Best Part

"Great, I'll Pick You Up After School"

Ok ik it's a long title but like just go with it? idfk also what did u guys think of the last chapter? Also, I made a tiny change, in the last chapter Jay said there are two people in front of him and Claire but to make the time pass normally I'm going to change the number to. And lastly, I decided to make this chapter full on Jay's POV so I'll probably make the next one Nathalia's POV only too.

|Jay Robinson|

All I feel is anger. It's clouding up inside me, how could she do this. Is it because of yesterday? I told her it was fucking okay, there was nothing to worry about. I just wish she would've shown up.

All my thoughts keep racing through my head, my brain only allowing each thought a second to pass by. I feel so embarrassed but mostly angry, angry at myself for thinking she would show up and angry at her for letting me know last minute. 

I keep walking with my head down, nothing I can do so I'll just have to deal with it, although I wish I got Nathalia's number or something. Wouldn't mind getting to know her, plus not excusing the fact that she's pretty too. This room is pretty big and I'm walking pretty slow, hoping I can slow things down before I have to tell Mr. Adams I can't do the open mic.

Then suddenly I feel a small hand grip around my wrist, stopping me in my tracks. I turn around and there she is holding on to my wrist, her head is down. 

Why? She just stood there in silence, never letting go, then finally.

"The show must go on, right?"

I am surprised and confused, what does she mean?

"W-what do you mean?" 

"I'll sing your duet with you, I understand how much this means to you and I couldn't just let you leave like that so... I'll do it with you," she says to me, there's a determination on her face, and then she smiles. I can't help but smile too.

"Wait but I'm sure you have your song to do, I wouldn't want to keep you from doing yours I mean you wrote it." 

"What no way! This is so much more important, plus I'll be singing and there will be others, I'd rather wait for the next one than watch you go home and not do something you love so much." She says, her eyes are glowing and I don't know what to say. She's willing to give up her turn for me so that I won't be unhappy, I guess it's not that big a deal since it's just a song but it feels like she's giving up the world for some reason.  She doesn't even know if I'm good or not, she's even willing to possibly be embarrassed on stage for me, am I reading too much into this? She's probably just trying to do a quick favor for a stranger cause she's just a nice person?

"Uhm... Jay if you don't want me to sing with you it's ok" she whispers, she looks let down. Oh shit, I spaced out for so long she thinks I don't want her to sing with me.

"I'm sorry, you barely even know me and I just offered to sing with you like we've been best friends since 1st grade or something." She keeps going, trying to apologize when she didn't do anything wrong. I look down at her hand that was still gripping my wrist, her hands are so small and I chuckle a bit. I immediately cover my mouth in embarrassment, hoping she doesn't think I'm laughing at her. Wait I am?

She looks confused and looks at her hand on mine and turns a very bright shade of pink, she removes her hand so quick, stumbling backward.

"I AM SO SORRY!" She screams in my face and buries her face in her hands. "I just wanted to grab you before you told him and I freaked out and grabbed your wrist out of nowhere, I was surprised myself and I'm so sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I can be an idiot sometimes and I'm just really sorry if you don't want to talk to me anymore I'd totally understand I mean I wouldn't want to talk to someone after they just grab my wrist out of nowhere, I mean maybe I wouldn't mind as much but not everyone is the same and I totally should've taken that into conside-"
