One Game

6. Major Mood Killer

She held my hand for a couple seconds and it felt like I've been electrocuted in my hand and fingers. But it's wasn't like a hurt feeling. It was like a tingly feeling. Before I knew it she let go. She walks to the truck and looked at me for a smile. I gave her one in which it caused her to smile bigger. Her curls swinging when she walked. The black clothes hugging her figure. Gosh could she get any more perfect?

Having my friends ride on the way to my date? This was going to be one hell of a ride.

After she gets in, she unlocks the doors for the rest of us. Getting in and buckling up was the least of my worries. Hope she's a decent driver. Because dying on the the way to our first date would be a major mood killer.

Everyone is still in awe about how Jo was able to get this truck. One of the boys asked how she did and she told us her mom gave it to her for a birthday present. The way she said it made me wonder if her mom was still in her life? But that's a conversation for the date. Ash and Matt are having their own conversation while Gilinsky is having one with Joanna. They've been non-stop talking since we've got in the vehicle. Maybe he has a thing for her?Maybe she has a thing for him? But I doubt it. Why would she let me win then?.

I look over at her and I'm in shock. She looks like she belongs behind the steering wheel of this truck. Her beautiful smile just adding to the beautifulness. I don't even think that's a word. Oh well!! She deserves to have a word made up for her beauty. Oh and her laugh! When she laughs it's like I've zoned out for a while. It takes me to another world. I've only met this girl not even a total of three hours yet and she's got me going insane in the head.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I hear the words 'We're here'. Oh thank gosh!!!! I don't think I could've handled it any longer. Even though I was not mentally there the whole time,but still. When the boys got out of the truck she got out too. Humm. She surprised me when she hugged each of the boys and gave them a kiss on the cheek. To be honest, jealously was brewing in a deep pit of my stomach. Like I'm the one you're going on a date with!! Not them. But what surprised me even more was when she hugged Jack and his hands kept going further down her back. Okay, you're pushing your luck Jackie. My hand found its way down to the handle. Just when I was about to push it open she pulled away. The look on her face was disgust. Jack's face immediately turns into a frown when he realizes what he had done. Before she could say anything he pulled her back in for another hug. What the actual fuck GILINSKY! You trying to steal my girl?!?!? Wait..... She's not my girl. But I want her to be my girl. The question is does SHE want to be my girl?

I look aways from the catastrophe going on outside the truck. Seconds later a not so happy looking Joanna sat in the truck. I wonder if it's from the Jack thing.

"Hey you alright?" I ask
"Yeah sure I'm fine." she nods. Liar..
She looks at me and ask "do you really want to know?"
"Yes"
"He said I shouldn't get involved With you. That he could treat me better. How could he know that? He doesn't know me. AND I DONT KNOW YOU. . Sorry, I just, I don't know."

"Jo..." was all that I could say.
"Yep that's what I thought. Go ahead you can leave now." Those were the last words that came out her mouth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Joanna's POV~
I knew it. I knew what he was going to say. They all say the same thing. Every. Single. Time. The long drawn out sigh of my nickname. 'Jooo' That's part of the reason why I hate that name so much.

You're probably wondering what?? What happened? What do they all do.

I'm just your usual girl. Goes to school. Does chores. Homework. Everything a normal American teenager does. Yeah I go to parties, the mall, movies and etc. So yeah you would think I would have my nights where I get drunk, sleep with guys and pass out. Well you thought wrong. Expect for the part where I sleep with guys.

No I'm not a slut. And no I don't have an STD.

By now you're thinking 'Wow she really does all that. I want to know how many guys she has slept with' To answer your question........ It's only two!!! Hahahaha ya'll thought I was a whore. But I'm not!! Yay isn't that exciting. The two guys I slept with were total tools. Used me. Left me. Most importantly, lied to me.

" I love you." "I would never do that." "You can trust me." And the biggest one of them all "I would NEVER leave you."

It's all quite frustrating. When you put your heart and soul in the relationship and get nothing in return. Ahhhhhhh.

And now another boy is doing the same thing. Good thing I didn't sleep with him. That would've been awkward.

That's wouldn't of happened anyways because I swore to myself that I would never sleep with anyone until marriage. Or if I know he's the right one. So yeah basically until marriage.

•Cameron's POV•
I can tell she's been hurt before. I don't want to hurt her. The look in her eyes were pain.

I don't want to sound selfish but I heard that she liked me. So I'm going to do everything in my power to help her.

Hold on. What the hell. I don't even know this chick.? But I feel like I've spent time with her before. Like I've heard her story before.

Let's just hope I can help her within a week.

"Listen to me Joanna, I know I don't know you. I don't know your story. But I would like to hear it. Over and over again if you don't mind. I find you fascinating. You're like a beautiful bloomed flower. Hidden for so long and now you're out for the world to see."

She started to say something but I cut her off.

"No!" A worried look appeared on her face when I raised my voice. "Sorry. I didn't mean to. Just please listen. I know you've been hurt in the past. But that's the past. This is the now. Live in it. And what makes you think that I would leave you? I have a date to go on with you. I'm still going. Just to let you know I've already planned many more with you. With us. So please don't shut me out."

Now she was the one speechless.

I could tell tears were forming in her eyes. I hoped she'd let them fall. There's only so much a person can hold in. But she quickly recovers from the little water show and starts to speak, "Okay.". Was all she said. Okay. Okay? Okay what? Nevermind, it doesn't matter. All that's matters is that she trust me and that she's going on this date.

"Okay you're okay with what I just said or Okay you'll still go on this date with me?"

That made her smile. There's that million dollar smile I've been waiting for. She's slowly healing in front of my eyes. But let's just hope I can fix her before I fall into pieces.
