Forbidden Love (gxg)

Chapter 6

'Danielle Campbell is my perfect Blithe'

Blithe's POV

"M' sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything." Kate's confused voice interrupts the sudden wave of panic that's threatening to consume me. Jade looks towards the stairs where Kate is, posture stiff and unsure. An action that is completely new in itself, to see from someone that is always so sure of herself.

"There was nothing to interrupt, I was just helping Jade out with something." I mutter trying to distance myself. God knows I wasn't ready to face anything in this state.

Kate gives and unconvinced 'uhuh' and stares at me with a blank face. My cheeks flush as I walk over to her, shoulders hunched and head held low.

Jade makes an incoherent noise from the back of her throat but doesn't move otherwise.

I clear my throat and try to keep my voice from wavering as I speak "I was actually looking for you, wanted to ask if you could give me a ride home?" She gives me a questioning look but nods anyways.

"I'll see you later Jade." I mumble as me and Kate head towards the front door. Completely missing the heartbroken look Jade gives me as I walk away.

Jade's POV

When I wake up, I wake up with a massive headache and a foul taste in my mouth. The room is relatively dark except for a stream of sunlight shining directly on my face. I figure that's the reason I woke up at 6:00 am, I read as I check my alarm clock. I turn and bury my head in my pillow, groaning from the throbbing pain in my head. 

I have a brief thought about tweeting #TheHangoverFromHell in my sleep like daze.

I roll in my bed for a while until its obvious that I'm not going back to sleep any time soon. I get out of bed  minutes later and make my way to the bathroom attached to my room. I grab some Advil and pop three in my mouth and drink from the fosset, to lazy to get a glass from the kitchen.

When I look up,  it's only to see my disheveled appearance and the purple bags under my eyes.

I mentally curse the beautiful people that wake up looking like models.

I slip off the clothes I'm wearing, making a face at the smell that wafts off them. I get in the shower after I make sure the temperature is just right. The warm water runs down my body, soothing my sore muscles, the throbbing in the back of my head not wavering. I lay my head on the wall and sigh, letting the water run down my back.

Flashes of last night, of the party and Blithe run through my mind. Of how breath taking Blithe was in her dress, at how jealous I felt when my stupid brother Alex and Blithe started flirting, as if I wasn't just a couple of feet away.

I remember the feeling of Blithe's mouth under mine. How desperately she responded to my touch.

I subconsciously touch my lips just thinking about how sinful she looked last night. How her mouth felt on my skin and how she gasped out my name.

But I also remember how she pushed me away and left with her friend Kate. How my chest gave an odd pang seeing her walk away with her.

A mantra of 'I was just drunk' runs through my mind, as force myself to forget about it. I wash off and get out of the shower, grab a towel and dry off. When I open the door, I look up only to see Alice sitting cross legged on my bed. She gives me a wide grin but doesn't look as if she's going anywhere soon.

"Hey." I say as I walk over to my closet and take out some clothes. I finally decide on some sweats and a tank top. I grab a bra and some underwear from the drawers and start getting dressed, very aware of Alice's eyes on me. I turn and give her a look.

"What? It's nothing I haven't seen already." She says with a smirk on her lips, her eyebrows wagging exaggeratedly. I scoff and throw my towel at her face, she giggles and I roll my eyes.

"So how was the party yesterday?"

My whole body goes stiff but she doesn't notice or chooses to ignore it as she goes on "Stephanie said it was the bomb. 's too bad I had a test to study for and couldn't go-"

By the time she was finished talking, I had gone through last nights kiss a hundred times. So much for the 'not going to think about it' part. I had never cared about who I kissed or had sex with, if I liked someone, I liked them.

Simple as that.

I have never gotten hung up on anyone, not really. But blithe, with her its different. She's not just some nameless snog, she's my best friend. Things with her never come easy, she's stubborn and hot headed at times but that's the thing I like about her the most-

"Jade! Earth to Jade!" Alice's voice cuts through my thoughts, snapping me out of my daze. She gives me a questioning look, hand still waving comically in front of my face.

"I think-"

"What?"

" I think I like, have a crush on Blithe. Like maybe, possibly." I say in quick succession.
