CLAIRE'S POV
I'm not going home. I can't go home. IT'S NOT FAIR. My parents found out I was hanging out with Jim. They started abusing me and kicked me out. I have nowhere to go. So I just sit at the edge of the street near Arcadia High holding my cut arm.
"Hey Claire.....wait are you alright?" A young male voice asked. I felt a soft hand on the left side of my cheek.
"........" I didnt say anything.
"Have you been crying?....oh Claire, whats wrong?"
I knew exactly whose voice that was. And before i knew it, the male had pulled me in for a hug, I started crying on his shoulder. I felt comfortable in his arms. When I looked up, I could feel my face getting hot even though I was freezing cold. I knew it was Jim, and I had recently gathered feelings for him. I was about to tell him what happened when it started pouring with rain like a storm and Jim took my hand and went towards his house.
"Claire, can I ask you a quick question?" Jim asked concerningly.
"umm.....sure.." I mumbled.
"Why are you holding your arm?"
I hesitated. Should I tell him the truth? I mean what if he reacts in a way where my parents will get hurt... nah he wouldn't do that. I love him too much to think he'd do that. He's not that rash. I think I can trust him.
"Don't freak out when I show you ok?"
" okay " Jim said quite scared.
I pulled down my jacket sleeve and there was blood all down my arm. And a big cut just halfway between my shoulder and my elbow.
Jim gasped and hesitated. I was scared of what he was going to do.
".....Claire....how did this happen...... hang on I'll go get my mother's first aid kit and some bandages."
I blushed. He'd be great boyfriend material. Wait....... what?
"I got them... so how did you cut yourself?"
" Uhm ...well....funny story..... but .....well you see.......I didn't cut myself...." I stuttered. He looked at me confused.
" Huh? So who did cut you?"
This was a tough thing for me to say. I kept flinching as he mended my cut by cleaning it then placing a dressing on it and then bandages over the dressing.
" Um.....m-my parents...."
He looked at me shocked and mortified.
" And why did they do that might I ask?"
I hesitated. I could tell my eyes started to feel watery and blurry.
" You know when you said I should tell my parents about my little brother in the darklands and you saving him.... well they didn't believe me and started abusing me because I told them I was friends with you and they just ........"
I couldn't finish what I was saying and it seemed Jim was perfectly fine with that. It looked like he had heard enough. My eyes were flooding with tears. Jim pulled me in for a hug.
" I will always be here for you Claire because you mean the world to me. I love you I always have and I always will. I was just afraid you'd reject me. And you don't have to worry about anyone or anything. "
"Jim...." I said his name which caught his attention and grabbed his face and pulled him in for a kiss. He froze at first but then returned the kiss.
We finally broke the kiss both blushing madly but then Jim broke the silence.
"So...... uhm *cough** breathing heavily for half a second* Claire Nunez will you be my girlfriend, till death shall we part?"
I blushed and so did he.
" Yes James Lake Jr, I shall be your girlfriend, till death do us part."
And with that we kissed, but this time with more passion and love.
