Fake boyfriend | Jschlatt x OC

Chapter twelve ~ Feelings

Monday, 2:08am.
Location, New york.
Julie's moms house ~ Bedroom.

Julie awoke for about the third time that night.
She just couldn't stop thinking about these new feelings and what feelings they even were.
Schlatt was asleep, facing the wall and snoring ever so lightly.

Julie decided that since she couldn't sleep, she might as well waste her time.
She slowly crept out of bed, trying her best not to wake Schlatt, which she succeeded at! She did not wake Schlatt, or so she thought.

Julie opened the door and closed it quietly, heading down the stairs and into the kitchen.
She opened the fridge and got out a bottle of dr pepper and some baby carrots.
She set her little snack down and hopped onto the counter by her little 'meal'.
As she was munching and trying her best not to think about... Schlatt, he walked right into the kitchen.

"Oh shit, did I wake you when I left the room?" She asked, setting down her drink and screwing the lid on.

He shook his head, "No, you didn't."
Which just wasn't true, she totally woke him up.

"Oh, good. Why're you up?" Julie asked as she bit into a carrot.

"I could ask you the same thing," He walked over to the counter she was on and hopped up onto the space next to her.

"Oh, I just couldn't sleep." She shrugged and offered him a carrot, which he responded with a 'No thanks'.

"Any reason why? I noticed you kinda seem like, I dunno, maybe you had something on your mind?" He said, look over to her then just looking around the room.

"No, I'm fine. Really, I just have a headache so it was kinda keeping me up, I guess."

Schlatt knew she wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't wanna push her. If she didn't wanna talk about it then obviously it wasn't his place to make her.
"Alrighty," He hopped off the counter and turned around to face her, "I'm gonna go back to bed, don't stay up too long, okay?"

Julie nodded her head in response and bit into another carrot.

Tuesday, 12:14pm.
Location, New york.
Rental car.

Julie was doing everything she could to just simply not even think about Schlatt.
So, she got permission to pick Alison up early from school and take her out for a girls day.

"Why are you picking me up again?" Alison questioned her as she took her lanyard off and stuffed it into her backpack.

Julie looked over to Alison with a little smile but quickly put her focus back on the road, "Oh, ya know! Just wanted to have a girls day with you, since i'm leaving soon."

"Right, right. Y'know, something has been weird with you lately." Alison said as shook her head and gazed out of her window.

"What? Nothing has been weird. God, you and Schlatt both think that." Julie sighed and lightly tapped her finger against the steering wheel.

Alison shrugged, "Well, I mean, you have been acting weird  You can talk to me. You know that, right?"

Julie shook her head and responded, "Yeah, I know I can.. it's just- I can't really talk to you about thi-"

"I know you and Schlatt aren't dating." Alison said blankly and she continued to look out the window.

"W-what? He told you?" Julie was absolutely bewildered by what Alison just said, I mean- How did she even know?!

"No. But, I overheard you guys talking one night.. so yeah." Alison looked over to her sister for a moment then back out the window, "Look, the reason i told you was because, I think I know what's been on your mind and why you've been acting weird."

"No, you don't." Julie shook her head and kept her eyes on the road.

"It's Schlatt, isn't it?" Alison asked as she looked over to her sister.

Julie didn't respond.

"Jules, talk to me. Please."

Julie cleared her throat as she pulled into Alison's favorite restaurants parking lot and parked.

"Look- Al. I don't even know what I am feeling about Schlatt but, i'm just trying to ignore it, so can we just go inside and eat?"

Alison gave a sympathetic look to her older sister and spoke, "Jules, I think you do know what's going on. You're in denial."

Julie kept her eyes on the steering wheel, not wanting to look at her sister, because she knew that she was right.

"Yeah, whatever. I'm starving, let's gooo." Julie said as she took the keys out of the ignition and got out of the car.

"Mm, okay," Alison obliged and got out of the car with her.

After a nice lunch, getting their nails done, shopping and getting boba, the girls finally made it back home.

"Hey guys! Y'all have fun?" Schlatt asked as the two girls set down their bags and things onto the kitchen table.

"Mhm," Is all Julie responded with.

"Yeah!! I had a lot of fun." Alison smiled, "I'm gonna go call my friends and show them what I got. Thank you so much for everything Jules, love you." Alison hugged her big sister then took her things up to her room.

"So, get your mind cleared a bit?" Schlatt asked Julie.

Julie laughed a little, trying to sell the fact that she was totally fine and not overthinking anything at all, "Schlatt, look. I told you, fine. Nothing to worry about."

"Whatever you say, dude" He shrugged, giving in easily to avoid pushing her.

"Oh! I finally got an email from the stupid airport." Julie said as she opened up the email.

Schlatt walked over to her and stood behind her, putting his arm around her casually and looking at the phone.

"Flights rescheduled to tomorrow at-" Julie started but was cut off by Schlatt

"3:30am?! Oh, hell no." Schlatt said.

Julie held back a laugh, "It'll be fine, our stuff is still packed so we can just pull an all nighter or something and take an uber. I'll have my mom or dad drop of the rental."

"Hmmm, alright." He shrugged and removed his arm from her and walked into the living room

"Wanna watch tv until we have to go?" He asked Julie.

"Definitely." She nodded.

1:08am.

"Alright, Uber is going to be here in... 20 minutes! Got all your stuff?" Julie asked Schlatt as he came down the stairs with his last bag.

"Yup. Also, why are we leaving so early?" Schlatt asked as he reached the bottom of the stairs.

"So we don't miss the flight? dumbass."

"Oh, wow. What a charming way to talk to your boyfriend." Schlatt teased as he set his bags by the front door.

"You're not my boyfriend," Julie whispered to him.

"Last time I checked, we are still in your mothers house, so yeah, I am. Dumbass." He responded, also in a whisper

"Mmmm, Touché."

After a while of waiting, the uber finally arrived and Julie prepared herself for a dreadful flight next to the person that she was falling in love with.
