Comes From The Heart

Chapter 7~ Picnic and... Love?

I grabbed my skateboard and glided down the streets with my headphones locked to my ears. One of my favourite songs was playing. Change your life by Little Mix. I may not be that interested in bands and everything but my passion for music is extraordinary. I've learnt to play my first instrument, the guitar, when I was 4. That's when my love fr music grew and grew.

I arrived at the park near the stream and saw Jai on.. A mat? The mat was laid with all sorts of food. Where were the other guys?

"Oh Ally! You're here!" He squealed as he got up and ran straight to me.

"Jai. What's going on? Where are the other guys?" I asked as I brushed my fringe away from my face.

"Oh... Uh... Yeah... They couldn't make it today... "

"Then who are you going picnic with? Yourself?"

"Um... I was gonna. But since you're here how would you like to join me?"

"Um... Okay..."

We sat on the mat and Jai nervously gulped as he handed me a plastic plate. What is wrong with that boy? It's only me!

"You okay Jai?" I asked concernly. He nodded his head as he passed me a plate of sandwiches. I shrugged my shoulders and took the plate.

~~~a few hours later~~~

"And Luke flipped out!" Jai chuckled. We burst out laughing as Jai told me a story on how he pissed Luke off. I've never laughed that much in years. Being together with my old best friend makes me remind of the memories we had.

Then, all noise came to a stop. The situation was now much more quiet as we stared into each others eyes. I just missed the times when Jai, Luke and I spent times together and whenever Luke and I kissed, Jai would make grossed out faces. And whenever Luke left us alone, we would pull a prank on him when he returns. After Luke and I broke up, the, not three of us but, six of us, James, Daniel, Beau, Jai, Luke and I, got distant. And before you know it, we were like strangers to one another.

"Ally, can I tell you something?" He broke the silence.

I snapped out of my thoughts as I looked into his eyes. The distance between us were kind of narrow. Okay very narrow. A strange feeling struck me. Yet, I nodded my head.

"I'm in love with a girl"

"Well, durh. How can you be in love with a guy? Unless you're gay! Oh! Omg! Are you?" I leaned back a bit putting my hand over my mouth. Great time to spoil the moment.

"You just know when to joke huh?" He chuckled as he leaned closer to me, closing the gap between as as he whispered into my ear, " Im in love with.."

He didn't finish his sentence. He couldn't. Luke came into the picture.

"Umm.. Hi guys." He spoke.

Both of us jumped back. Luke was right behind us.

"Omg Luke. Way to scare us huh?" I questioned as he sat between us.

"Sorry Im late. The other guys couldn't make it." He started unpacking the stuff he brought in his haversack.

Then, my phone beeped.

'Hey babe! You just missed the most amazing guy ever! He's so charming and good-looking! Btw, you left your wallet at Libby's. I got. Come over to my house to collect it ;))))) -Jade'

Well that escalated quickly...

I turned to face the both of them. "Sorry guys. Gotta go. I'll meet you guys soon okay? Maybe we can do this again some other time" I waved them goodbye and left. Though, I really wanted to know whos Jai in love with. I want to play matchmaker. If you know what I mean.
