Tay's P.O.V.

"You're not the only one..." She said as she looked to the floor. What's that supposed to mean? I shifted uncomfortably.

"are you sure that we should keep this up?" I asked. Hayleyrubbed the back of her neck and shook her head.

"I don't even know anymore. Do you still want to get Jenna?" she asked. Do I? I still like Jenna... I have to. I always have. Nothing's changed, right?

"I still like-no- I love Jenna Mcdougall! Her laugh, her voice, her smile, her everything. Even if she doesn't feel the same... I'll still love her." I said with absolution. I wasn't focused on convincing Hayley. I was trying to convince myself.

"Well... I don't think we should be kissing or anything. It's not that I hate it, but that's exactly it! Friends don't make out on a couch to try and trick their other friend into liking one of them. This is crazy... I'm sorry I made this happen..." She said.

"I think I'm going to talk to Jenna." I said.

"Well, make sure to tell her that we don't work like that. Just tell her that we're better off as friends. Okay?" She asked. I nodded and we both stood up.

"Do you remember where I put my jacket?" She asked. I walked over to the closet near the front door and pulled out her jacket. I walked back into the living room and handed Hayley her jacket.

"here you go" I said.

"Thanks..." She said. There was an awkward silence that took over the room. "I'm gonna go." She said as she backed out of the living room towards the entryway.

"Bye then" I said awkwardly. I plopped back down onto the couch when I heard the door shut. I laid down for a couple minutes and tried to collect my thoughts. When people say 'no one knows you better than you do' it's a lie. I heard a knock on the door and hit up to open it. I opened the door to reveal a pizza delivery person.

"how much?" I asked.

"20 bucks, even" he said. I reached into my back pocket to get my wallet.

"give me a sec" I said as quickly dashed to my bedroom. When I found it, I rushed back to the door. I handed him twenty bucks and took the pizza box from him.

"Are you Tay Jardine?" He asked.

"Yeah, but I'm also starving, sooooooo" I said. He took the hint after an awkward silence.

"oh! I guess I'll just go then..." He said. I smiled and shut the door as he started to walk away. I took the pizza and went to my bedroom. For the rest of the night I played shooting games and ate pizza as I blasted music through my speakers.
