"Mom! Are you home? Dad?" I entered the house to cold corridors and darkness surrounding. The house looked just like the way I left it. I reached out for my phone from my back pocket and opened iMessages.

To Dad and Mom:

Where are you guys? There is no one in the house.

Quickly my phone buzzed with the notification of a text message.

To Jessica:

Mom: I had to go shopping be back later honey

Dad: Getting out of work late I am probably going to stay over at the hotel for the night. Love you sugar.

I had the nagging suspicion that it wasn't at all cheery as it sounded and look. I looked back at Nathan and a hopeful Allison.

"So that means we are going to have the house to ourselves?" She asked. I sighed.

"I guess so." I shrugged; Allison shared a glance with Nathan.

"Do you want to stay over for a bit?" She asked using puppy dog eyes.

"Sure why not?" He responded.

We locked the door behind us and entered the living room. It was strange having all the lights out and the atmosphere just being so empty even with the three people in the house right now.

After watching about an hour of the movie we had finally decided on watching which was Titanic one of my favorite movies of all time.

"Hey guys I think I am going to go to bed I'm tired." Allison said.
I nodded and grabbed a handful of popcorn stuffing it into my mouth. Causing both Allison and Nathan to chuckle.

"Goodnight Ally." Nathan said.

****

I felt my eyes grow heavy after watching more of the movie. Instinctively I placed my head on his shoulder.

"Nathan?" I whispered.

"Yes?" He whispered back into my hair.

"Tell me about yourself. I've known you for a while and I really don't know about your personal life that much."

"So is this the part where I pour out my heart to you and then there is some traumatic family issue with me and then you pity me and then I will say don't cry for me and then you kiss me or something?" Nathan said sadly.

"Do you want me to kiss you?"

NATHAN'S POV

I haven't known Jessica for very long no more than a couple of months but I knew she made me feel weird things. Everything with her was different. It's unexplainable how I truly felt for her. She was sweet, funny, beautiful, and smart and just about every positive word could describe her. I feel so stupid thinking all of these things but she's just amazing. I just can't understand how she keeps such a strong profile whenever she's in public.

Part of me can see that she's just hiding who she really is. No matter this 'strong' image she pulls off I can see she's hurting so bad inside. I guess she is an actress after all.

"Well do you?" Her soft voice disrupted my wondering thoughts.

"No. Don't be silly." She looked at me and gave me a soft smile.

"I love being silly though."

"Oh well." I shrugged. The smile on her face grew wider.

"Fine."

"Fine af." Jessica shook her head her long dark hair swaying slightly.

"Where did you inherit your hair from?" I asked looking at her hair.
