Teen's Undercover

Chapter 8

God hate snow.

I push the buttons that I think are correct in our pin-pad, my fingers feeling like they might fall off at any minute.

The gate opens and I slip inside, opening the front door, and going inside, completely and most defiantly frozen from top to bottom.

"Hope!" My mom nearly screams, running to me, "You should've called me. You should not have walked in this weather." She says, helping me peel the frozen layers of clothes off of me, sitting me next to the fireplace with blankets wrapped around me.

"Mom, my phone was dead, I couldn't have." I say, my teeth chattering to no end.

My mom wraps more and more blankets around me, making me about as big around as a snowman, at least it feels like it.

Jay walks downstairs, "Is Hope... What happened to you?!" He asks, running to me and sitting down next to me, pulling me close.

"The cold never bothered me anyway?..." I say, "I walked home because my phone was dead." I say, resting my head on his shoulder, "We need to tell them..." I whisper, referring to what happened today at school.

"How about when you're not freezing too death." He says, kissing the side of my head, holding me close and trying to get me warm.

My mom makes me some soup, handing it to Jay to feed it to me since my arms are wrapped up in the blankets. Jay slowly feed it to me, his actions kind and loving.

How have I never seen it before? Jay was never joking around when he said we should date. I've been a horrible bitch to him and he's just been there for me. Through everything, and now, I'm just barely seeing how badly I need him. I need him and if I loose him, I'll die.

"Jay, I love you and I am so sorry." I whisper, looking up at him, tears running down my cheeks, "I've been horrible to you and you still love me and are here for me? Why? I don't deserve you, but I have you." I say, trying to stop my tears.

"Because I need you." He says so simply put I get thrown back a little bit, expecting some big, long answer.

He is so right, when you need someone, you can wait if they are a person worth waiting for.

"I want to scream to the world that you are mine, but for right now, how about we let our parents." I say, standing up, the cold melted away and rolled off of me.

I help Jay up and wrap my arm with his, walking to the kitchen and stopping at the island, looking at our mom, "We don't know quite how to tell you but..." Jay says, looking at me and then at her.

"I think the best way to put it is, we found the one we don't and can't go without. Like you and dad, I found the person that makes me overflow with happiness and can fix anything, makes me feel like a queen and is the one I love, he just happens to be my partner and best friend." I say, standing on my tip toes to kiss Jay, wrapping my arms around him and coming down from my top toes, hugging him with everything I could be made of.

"I know." She says, looking at us, "I've known probably longer then you have. That's why I put you two as partners, because you will fiercely protect one another and make sure that you are okay. You would give anything to save each other and that is why you two work so perfectly together." She says, smiling, "Now don't let your dad see you doing that." She says with a giggle, throwing a dish towel at us, "Now help me with dinner." She says, getting out ingredients, putting them on the counter.

I walk to the sink and turn on the warm water, washing my hands next to Jay, constantly kissing his cheek and giggle, turning beet red and looking down, smiling like I have never smiled before. My cheeks hurt as we get stared with dinner.
