Why Am I Going Crazy?, chapter 8
As those three words left his mouth, I didn't know whether I should jump up and down for joy, or start sobbing... It's funny how those three simple words could cause so much emotion to come alive in the person they're being said to, and so nerve racking to say for the person speaking them. I just sat there in shock, staring up into Mike's beautiful blue eyes like this was some kind of a joke, searching for a hint to support my theory, but, alas, I found none. Mike really loves me? I sat there in shock, my mouth openning and closing periodically..... as if my mind wanted to say something but my mouth didn't want to cooperate.
I finally found enough of my voice to udder, barely audibly, "Wh-what?"
Mike saw my shock/confusion and sat down next to me on the bed and took my tiny, doll-like hands in his and stared deep into my eyes, he looked so serious and he repeated "I love you, look, I know we haven't known each other for long but-" I cut him off there, finally gaining control over my body again. I leaned in and kissed him... his lips felt so soft against mine it was a quick kiss, but the best one I had ever had. I pulled away and looked into his eyes lovingly.
"Mike, I love you too... but my "parents" will come after me and I don't want you to get hurt." I tried to explain my best.
"Well, I won't let them get you... I can't stand the thought of letting them take you away from me again." Mike's voice quivered.
Mike's POV
They could never take Jessie away from me again, I could barely survive the first time... I couldn't handle it a second time. I thought as I looked into her big beautiful brown eyes, now filled with sadness. The sadness had been there since I had taken her away from McDonalds.... but now there was more sadness thrown in there and I wanted so badly to take all her pain away. I leaned in and kissed her again, this time deeper. I loved the feeling of her lips against mine... I felt so complete. At first, Jessie accepted the kiss, then she pulled away suddenly.
"Look Mike..." She began and my heart sank. "I can't do this... I'll only cause you pain. That's the way my life is, every one I love always gets hurt, so I can't love any one. You shouldn't love me... it'll only cause trouble."
Jessie's POV
I tried to explain to the best of my ability, but Mike looked so hurt and it made me want to cry. I wanted so bad to be able to be with him and be happy... but that's not how my life is, my life is just one tragic event after another and I couldn't let Mike get caught up in this vicious cycle.
"I-I'll deal with the pain, I don't care as long as I'm with you." Mike reasoned, tears starting to form at the bottoms of his eyes.
"But Mike, I care okay?" I shouted, tears starting to fall from my pleading eyes. "Maybe it's true that life gets better as you go along, and all my wishes will come true then but for now, we can't be together okay? It's for your own saftey."
Mike's tears had begun to fall at this point. "But... I can't wait any longer!" He whimpered as the tears began to flow like a river down his handsome face. Then, as if on cue, there was a loud BOOM BOOM from the door.
"That must be them... I should go willingly so that y'all don't get hurt." I choked. "Maybe we'll see each other later and everything will be sorted out then."
Mike's POV
She gave me a quick kiss before leaving me there, in all my sadness. She turned and walked out of that room, quickly and easily... the last thing I saw before my happiness disappeared was her black hair flipping back as she rounded the corner to meet her captors... she had left me a second time.
