My biggest mistake

He finally asked me. I enter my house more than happy. Jackson finally asked me to be his girlfriend. Jackson is a guy in the same year as Grey; he has dark brown hair, and hazel eyes, is six feet, tall, and plays basketball. At the beginning of October, we started talking and now at the end of the same month, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I have to admit I was a little nervous about the whole thing since this is my first relationship, but Jackson is the sweetest guy I've ever met.

I pull out my phone and dial Atlas's number, my best friend in the whole world.

"Hey, what's up?" he says immediately as I take the phone to my ear.

"Wanna come over a little early, I need to tell you something?" I ask and I can't keep the excitement to myself.

"What's with this happiness?"

"I'll tell you when you get here!"

"I'll be there in like two hours, I have something to do right now." he says and my lips curve into a pout.

"Fineeeee!"

"Come on, El! Don't be sad as soon as I'm done with everything I'll be there. Promise!"

"Ok, see you later!" I say and I hung up the phone as I enter my room.

I let my backpack at the door and I head towards the bathroom to take a quick shower before I go downstairs to eat.

I'm not sure how Atlas would react when I'm going to tell him about Jackson, but hopefully, he won't do anything stupid. When I first started talking with Jackson and I told Atlas, he made a whole scene about how much of a jackass is Jackson and how he is going to break my heart and shit. He didn't talk with me for a week after I told him that he is bluffing and that he is probably not talking about the same Jackson. Anyways, I hope he finally understood that he is not going to stop me from talking with him. And to be honest, I don't even understand why he said that he is such a jackass, Jackson is so nice and good. Hopefully, Atlas would understand that I really like him and he should be here for me and support me through everything since he is my best friend.

I get out of the shower after what would be like twenty minutes and change into some cozy sweatpants and a hoodie. I run downstairs and I find Grey in the dining room eating some food.

"What are you eating?" I ask with a grin on my face.

"Salmon and rice with vegetables, there's a portion for you in the oven." he says not looking at me from his phone.

I grab the food and sit down across from him.

"Soo, how was your day?" I ask my brother.

He lets down his phone and narrows his eyes at me. "Why are you so happy? What have you done?"

I take a bite from my salmon and I simply melt at how good it tastes. "Jackson asked me to be his girlfriend!" I burst out with a smile on my face.

His face drops. "What!? You are way too young to have a boyfriend! Don't even think about it, young lady!" he shooks his head glaring at me.

"What do you mean I'm too young? You had your first girlfriend when you were thirteen, not to mention the fact that last year when you were fourteen you lost your-"

"Enough! No need to bring that up! You are not allowed to have a boyfriend before you are sixteen!" he says and now my face drops.

"Says who?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
