Comfort Me

[Emily]

Thanks guys! ^_^
Ch. 7-Jack vs. Kai
“Wrap this please.” I asked Jeff. “10 gold pieces, please.” Jeff said. I handed him money that Rick had given me. “Thank you.” I said, running off.
I started walking down the road, and the black-haired girl called to me. “Blossom! Blossom!” She called. “Everyone’s at the beach! Can I come with you?”
“Sure,” I said. “If you tell me your name.”
“My name is Mary.” Mary said. “And the beach is that way.” She pointed. We turned into the beach, and we saw a crowd gathered.
“Let’s see what’s happening!” Mary squealed. I nodded, and we pushed through the crowd. Kai and Grey were fighting. Kai won.
Kai yelled. “I AM THE WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT!!!!” He looked around the crowd. “I shall pick my prize.” He eyes came over me. Oh no.
He walked over and grabbed my arm. “This girl is mine!” He yelled. The crowd yelled. I tried to yank away. He held tight.
“Stop!” I screamed. “I love Rick! Not you! Rick!” Kai looked at me, enraged. A hush came over the crowd. “Stop.” He said flatly. I shook my head. “I love Rick.” I said. Kai let go of my arm, and suddenly struck me with all his might. I screamed in pain. “Rick! I love Rick!” I kept yelling. He struck me, kicked me, and then slapped my cheek. “Is the nonsense out of you now?” He yelled. “Rick is not for you! Is it out?” I sobbed. “I never should have stayed!” I screamed.
“STOP!!” Someone yelled. Jack ran over to me. He lifted my head up gently. Kai cam and kicked Jack in the face. Jack turned away, cupping his bleeding nose.
“You!” Jack stood up. I sat up, holding my head, just in time to see Jack throwing Kai to the ground. Jack looked back at me, smiled, then turned around and got punched.
“She’s mine!” Kai yelled.
“Is not!” Jack hollered, with a kick.
“Is too!” Kai shouted, returning the kick.
“She’s mine!” Jack cried, striking Kai again.
The battle continued. Finally, bruised, Jack knocked Kai down. The crowd and I cheered. Jack, smiling triumphantly, returned to me, and I kissed him on the cheek. My comforter. Then I turned my head and saw Rick storming from the scene.

Ch. 8-Fight
“Rick!” I yelled, pushing Jack away. I stood up. “Rick!” I hollered. Jack stood up. “Blossom,” He said, grabbing my hand. I ignored him. Yanking my arm away and picking up the corners of my dress, I hurried after Rick. “Rick!” I cried again. “Come back!”
I ran as fast as I could. Rick reached the Poultry Farm before I did, and he stormed inside. I ran in. Lillia looked at me, and she pointed upstairs. I nodded at her. “Thanks.” I whispered.
I burst into our room. “Rick…” I said. “What-” Rick turned his back to me. I grabbed his shoulder and turned him around. “Rick.” I said sharply. “What is the matter?”
“Well,” Rick said sarcastically, “Other than seeing my girlfriend making out with the farmer on my birthday, I would say I’m great, but that can’t happen.” He scowled, and turned up his face.
“Rick,” I rolled my eyes. “He saved me from Kai, and I just kissed him on the cheek.”
“What’s the difference? Either way, I don’t like you.”
“Actually, there’s a huge difference.” I said.
“Difference, schmifference. I was going to save you.”
“You didn’t get there in time. He was there already.”
Rick stopped. He looked at me. “If you want to make up,” He said. “You have to do this.” He started kissing me, and I pulled away. He turned furious.
“See! There you go. You probably never loved me. I shouldn’t have saved you. Then all these problems would be over. Go back and kiss Jack. Move in with him. I don’t want you here.” I gasped.
“Rick!” I cried. “Why-I love you-”
“You have a funny way of showing it. I hate you.”
“But Rick-I have something for you-”
“There is nothing you could give me that could make me feel better or worse! But what is it?”
“It’s a birthday present.” I said tearfully, and pushed the gift into his hands, bursting into tears.

Ch. 9-Who is Comfort?
I ran down the stairs.
Tears streamed down my cheeks. ‘I need to see Jack,’ I thought. I ran to his house, knocked, and the door opened to Cliff.
“Cliff!” I said, jumping back in surprise. He laughed. “Came to see Jack, eh?” He asked. “JACK!” He yelled. “YOU HAVE A VISTOR! A CUTE ONE!”
Jack came to the door, and smiled. “Hey Bloss.” He said. “I’m having a party. Come in!” He grabbed my hand and led me inside. “Hey Blossom.” Grey said, scooting closer. Jack chuckled. “Back off buddy, she’s mine.” He said.
“Aww.” Grey said, laughing. “Who wants something to eat?” Jack called. Everyone nodded. I shook my head. Not exactly what you call comfort.
Jack stood up and walked to the kitchen. I looked around. He had everything. Big bed, kitchen, vase, it was almost like… ‘No’ I shivered as I told myself. ‘He is not planning to marry you yet. But-’ a knock interrupted my thoughts.
“Who is it?” Jack said, frowning as he mixed cookie dough. Grey opened the door. “Go away, Rick.” He said, closing the door. Rick stopped the door with his foot.
“Blossom, where is she?” Rick asked. “None of your beeswax, bub.” Kai said. “I can’t blame ‘er leaving your ugly face.”
“He’s not ugly!” I cried. “He has the sweetest, kindest face I’ve ever seen!” “Be quiet for a moment.” Jack hissed.
“Blossom!” Rick said, “I love you, I never hated you!” The door slammed, and Grey returned after locking the door.
I cried. I loved Jack, but I loved Rick too! Who was my real comforter? I needed to decide to whom I belonged, or I might be in trouble.

Emily...this is an awesome story! I absolutely love it! It's so cool! Her and Rick make a good couple...but I bet she would make a good couple with Jack too.

Jack and all his buffness.

[melody]

I actually had a dream last night with Rick in it because of this story.

#lmfao# Don't ask me why.

[pendulous threads]

I had a dream with all the HM guys and me in it once. There was also a gorilla...because of a comercial on television.

Ch. 10-Decision lost, trouble found.
“I have to go.” I told Jack. He nodded. “Ok Bloss, but stay away from Rick.” He said. I turned to the door, opened it, and slammed it behind me.
I sighed as I started walking. Deciding between them was going to be so complicated. They both had good and bad points. But who to pick?
I sat on the bench. “It is a beautiful day.” I said. “Just look at that sunset!” Karen, coming out of the supermarket, agreed. She sat next to me.
“Boyfriend problems, huh?” Karen laughed when she saw my face. I nodded, grinning. It was funny. “Jack or Rick.” I told her. She face became serious. “Tough choice.” She agreed. “Well, gotta go, see you!” She hopped up, and went back into the supermarket.
“Blossom!” Someone cried. I looked up to Rick. “Blossom, I’m so sorry!” Rick cried, giving me a hug. “I was just angry, I am so sorry.” I smiled at him and clutched his hands. “It’s five.” Rick noticed. “What an eventful day. I’ll come pick you up at six.” He said. He pushed a flower into my hands and left, smiling.
I twiddled the flower in my hand, beaming. Maybe Rick was the right choice. But- A voice interrupted my thoughts.
“Blossom!” Someone cried. I looked up to Jack. “Blossom! I was worried!” Jack cried, giving me a hug. “I hoped you weren’t with Rick!” I smiled nervously.
“It’s five-thirty.” He said. “I’ll pick you up at seven.” He pecked on the cheek, pushed a flower in my hands, and left, beaming.
I pushed both flowers into my pocket. Great. Who was I supposed to pick up by?
I saw Rick walking this way. Too late.
“Hey Blossom.” Rick said, smiling genuine. I knew he expected me to pick him. “Well? Have you decided?” He asked. “Yes, I have! I-” I stopped myself.
“Who? What?”
“Never mind.” I murmured. I had the answer, but I lost it.
“Look, there’s Van.” Rick said, indicating a man who looked familiar somehow. I
nodded, trying to figure out where I had seen him.
“He sells amazing things, and he’s unbelievably rich.” Rick added. I nodded.
A bolt of realization and fear went through me. I had figured out who he was.
Master.

Van!? Oh my! The secret is revealed! *Covers mouth* Wow...great twist Emily. This is awesome!
