Real Love?

Chapter 55

Micaela POV

We got to Michael's house, since it was the biggest, in 20 minutes. Jade slowly started acting how she was when we told her the news back in Panama.

"Hey. It's going to be ok. Go bed and prep your self for tomorrow, but make sure you understand we're going to be here the whole time." I told her.

She nodded and whispered, "Thank you for everything."

"Stop thanking me. It's what family does for each other."

She rushed upstairs and went up to the room we are sharing. I looked over at Michael who was acting different from the time he "woke up."

"Michael, you heard me and Jade talking, didn't you?" I asked him.

He shook his head, "No. What were you guys talking about?"

"Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't hear anything." I told him.

He looked up at me then back down, "Ok. Damn. I heard you talking about me."

"Don't take anything personal. You can't blame her because she is honestly confused."

He nodded his head, "I know. It's just that it got me thinking of some things."

"Like..." I motioned for him continue.

"What if I actually felt something for Jade soon? I mean I honestly don't know, but if I do I don't want anything to end up wrong. See what i'm saying?" Michael said.

"No I don't see what you're saying because we both know you aren't going to hurt Jade because you would hate yourself if you did."

He put his hand in his hand, "It's all messed up right now. All of us are focused on one thing and that's August."

I sighed, knowing he was actually right but scared at the same time. I dropped the topic knowing he wouldn't want to talk about it or just yell at me.

"Go get ready for bed. It's late and we need to be ready by 10 tomorrow." Michael told me.

I nodded and went straight upstairs. When I got to the room, Jade was knocked out. I changed into my pajamas and got some blankets to sleep on the floor.

I was thinking about everything and how things were changing so quickly. I felt my eyes get heavy and I closed them.

McCoy POV

I woke up around five to get ready. Actually just to go on run, get my mind clear of somethings. I was about to leave when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see Jade smiling.

"Hey. Why are you awake so early?" I asked her, whispering.

"Well I was going to go on a little jog. You know, clear my head." she said.

I nodded my head telling her I was agreeing with her. Once we walked outside, she pulled me into a hug.

"Ok Jade, I love the hugs. But you need to chill out with all these surprises." I said, joking and chuckling.

She playfully rolled her eyes, "We're running all around the neighborhood until 7."

"2 hours of running? Nah, i'll pass." I told her.

"Guess you won't get the surprised all of us planning for you." she said, putting in her earphone and jogging off.

I sighed and jogged next to her. I saw a smirk form on her lips.

1 hour later..

So I got really tired and stopped "jogging." I decided to walk and Jade stopped running seconds later.

"Couldn't keep up with me?" she said, laughing.

"HA HA HA. Very funny." I said, sarcastically.

"Awww. I'm sorry Coy. Don't be mad." she said, giving me puppy dog eyes.

"Ugh, shut up. I'm not mad." I said, laughing.

"So, we haven't hanged out in a while. I miss having you around."

I sighed knowing this would turn into something I wasn't ready for, "Yeah I miss being around you too."

"Then it's settled, we're going out for breakfast after this." she said.

"Uhh..Jade we have to--"

"Oh yeah. Never mind." she said interrupting me and walking off.

"Hey." I said, grabbing her wrist.

"That doesn't mean we can't hang out every other day after today." I told her, after a moment of silence.

She smiled and whispered, "Can I give you a hug?"

I pulled her into a hug and I felt her burry her head into my chest. When she pulled away she started running.

"Come on. We aren't done with running slow poke."

I laughed and started running with her. I wanted to ask her if her and Michael had a thing but I knew it wasn't the right time.

"Whatcha thinking about?" she said, while she was running.

I just looked at her crazy. How the hell do you run and talk? For me that's impossible. I stopped running and realized I didn't say any of that out loud. I caught my breath and she stopped running.

She walked towards me, "Tell me. I won't be mad, but you were looking angry."

"Well, i'm not angry or anything. But you and Michael got something?" I asked.

She shrugged her shoulders, "No. I was just thinking about if I fell for him, how would that work out?"

"Well first off, let's be real it's Michael. He wouldn't even try hurting you because you're everything to him." I assured her.

She nodded her head, "I know but anything could happen, like what if one of us lose interest?"

"Well, you will always be best friends. And after all these years of knowing him, you're worried about interest?" I asked her.

She just shrugged her shoulders.

"You know Michael is the most interesting guy out there and forever will be." I told her, smiling.

She chuckled, "I guess you're right. But i'm just not ready right now."

"I understand, and you need to have a serious talk with him when you know you're absolutely ready for that next step."

She surprised hugged me but jumped so I had to catch her. She mumbled a thank you against my neck.

I smiled, "I'm not carrying all the way back to his house."

"Ugh. Please! Just a piggy back ride." she asked, with pleading eyes.

I sighed in defeat, "Climb on."

She clapped her hands in joy and hopped on. Fortunately, she wasn't heavy at all so it was a 15 minute walk back to his house.

I put her down, right before we walked into his house.

"Thanks Coy." she said, giving me a friendly kiss on the cheek.

"You're welcome." I told her.

"Should I get ready now or do you want to eat breakfast?" she asked me.

"Let's eat breakfast, and I'll help cook."

She smiled, "Really?"

I nodded, "Of course. Why not?"

She smiled and took my hand. We basically ran to the kitchen, for some reason.

"Why you always running?" I asked her.

She laughed, "Always gotta be prepared."

"For what?"

"Robbers. How are you going to run away if you can't run? Or serial killers?....." and she continued to ramble on with her stupid yet funny thoughts.
