He was very tall, 6'2" to be exact, skinny, toned body, black hair, piercing blue eyes with flecks of gold, and yet another smile to make a girls knees buckle. He wore a black shirt with a pocket on his left breast. Khaki dockers and a pair of black vans. He was so good looking and cool. She barely noticed him at first. She glanced at him thought he was hot then immediately wrote him off as being way out of her league. She hadn't planned on going to the pool hall that night she was only going out to get a subway sandwich but her friends talked her into it on a Tuesday night. They were only going there to meet up with one of her friends, friend. Someone she had never met. This friend of a friend seemed nice a little whoreish but nice her name was Chastity. Obviously her name didn't properly describe her. Nonetheless she invited Jade and her friends over to a house she was watching while the owners were out of town. They accepted and Jade and her friends along with her new friend Chastity left to get beer and wine coolers. Chastity's "responsible" mother was buying. After scoring the beer they drove back to the pool hall to get Chastity's other friend Nikki. Jade offered to go get her. So she ran in and out and off they went. Remember, Jade had only planned to go out for food and return home. So she wore jeans, a t-shirt and an army green baseball cap. Which of course couldn't really hide her beautiful long hair.
After getting to their "party" house. Before Jade got out of her friends jeep she noticed that another car had pulled in behind them. She watched to see who was going to get out of the car. Low and behold it was the hot stranger from the pool hall. Little did Jade know the handsome stranger was friends with Chastity. Jade was excited that he was there and commented to her friends about it. Not because she thought she had a chance in hell but because she just wanted to enjoy the scenery and let her friends know how much she truly was. After her brief drool session they all got out of the jeep laughing at her. When they entered the house Chastity introduced her hot friend to the rest of them. Jasper, his name was Jasper and it fit him so well. They all sat at the kitchen table cracked open a few beers and talked. Since Jades friends knew that she had the hots for the tall stranger they made it so she had to sit next to him. He sat at the head of the table facing the door she sat to his right facing the kitchen. Jade is a smoker so she was yearning for a smoke after about an hour but resisted because no one that gorgeous could possibly be a smoker. Rule of thumb none smokers don't like those that do. (Yes that's right she was a 16 year old smoker don't act so shocked) Chastity got up from the table and announced that she was going to go to the other room to smoke. Jade thinking "screw it he's out of my league anyway" decided to follow and since she was out of smokes she asked Chastity if she could bum one. Chastity said of course. Then what do we have here Jasper follows and lights up. She couldn't believe it she was so relieved to know he also smoked. After they finished smoking Jasper lit up another and she did as well. Not because she really needed or even wanted another one but it was her only excuse to be able to hang out with him alone. See when Chastity finished her's she went back to the rest of the group. But Jasper and Jade sat in that room and talked for hours. They talked so long that it was close to her midnight curfew. Jades friend entered the room and said he was too drunk to drive and asked Jasper if he could take her home. He hadn't had more than a wine cooler so he agreed. Jade's heart pounded with excitement but held back from showing it.
The car ride home was awkward and silent. They went from talking for hours to complete silence. They were both so nervous that neither of them knew what to say. They pull into her driveway and she thanks him for the ride. On the exterior she is calm, cool and collected but on the inside her heart is pounding violently her stomach has so many butter flies she thinks it's going to explode with little wings and legs. She sweetly says "I would like to give you my number if that's okay" Jasper quickly turns on the over head light and says absolutely and starts frantically looking for a piece of paper and something to write with. Neither of them had a cell phone. He hunts and comes up empty he nervously laughs and says you know for being an artist you'd think I would have at least a pencil. Jade laughs at his joke. Finally he finds a pen and hands it to her. She writes down her number and hands it to him. She turns toward the passenger door and opens it steps one foot out the door turns over her shoulder and says "don't be shy gimme a call" then winks. She get's out of the car shuts the door and walks to her front door without ever turning around. The coolest and smooth she has EVER been. As soon as she entered her house she shut the door and puts her back up against it letting out a squeal and a giggle she slides down the door landing her butt on the ground. Her mother was down stairs at the time and came to see what the ruckus was all about. She says "mom I just met the hottest coolest guy and he drove me home." Her mother laughed and said "Well good for you honey." Jade proceeded to go downstairs with her mother to tell her all the juicy details. The next day Jade went to school as usual. When she got home her mother told her that Jasper had called two times. Once when school was letting out and again at the EXACT time her mother had told him she would be home. Jade jumped and screamed with excitement and ran to the phone to call him back. He asked her out on a date for that night. She couldn't believe it. He was so out of her league how could this be happening to her. Plus she looked so blah when she met him I mean really a baseball cap and no make up to say the least. I mean she had good skin but come on this guy was super model hot. So she decided that for their date she would be puttin on the Ritz. She curled her hair and did her make up and put on a saucy little outfit (age appropriate of course) Oh and did I mention Jasper was 19? I know, I know what's with all the older guys trying to date this 16 year old girl. But like I said last time, she did look and carry herself older.
Jasper arrived at her house to pick her up as scheduled yellow roses in hand and all. Her mother opened the door and invited him in then went upstairs to get Jade. When Jade came around the corner and stood at the top of the stairs staring down at him she smiled as he pulled the flowers from behind his back. After putting the flowers in the kitchen the two left for the evening. The date was typical for a first one. Dinner, movie and of course the knock your socks off kiss at the end. She was no longer a virgin but isn't the type to give it up on the first date.
He admitted to her that he had been invited to Chastity's house that night but originally had declined. He told her that when she first walked into the pool hall she immediately caught his eye. Then after seeing her talk to his friend Chastity he asked if she would be going to the house too. When Chastity told him yes he said "Then I'm going to." He also admitted to her that he was holding back from lighting a cigarette too thinking that she wasn't a smoker and wouldn't be interested if she knew that he was.
After that first meeting the pair were attached at the hip. He picked her up every day after she got out of school and they would spend the evenings together before dropping her back off at home just in time for curfew. They spent every possible second together. He was no longer in school, obviously, but had joined the Airforce and would be leaving for boot camp in 4 months. Just after New Years. The two of them were so completely in
As the month went on his comment began to eat at her. So she decided to do something about it and get on birth control. So she scheduled an appointment with the free clinic. When she got there they told her that they would have to do a pap and a pregnancy test before they could give her birth control. No biggy she thought to herself. The nurse gave her a pregnancy test and she went into the bathroom and did as she was told. Then walked back into the exam room and waited for the nurse to return. A few minutes later the nurse came in went into the bathroom to retrieve the test looked at it for a moment and said "I'll be right back I'm having a hard time reading it because of the light." Jade paid no attention and kept waiting. About 10 minutes later the nurse came in and said the two fatal words no 16 year old girl ever wanted to hear. "Your pregnant" ........
