I'll Be (A Jick Story) Ep. 18 [Part Two]

Part TWO! :D
(This has way too much dialogue. :/)

"Joe," I crooned, lifting a hand to cup his cheek. The second I released Joe's wrist, his hand flew up to smack me across the face. Ow! He rolled out from under me while I was stunned, cheek screaming at me. Man, did he have and arm! My face is freaking burning!
"Now, please. Get out of my house," he growled.
"No!" Stubbornness played a dominant role in my gene pool.
"Joe, I know that what I did was..."
"I don't want to hear it, Nick! You're just going to tell me more lies. Get out, or I swear to God, I'm picking up the phone and calling 9-1-1."
Joe started to make his way towards the kitchen, where the home phone was.
"Joe, stop! Okay, I know. I made a huge mistake. I was a dumbass. I am a total dumbass. I made a douche bag move, and-" Joe picked up the phone, so I started to talk faster. "I shouldn't have done it! I know I hurt you," He pushed Nine. "That girl was stupid anyway. Okay, forget that. That was lame. Just forget the girl. AGH! Listen, I know I was such a horrible person, but I-" One. "I regret that so much, and I really just need you to forgive me, because-" One. My heart beat was beating as fast as a humming bird's, and my mouth was flinging words at 100 miles per hour. "The whole point of me being here is to tell you that I hate not being around you! I've-" Send. With every button he pressed with just one finger, my words came out faster. Maybe I'd started to become incomprehensible. "Never felt this way about anyone before, and I need to tell you that I'm falling in love with you!"

I inhaled a huge breath, filling my lungs to their full extent. I'd never spoken so fast in my entire life. Joe's eyes widened as the person on the other end clearly stated, "9-1-1, what is your emergency?" "Um. Never mind, it's fine now." Joe said simply, and clicked the off button. "You're what?" he breathed, sort of, very exasperated. But he didn't say it like he was delighted, like I was sure he would have, had I told him a week before. There were other words hidden behind his tone. He'd said it as if it was one more thing that he'd have to cope with.
"I'm falling in love with you." I stated with more confidence. Now that the words had escaped my lips a second time, I was sure of it. "But we can't... I mean, you can't... I don't want to be with you, Nick," he sighed. The words stung, even though I already knew them to be true.
"Then can we at least be friends?" I tried a smile, covering the plea behind my eyes. It was so fake that it might as well have been plastic.
Joe ran his fingers in his hair, and looked over to me.
"No, Nick. God, I don't... I don't know. Maybe we should just not associate... I don't think I can be, um, friends..." Joe scratched his face awkwardly, and finally looked up at me with eyes that seemed so vulnerable. Kind of like puppy. I smiled softly, practically genuinely, before pouting slightly. This was the only way I would have the smallest portion of a chance. "Pwease? I sowwy, Joey. I'll be your bestest friend in the whole wide world."
Joe almost burst out laughing. He snorted a little, and the corners of a smile appeared on his face. He pursed his lips together, and I watched as the resentment literally dissolved like cotton candy.
"Only if you promise never to break down the door and tackle me like that again." Soon, my face reflected his, and I could feel the light behind my eyes as I brightened up. I was sure my heart might have burst.
"Only if you promise never to call the cops on me again." Joe laughed, and nodded his head.
"It's a deal."
"Yay!" I smiled involuntarily, running over to Joe to throw my arms around him. My hands automatically rested at his hips, and Joe didn't seem to hesitate to rest his hands behind my neck. Like magnets. We just... fit together. I pulled Joe closer, and squeezed him tightly. Not that he minded.
I pulled away, and gazed into his eyes, to find him mirroring me. Then Joe's gaze faltered, and I frowned when I realized what was wrong.
"Right," I said, pulling away completely, and stepping back. "Friends."
I extended my hand to Joe, and we awkwardly shook. "Friends," he sighed, silently agreeing to the mess we had just made. But even just the feeling of Joe's skin against my hand brought this odd tingling sensation that I could never explain. It wasn't the feeling you get when someone shocks you. It wasn't butterflies in your stomach when you get nervous. Every time I touch Joe's soft, silky skin, it's like we're making a connection. To put it into the simplest words, when I said I was falling in love with him, it wasn't just to get him to hang up the call.

Comment? Love you guys!
With Love, Carlie :D

Okay so maybe a long comment will make you post? Okay so starting from the first part on the very first sentance to this part on the very last sentace I was on the edge of my seat. Im amazingly okay with just friends. Them being just friends gives mre to the story and doesnt make them rush into stuff. I love that!!!! I hate it when in stories they make the people get together on the 3rd chapter and then without a second glance thier already saying "I love you". You took your time and that shows-

[ParaJonasLeafFan]

First paragraph=Suspense beyond comprehension! Seriously, I got a stomach ache because of it!

"It was so fake that it might as well have been plastic." Beautiful! I'm stealing it! :b

"...and I watched as the resentment literally dissolved like cotton candy." Perfect simile!

"Like magnets. We just... fit together." Astounding metaphor/simile as well.

And the rest goes on and on, especially ESPECIALLY the last paragraph!

Perfection! <3 Absolute perfection!
