been. She was still broken, but mended a little bit.

"Thank you." I whisper and we stand up, "but why?"

"I was thinking, just now, that if someone was to lay next to you for 8 hours and say nothing while you thought through your feelings and just be there with you while you were sad that maybe that person really does care about you and love you." She says and I pick her up in a hug. I was a little bit taller than her now which made it really easy to pick her up while hugging.

"I'll never hurt you again."

"Promise?" She asks.

"Promise." I say.

For the rest of the night she just lay on my lap and I stroked her hair while she traced shapes on my other hand, the way I hoped we'd spend time together for a long time. I could tell she was still thinking for a very long time, but not as much as before, not bad things anyway. By 3 am the tracing stops and she's fallen to sleep. I kiss her head and fall asleep myself. Everything was just perfect as before.
