We went Inside of BBQ and sat down. The waiter came and took down our drinks. Then brought them a minute later.

"Thanks for staying." I said. "Your a sister to me, ash. I wasn't going to let you stay there alone. A I knew your dad and stepmom wouldn't come." He Said.

"They didn't even call?" I asked. I knew they wouldn't come. but I would've thought they'd at least be concerned.

"No. I'm sorry. We called then and they said you'd be fine......you know, sometimes I think their jealous of you."

The waiter took our order and I turned back to Paul.

"Jealous!? Of me?!" I actually laughed. "Yea. Because they don't have a talent that their detected to. You do. You have passion for it and you won't let what anyone says stop you from skating. Because I know more than anything that tomorrow....you'll be at the skatepark, skating your ass of to recover from that accident."

I couldn't Help but smile. Why does he have to be so nice? "Thanks Paulnut. Your the best."

"I know."

***

So now, here I am beside Paul watching the snowboarders glide along the snow.

"Hey, where's Jacob?!" I yelled over the music and cheering crowd. "I don't know!" He yelled.

The person that was up just finished and bowed to the crowd. We were pretty close and it was a little windy, considering we were up north.

"NEXT UP IS JACOB CONNER!" The speakers blared through my ears but I quickly ignored it and cheered at hearing his name. He walked up the ladder to the top of the ramp thing that they skate on.

He got to the top and held his board. I could barley see his eyes through his helmet and the goggles on his forehead. Then his amazing brown hair shag in front of his eyes. He looked around the crowd and found me.

A smile grew on his face and he winked at me. I had to be blushing. I bit my lip and smiled back. Straightening my hat as I did so. He turned and did his thing.

He glided down the snow rap and went back up. He flipped multiple things in the air.

I never knew how much it actually resembled to skateboarding. It was practically EXACTLY like skateboarding, and I know I've said it before but except the fact of wheels and snow.

Once he was done at snowboarding the BEST I've ever seen anyone, he climbed down the ladder and I asked Paul if I could go to the restroom and he said yea. I knew he would follow me if I said I wanted to speak to Jacob.

So I went over to Jacob.

He was huddled in a group congratulating him.

Stop smiling. Stop blushing. Your embarrassing yourself.

Since when did I care what people thought about me so much?

Oh.......

By that time, I was already to him. His friends looked at me before smiling or winking then whispering to Jacob then leaving.

"Your great!" I said smiling. He was already smiling. "Thanks." He said. We both thought the same thing and shoved our hands in our pockets while looking at the ground. Yet our eyes wandered up to each other.

I bit my smiling lip. We stood like that a while before both of us looked up.

"Jacob." "Ash." We said it at the exact same time. I don't know if it's the fact the e said he liked me that made this conversation so weird or awkward. Or the fact I haven't told him I like him back.

He smiled before saying. "Can I ask you something?" I smiled and nodded.

He not his lip, I guess thinking if he should say it or not. He sighed. "Do you feel something-" "hey guys!" Paul yelled in my ear as he put his hands on my shoulders.

"Hey Paul." I said looking at him over my shoulder, then glancing back at Jacob. He had a fake smile on his face. "Hey." He said. He looked back at me. "I'll ask you later." He said before walking off.

I didn't even get the chance to follow him before Paul jumped in front of me. Smiling. "So hey, we going to my house now?" He asked. Shit. I forgot.

"Yea. Come on."

***

The whole time to his house and the first movie I couldn't stop thinking about what he was going to ask me.

Do you feel something?

What like.....between us? Feel something? I did feel something. But.....I really wasn't sure what. This guy was known for cheating. He was known as the bad guy.

And he's my sisters, bad boy.

Not mine. She'd kill me if he found out I was daring him. He was the only boy she HADN'T cheated on. I'm pretty sure he cheated on her though.

They had been together for at least a year. I wasn't about to step up and get with him right after they broke apart.

Unless......

No. I can't do that. I cant keep that a secret...... Can I?

"Ash?" Paul said resting his hand on my leg. "Yea?" I asked looking at him. "Are you distracted or something?" Yes.

"No." I lied. "Are you sure? We've watched two scary ass movies and you haven't even flinched once." I usually jump out of my skin and scream watching scary movies.

"Yea. I guess I'm just....tired." I wasn't anywhere near tired. Another lie.

"You want me I drive you home?" He asked. I stood and grabbed my phone. Noticing I had a missed message. But I didn't recognise the number.

"Yea. Thank you." I said. He smiled and stood. While grabbing his keys in the process. "Come on."

***

"Thanks again for driving me Paulnut." I said as we pulled in m driveway. "No problem. Now get some rest. I know I'll see you tomorrow morning at the skatepark." He said shoving my shoulder. Thank god it was my good one.

We smiled and I opened the door. "Yea. See ya tomorrow." I smiled again and shut the door.

I was almost to my door when he rolled down the window and yelled. "And you and Jacob better watch yourselves." Then drove off. I was smiling until I turned around and saw Abby standing there.

Shit.

She stood there on the porch with her arms crossed against her chest.

"You and Jacob huh? What were you doing this time, making out in the bar? You know that's all we used to do right? He's just using you."

Don't punch her ash. don't do it.

"I'm not going to say it again. I already told you there was nothing between us. I haven't had sex with him. And you know why? Because the way we communicate us through words. Not through sex."

She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Don't think you don't want to do it with him. all the girls want to. You can just tell by the way the look at him. It's the exact way I look at him. And he returns the look. So all I'm saying-" she stepped down off the porch and got in my face. "-is back off. He's mine." Then she went inside. Without letting me say another word.

Bitch.

I shook my head and bit my lip as I stomped up the porch stairs. Them up to my room. I sighed as I threw the duffel bag on my bed and just got in the shower.

I didn't even feel like getting my cloths. I just went inside and shut the door.

I was in the middle of the shower and I heard the same noise that I heard the night Jacob snuck in. Did he sneak in again?

I got out and wrapped a towel around myself. It went up right up to my thigh. And it wasn't a surprise when I walked I to my bedroom he was sitting right outside my window.
