One guy, is all it took.

Part 15 :

Part 15: Dad

The rest of the day went by smoothly, Tyler and I were back to how things were and I was glad. People did give us a confused look, and glares by girls, because just earlier it seemed as though we were enemies. But no matter what happens, we will always be friends. Although it hurts knowing that Tyler loves me and has to see me with Conner, there's just nothing I could do. Because in truth, I think I'm slowly falling for Conner. He makes it hard not to. I can’t help but feel a twinge of guilt, knowing that it’s is wrong to fall for Conner, when I'm supposed to wait for Josh. But truth be told, I'm just a teenage girl, with hormones and such. And with the way Conner is, he is slowly but surely taking my heart. I know that if this keeps up I'll be hurting Josh. But, it’s for the best, right? He is married to my mother and it is wrong to even be kissing him, let allow planning to be together. I don't want to hurt my mother like that, she doesn't deserve that.

After all, it was Josh's idea to be with Conner. It’s for the best. After I fall in love with Conner, Josh will be erased from my mind. And as much it will hurt, I will be happy. It’s the right choice. Conner cares for me and I care about him. If I could love Tyler, I would be with him, but I'm just not able to and it hurts to know that. Conner, I can tell that he can make me fall for him, he is becoming my knight in shining armor. He can change me, and help me be a better person. If I was to play Conner as Josh planned, then I would hurt Conner although he knows that this relationship isn't real. And truth be told, I don't want to hurt Conner, he is the better choice. Josh would just ruin my life. My mother will hate me, Tyler will feel betrayed if he even knew, and I would hurt someone who is showing me that love can be right.

When it comes to days like these, I wish I had my father here. He would be a lot of help with the guys. But sadly he is still off, working as he says. My father is a professional fighter, one of the best, and I love him to bits. When I found out that my parents were getting a divorce I was crushed, but I can understand why. My mother was constantly afraid of my father getting hurt and such, and he was always gone. It didn't help the marriage and they slowly drifted apart.

"Jessica" I hear Tyler, and look at him waving a hand in front of my face.

"Yeah, I spaced out" I laugh.

"I can see that" he chuckles.

 "Shut up" I shove him slightly as I gather my books, as everyone's going home.

"Oh Jessica, you’re so cute" he laughs," so we gunna hang? Or what? I miss you" he frowns and slings his arm over my shoulder.

I smile and just when I'm about to reply, I hear Conner, “Jessica" he says and looks at me and Tyler frowning. I feel Tyler tense up as he drops his arm.

"Maybe another time" he says in a cold tone and leaves.

Conner raises and eye brow at me and I smile up at him. "What are you doing here?"

"I just thought I would pick up my girlfriend, since she was having a rough day, but I can see it got better" he smiles, though his eyes hold a bit of sadness.

"Oh" I smile," we made up"

"That’s good" he smiles "need help?" he asks taking my books.

"Thanks"

"No problem" he smiles and leans down towards me. I laugh before I quickly peck him on the lips. He smiles down at me, before winding his other arm around my waist.

"So what do you want to do?" he asks opening the door for me.

"I have a lot of homework" I say once he's in.
