You, Me, and Time

Chapter 6 - A New Look (?)

(Cover: Brent)
[Jezells' P.O.V]
White lips. Pale face. Breathing in the snowflakes.
Skylar, where the f**k are you?

A rare smile grew on my face. Tinted pink cheeks too. I was in high heels. This was not me. This was for Brent, right? Or was it Thomas?
Confusion it is? Mascara and eyeliner as well. It was a new look.
I was ready. No I wasn't. not at all. Sky hurry up!

These high heels were so hard to walk in. I look to my side to see Brent fixing up some more lights. "Hey, Jezell, is that you? I was just about to-" he turned to me looking shocked. The way he looked at me was. . . Way different. His whole face turned pink. "Damn." I heard him mutter.
"Uh, Jezell, you look. . . Great. You look very-beautiful," Brent says, while standing in an awkward position.

"Thanks" I flash a smile. He nods as I notice his cheeks redden, "Have you heard any news for Skylar?" Brent then asks, giving me a different look. I shake my head 'no' and he nods. "Oh, I hope she's on time for her party tonight."

"I hope."

[Skylars' P.O.V]

"I wish this day would last forever," I whisper, knowing that wasn't possible.
"Me too, and it could."
"But, will it?" I glance up at him, putting on my seatbelt.
He doesn't answer, driving slower, then faster. He stopped alongside the road.
"What're you doing?" I raise an eyebrow as he unbuckles the seatbelt, pulling me in his lap.

"It could." He repeated, in a softer tone. I lay there, looking up at him. "But will it?" I feel a lump in my throat. "No," it takes a moment for Lee to say this. "No, it won't." He wraps an arm around me. "But it could." He says again. I get a little annoyed. "Why're you saying these words?" I mutter.

"Because, it could if we wanted." Lee then planted a kiss on my cheek. "Can it?" I mumble. "That's your decision," either he was being serious, or he was joking in his voice he rarely plays. "You can't be serious," I sit up in his lap. "Why? I totally am." His eyes were locked with mine.
"Lee," I place my head on his shoulder. "There's no way in hell we can be together. It just isn't possible. We have to face that fact-"
He kissed me, pulling me closer. And he didn't stop. He was more aggressive than usual. This isn't the real him.

"Nothing is impossible, love." Lee then said, pulling apart. "And I guess you're going to have to face that fact." He smirked.
"And what about your real love?" I say.
"Andrea? My mother just thought it was the best if we'd be together. But I just don't . . . Like her like that. Although I tell her I love her." Lee sighed. "What's the point of living if you're forced your whole life? What is it? Oh and, what next? I most definitely am going to be forced to marry her." He was angry, I could tell.

"Lee, stop getting stressed out, all right? Everything will be fine." I pat his back. I don't really know what else to say. I back away, only to sit back in my seat. "We should get going," I check my phone to see what time it is, "Shit." I mutter.

"It's 10:34." I glance over at him, "My brother will be pissed, let's head back?"

Only about a block away and we could hear the loud music. I only sigh, getting out. Lee follows, grabbing my wrist gently only to pull me closer, "I'll see you tomorrow?" He whispers into my ear as I nod. I look up at him, as he leans closer, for a gentle kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck, and as I do this I hear trails of footsteps behind us. I stop kissing him, pulling away, only to find my brother charging at Lee. He had red lip stick all over his white shirt. Jezell.

Lee laid there on the grass, with my brother firing fists down to his face. "Dammit, Brent! STOP!" I yell, running over to Lee laying on the ground. Lee weakly pushed him away, crawling near me. Blood gushes.

"Oh my f-Lee, are you okay?" I reach for him, trying to help him up. "Do I look okay?" He leans against me. I blush, trying my best to pull him closer. "Y-you look fine. . . Love," I kiss his cheek. He turns to look up at me with a small (cute) smile. "That's my word, love," Lee says weakly.

"This is a great party." Lee mumbled sarcastically. "Mhm," I slightly smirk, placing a wet wash cloth against his face. "Are you sure you're all right?" I look into his eyes. "I'm fine, and I can just call a taxi or somethin'" Lee leans against me. "I should probably go," He whispered. "I don't want my ass kicked again," Lee softly laughs. "I have to work tomorrow, but I promise, I will visit you some time this week." Lee says while getting up.

Just as Lee leaves, I pick up my phone to text jezell. 'Heyyyyy. Where are you? Come by my place? Probably already are, but. . . Meet up in my room? Sry I left without telling. thx babes'
I sigh knowing she will NOT reply. She's probably hella drunk.

At my door, there stood a gorgeous girl. Jezell. "Damnnnn girllll." I get up. "This is why I do not wear so much make up, and ugh, try hard." Jezell sits down. "Can I ask you a question?" We both say at the same time.
"Uh, you made out with my brother, didn't you?" I shake my head. "Um, maybe a little more." She says quickly.
"No. Not the. . . Frickle frackle."
"Well, um, when you put it that way it sounds bad." Jezell blushes.

"What? I thought you didn't like the word se-"
"I WAS DRUNK, OKAY?"
"No, you weren't." I roll my eyes.
"Fine. I wasn't. Anyways. . . Where's you lil' friend Ashton?" She nudged me, with two winks. "What? What do you mean? I was with-" I stop myself before saying more.
"With?" Jezell rose a brow.
"Lee." I sit up straight.
"What? That rich guy?" Jezell lays back in my bed.
"Um. . . Yeah." I blush.
"So are you guys like. . . Um. . . A thing?" Jezell looks at her nails.
I shrug, "Uh, I don't know. It's complicated."

"Complicated?" Jezell looks back at me. "Oh. . . Tell. tell." She smirked.
"We only kissed a couple times, and plus. . . He has a girlfriend anyway, so there's no way in hell I'll end up with him. That's all. Any boys you're seeing? Are you with. . . Brent?" I sit up.
"No," she blushes. "He was making out with this girl on his lap. He doesn't like me. He just. . . Used me!" Jezell blushed.
"Jezell-Don't say that."
"What? It's only the truth." Jezell shakes her head.

"Shut up. . . No! I don't have feelings for him!" Jezell grinned a little. "It was only a kiss."
"He has a girlfriend you know. Thomas is always with her." I smirk.
"I bet he was drunk." Jezell muttered.
"He was your first crush anyway. Hm, such a coincidence." I wink. "Okay, okay. . . I might have little feelings for him. But only little." She blushes. "TELL THE STORY. HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN?"

[Jezells P.O.V]

"Hey, jezell." Thomas sat next to me on the sidewalk, glancing over at me. "Is something wrong?" He asks in a tone I haven't heard from him before. "No." I sigh, staring down at the street.
"Is this about your little crush?" He smirked slightly. "Crush? I don't have a crush. It's more than just. . . Oh nevermind. Why do you ask?" I turned back to him. "And where's Kendall?" As I ask this, his whole face turns pink.

"Oh, uh. . . We just got into a little argument. It's. . . It's not a big deal." He didn't look me into my eyes when he said this, then full on turned to me, with his eyes glued on mine. "Jezell?" Thomas sighed. "What, Thomas?" I bite my lip.
"Have you ever really. . . Fell in love? As in, a feeling you just-can't explain. And you just can't tell another person how they feel, but they somehow know it, and they don't completely feel the same way?" Thomas said these words in a normal pace. He looked at me seriously.

Yes, I really have.

"I mean, I guess. Why ask?" I shrug. "It's just, I like a girl. . . But I don't really know how to explain my true feelings." Thomas looked at me in a confused way.
"Kendall? I thought-"
"What if I said it wasn't her, is that really bad?"
"Well, no, but-"
He moved a little closer, "But I don't know if it's really love, jez." Thomas placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Her name?" I bite my lip.
"Uh..."
"That's a weird name."
"No, I mean-"
"Is she Chinese?" I grin.
"I don't know... Is she?" He laughs
"That's what I'm asking." I play.
"Her real name is. . . Uh. . . Nevermind. I like Kendal"
"What a coincidence!" I laugh.
"No, stop playing this foolish game. Jezell, I don't really-"
I actually kissed him. Because hell. I don't know why I made that mistake.
But he pulled away, getting up, only to say, "I'm sorry." Then ran.

Heyyyy !
this chapter was actually way different than i had originally planned it to be.
