Oh no Butterflies

Jaydens POV:

We stopped at a local bridge before we went back to my place and we threw tiny stones at the ducks. Don't ask.

TIME SKIP

We drove to my home. I caught her looking at me a few times. It's a shame what she went through. It must suck. I'm here for her. I like being a comfort person. I just wanna have a friend I can talk to.

We listened to the song Small Hands by the Artist Keaton Henson.

When we parked in my driveway I opened the door for her first and she thanked me.

We went upstairs and I turned on the tv after we practically flopped onto my bed.

I couldn't help but admire Carmen. How must one look so perfect. What? It's totally platonic. Is all I thought when she looked at me. "Hey Jayden, don't you find it funny that old woman thought we were girlfriends." She chuckled and looked down. I thought about it for a second. "Yeah that was funny." I laughed.

She looked into my eyes and there was silence. I was honestly intimidated. It was like a staring competition that lasted like 10 seconds. We basically died of laughter.

"This is awkward. I have nothing to talk about." I sighed. She traced circles on my hand with her fingertips and my face heated up.

I ignored it.

"We could talk about the fact I'm dropping out of the softball league ." Carmen said. I looked at her wide eyed. "W-what?!" I spoke up. She grabbed both my hands and looked at me. "I don't feel like playing anymore. Is that okay?" She questioned.

"Well I can't tell you what to do. That was just, shocking." I laid there in utter shock. "I'm throwing a small party with a couple kids from my team at my house. I really hope you can go. You're the only actual friend that'll be there. If you can make it I mean-" I cut her off. "I'll be there. Don't worry." I rolled my eyes. "Okay okay." She said. "I guess I have something to look forward to after school tomorrow." I say. "I guess so"

Carmen smiled and leaned into the pillow next to me. "We should get to bed. It's like.. 12:00." I stated cause I usually go to bed early. "This early? I usually go to bed at almost 4am but you do you." I just scoffed. "No really it's okay. I like laying in your arms." She said.

A/N: oh? That's kinda gay if you ask me.

I gave her a confused look and then she rolled her eyes at me and laid her head on my chest with her hand across my waist lazily.

It was kind of like a hug

A/N: I'm too lonely for this shit

I lay there in silence. Almost like if I breathe then I'll be embarrassing. Carmen isn't sleeping. She knows what she's doing. My face is practically a tomato and I'm so glad she can't see my face right now. Why do I feel like this?

But can you blame me? The one and only Carmen is laying in my arms and I'm basically frozen. Butterflies in my stomach. I put my hand hesitantly on her back and just looked up at the ceiling. Yeah I'm not getting any sleep tonight.

She's gotta be doing this on purpose..

A/N: Omfg Jayden pull yourself together. Have you not realized that you guys have been flirting for like 2 days now. Honestly do you not get the fact you probably have a crush. You've known her for like 14 years or so and you've "never" felt this way around her. Bullshit. You literally called her a goddess in the beginning of this wattpad.

Sorry this chapter is short.
