Piper and Jasper Fake Dating

Weird

Jasper's POV

I am sitting in a chair at our underground hide out in Distopia with Henry and Charlotte.

My phone rings and I pick it up, seeing that it's Piper. That's weird, she never calls me.

When she calls me Jazzy I remember our conversation from the day we dropped her off. I realized she wanted me to pretend to be her boyfriend.

"Well, babe," I said, catching the eye of Henry and Charlotte. "Tell that guy that you are definitely taken, and that he better back off," I said, trying to sound as tough as I can.

Henry and Charlotte just stare at me, watching this whole interaction.

"By the way, Henry and Charlotte are here with me," I figured Piper might want to know that.

"Okay. I'm pretty tired so, I'm gonna leave this party. Is it okay if I call you guys when I get back to my dorm?"

"Yeah. That's fine. Talk to you soon," and for good measure, I added, "I love you."

She paused for a second before saying it back and hanging up.

I sat back in my chair and faced Henry and Charlotte.

"Who was that?!" They ask at the same time.

I don't know what to say, but thankfully Piper calls me back, so I don't have to answer them quite yet.

"Hry Jasper," she says. "Are Henry and Charlotte still there? If so, can you put me on speaker, please?"

"Yeah. They're still here," I took the phone away from my ear and put it on speaker. "Okau, you're on speaker."

"Hey, guys," Piper said nervously.

Henry's eyes widened and he began to stand up. Charlotte had to hold him back.

"Piper," Henry said slowly. "Are you dating Jasper?"

"No!" She explained the situation to him.

"Okay, so you guys aren't dating." Henry said, letting out a relieved sigh.

"No." Piper and I said at the same time. We then said our goodbyes, and hung up.

"Hey, I'm gonna go down to the Cafe to eat dinner," Charlotte said.

"Okay, see you later." Henry said, while I just waved.

"Okay, we need to talk," Henry said, after Charlotte left.

"About what?" I asked, nervously.

"Oh, I don't know, mabey you're obvious crush on my sister."

"What?! Henry that's crazy." I said.

"Oh, is it?" He asked, rhetorically. I nodded. "Dude, I have a room right next to you. I know you've been calling each other at night."

Dang! I thought I was being quiet.

"Okay, look, man. I may have a teeny, tiny crush on her," I said holding up my thumb and pointer finger close together. "But it doesn't matter. She'd never like me back, and even if she did, nothing could happen. We're not even in the same country!"

Henry sighed and leaned towards me.

"Okay," he said. "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but I happened to overhear a conversation that Charlotte had with Piper a few days ago."

"Okay. And?" I ask, wondering why he's telling me this. "Charlotte and Piper talk frequently. They're kind of friends."

"Let me finish." Henry sighed again. "Piper told Charlotte that she has a crush on you."

I just stared at him with my mouth open.

He waved his hand in front of my face. "Hello? Earth to Jasper!"

I quickly snapped out of my trance-like state.

"Sorry, sorry. I'm back." I said. "Why are you telling me this? And you really just happened to overhear this conversation?" I asked, putting emphasis on "overhear."

"I'm telling you this because you're my best friend, and as weird as the thought of you and my sister is, I want you both to be happy. As for how I overheard the the situation, I might of kind of sort of been easdropping."

"Uh, why?" I asked.

He sighed. "The other day Charlotte and I almost kissed."

"What!!??" I asked a little too loudly.

"Shh! Keep it down!"

"Sorry."

"Anyway, I was hoping Charlotte would say something to Piper, so I could figure out how she feels about me."

"Wow." I said. "That's a lot to take in. But don't you think you should just talk to Charlotte about it?"

He gave me a pointed look. "Would you tell Piper that you have feelings for her without knowing how she felt?"

"No. But that's different!"

"How?" He asked.

"Because you and Charlotte have been best friends for ever. You tell each other everything. Piper hates me. Or at least she used to. Need I remind you how many you how many times she yelled at me, or forced me to do things for her?"

"Okay, you make a good point." Henry said.

"Besides even if Piper did like me, it probably wouldn't work. She's at college in Florida, and I'm here in Distopia. We're not even in the same country!"

"True. But you could always go long distance. There is an airport about an hour from Distopia. Or you could alway ask Awol to teleport you to Florida."

I sighed. "I don't know, man. You've given me a lot to think about. I think I'm gonna sleep on it."

"Okay. But you shouldn't wait too long. There are plenty more guys like the one who was hitting on her at the party. And remember, I'm here if you need to talk."

"Thanks, man."

I headed to my room, and layed on my bed. I have a lot to think about, and Henry was right. If I Wait too long, I might miss my chance with Piper. Mabey tommorow I will talk to Charlotte, and ask her for advice.
