(A/N: despite how crimsyn and I have teamed up, this is a story that I, Ciani, have wrote on my own. I hope you guys enjoy it!)
-Jeremy's POV -
I can't believe I let the best thing that ever happened to my life walk our the front door -possibly forever.
I'm always to shy to say what's on my mind.
After all we've been through, I just can't say goodbye to her.
I love her. I should've told her that.
I wish I could build up the confidence to call her, but I'm Jeremy : the sweet, hungry, and shy one of the boyband Brisk.
I got to get Laila back, if it's the last thing I do!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
-Laila's POV -
I show up to work late on my very first day, quite a first impression, right?
"Are you Laila? " I hear a voice call out to me. I turn around to find the source of the voice. It's a woman, she's dressed in the same Target uniform as I am so I figure she's my manager.
"Yes! Hi! I'm so sorry I'm late! " I apologize.
"Its okay, just don't let it happen again! " The woman replies, her voice is reassuring.
"It won't! "
"Let me show you around. "
She shows me around the whole store and then assigns me to register 4. About 3 hours into my shift, a familiar face is next in line.
"Why are you here? " I ask, trying to sound annoyed.
"Its nice to see you, too, Laila. " Lynden, another member of Brisk says sarcastically. "You know, just because you and Jeremy broke up doesn't mean we can't still be friends, does it? " This time he sounds sincere.
"I guess not, but I don't need you distracting me on my first day!" I say.
"I'm your friend, that's what I do! " He laughs at his own remark and then his face turns serious."You know, Jeremy misses you."
"I don't care, we are over. We've been over for a week now. That's the longest we've been broken up and I'm doing pretty good. Why won't he come tell me himself anyway? " I allow my irritation to show through my facial expression and tone.
"He's too shy. You know that already! "
"Well if he really wants me, he'll get me on his own! "
"I'll tell him that."
"Whatever. " I say. "I'll be by the mansion later to finish moving my stuff. "
"Laila, don't do this."
"Lynden, you're holding up the line."
He sighs. "You're so stubborn. " Then he leaves.
I think I miss Jeremy, too. But I need someone who shows affection no matter who is around and Jeremy doesn't do that!
Plus, I'm doing pretty good without our up-and-down, on-and-off relationship!
I can still hang out with Lynden, though. We've become very close friends. I will continue my life, without Jeremy.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I get off of work at 9:30 pm. I go home to rest until I finally work up enough energy to go to the Brisk mansion. I still have my keys, so I walk right inside.
"Laila? " Symir's face lights up like a kid in the candy store, full of both confusion and excitement.
"Hey! " I greete him with a smile. Jeremy and I exchange awkward stares until I go upstairs to the room we once shared.
Jake, another member of Brisk, comes in shirtless. Even though I don't have feelings for him other than friendly ones, I melt a little inside at the sight of him.
"Moving back in? " He asks. He's more or less the mysterious one, so I can't read his face to tell if he's excited or not.
"No. I'm just collecting the rest of my stuff." I answer.
"You guys are seriously broken up this time? " This time I could hear the surprise in his tone.
"Yeah." I answer.
"I hope that we can still be friends, though. "
"Of course! "
Then, without any warning, I'm practically tackled by Nysir, another member of Brisk. If you have lost count, there are 5 members of Brisk : Lynden, Jeremy, Symir, Jake, and Nysir.
"You're back! " Nysir exclaims as he hugs me tight.
"No, I'm not. " I object as I release myself from the hug.
"Why? " He asks sadly.
"I'm done with Jeremy. "
"Sorry to hear that. Want to discuss it over dinner? "
"Definitely not."
He laughs. "Kidding! "
We all know that he's not kidding. I guess you can say that Nysir is the flirt of the group. I just laugh it off and continue packing.
::::::::::::::::::::::::
-Jeremy's POV-
"Jeremy, go talk to her! " Lynden urges me.
"No. I'm nervous! " I say.
"That's why she doesn't want you anymore, you're too shy! " He says.
"How do you know? " I ask.
"I talked to her. Now go up there or I'll drag you up there! "
"You won't drag me! " I say, trying to sound tough.
"Oh yeah? "
He grabs me by the collar and pulls me upstairs, stopping in front of my room.
Jake, Laila, and Nysir all stare at me.
"Jeremy wants to talk to you, Laila. " Lynden says, letting my collar go.
Laila raises her eyebrow.
"We'll let you guys talk." Jake says. Then he whisperes to me."Don't be shy! "
Then all the boys leave, leaving Laila and I all alone.
I gulp hard.
What should I say?
