Only Her [#Wattys2015]

Chapter 25

I could tell Jake's were full of anger. My heart was pounding so hard, I didn't expect that Austin would confront Jake and..I'm sure Jake did not expect any if this.

Jake's voice became low and dangerous."What exactly gives you the right to even say that?"

Austin did not even blink when Jake asked him that instead he smiled," The fact that she loves me."

I looked at Austin in horror. I couldn't bear to see both of them fighting and I can't bear to hurt any of them..

"Jake.." I resisted Austin's grip on me."Jake..I.."

What was I trying to do? What am I gonna say? Because now I see a totally crushed Jake in front of me.

"So..you love him?" Jake turned to me with eyes full of sorrow."Is this the real you?"

My tears started to flow down my cheeks. I felt like I've done something unforgivable.

"Jayne." Austin pleaded."I can't watch the both of you any longer alright?"

I can't believe it. I'm torn between both of them. This tension is killing me.

I walked over to Jake and placed my hands on his face,"Jake..I love you and you know that..but.."

His blue eyes created a burning sensation in my heart. I can't do this. I can't do it at all.

"Jayne." Jake said."If you love me then you tell me the truth. Are you in love with my brother?"

I looked at Jake then to Austin. Austin stood there looking at me.

"Jake! I can't say it alright!" I cried."I don't want to hurt you!"

Jake grabbed my hands and said," You tell me now. I don't care if it hurts. I rather have you to be happy then for you to suffer like this."

Why did things have to come to this?

"Jake..I never wanted us to break up.." I told him."I never wanted Clare to come between us..if none of this happen I would...never have.."

"Never what?" Jake asked.

"I would never have fallen in love with Austin!" I confessed." And now he's driving me crazy..I can't ignore my feelings, Jake. But I want you to know I love you..I really really do."

"You mean..you used to.." Jake let go of me.
"I thought you would always be mine. But I was so caught up in that idea to fail to see that your heart was no longer with me."

I felt so much pain in my heart. Jake truly loved me. He cared for me. But I can't have both. It would be totally unfair.

"Jayne.." Jake said softly."Go with him." He planted a kiss on my forehead."I love you."
And with that, Jake left.

I turned to Austin."Austin.." I ran to him and hugged him."It's over."

"Jayne." He hugged me tightly."Now you're finally mine."

"Austin..why did you throw away the gift I gave you?" I asked him.

"I did throw away.." He replied." But after you left, I took it back. But why?"

"Why what?" I asked.

"It was a star. That pendant. Almost similar to the one I gave you." Austin said.

"Because you said I was your star and that you were the moon. But the moon and the stars are too far apart." I smiled warmly at him."If both of us were stars we could be together...as close as we wanted."

Austin leaned down to kiss me. For once, this kiss with Austin was without worries without pain of losing the one I used to love.

"Where's Jemma?" I asked him.

"She ran off after understanding what was going on." Austin smiled."But I'm glad she is because now I'm alone with you."

"Silly." I laughed."We're still in a place where many people are."

Austin smiled and dragged me out of the crowded place into a place beneath the night sky where stars shone above us.

Jake is hurt because of me..However..I'm sure he deserves someone else better. Someone who will love him wholeheartedly and someone who will do a much better job than me.

Austin and I danced under the moonlight in our own pace and world.

I'll have to tell everyone else that I'm with Austin now. But that doesn't matter, as long as Austin is by my side.

His kiss and touch are like every wonder of magic there is.

He has loved me from the start. The very start and I know he'll never let me go.

"Jayne." Austin turned to me."I have something I wanna tell you."

"What?" I asked.

"Wait maybe not tell you..it's too embarrassing. I'll type it out for you." Austin took out his phone and started typing.

I waited there, enjoying the cool breeze of the night. Curious and excited for what he had prepared for me.

"Here." Austin passed the phone to me."Read it."

I took the phone and the words he typed out said.

Many many days ago,
On Christmas day.
There was the most beautiful girl that No such words can say
How I truly felt about her
But she was already my brother's
And all I could do was watch from afar
But on the night she cried in my arms
I told myself
No other girl but her
Her love was for another
But I wanted only her.

"Wow." I turned to Austin. But the moment I did, his lips landed on mine.

"You heard me." Austin breathed."Only you, Jayne."

"Did you know how many times you kissed me tonight?" I laughed.

"I know. Don't stop the count though." Austin smiled."As long as you're mine, I can kiss you forever."

"Emm." I smiled."So cheesy."

"Yeah." Austin held me tightly.

And that was the beginning of something magical.

Maybe we had so much differences. Maybe I was older than him. Maybe people didn't like us together. So many 'maybes' I'll probably lose count.

But he didn't care. Neither will I.
