Once the Skype chat ended with my friends I laid in bed, spotify on shuffle, and my head a pool of unknown thoughts. Was it accidental? Or did jack really mean to kiss me. He was with Madison earlier and let her give him that big ass territory mark, so why did he feel the need to even try with me. He knows what the consequences are.

"Fuck that, I'm gonna ask him" I said. I ran downstairs only to find Johnson there.

"Hi brother" I said, taking a seat next to him and laying my head on his shoulder. he ruffled my black curls causing me to huff slightly. he smiled at me and I smiled back. you honestly couldn't even tell we were siblings. Johnson looked just like dad, and I looked just like moms side of the family. strange really.

"Where's fuck boy at?" I asked. he laughed and sat up slightly.

"He left, school tomorrow remember right?" He said causing me to shrug.

"Mhm. well I'm going to bed." I said walking back upstairs.

----------------------------------
I didn't see jack for the rest of the week. he just was not in school. Friday came, and I walked into my last period class which was AP English, and there he was. he was wearing a white t-shirt and black jeans. his hair was slightly messy and he looked hotter than ever. the hickey on his neck had slightly faded and I couldn't help but wince when seeing it. he looked up at me and smiled.

"Hey baby" he said standing to kiss my cheek.

"Hey jack" I replied smiling slightly and going to my seat.

"Okay class everyone seated, lets go lets gooooo" Mr. Scott said. once everyone was seated, we jumped right into people reading their papers. when it got to me, I cleared my throat slightly.

"I chose my brother. since I was younger, I've been significantly smaller than everyone since I'm younger than the people surrounding me. but I always felt safe, because I've had my older brother Johnson with me. he's been my protector from the day I was born. he's taken me under his wing, and I love him so much for that. he inspires me, because he's been working so hard for what he wants. which is a career in the entertainment industry and everyday I can see him striding more and more towards that goal. so basically, thanks Johnson. for being my biggest inspiration" I said, my face slightly growing hot as I took a seat.

"Very good Lia" Mr. Scott said, clapping his hands together while everyone else joined. everyone else went, then Jack stood up.
"I chose, a person I've known for a very long time, who I wish to keep unnamed but I will give this to them later. the person I picked, inspires me because they never fail to stick out, not matter what the surroundings. their beauty, captivates everyone, including me. this person is so strong minded, it's hilarious to make fun of them. but most of all. this person aims to be different then those around them. they have different goals, and they don't fall into the trends of everyone else which amazes me on a daily basis." he says. his eyes never left the paper.

"Very good Mr. Gilinsky." mr. Scott said. the bell then rang and everyone was dismissed.

-----------------------
After my friends left, and fled to whatever after school activities they had planned for a Friday night, I opened my locker to put my books in, and a paper fell out. and there, in an extremely familiar handwriting, laid jacks essay. only it was different from the one ready in class, it was in poem form.

"It's funny,
Because you don't seem to notice
When everyone else does
The way your smile
Can change the way The lighting is in the room
You're constantly happy
And not like anyone else.
You stand out Baby.
The beauty you have,
And the way you don't care,
Never fail to amaze me.
I'm no poet, and you already know it
Cause your brother is the one that comes up with the rhymes.
But keep that smile on your face
And one day,
I hope I can be the reason, it stays"
I blushed slightly and looked around at the empty hallway. had he really meant it?
-----------------------
"I say Netflix night" I said to Marie, Rae, Christy, and Liv. they all shrugged, meaning I won. the guys all went to our yard to smoke, and honestly I couldn't build myself up to see Jack. not after that poem. once we settled on a movie, I took my seat on my bed and watched as the beginning credits rolled on. when my phone then buzzed.

"Meet me outside" the message read. it was from Jack.

"I'll be back guys" i said walking out. Once outside, I heard the guys laughing, then I felt two muscular arms grab my waist.

"Boo" Jack whispered into my ear causing me to jump.

"You're an ass" I said clutching my heart. he chucked slightly and laid his chin on my shoulder.

"Got the poem?" He asked. I nodded.

"Good, thanks for being the inspiration to it. it wasn't easy, but Johnson helped. you know, cause he's the one that makes the rhymes." he said laughing. my stomach slightly dropped.

"Yeah his rhymes are... great" I mumbled.

"Hmm. right. he made it so much easier once he took over." he whispered, his lips slightly brushing my neck.

"I'm gonna go back inside." I said moving away from him.

"Right.. um.. right" he said while scratching his neck.

I moved towards the steps as he walked towards the guys. Then I decided to be nosy

"You so like her dude!" Sammy yelled chuckling.

"I swear on my life I don't. I got madison, fuck I gotta get with baby for" he said. my heart literally dropped.

"Watch your tone Gilinsky. I'll fuck you up. besides, Lia deserves better than you" Johnson snapped. I had heard enough and I went inside, back to the girls. and I sat and watched the film as if nothing had even happened.
