Same Mistakes - Jace Norman

Chapter 7

Updating again because I feel so bad for not updating for like a month. Ily all! 💘👊🏼

It's like 2 in this morning but oh well😂 I'm really bored and I'm having a twilight marathon😎👊🏼

--------------

I built up some courage to text Jace . Just once to see what he says.

Me: I miss you. I don't hate you at all. I was being so stupid. This wrecked our whole friendship. Please forgive me.

I stared at the text for a long time. Desperately hoping Jace would answer. I want to go hang out every day like we used to. Go for a stroll on the beach or go to the movies. I miss it all.

Hours go by and there's still no reply. I have my phone in my hand, just so I don't miss anything.

I watch "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" while I wait for a text back.

I watch Jacob connect with Bella. Jace and I have that kind of connection. A kind no one can understand. Nothing can break us.

*ding*

My heart jumps. Jace.

I see the text.

Jace: ok...

I stare at it in tears. Does he not want our friendship anymore? I don't understand.

Me: do you not want this friendship anymore..?

Jace: no. I do! It's just that you seemed like you would never forgive me last time we talked..

I sighed in relief. Thank the lord we're still friends.

Me: Jace. I was being a fucking retard. I was pissed at you for a day. I'm sorry for the way I acted but I miss you.

Jace: can I come over...

Me: it's 1 am. How are you gonna come?

Jace: I'll sneak out. Wait for me at your balcony.

And so I stepped outside into the breezy but warm air. It felt good to have my hair lightly moving around and to feel a slight chill on my bare skin.

Jace was at the top. We just stared at each other with no words.

*both in union* I'm sorry .

We bursted into laughter. I was glad my Jace was back.

I went into my room to go grab pillows and blankets to sit on outside.

"So, how's life been for you?" I asked.

"Tiring. Boring." Jace giggled. "I saw you tweet..."

It got silent for a moment. We listened to a crickets chirping for maybe over a minute before I broke the silence.

"Yeah.."

"Did you mean what you said?" Jace cautiously asked me.

"I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it."

We both stared at each other.

"Okay. So what are we then?"

"Jace, what do you mean?" He was making no sense. Or maybe I was just being dumb.

"Well. I wanna be more than just friends.."

I blinked. Am I dreaming?

"What?" I asked. I swear I heard something wrong.

"You know what I said."

It took me a lot of courage to say , but ," me too. I want to be more than friends."

I swear Jace was blushing even though I couldn't see his face in the dark night.

"Ok. I'm gonna head home now. Good night. I'll see you tomorrow."

Right then, Jace leaned in and kissed my cheek. Then he headed down my balcony.
