With You Until The End Of Time; Chapter Four

I bursted through Tabz door, soaking wet and gasping. Tabz looked at me with a sleepy face. "Why are you wet?" She asked sleepily. "Do you really want to know?" I asked her, raising my eyebrows. Tabz held up a finger to make me wait, "Lemme wake up first." she told me.


Tabz got up, walked over to me, touched my hair, and then wiped the water on her face. "Okay, I'm good." She said, much more alert than before. I looked at her weirdly, "Why didn't you just go to the bathroom?" I asked her. Tabz looked at me to the bathroom and back. "The bathroom was too far." She whined and then sat down on her bed.


"Okay, tell me everything!" Tabz said excitedly. I smiled and sat down next to her. "Wait, go change first." she said, pointing to the bathroom. I scowled playfully at her, but went to get changed. When I came back, I sat next to her and opened my mouth to speak. "No! Wait, lemme get popcorn!" Tabz said, rushing downstairs.


I sat there, with my arms crossed waiting impatiently for Tabz to come back. She came back with popcorn, chips, soda, and a movie. "Wait, I thought I was going to tell you what happened?" I asked, eyeing the movie. Tabz chuckled, "Ya, but after that we're gonna watch the movie! I don't wanna go downstairs twice!" she explained, sitting down and taking some popcorn.


I rolled my eyes, "Whatever." and took some chips from the bag. "Okay, tell me everything!" Tabz looked at me with so much excitement. I told her everything, details and feelings and the whole 9 yards. When I was done, she was staring at me with eyes wide and jaw dropped.


"HE KISSED YOU?" She yelled. My eyes widened, "Shhh!!!" I said quickly. Tabz mouthed, "Oops." I smiled and nodded. "He kissed you?" she asked again. I let out an irritated breath. I leaned against her wall and put my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them. "What do I do?" I asked, my voice whining slightly.


Tabz sighed and copied my movement, "Well, at school, if you like him, march up to him, slam him against the locker and kiss him like theres no tomorrow." she told me, smiling brightly. I scoffed, "Yea, like I'm going to do that." I said sarcastically. Tabz looked at me seriously, "You should, you need to stop being so quiet and stand up for what you want." She chided me. I rolled my eyes, "I'm not you Tabatha." I said quietly.


She looked at me and hugged me, Tabz knew I only called her by her full name when I was angry or sad. "Its alright, your you, and you need to break out of your shell of 'quietude'." Tabz soothed me and I laughed. "Nice way to put it." I said. Tabz smiled. "So are you going to do it?" she asked.


I considered it, Jason kissed me, that meant something. I kissed back, so he must think something. But I ran away, what does he think of that? I looked at Tabz from the corner of my eye and saw her nodding encouragably. I sighed, and smiled, "What the hell?" I replied.

Tabz, Ryan, and I walked to school and as soon as I made it to my locker, I was hyperventialting. Tabz hugged me quickly, "You can do it, Lana." She whispered in my ear. Ryan smiled nicely and nodded. I smiled back weakly. I knew Tabatha was going to tell him. I took a couple of calming deep breaths and opened my locker.


I got the mirror from out of there and checked how I looked. I knew it was conceited but I needed to be confident. Looking bad, didn't make me confident. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and started walking to Jason's locker. Then froze.


Jason was at his locker, but with someone.


He was making out with the school slut; Kristen.


I stood there, a couple of feet away from there with my jaw dropped. Jason broke the kiss and looked at me weirdly. I saw something in his eyes; Regret? Pity? Satisfaction? It left too quickly for me to see what it was. I raised my eyebrows and crossed my arms over my chest, showing that I was getting impatient.


Jason whispered something in Kristen's ear and she left. I glared at Jason and went closer to him. "Have a nice morning?" I asked with mock-nice-ness. Jason shot me a dirty look and smiled. "Perfect." He said sarcastically. I leaned against some lockers and stood there, studying Jason.


"You know, I thought you were nice." I admitted. He looked at me in confusion. "You seemed different, but you're just a...fake." I clarified. Jason looked at me in anger. "What?!" He almost yelled. I stared at him evenly, "You heard me." I said calmly. Even I was shocked at how cool I was.


"You look nice, and sweet and sometimes you act like it too, but then you go and screw something up by doing something stupid. You take five steps forward and then seven steps back." I looked at him, and saw that he was getting angry, his patience wearing thin. It looked like he was hurt too, but I ignored it.


"What about you, huh?" Jason asked angriliy. I shrugged, "What about me?" I mocked. Jason glowered and I smiled, taking a step closer. "You know, I'm sorry for running away yesterday." I told him honestly. Jason's look changed, but then he was angry again. Dammit; was he bipolar or something?


"I don't care." Jason said simply, but he did. "You do, or else you wouldn't have been making out with her." I smiled lightly, enjoying aggravating him. "You're a pain in the ass, you know that right?" Jason asked tightly. I grinned, "You got it dude."


Jason smiled and then took another step closer, so that we were almost touching. "I never finished that kiss." He said, leaning closer. I smiled, "Took you long enough." I whispered. Jason closed the distance and kissed me, making me feel like a live-wire all over. I circled my hands over his neck and threw myself into the kiss.


He smiled against my lips, "Talk about getting to know each other." Jason said. Suddenly, I heard clapping. I looked to my left and sure enough, Jason's friends were clapping and cheering. I eyed them suspiscously. One of Jason's friends came over and handed him ten bucks. "You won dude." The guy mumbled. Jason smiled, and then took the money. "Thanks Will." He said and Will caught my eye. I raised my eyebrows and Will winked. I flipped him off.


"It was a bet wasn't it?" I asked, my patience wearing thin. "No, of course not." Jason said, smirking. I glared at him and gritted my teeth. Jason leaned in closer and I pushed him away, "Next time you mess with me like this, I'll make sure you won't ever be able to reproduce." I growled and stormed off towards my first period class.
