A girl has given up on dating, until one guy changes her mind... |
Chapter Twelve: If the creek don't rise Maria runs back into the house, before Jackie can say a word...As she shuts the door all she sees is a stunned, smiling, Jackie... She leans against the door... And panics. Amy is sitting on the couch covering her mouth, eyes bigger than Earth- "Girl, WHAT did you DO?!" Amy squeals- "You...Y-You didnt!" Maria covers her mouth also- "Amy...I did"... "NO!" Amy screams- "Oh, my...What are you going to do?! You can't tell a guy that this soon!" "Amy, don't you think I know th"... Marias phone rings- "AHH!" They both yell- "Should I answer it?" Maria asks staring at Amy and glancing at the phone in her hand- "NO! Maria come here- You shouldn't have said ANYTHING, you're going to scare him off!" The phone stops ringing, then there's a knock at the door- Maria whispers: "Sh*t, Amy...Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t"... Amy whispers back: "Don't answer it"... Jackie yells laughing from the other side of the door- "Yall REALLY think I ain't know yall in there?! Alright, fine...Maria you call me, girl"...Then he leaves. Maria falls onto the couch next to Amy, covering her face with her hands- "Oh noooo, Amy... Hes going to think Im psycho, or clingy or something...Hes just different...And you didnt see him with those kids!" Maria dramatically falls over on the couch- "UGH!" "WHAT are you going to do?!" Amy asks still covering her mouth- Maria shakes her head, then slaps her forehead- "I dont knooow...This is bad, right? BAD. AND my dad is a total jerk about ALL of this"... "This is Bullsh*t, Amy...Im going to bed"... Maria falls onto her bed face down in her pillow- "MmmmmGmmmmmmm," she rolls over- "Im SO dumb right now, Mr Grizzy...I told that boy I loved him... Its too soon"... She stares at the bear beside her, and sings quietly- Not to disturb Amy... "Its too soon for you to be walking around in my head and sleeping with my emotions like its our bed I kiss the memory of you every morning when I awake and Ill wait as long as it takes, and I dont care if the Earth tears apart it hurts my heart every second when we're apart and thats not the worst part- The worst part is, I gave you a walk through in my mind, and showed you were my heart is and I co signed for you... I signed on the dotted line, for you to move in too soon... Its too soon for you to move into my frame and for it to tremble at the sound of your name or for it to speak for me every time Im near you- I fear you will hurt me, and desert me, while I go through withdrawal, because after all, this is all my fault cause I allowed this too early... Its too soon for you to take a glimpse into my soul to take control, and know how to console me, and hold me like you know me when you dont... Just go... Im sorry... But its too soon"... Maria cries herself to sleep- (To Be Continued...) |
