Save You From Him

I'm frozen. He's kissing me . To be honest I have no clue what to do. This only my second kiss.

But I can't resist kissing him back. He grins into the kiss when I kiss him back. I put my arms around his neck. He taste like chlorine, his lips are semi- dry and we are dripping wet. The kiss is perfect. My body feels like it's on fire. Sparks shoot through my body. My knees are weakand my lips are tingling.

We break away from the kiss so we could breathe. Chase rest his forehead on mine, slightly breathless. He has on a massive grin that's so contagious it has me grinning too. My cheeks are flushed from the kiss. I stare into his mesmerizing blue eyes for what seems like forever. I don't want this to end. Ever.

The peace is broken when Chase's phone rings loudly from the place he put his phone. He just let's it ing. He groans when it rings again and reluctantly pulls away. He jogs over to the lawn chair where he place his phone and picks it up without looking at the caller ID.

"You just ruined the best time of my life. Can you tell me who you are so that I can kill you?" He answers. I giggle at his idiotic way of answering the phone. "Oh, hi mom." He pause as he listens to her talk. "Yes mom I am still going to kill you for ruining the best day of my life. Just because your my mom you don't get special treatment.. . . I'll tell you about it later. . . Wait what?! Seriously?!. . . Why is she hear so damn early?!. . . Of course I'll go get her but you both owe me big time. . . I love you too mom," He snaps his phone shut and sigh.

He looks over to me and begins to walk over.When he's standing in front of me he sets his phone down and take my hands in his.

"I have to go," he says.

"Already?" I whisper sadly. I cast my eyes down.

He let's go of one of my hands and cup my cheek. "Yeah," he replies. "I'm sorry. I have to pick up my cousin from the airport. She has freakishly bad timing. As always. But I had fun, Terry. A lot of fun. That kiss was amazing."

My cheeks turn slightly pink. "I-I don't want you to leave," I mumble bashfully.

He groans. "Stupid Jessie and her completely wrong timing. Look I'll make it up to you next weekend."

"How?"

"Well, I'll cook for you."

I raise an eyebrow in interest. "You can cook?"

"Of course I can! Macaroni and Cheese is great!" I giggle.

"Your going to make me Mac and Cheese, Chasey?" I blush when I realized what I called him. His grin grows even wider if that's even possible.

"Yes Chasey is going to make you Mac and Cheese for dinner next weekend." I blush and roll my eyes. I take his hand and drag him into Jay's house. He rushes upstairs to get dressed in Jay's room.

I stay downstairs and do a happy dance. I shake my butt and fling my head from side to side and jump up and down. I don't care. I'm just so happy. Happier than I've been in forever.

I stop when Chase clears his throat. I turn around to see him standing there grinning. My face turns incredibly red. I'm so embarassed. "D-did you enjoy m-my l-little dance?" I ask trying to act like him finding me dancing like a fool didn't bother me.

"Yes, Yes I did. Thanks for asking." Then he throws back his head and let's out a booming laugh. I smile softly at how carefree and happy he is.

"Come on I'll walk you to your car." I turn on my heels and walk to the front door throwing it open. We walk side by side to his car.

"I had a good time," he says while opening his car door. "I hate that I have to leave."

"Me too," I say shyly. He smiles at me before suddenly tangling his fingers in my hair and press a quick kiss to my lips.

"See you tomorrow," he murmurs. I just nod not being able to speak. He takes a step back and sit down in his car. "Don't forget to lock the front and back door," he says before closing his car door. I watch as he drives away. Even when I can't see his car anymore I just stand there with a goofy smile on my face and in my heart.

(*******)

I'm sitting on the couch at eleven thirty at night waiting for Jay to get back so I could tell him what happened to me today.

I jump up when I hear the front door open. The first two people I see is Jay's beautiful mother and handsome father. My mom and Jay's mom were best friends since high school freshmen year.Jay and I were born to be best friends.

"Hi mama Garcia," i say kissing her cheek. "Hey papa Garci." I give him a hug. "How was the party?" Aldonza Garcia and Alfonso Garcia are my second parents. I grew up around them. They help me through everything. They give me money when I need it and gave me my own room in thier house. But I sleep with Jay because that's how I like it. They are supportive in everything I do. I love them dearly. But they can't fill the void of my real parents. They understand that too.

"Hi Terry," Mama G says with her heavy spanish accent. "It was really fun. We would've stayed longer but it got really late and you all have school tomorrow." Jay rushes upstairs looking exhausted.

"You should have been there Terry!" Papa G says excitedly. "Everyone was asking for you!" I smile happily. I know why they were asking for me too. They liked it when I blush at the vulgar things they say and the confused look I get when they speak spanish. That can always make them laugh. But they aren't mean about it. They all love me and I feel the same.

Maria walks through the door rubbing her eyes sleepily. She goes up to Papa G and hug him. He chuckles and picks her up bringing her upstairs to her room to tuck her in. She doesn't care if people say she's to big to get tucked in. She loves it.

Then Carlos walks through the door and slams it shut. He has a wide smile on his face/. He suddenly starts twirling around and around yelling, "I'm in love!" I giggle and say goodnight to them before rushing upstairs to talk to Jay.

I throw the door to our room open and close it quickly. Jay's just sitting on the bed listening to his I-pod. I rip the earbuds from his ear and smile at him.

"What?" Jay ask used to me doing that.

"He kissed me," I squeal.

Jay smiles softly. "Oh cool. That's great Terry." He starts to put his ear buds back in but pause when he see's the disappointed look on my face that he didn't want to talk more about it. He sighs and drop his ear buds. "OH MY GOSH!" He squeals like a girl. I giggle at his attempt to act like a girl. "He kissed you?! What was it like?!" I grin. This is why he's my best friend.

I sit on my bed and cross my legs. He does the same and looks at me eagerly. "It was perfect Jay Jay! The kiss made me weak in the knees and my lips tingle."

"Oh la la! Sounds like someone's in love" He sings. I blush and shake my head.

"Not yet I'm not."

"Is that enough girl time Terry?" Jay ask. I nod and let him off the hook. " You need some girl friends."

"No I don't Jay Jay. Your all I need."

"It's alright to say you need more friends Terry. We'll always be best friends. No scratch that. We'll always be brothers." I smile softly and hug Jay.

"Why don't you have a girlfriend Jay Jay?" I ask curiously.

"I have to take care of you," he replies simply. Guilt washes over me. I have to take care of you. Repeats over and over again.

"Jay Jay," I whisper. "You don't have to look out for me. You have a life."

He shakes his head viciously. "If I let my guard down something might happen to you. I will never forgive myself if something happens to you."

I don't want him to give his whole life up for me. "Jay Jay I shouldn't rely on you. I need to grow up and become a big boy."

Terry," Jay starts sounding sternly.

"No Jay Jay. You know I'm right. You can't put your whole high school experience on hold to take care of me." He looks at me sadly.

"I don't want anything to happen to you Terry," Jay mutters.

"It won't," I say even though I don't believe it. "The beatings are becoming less and less," I lie. "He didn't even hit me when I came here yesterday. He didn't even say anything when I said I'm staying with you!"

"Really?" He ask falling for my lie. Kyle cussed me out and threw a few beer bottles at me. I'm going to get it when I get back home.

"Really Jay Jay!" I say grinning. "Nothing is going to happen to me."

"Promise?" Jay says holding out his pinky.

"My pinky promises," I say trying to make an accent like Gru from Despicable Me. But deep down I know that I'm lying. Deep down I know that my beatings aren't over. But I put on a giant grin for Jay Jay. Just to make him happy. Just so he won't sacrifice his life for me. Just so my brother can have a life in high school.
