There Is Only Love

Chapter 6

TC's POV

I scrolled through what was on TV. Michelle was sitting on the couch and I was sitting on the love seat.

I saw Michelle look at me from my peripheral vision. "Teec." she quickly said. I put down the remote control but I didn't look her way. "Thomas Carter." I knew she meant business when she said my full name.

"What?!" I asked in defense.

"Are you gonna tell Bri what happened or not?" She said with an evil glare.

"What are you talking about?" I knew what she was talking about, but I didn't want to think about what I had done.

"You aren't going to go find her? Or even ask where she's at?" Michelle asked me.

"Well, I don't know." I picked up the remote again. "She won't answer even if I do call her."

"I don't know. She just might." She walked to me and sat down beside me. "I saw the look in her eyes when you kissed me. That wasn't just anger Teec." She paused. "Her heart broke." She put her hand on my shoulder. "You need to make things right."

"I know but-"

"But what TC?" She looked at me. "Do you care about her?"

"Well, yeah. Of course I do."

"Then tell her!" She said playfully pushing my shoulder.

I smiled at her. "Thank you Michelle."

"Anything for a friend." She smiled back at me. "But if she hurts you, we might have a problem." She laughed as she walked out of the front door.

"I highly doubt that." I laughed as well.

Michelle left and the guys walked in shortly after. "So, where'd Michelle go?" Blake asked walking inside with Andrea. "She didn't wanna say hi to me?" he laughed.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna call Bri." I looked at all of them and noticed someone was missing. "Where is Jayk?"

"Well," Ellie started. "He went off to find Bri, unlike someone who walked their happy ass over here and did nothing."

"Ellie..." Drew said calmly.

"What?!" Ellie snapped. "I don't like that my sister ran out of her own house crying for whatever the hell the reason was, and the guy she loves didn't even call to check and make sure she was okay. NO. He waits several hours!" I could tell Ellie was pretty heated.

"Ellie, how about we go to the room and cool you off..." Drew suggested.

"UGH!" Ellie snapped stomping her feet back to her and Drew's room.

"Im gonna-"

"Yes, please call her." Andrea said.

Andrea's POV

I walked to mine and Blake's bedroom with Blake following behind. "What in the world is going on?" I asked Blake as I sat down on our bed. "Where in the hell is Bri?"

Blake sat next to me on the bed and wrapped his hands around my cheeks. "I'm sure she's fine Andrea. Can you please calm down?" He kissed me trying to get my mind off Bridget. It worked, for a while.

. He laid me down on the bed. “Blake, are we really gonna do this now?” I asked smiling.

He smiled back at me. “Bridget is fine. Jayk is with her.” He said as he propped his head up lying next to me. “I’m just trying to get your mind off of things.” He said stroking my cheek.

“You’re right,” I said curling up next to him and ending up in his arms. I looked at the clock and realized it was already almost 4 in the morning. “Babe.” I said tapping Blake’s shoulder. “It’s already 4 in the morning.”

“I realize this,” he said as he began to laugh a little.

I felt his hand rub on my back and then stop. “Babe, don’t tease me... if you’re going to rub my back then do so, don’t just stop after two seconds.” I blushed.

“Okay,” he laughed as he began to rub my back.

I looked up at the ceiling and began to think about doing this every night with Blake, and waking up every morning right next to him. “Blake?” I questioned.

“Yeah?” he asked.

I hesitated and thought for a few seconds. “Never mind”

He eventually let his hand off my back and stood up to put on his clothes for bed. He lay back down next to me. “Goodnight babe.” He said before he kissed me and got under the covers.

“Goodnight.” I smiled with worry in my head. “Hope you’re okay Bri.” I laid my head comfortably on the pillow and fell asleep in my clothes.

 Bridget’s POV

I woke up the next day lying in bed staring at the ceiling feeling like complete shit. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and looked beside me. I saw Jayk… with no shirt… I stared at him and shook him to wake him up. “Jayk! What time is it?” I asked scrambling my hands around the sheets to find my phone.

“Looking for this?” Jayk laughed as he grabbed my phone from the night stand next to him. “It's 12, you feeling okay?” he asked touching my forehead. “You barely drank anything last night, how are you hungover?”

“Jayk?” I said nervously. “Did we?” I hesitated. “We didn’t, did we?”

“Well, do you not know what happened? Or is it a blur?” he asked.

“It’s a blur; I drank the whole fucking bottle of Gin before you came over. All I remember is you coming over and then I kissed you, but that’s all I remember.”

“Really?” he asked hesitantly. “That’s all you remember?” 

“Yep!” I shamefully giggled.

“Well, how about I just tell you everything else that happened.” He said. “Sound good?” He asked.

“Yes.” I replied.

“Okay,” He started. “Before I do, can you just tell me,” he laughed. “Where the hell are we?”

I laughed as much as I could without my head hurting. “It’s an extra house for me when I want to get away from shit like what happened last night. It’s like my own little sanctuary.”

“It looks like an abandoned house from the outside, but pretty nice inside.” He smiled.

“Thanks Jayk” I smiled at him too. “But anyways!”

“Okay, after you kissed me,” he looked at me. “We kind of made out.” He bit his lip. Ugh, why Jayk.?  I thought to myself. “Then you kept talking about how much you wanted to get back at Tc for what he did. Then you grabbed a big bottle of vodka.”

“oh shit.” I put my hands over my face in embarrassment.

“Then,” he began again. “Tc called you.”

I cleared my throat. “UM… WHAT.” I shouted.

“Yea, do you want to hear this part? You put it on speaker so I heard everything.” He hesitated. I knew he was holding something back, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to hear it or not.

“Um, sure…” I said as my heart began to pound.

“He asked if you were okay and you were quiet, so, he asked you again and you told him you were fine. Then he told you why he kissed Michelle, but I want you to talk to him about that part.”

“Are you kidding? Why?!” I shouted.

“I’m just going to let you talk to him when you see him next.”

“Jayk, really? That’s all you’re going to tell me?”

“I know you’ll make the right decision Bri.” He said leaning towards my face and holding my left cheek in the palm of his hand. I could tell there was a moment about to happen again, just as he began walking towards the front door with his keys.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?!” I asked as he headed to his car. “Jayk!” I yelled, but he wouldn’t answer. He hopped into his car and drove off.
