My Sweet Loving Jimmy - Corinne Rose (self help books to read txt) 📗

"Your right." I smiled and said, "I know." We then walked to the door and walked outside. A peice of my hair got in my face and before I could, Jimmy moved it out of my face. "Thanks." I said and I started to blush. We said bye and he left. The next day was picture day, and I wished I hadn't told my mom. She made me wear a short skirt, and I don't know why. You cant even see my legs in the picture. Sense my car was getting fixed Jimmy said he was going to take me to school and back. Jimmy rang the door bell and I opened the door. He just stood there and looked at me. "My mom made me wear this." He still stood there silent. "Lets go." I shouted. We then left for school, and as soon as we got inside everybody was stairing at us. "What are they stareing at?" "You." Jimmy said.


"What?" I said as I turned to face him.


"Willow, have you looked in the mirror yet?"


"No. Hold on" I then checked the girls bathroom and no one was in it, so I pulled Jimmy in with me.


"I'm not suppose to be in here."


"Jimmy why are they looking at us?"


"Turn around." Jimmy said as he faced me toward the mirror. "They arn't looking at us, they are looking at you." I looked in the mirror and started to say, "I look...." "Beautiful." Jimmy said. I then looked at Jimmy and told him he was crazy and we left the bathroom. Later at break time I went to get some water. After I did that I started looking for Jimmy. I wondered into a hallway calling his name, then I heard some yelling so I turned the corner to find Jimmy and some other guy fighting. So I quickly went over and pulled Jimmy off of the other guy. "Jimmy stop!" I yelled while pulling him away. He had a cut by his left eyebrow and his left cheek was starting to bruise. "Hey sweetheart I need some comforting too." the other guy said while winking at me. Jimmy began to get mad again and started to clench his fist. "Go get some comforting from your mommy stupid." I said as I pulled Jimmy away. Once we got outside we walked to the park around the corner and sat on a bench. I turned to him with a napkin I had wet with some of my water and started to wipe the blood off of his forehead. "Jimmy are you crazy you could have gotten suspended or expelled." I said. "It would have been worth it." He responded. I then took out a small butterfly bandaid out of my bag. "No it wouldn't, what has gotten in to you?" I looked at him with a concerned face. I put the bandaid on his temple, then he said. "Where did you get that bandaid?"


"Don't try to change the subject Jimmy. What happened?"


"Nothing."


"That sure didn't look like nothing." I said looking him in the eyes.


"He was saying things."


"What kind of things?"


"Things about you."


"About me? Jimmy what did he say?"


"Nothing he was just talking crap." He said, as I looked away.


"Jimmy?" I looked at him. "Were you defending me?" I asked. "I was protecting you." He said. "Jimmy you don't need to do that. I can protect myself."


"I know you can, but I want to." We both smiled at each other, and then we walked back to school. After the day was over everybody heard about the fight and was stairing us down big time. But I didn't care, well as long as Jimmy doesn't get in troble for the fight. We left the school and went to my house. I made some dinner for us and mom got home early again. "Willow, something smells amazing." she walked into the kitchen when me and Jimmy were done eating and he was about to leave. "Hey Anny." Jimmy said. "Well hello Jimmy, it's nice to see you here again." My mom looked at me then went upstairs. Jimmy and I walked outside and I closed the door. "When you get home you need to change the bandaid and put an anticeptic on it.""Okay." Jimmy said,"I'll see you tomorrow then."
"But tomorrow is Saturday." I said kind of confused like. Then Jimmy answered, "I know."
We both smiled and he was about to walk away when I said, "Wait." "Whats wrong Willow?" He asked. "You forgot something." I then leaned in and kissed his cheek and whispered thank you. He smiled and then got in his truck and left. I went inside and found my mom in the kitchen. "What happened to his head?" She asked in a suspicious voice.


"He was in a fight."


"Why?"


"I don't know, but I stoped it."


"Willow I don't think you should be hanging out with someone who causes troble."


"Mom he was protecting me, thats what the fight was about. Me."


"Oh, well just make sure he doesn't get into any more fights, it doesn't look good."


"Whatever, I'm going to bed." I walked up stairs and went to bed. The next morning I woke up really happy and I don't know why. Do I have feelings for Jimmy? Feelings of more than a friend
or bestfriend? I've never felt this way before. Does he feel the same way too, or is it just me? What am I thinking of course he doesn't, this is just a blossoming friendship thats all.

 

~ Maybe Its More ~

 

Once Jimmy got to my house he said he was going to take me somewhere. He said it was going to be a surprise. "Willow I need you to put this blindfold on." "What, are you crazy?" I responded. "Yes, I am actually. But really, just put it on." He said in somewhat of a convincing voice. "No. Jimmy stop." I said while he tried to put it on for me. Jimmy turned me around to face him and he asked, "Do you trust me?" I stood there for a few seconds thinking about what he had just asked me. "Yes...." I said taking in a breath and letting it out. "I trust you." Then I turned around and he put the blindfold over my eyes and walked me to his truck. I got in carefully, then he started to drive. While he was driving I started to think maybe this isn't just a friendship, maybe its more. About 10 minutes into the drive I could feel us slowing down and then come to a stop. Jimmy got out and opened my door. I stepped out and I could smell a freshly mowed lawn. I've always loved that smell. He took the blindfold off and I looked around.


"Jimmy, why are we at a cemetery?"


"I want you to meet someone."


"What?" I asked while he grabbed my hand and lead me to a grave stone. It read, "Nathan Jack Ladaro" I then looked at Jimmy and hugged him. Still holding on to his sides, I looked up at him.


"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"


"It was when I was 12. Its not that big of a deal."


"Not that big of a deal. Jimmy your father is dead, and its not that big of a deal?" I turned and started to walk away because I felt tears coming. Jimmy grabbed my hand and turned me back around toward him. With sadness in his voice he said, "I didn't want pitty, or to upset you, but now its to late." A tear ran down my face and I looked up at him. "We are bestfriends. Were not suppose to keep things from each other." "Wheres your father, you never talk about him." Jimmy said with an angered tone in his voice.


"In my bed room."


"What?"


"My dad, he's in my bed room on the shelf above my desk. His ashes are in a purple container."


"And your angry with me for not telling you about my dad. When you have your dads ashes in your bed room." I looked at him with a confused face. I wasn't angery. "What? No, Jimmy I'm not angery with you. I'm just...." He then cut me off saying. "Your just what?" "Confused, I'm just confused." I looked at his beautiful face once more, then I started walking away. He followed me but didn't say anything. Once I got to the truck I got in and buckled up. Jimmy soon came and we left. The whole ride back to my house was silent. I then got out and I opened the door, not even bothered to look back at Jimmy. "Willow." He said in a caring voice as I shut the car door. I went inside my house and ran upstairs to my bed room. Sitting on my bed I just started to cry and I couldn't stop. Sunday was a blur, all I remember was going to church and coming back home. Back upstairs I went and then I woke up this morning. My car was out of the shop now so I drove myself to school. I ignored Jimmy the whole day until he came up to me while I was walking out of the school doors. "Willow we need to talk." He said. "Theres nothing to talk about." I replied while still walking. Jimmy grabbed my arm and turned me around to face him.


"Don't shut me out Willow."


"Whatever." I looked away.


"I can't do this without you."


"You can't do what without me?" I said while turning my head to look back at him.


"Live." He said in a soft voice.


"Your still breathing, you look fine to me."


"Thats not funny, you know what I mean."


"It wasn't suppose to be funny." I said then turned and walked away. Once I got to my car I left and went home. I then went into my house and about a minute later the door bell rang, and I new who it was. I took a deep breath then let it out and opened the door. "What do you want now?" I asked Jimmy while walking outside on the front porch. He looked at me with a caring face and simply said. "You."


"Well that's to bad, because you can't have me."


"Why?" Once Jimmy said that I walked over on the grass and he followed.


"Why? Because you can't always get what you want, because you need honesty in a relationship. Thats why."


"I will be
