Goodbye Doesn't Mean Forgetting

Goodbye Doesn't Mean Forgetting: Part 10

It was weird, when I was with JJ it didn't feel awkward. Every time he walked into a room I got butterflies in my tummy, it felt like we were meant to be together.

I walked downstairs to hear George playing his guitar and the boys jamming out to some sounds. They sounded amazing, I couldn't believe that this had happened, I knew they were going to go far. When they had finished I walked in applauding them.

"That was beautiful" I said with a smile on my face.

"You think so?" asked Josh.

"I know so" I replied

JJ coughed and signaled me to take the seat next to him so I did. The other boys started to laugh but I didn't get the joke. George began to hum the tune to love is in the air but then after a slap on the arm from Jaymi, he stopped.

"So how do you guys know each other then??" Jaymi asked.

We began to explain about our childhoods and about what happened and how I had to move. George was strumming on his guitar as he already knew the story. After a few more songs and a lot of laughs the boys decided to head up to bed but I wanted to catch up on the latest episode of Big Brother so I didn't bother. When the boys left, I put my feet up in the sofa, was about to turn the TV on and then a voice stopped me.

"JJ never stopped talking about you, you know"

"What do you mean?"

"Well he never really fell out of love with you"

"I never really fell out of love with him"

"WHAT?"

Had I gone too far?? It was too late now. Jaymi began to laugh and walked out of the room. I decided to leave him I trusted him and I knew he wouldn't say anything. After watching the television for around an hour, I decided to head up to bed. As I walked up the stairs and down the corridor I heard voices coming from the boys room. I put my ear near the door.

"But I love her, I never stopped" JJ said.

"Man, what's meant to be is meant to be" Josh replied.

"Yeah, Josh is right"

"But what if she's more interested in you George"

I wanted to run in and tell him, just tell him how I felt, but I knew that I couldn't. I continued to listen.

"We're friends, not lovers, she never stopped talking about you, and she never took that necklace off"

"Really??"

"Really"

"Tell her how you feel, before someone else does"

I heard footsteps coming towards the door so I ran as fast as I could into my bedroom. I shut the door, I couldn't believe what I had heard. Was JJ really talking about me? Was that the way he truly felt? What if....

 My thoughts were stopped by a knock on the door.

"Come in" I shouted.

Slowly, the door opened and JJ peeped his head behind the door.

"Hey" I said sweetly.

"Hey, erm...can I...can...can I talk to you?" He asked.

"Of course, you don't need to ask"

I moved up from the bottom of my bed and patted it, hinting to JJ that he should come and sit down. He gazed into my eyes and I gazed into his. They sparkled underneath the light, he was perfect. 

"What's the problem JJ??" I asked.

"Well erm, I was, I...I was wondering if you wanted to go for a coffee tomorrow"
