Chapter 16-
I decided to fight except this time I tried to use my legs.
“Stop please!” I kneed him in the back and all that did was push him closer to me.
I was crying harder and I was pretty sure my lips were swollen.
He wasn't doing anything but sitting on my bottom half and holding my hands above my head. He leaned down and kissed me softly I turned my head away.
I heard him sigh, “Alexa, it's time to show you who I am.” He moved his hands away and started to take off the mask.
'I was thinkin bout her thinking bout me.
Thinkin bout us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes, it was only just a dream.'
I sat up in bed crying and sweaty.
I looked around my room and found my cell phone sitting on my dresser. I reluctantly stood and limped over to it. I picked it up and walked into my bathroom.
I looked in the mirror and wiped my eyes.
“I'm never taking pain killers before I go to sleep ever again.” I pulled my hair into a loose pony tail before I decided to check my phone.
I frowned seeing it was only the alarm.
“Hey Lexa!” I stepped out of the bathroom to see Jessica staring at my bed confused.
“I was in the bathroom.” I walked over to my bed and sat down.”So what did ya need?”
“Mom wanted me to ask what you want to ea, and she wanted me to tell you she'll be gone for a month for a business trip.”
“Oh, okay I’ll be downstairs in a minute I just got to clean up a bit.”
“Okay, but um have you been crying?” she grabs my cheeks and pulls my face closer to hers making my lips pucker.
I tried to talk but it came out more like 'bluh blu blah'.
Sighing I pulled her hands away from my face.
“Jess, I was crying.” she widened her eyes about to say something but I cut her off. “It's okay it was only a bad a dream, well more like a horrible dream.”
“Oh.” I cocked my head to the side looking into her, I saw something I didn't really like in them but it quickly changed.
“Okay I’m leaving to let you get ready.” she reluctantly got up and from my bed and left, I herd the doors soft click and I got up to change into some more comfortable clothes.
I was confused as to why Jessica was so apprehensive before she left.
I sighed and pulled my pony tail tighter as I walked down the stairs to the dinning area.
I sat down across from Jessica. I could feel her starring at me so I looked up and cocked my head to the side and mouthed 'what'. She just rolled her lips into her mouth, something-she did when she was nervous-and shock her head before mouthing 'nothing.'
“Okay girls, as you know I have a business trip and I’m going to be gone for a month.” we both nodded just as the maid came in and set our plates in front of us.
I smiled politely at her before she walked away into the kitchen.
“Alexa, I’m sorry about what I told you in the car earlier I didn't mean to offend you in any way.” I smiled at my step-mom and set down my fork and knife.
“It's okay, I know you didn't mean it. I was just..... caught off guard I guess.” I shrugged and turned back to my plate.
“What are you talking about Mom?” Jessica looked from her mom to me confused.
I looked down not really wanting to say anything.
“I was telling Alexa that I really don't trust this Justin and I don't really think he's the best person for her.”
I sighed and drummed my fingers on the table.
“Oh....” Jessica looked down at her food and started to move it around I starred at her confused trying to figure out what her problem was.
I really wanted to know what was wrong with Jessica, and why she wasn't telling me anything. I also wanted to know why Tiffany didn't like Justin. It all really confused me. I snapped out of my thoughts when it was oddly quiet and I felt everyone's eyes on me. I looked down and saw I was cutting my mashed potatoes.
My face flushed a deep red and I put down the silver ware.
“Sorry, I was uh just thinking I guess...” I trailed off not knowing what to say.
I heard Jessica let out a giggle and I looked up to glare at her, she stopped immediately.
I smiled and picked up my fork and started to eat.
*-*-*-*-*
I was sitting in bed trying to catch up with my homework when I heard a knock on the door. My heart started beating fast when I remembered my dream.
“C-come in.” I saw Jessica come in dressed in her pajamas and I let out a breath I was holding. My heart beat started to slowly return to normal.
“Hey Jess,what's up?” I closed my Trig book and set it on the floor near my bed.
“I just, um I need to tell you something I think you should know.” she looked down to her hands and started fiddling with her fingers.
“Okay what is it?” I look at her confused and kind of uncomfortable.
“I don't thi-”
' Run far away So I can breath
Even though your far from suffocating me
I cant set my hopes to high
cause every hello ends with a goodbye '
I blushed deeply and reached for my phone.
“Sorry Jess, I um have to take this call.” she nods her head and looks down so I press the answer icon.
“Hello?”
“Hey, Alexa I just wanted to tell you good night since I didn't see you at all today.” I smiled imaging Justin look away or blush as he talked.
I blushed not really knowing what to say.
“Alright, goodnight Justin see you soon.”
“Oh, I know you will, go dream of me now like you do every night.” I blushed deeper if thats even possible.
“I-i don't dream of you.” I could hear him laughing in the background and I that made me want to punch him.
“Just kidding, but you never denied it either.” I knew he was smirking. Damn! He got me there.
“Well, I um uh, ugh Goodnight Justin.”
he was laughing again, “Goodnight gorgeous.” I smiled and hung up my phone.
“Oh, sorry Jess I forgot you where here. What did you want to talk to me about?” she looks down again and shakes her head.
“Never mind, night Lexa see you in the morning.” she gets up to walk out of my room and I stare after her confused.
“Night Jess.” she walked put and shut my door.
“She's been weird tonight...” I mumble as I turn off the light.
I set my phone back on the table and lied down, ready to go sleep.
