The air was tense. The inside was quaint, with a few electronics. A TV was on as was a computer. There was something on a small table that looked somewhat like an iPad. I couldn't see a phone anywhere. The furniture was laid neatly. There was a door and a few walls covering space that seemed to be the bathroom. There were these doors which lead to two separate bedrooms.. The cave wasn't as big as its prodigious size on the exterior. The young woman still cooking caught me looking around. "It may seem small, but its a beauty" she remarked about the cave. I nodded, not wanting to be rude. I checked my phone, it said 12:30PM. I still had 1 hour and 30 minutes. There weren't clocks anywhere. Only this sand timer that was dropping tiny emeralds every minute, in the back of the room. Jessie stared at me, probably thinking I didn't know. I caught his eye and he quickly occupied himself with the bowl of berries on the counter in front of him. I smiled secretly. I think he caught me smiling because he then said to me "You have such a cute smile. There's no reason to hide it". I started to blush and his mom started to smile. I turned to him and he took my hand, and we started to walk to what looked like his room. "OH MY GOD! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS?!" I stared in complete shock at the absurd scene. There was a big, brown furry bear laying on the floor. Jessie smiled and said to the bear "Bobo get up. Semma's not used to you yet." I smiled at the though of it. The bear left to the kitchen and I sat on the bed. Jessies room smelled of dust, bear, and flowers. It was weirdly pleasant. The walls had been painted red and his bed could fit three people.
Jessie came over to me and kissed my cheek. I tensed. His lips were soft, warm, and felt so pleasant. After he kissed my cheek he went for my lips. I had the greatest urge to move closer to him and kiss him. Instead I thought of Sebastian. my boyfriend of 6 months and how much he loved me. Jessie's lips were so close, but I just couldn't cheat on Sebastian. I quickly shot those ideas out of my head. "I'm sorry, but I have a boyfriend. I'm sorry." I turned away from him, with tears in my eyes. I grabbed my stuff and ran out of the cave, shoving open the bamboo door. Jessie's face was filled with confusion, pain, and this distant haunting look, when I glanced back at him before making a run out. I followed the footprints Jessie had made, carrying me to this cave. I quickly took a picture of the cave, as a memory before I ran off into the woods crying. I kept running, wanting to go back, but couldn't.
I was just steps away from my parents when I was back in Jessie's room. I was looking right into his eyes in confusion. I know I had just left his cave. Jessie took his hand and wiped away my tears that were still pouring. Without a word, he took out a diamond necklace and put it on me. The tingly feeling of his hands set chills up my spine. He sat on his bed, and I just stood there not knowing what to do. If I ran back, would I be mysteriously transported back to Jessie's room like before? My brain filled with questions that I just couldn't ask. There was a blockage in my throat. The air turned cold and rain started to pour down on. I could feel the coldness, and I could hear the drip drop of the rain on the cave's ceiling. My mom was calling me, but I couldn't and wouldn't answer. My eyes were locked on Jessie, who was staring at the ceiling. I didn't know what to do so I turned around to leave. I took two steps forward and then was on Jessie's bed. I was sitting in front of him and he put his arms around me. He then put his head on my shoulder and his blond hair with purple streaks was in my face. We didn't talk. We had this mutual connection, that didn't need words to explain it. He leaned back against the wall and I moved with him. For what seemed like hours we sat there in silence our eyes closed and breathing the same air. His warm body against me felt heavenly. I leaned my head against him, taking in the comforting scent of him.
After a while I opened my eyes and I was sitting in the back seat of the car, on my way home. How I got here, I don't know and I wondered if I would ever see Jessie again. I looked out at the raining sky and thought about what had happened with Jessie and I, and my mouth curled into a warm smile. It suddenly occurred to me, I shouldn't have done that. It just wasn't ethical of me. I had and loved Sebastian, but Jessie and I just felt right, like it was almost destiny when I had my body pressed against his. The thought jolted out of me when a bolt of lightning ripped out of the sky and landed right in front of the car. I took a quick breath and felt terrified. Was I going to die? I couldn't die without seeing Jessie again. I just couldn't. I took another breath to stabilize my self. One moment, the rain seemed to be macbre with pierces of lightning and clashes of thunder. And in another moment, it was just drizzles hitting the the car's windshield. It was as if two powerful forces were battling each other. I looked down at my lap and then out my window. I could have sworn I saw jessie standing there. His eyes were deep endless black holes, that I couldn't stop staring at. His body was still and he was looking with such pain. Such agony that i couldn't bear it. I almost yelled stop! But, instead I took hold of myself. I looked at my necklace and then out the windshield. I screamed. A moment ago Jessie was standing there as if he wanted to get hit by our car. Was this my imagination or was he really there? With that thought, I dozed off, tired after what had happened today.
I woke up, suddenly in my bed. My purple sidekick buzzed, meaning I had received a new text. Sebastian had told me to come over to his house. I quickly got dressed and walked over to Sebastian's house. I went up to his room. Sebastian and I were making out on the bed. and the window of his room open with Jessie sitting at the sill. My eyes trailed off of Sebastian and into Jessie's eyes that filled with blatant pain and loathing staring at the image in front of him. My heart sunk. Jessie left, climbing onto the tree next to Sebastian's window. I looked at Sebastian's face right on top of mines and I thought about the pain that was inflicted into Jessie's eyes only a moment ago. I mentally processed this and pushed Sebastian off of me. "I'm sorry, my mom wants me home," I fibbed. I had to see if Jessie was somewhere near. "I'll text you later," saying something I knew was going to happen anytime soon. I ran out of the house somehow happy. I had caught Sebastian's face that was filled with loathing and perplexity. I dismissed the thought out of my brain, for his pain didn't seem to matter much to me. What mattered to me right now was that I had to find Jessie.
I searched for Jessie all over town. The thought of me and him together motivated me to keep moving. I walked for what seemed hours. I passed stores, schools, gas stations, and everything else. I had finally found him at the edge of Willow Stream. If you followed that stream down, you would have gotten to Lake Blank. But when I saw Jessie I was stupefied. I wasn't happy that I had found Jessie after so long. There Jessie was, not alone. He was with Rose, my best friend. And now my ex-best friend. They were flirting and holding hands. I felt betrayed, not by Rose, but by Jessie. Had he forgotten what we shared yesterday? I walked to where they could visibly see me. Rose was smiling, and Jessie's eyes were filled with happiness, not the pain it had when he was with me. Jessie's eyes caught mines, and then interlocked with Rose's. He pressed Rose's body closer to him. And then they kissed passionately. They seemed to melt into each other when they kissed. No attention was paid to my presence. It hurt so much just looking at that. I had just lost Sebastian, and now my best friend Rose and Jessie. They had finally pulled away for some breath. They looked as if they were about to make out again. I seized the opportunity of the kissing break, and I slapped Jessie's face. Hard. Jessie stared at me, he looked not hurt, but content and happy. As if he had accomplished something. Was this his revenge for seeing me earlier with Sebastian?
