Chapter 3

Life goes on-3

AJ walked as quickly as he could wishing that he’d catch her. as he got closer and closer, he heard sniffling from the pool side. when he got to the gate of the pool, he found kathy crying. he felt so bad inside that he didnt know what to do if he approached her. he wasnt thinking, so he walked in the gate. kathy heard the gate squeal and looked back and quickly dried her tears.

“hey there mind if i sit?” aj asked.

she said nothing to him. he sat down beside her in silence.

“kathy, i’m sorry for dissing u like that earlier, sorry for being an ass,”he said. she still said nothing to him.

“i understand if ur mad at me kathy, but u dont know the hell i went through in my past year and a half,” he explained.

“what hell AJ? enough hell that u made me the victim of ur anger?” kathy finally spoke.

“im sorry about that kathy, i really am,” he pleaded for forgiveness. she got up and sat at a bench, and he followed and sat next to her.

“u wanna know my hell?” he asked.

“yeah if u feel comfortable telling me about it,” she replied.

he went on explaining his past about him and jonifer and jonifers death. Kathy slowly hugged him to comfort him.

“i’m sorry to hear that AJ, i didnt know,” she said. both had blank faces on themselves.

“i’m scared to move on kathy, i don’t know what to do,” he cried on her shoulders.

“it’ll be ok aj, but for now ur just hurt, one day u’ll learn to get over it maybe tomorrow, or maybe weeks or maybe years from now, u just never know aj,” Kathy said as she brushed his tears away with her fingers.

the two didnt know that they’ve been out for about 2 hours or more. they were so caught up with eachother to worry about that. brian looked out the window to find the two sitting next to eachother, so he went to bed with no worries.

“kathy?”

“hmm?”

“im scared,”

“scared of what aj?”

“im scared that i cant move on, that im scared to move on because jonifer’s gone..”

“oh don’t be aj, dont be..it’s natural,” kathy sighed.

AJ sat there and wept on her shoulders for hours more. he was noticing how understanding she was and how attracted he was to her.

“no aj u cant do this u cant like another gurl it just cant happen!” he thought to himself.

At 5 in the morning, the two decided to head on back. The two stood up and faced eachother breathlessly. they were awfully close. Aj held her in his arms by her waist.

"no aj i don’t think u should hold me...ur just vulnerable right now, and i dont wanna be used as a rebound ok?” kathy said as she dropped his hands around from her waist.

“kathy ur not my rebound.....u attract me, personality wise and looks,” he said as he held her by the wrist.

“Aj no u dont ur just saying that because u know i like u,” she whispered back.

“i think i know what i’m doing..” he said as he pulled her closer and closer. he finally held her by the waist again and ran his fingers through her hair. he bent down slightly to kiss her on the lips. she ran her fingers back and fourth on the back of his neck. the two kissed passionately as the sun rised with no intentions of backing away from eachother. Finally the two backed away from one another and smiled. Kathy laid her head on his chest and the two hugged and watch the sunrise together.......... (soooo romantic huh thao? lol )
