"We're Just Friends."

Guess who's coming to dinner

I wake up dreading what the day brings.

I muster up whatever energy I have left from the 4 hours of sleep I got last night. I continued to try to call Jace all night but he didn't answer. I don't have the courage to even think about calling Kyler, I don't even know what I'd say. I hate that I hurt him but I'm in love with Jace, and he's all I can think about. I'm just really confused and I need to figure some stuff out.

I don't even bother to shower as I throw on pair of skinny jeans and an old tank. I rush down stairs trying to avoid my parents but my dad stops me just as I opened the front door.
"Baylor, wait. You remember the dinners tonight right? He asks
"Yes dad, I remember." I replied annoyed
"Are you going to bring a date?" He asks with a small smirk on his face

"No, dad. I'm not. Can I go now please?" I turn back around.

"Well wait, I thought you were dating that nice blonde from school?" He says confused.

"Welp, dad a lot has changed since then." I replied as I walk out the door.

I go to school and notice that kyler skipped today. I'm kind of relieved but also worried. I barely get through the day. After school I muster up the courage to drive over to Jace's house.
When I get there I sit in the car for a total of two minutes. I get up to ring the doorbell and wait for him to answer. My heart is pounding in my chest. The door opens and a mysterious shirtless guy answers.
"Can I help you?" He say with a smile.

"I-I-I must have the w-wrong house." I stutter in shock thinking the worst and blinking back the tears.

"Well who were you looking for? " he says
"Um ....m-my grandpa, like I said. I have the wrong house." I turn around and power walk to my car. I pull off before he could even close the door fully. Tears are rushing out of my eyes as I drive home. What the hell was that ?! WHO the hell was that ?! How could he lie to me ?! He said he loved me.
I calm myself down by telling myself I was just thinking the worst. Maybe it was his cousin or something. I calm down enough to go in the house and get to my room. Hanging on my door is a suit , I'm guessing my dad put there for me for the dinner tonight. Great. So that's still happening. I was hoping he forgot or something. I know There's no way I can get out of this. I tried everything I could think of. I lay on my bed for about 45 minutes still attempting to get a hold of jace. Of course no answer though. I texted and called kyler once too but I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to talk to me, I'll give him his space.
I feel horrible , I just want to die.

"Baylor , are you dressed? the guests are on their way." My dad shouts from the bottom of the stairs .
Shit , 5:53 already.
I rush to throw the suit on that my dad had draped on my door.
Just then I hear the door bell ring and dad shouts my name again.
"I'm coming dad!" I yell back at him.
I go to the bathroom to check and see if my eyes are still puffy.
They are. Not as bad as before though.
I walk out of the bathroom and take a deep breath .
Time to put on a fake smile for dads rich friends.
As I walk down the first step I feel my stomach start turning...
It's all in my head I try to tell myself.
Every step got harder as I was attempting to perfect my "smile".
I finally make it to the bottom of the steps ...
One last deep breath for good luck.
As I walk throw the living room I can see five heads sitting at a big table.
As I walk closer I start to make out Bradley and dads faces as there seats were next to each other, mom was putting food in front of an older guy with slight grey hair, around my dads age , mabe 5 years older . He's no older than 45. As he turns his head towards me I see his face.
....who is he ? He looks really familiar.
He flashes me a gentle smile and mom and dad follow his gaze , then bradley.
My dad stands up an walks over to me .
"Mr. Mikaelson, this is my eldest son.... ,Baylor." my dad introduces me.
It's now my turn to flash that smile I've been working on , I smile as gently as I can . As dad says my name , the 5th head revealed itself ....

It can't be....
Why is this happening...

........................................It's Jace
