I Peed Myself In Front Of My Crush

Chapter 21: "I Do"

Bridget had managed to see me crying again, and it was because I unconsciously hid behind her car and decided to shed all my tears and snot.

She didn't really mind my ugly crying though, as she wiped away my tears and embraced me gently.

There was something definitely not right with Bridget.

I opted to ignore her behavior and just nuzzled my face in her clothed shoulder, welcoming the comfort that she was providing me with. Well, after I had blown my nose in the handkerchief that she had offered. Didn't want her designer clothes to have my snot all over them.

I was grateful to her that she didn't ask me why I was even crying in the first place, and the silence that surrounded us was comfortable.

"D-do you want to sit in my car?" I raised my head from her shoulder and nodded lightly, as I calmed myself somewhat. She got up from the parking lot floor first before extending a hand for me. I looked at her hand for a while before taking it and getting up too.

When I had dusted the back of my pants, I looked at Bridget only to find her looking shyly towards the ground with red colored cheeks.

Not containing the curiosity anymore, I blurted out, "Are you okay?" Bridget's eyes snapped from the ground to me and she grinned at me before nodding. I took that as an obvious no.

"You don't seem like, uh...you usually do?" I wanted to hit myself for sounding so unsure when I was certain that she wasn't usually like this. So kind and nice, and comforting. Hell, she wasn't dark-haired either.

Her lips stayed curved as she looked at me, like really looked at me. Her stare was penetrating my soul, and I stood there feeling lost and confused. Who knew she could stare so intensely?

"I really like you, Jade. I hope you believe me."

Her words made me more confused as I nodded at her with uncertainty.

"O-kay."

"No, it's not okay." She sighed and I saw her lips turn into a thin line. It made me wish that she'd just continue smiling at me. "If you'd just look around you, you'd realize that there are people that love you back."

Unconsciously and pretty much stupidly, I looked around the semi-empty parking lot, getting an annoyed sigh from Bridget.

"You know what I mean."

Feeling embarrassed for doing that, I bowed my head down with warm cheeks.

"I know that you won't be able to forget Paige, or even love me the way that you love her." I choked on my saliva when I heard what Bridget said and where this conversation was headed, but I still managed to convince my mind that maybe I heard it wrong. "But, you should know, I'm willing to wait for as long as you need."

Her hands clasped around mine and my eyes widened.

You're dreaming Jade, you are dreaming. This is not happening in real life. Just imagine this all coming out from Megan Fox's mouth and not Bridget's. Yeah, this is all just your fantasy. Not real. Not even close to reali—

"Because I love you."

That was the second time, the second time, that I ran away from a serious confession. Yes, the second time that day.

The first time was when Tim had told me that he had dated Paige and had gotten his heart broken by her. Not to mention, how I still liked Paige after all that I had seen and heard.

Tim could only call after me as I ran out of the classroom and into the parking lot, where I chose to cry behind Bridget's orange car out of all the damn cars parked in that damn school parking lot. Which then led to Bridget's claim of loving me, and her telling me how she would give me time to love her back.
