31 Little Confession (1/2)

.

.

Jace sat in his truck just listening to the heavy rain fall. He saw Simon's old car trudging down the road. Why would he try to drive in the damn storm?! In that pile of heap of a car too.

Jace started his truck and decided to follow him in case his car broke down. Besides that gives him more time to waste instead of going home to his over bearing mother. He followed a little ways behind Simon. The slow old car was almost getting blown over by the high winds.

Suddenly Simon's breaks squealed as he came to a halt in the middle of the deserted street. What the hell?! Jace pulled over to see what stopped Simon like that. Maybe it was an animal in the road.

Jace turned up his wipers so he could see more clearly what was going on. Through the windshield he saw the outline of a body standing in front of Simons car. From the shape and tiny shorts he knew it was a woman. Her long wet hair clung to her slender shapely body. Jace couldn't see her face with all the rain but he briefly wondered who this girl is.

Simon jumped from his car and stomped to the girl. The pair immediately began arguing. Jace practically had his head pressed against the window. Yet he still couldn't hear a word they were saying with the loud rain. So he just continued to watch.

The arguing stopped and they just stood all soaked staring at each other. Is this the girl Simon was ranting about earlier?

Out of nowhere Simon dropped to the ground. Jace didn't see the girl touch him so he assumed Simon fainted. Jace hurriedly pushed opened his door and ran to his friend. The rain instantly soaked his clothes but he didn't care. In a second he was on the ground clutching an unconscious Simon. Jace felt for a pulse and breathed a sigh of relief when he felt a steady one

”What happened?!” Jace shouted over the rain.

When he looked up to question the girl she was gone.

He whipped his head in every direction.

No sight of her anywhere.

How on earth did she disappear so fast?

No way! No flipping way!

I had just finished listening to Jace and Simon's conversation at the park. I couldn't wrap my mind around them two actually being friends. I mean Jace never spoke to us before what could have changed that. Maybe it was just me he never wanted to talk to and Simon was ignored simply because he was my friend. But Simon always had my back he wouldn't become friends with Jace if that were true. Then how did this happen? Better yet what could they even have in common?

I raked my brain as I slowly began walking down the road. I could hear the thunder crack in the darkening sky. I know I heard Jace say he missed me. No that's not right, I must have heard wrong.

A single raindrop hit me on the head. I stopped walking and lifted my head to the sky. Hundreds of drops began to pour onto me. I didn't care. I always liked the rain for some reason. Like an idiot I stood in the middle of the street soaking up the rain trying to ease my raging mind.

The sound of screeching tires brought my attention to the present moment. Simon's ugly car halted less than a foot away from me. I didn't even budge. He got out of the car and I could tell by his pace he was pissed

”Really?! It's you that I almost just killed” he shouted throwing his hands up exasperated

”Calm down Sy-fi you wouldn't have killed me geez” I say back just as exhausted.
