My one chance

Chapter 6!!!!!!

6****

Part 6

I slow to a stop and try to catch my breath.

Not wanting James to see me I duck behind a log and just sit there looking to see if I can see him coming.

After about a minute after catching my breath I start to calm and tell myself he must've just given up and gone back to the picnic.

i tell myself that I'll go back but sitting down and looking around I decide to stay a bit,

get some alone time and collect my thoughts.

I could hear a creek near by and that seems to drown out all other noise.

I thought about last night.

How fun it was playing the board games even if James only said hi.

And how quickly he turned from the James I've known at netball

-shy,quiet, and a bit rude if i do say so myself -

to this James who can be childish, laugh and be fun.

Weird eh?

My mind starts to wander further off back into the past.

How I fell for Tom,

how I let him hurt me bad.

Could that possibly happen again?

Tom was 18.

James is 18.

Is he playing with me?

I decide the pain is getting too much to handle.

The wound still too fresh for my heart to handle.

I scrinch my eyes up together and shake my head to get rid of the memories which are too fresh and vivid in my mind.

I go to open my eyes

and staring at me,

so close to my face ,

was James.

How'd he do that?!

He must've snucked around and crept up on me when I was daydreaming (more like daymare).

At first,

out of such fright,

I cringe back ,

trying to blink back the betraying tear which has already escaped my bright green eye.

In seeing this James's smile disappears so quickly my heart breaks a little bit to see him sad.

He come sits next to me and crosses his legs .

' You okay? Sorry if I gave you such a fright".

I turn away,

too embarrassed to meet his eye,

I am no longer crying..

no tears staining my face.

James starts to look worried and touching my arm asks ,

" talk to me please?

What's wrong? "

taking a deep breath I turn and look him in the eye.

his eyes are full of concern and he looks upset

(he thinks he made me cry)

and confusion,

he must've seen that tear escape.

Smiling wearily I say

' don't worry, you haven't done anything..

It was so peaceful here that I daydreamed a bit.'

Not convinced he touches my arm and says ,

" what is it though?

what were you day dreaming about?

If its anything I've done I'm sorry, I don't ever want to hurt you."

Knowing that he's not going to let me go till I tell him I briefly tell him I was thinking of an old guy friend who really didn't turned out to be my friend ,

he used me to get to someone close.

Ie. my best friend

He seemed a bit confused as to why I would think that at a time like this and not wanting him to think he was the reason I thought of it I tell him it's the place .

' It looks very similar as to where Tom and I use to hang out.'

James understanding this grabs me by the shoulders and in such a strong and confident tone that I've never heard before he says ,

' " don't compare him to me, I won't do that to you. I'm here for you'

and in that he wraps his arms around me and pulls me in a tight and secure hug.

At that moment it feels like nothing can touch me.

I was safe from all harm.

We stay like that for a bit ,

not wanting to let go but knowing that we must I whisper in his ear

' thank you' .

Though I could not see it I could tell he was smiling:)

soon enough though James ,

deciding the moment was over,

zaps me.

Screaming I pull back and playfully hit him

" how dare you! "

he shrugs and smiles ,

" I told you to give up cuz I wasn't gonna "

he tries another grab at me but this time I actually kick his hand.

I quickly get to my feet and start to apologize

' sorry sorry i didnt mean to kick you!'

He pretends he's cracking his neck,

' oh you're gonna get it now '.

I decide he has accepted my apology and start to run again .

i could tell James wasn't far behind.

I could feel his presence behind me which frightened me but also puts a stupid grin on my face.
