Decisions 13
When a cruel trick is played on Kim because of the way she looks she makes a decision. She's not going to be the odd one out anymore, and she's helped by an unexpected person. Can she do it?

"YOU'RE FANTASTIC!" Romeo shouted at me as I met him outside the school gates. He grinned, pulled me into a bone-breaking hug and then another heart-melting kiss. As he set me down I staggered forward and would've crashed into a lamppost but he grabbed my waist and dragged me back to him. I smiled as he grinned at me. I knew why he was so happy. He bent his head and as his lips touched my ear, I shivered.
"Do you know how much I love you!?" he whispered. I froze. Oh, my, god! I had forgotten all about the feelings thing. I relaxed my rigid muscles as much as I could and shook my head. No. I really didn't. He looked shocked. He obviously hadn't expected an answer. A smile crept up his face and his eyes sparkled with a mischievous twinkle. I was wary as he took my hand into his and pulled me after him, back into the school grounds. We stopped round the back, on the vast fields. He pushed me softly against the wall. We were just behind the science block, the windows were further up and the camera above was positioned to see the fields, not the wall. We were unseen, and it was a blooming good thing too.
Romeo pressed his full body length against mine - you wouldn't have been able to push a ruler between us. Of course I was breathing a bit heavily and he hadn't even touched me yet. He was staring at me, and there was so much love in his chameleon eyes that if I weren't so...intoxicated (which is the only word for it) I would've been crying. He kissed slowly down from my ear to my collarbone. Then he ran his hands slowly down my shoulders to my hips, where he traced little designs as he kissed me softly. My hair was standing on end and I was gonna melt. Only thing keeping me up was his waist because it was pressed so close to mine. My arms were hanging by my sides because I was so shocked, Romeo picked them up and slung them around his neck.
"I love you a lot" he whispered. I could only mummer vague acknowledges. He smirked as he moved back and brushed some hair out of my face. His eyes were flickering across my face and I could tell he was searching for something.
"Don't you love me?" he asked, in an even voice. My mouth opened and the 'yes' was out before I even realized. I widened my eyes in shock and stared at him. Had I really just said that? I hadn't even thought about it - it just came out. Did I love him? Did I really and truly love Romeo? With a small gasp I realized that I did. I really and truly loved him.
He was my Romeo. My match made in heaven. My Edward Cullen. My everything. I really and truly loved him! I realized that I must have decided this consciously. A week ago I was confused. But I think the Monday was when I realized it. Because,honestly,how could I not love him? He was perfect. He was gorgeous, intelligent, funny,cute, honest, good-hearted and lot more. He helped me when I most needed him and he was there. He made me laugh. He made me happy! I stared into his eyes and bit my lip.
"I love you" I whispered and on my tip-toes I pressed my lips to his and we kissed passionately for a looong while.
We walked to my house hand -in-hand and just talked. We talked about love. Mostly about his past-girlfriends. And I was wrapped in a bubble of love. And let me just tell you... it's.. .it's amazing. Nothing can get you. You can't concentrate on anything or anything except for the object of your love. We kept smiling at each other and I loved that. The only problem was, we almost got run over. We walked into the road and a massive Ford came screeching to a stop centimeters away from my left leg. Romeo blew a fuse. He screamed and cursed and almost punched the fat man behind the wheel, who was too scared to say anything or even get out the car. He was pale with fear. And it made me want to laugh. That anyone could be afraid of Romeo was amusing. He was my big, cuddly bear. That I just happened to make out with. I calmed him down and then we walked on.
As I opened the door, my mum came out of the living-room and watched us walked towards her. She was shocked, I could tell. Her eyes were huge and she stared at me.
"What-What have you done now?" was all she said. I sighed heavily and waved a hand towards my stomach.
"You mean about this? I got slim." She rolled her eyes to the heavens above.
"Whatever. Listen, you need to pack your suitcases, everything you own" she told me. I frowned, why?
"Why?"
"Because I'm," she stressed the I'm "Going on a cruise and I'm certainly not dragging you with me. And you can't possibly stay here, I'd get arrested. So you're going to stay with my sister in Paris".
There was silence. Then I realized what she was saying.
"WHAT?!" I screeched "For how long? No I can't do that."
"You're staying at Maggie's house in Paris for a whole year, and yes you will go. No ifs or buts about it" she said firmly. My vision swam as my eyes filled with salty tears.
"But...but I can't" I cried. She raised a perfect eyebrow.
"You will. Now go pack your things. Your leaving for the airport tomorrow morning." she turned on her heel and went back into the living-room. With a huge wail I turned and flung myself into Romeo's waiting arms.
"ROMEO!!!" I sobbed. He soothed and rubbed my back but I could tell he wasn't exactly thrilled about it either. Something about the way his voice was deathly quiet and his fists were clenched, told me.
I dragged him up to ny room and collapsed onto his lap on my bed.
"I can't believe she's doing to me! The bitch has always hated me since dad's death and now she's getting her revenge. The final nail in the coffin" I said bitterly. Romeo stroked my hair and I wrapped my arms round his waist, as if that could freeze time.
"Look." Romeo whispered in a shaky voice "It's only a year. You're coming back. We'll see each other again. Everything will be fine" I opened one eye and fixed on his face, it sounded like he was re-assuring himself more than me. Then I wailed again and buried my face into his chest.
It just wasn't fair! She was ruining my life! I just found out I'm in love, I'm slim, I have loads of friends and I got revenge. I was more than happy, I was fucking ecstatic! But then she had to go and be selfish. A fucking cruise! At this time of year?! Ughhhhhhhhh! The tears were coming faster now that I thought about leaving Romeo. I didn't want to be crying and wasting our last night together. It should be special. I sat up and he was staring at me, with a sad face. I rubbed under my eyes, where I knew my make-up had run and attempted a smile. Romeo looked worried. I gave up trying to smile and instead kissed him hard. He responded just as bad, as if he too knew we wouldn't see each other for a while. But when my hand reached for his belt, he pulled back and shook his head.
"What are you doing?" I practically screeched.
"I don't want this to be a rushed, quick thing. I want it to be romantic and...slow." he said, rubbing my lip with his thumb. I groaned.
"Now! you decided to act like a girl and think rationally?! I don't care whether we did it in a dungeon. This is probably the last time i'll ever be alone with you, and I want to have sex now!" I demanded. He smirked sadly.
"No. I love you Kim, and I want our first time to be special...for both of us" he murmured as he brushed his lips against mine. I rolled my eyes but stopped trying to grab his belt.
"But I really do want to" I whispered, embarrassed now.
"I know. And so do I. But it's only half four. There are hours left of the evening" as I gave him a look he added "And I promise we'll do it tonight" I grinned and flung my arms round his neck, but too violently I guess, because we toppled off the bed sideways. As we rose up we laughed. But then she walked through the door, dragging her dark soul in with her and dampened our spirits.
"Get packing!"she hissed and then stomped downstairs. I covered my eyes with my hand and sighed heavily.
"See you later" Romeo whispered, kissed me softly and then left. When he was gone I sat down on the floor and moaned into my arms. A minute later I raced into my bathroom and chucked my guts up. Great, I bet I had a stomach ulcer now from all the bloody stress. I suppose I'd better get packing, I thought as I wiped my mouth.
