Crushed - Jacob Tremblay X Reader [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9 - Admitting It

You and Jacob are enjoying the day. So far, you've played Risk, Monopoly, and Apples to Apples. But the mood between the two of you is tense. You decide to make a move soon. 

Lunch is served later. Pancakes, bacon and eggs is all you could ask for in a lunch. Compared to the usual sandwiches your parents pack you, it's like heaven in your mouth. Jacob sits next to, talking to a boy next to him about movies. 

"Hey," You say, poking Jacob's shoulder. He turns around, motioning for his friend to wait a minute. "Can we talk?" you ask, looking around the cafeteria. 

"Sure." he says. "I'm all ears." 

You look him in the eye. "Alone? In private?". Jacob looks around, unsure. 

"After lunch okay?" he says.  You nod in a agreement, as Jacob goes back to talking with his friend. You sigh. How long will it take for you to tell him? You finish your pancakes, miserable with your precious secret. 

All you want to do is get it out and over with. Once it's off your mind, you'll be able to think freely again. So, after lunch, you make a quick excuse to the teacher in charge of you. 

"I really need to go to the bathroom." You say. 

The teacher sighs. "Well, have somebody go with you." she says. "Jacob? Why don't you take Y/N with you to the bathroom. I know you had to go earlier." 

Jacob nods, and the two of you head to the bathroom. But instead of going inside, you go right into an empty classroom beside it. Jacob looks at you questioningly, but doesn't ask. 

"Okay." You say. You have no idea how you're going to pull this off, but you lead out a shaky breath. But before you can get the words out, your head starts to spin, making you very dizzy. Stupid nerves. 

"You okay?" Jacob asks. "You look a bit pale."

You nod your head yes. "I just . . . need to go to the bathroom first." 

You stumble over to the bathroom. You splash some water onto your face, and rub your eyes. Then you give yourself an idea of how you're going to say it. Then you head back to the classroom, where Jacob is already waiting. 

"Okay," You try. Nope. Your stomach butterflies around so much you get dizzy again. But you slump into a chair, facing Jacob. 

He looks at you uncomfortably. Does he know what you're about to tell him? You ask yourself desperately. You really hope not. 

"Y/N?" Jacob asks. "Just get over it. You're making me really nervous."

You sigh. Taking in a confident breath, you blurt out. "I have a crush on you." Then you gasp and cover your mouth. Jacob looks terrified. His eyes are super wide, and look like they're going to roll out of his head. 

"That wasn't supposed to come out like that." You apologize. 

But slowly, Jacob moves to sit next to you. His frown turns into a smile. "To be honest, I do too." he says. You gaze into his eyes, the brown making you all dreamy. 

He tilts towards you. You bend your body, moving closer to him. You really had just admitted it. Admitted you had a crush on a celebrity. And he was about to kiss you.
