Tay's P.O.V.

I haven't heard from Hayley since yesterday, but Jenna called and said she wanted to spend some time together. I should be looking for my friend, but instead I'm probably going to do nothing about it. I still wanted Hayley around, but what about Jenna? We've come all this way to get here, but I don't even know if this is what I want anymore. I put on my hoodie and looked in my mirror. What are you doing with your life? I thought to myself. I took a deep breath, grabbed a beanie, and walked out of my apartment. The cold air hit my me as I walked outside. Jenna told me that she was staying at Vic's house which wasn't too far away. Plus, I could use the time to think. I started walking down the street as I put my headphones in my ears and listened to some music. The people who passed me seemed to be in a rush and I couldn't help but wonder what they were in a rush for. Before I knew it, I was outside Vic's house. I knocked on the door and Jenna opened it. She wrapped her arms around herself and rubbed her arms.

"It's cold out here," she said as she looked around. I smiled at her. It was so good to hear that little accent of hers. "Come on in, unless you want to freeze to death" she said.

"Would you warm me up afterwards?" I asked as I gave her a smirk. She grinned a little.

"Well, wouldn't you like to find out" she retorted.

"Okay" I said as I took a step back.

"Tay, I was only kidding. Get your cut little self over here. Vic and I were playing a game" she said. I chuckled as I walked into the house.

"Who is it?" I heard Vic shout from somewhere within the house.

"It's Tay!" Jenna yelled back.

"Took her long enough!" He said. We all laughed and Jenna lead me to the living room. I was expecting them to be playing video games or something, but no. Instead, I find out they were playing candy land and they were drinking hot chocolate. I sat with Jenna on the couch and soon after, Vic walked in.

"You guys ready to get beat!" Vic said as he sat down and started moving things around.

"I'll go get her hot chocolate!" Jenna said. She hopped out of her seat and ran off to somewhere else.

"So are you guys all good now?" He asked.

"What?"

"Did she apologize to you and Hayley?" He inquired.

"Yeah" I said as I watched him start shuffling the cards.

"How is Hayley? I haven't seen her in a long time." He asked.

"I haven't talked to her since yesterday night when we broke up" I said.

"You what?" He said, shocked.

"We broke up. Now I'm with Jenna" I said.

"That explains why she's so happy all of a sudden" he said as he started going back to setting up the game. Jenna walked in and handed me a mug of hot chocolate.

"Do you want marshmallows?" She asked as she held out a bag.

"Duh" I said smiling. She laughed and plopped a few into my mug.

"What color do you want to be?" Vic asked.

"Blue!" I said. He pulled out the blue and set it up next to the yellow and green ones.

"Who's going first?" Jenna asked.

"Rock paper scissors?" Vic said.

"Sure" I said. I ended up beating both of them. We talked about random things as we played and it was really fun.

"I got to go, I have band practice and stuff" Vic said as he stood up. He adjusted his hat and walked out the door while he picked up his keys from the counter. I heard the door shut and I dipped on my hot chocolate.

"So..." I heard Jenna say. I set the mug down and turned to see her smirking at me.

"What?" I asked. She tilted her head.

"what do you wanna do now?" She said as she started playing with my hair.

"I don't know" I said.

"Well, I guess its good that I do" she said as she bit her lip. I felt a lump in my throat and my heart was beating out of my chest.

"What might that be?" I asked. She giggled a little to herself. Her hand found its way to the back of my neck.

"This..." She said as she pulled me in for a kiss. I closed my eyes and rested my hands on her waist. Her other hand cupped my face and she started moving around. Soon enough she was straddling me and I was pulling her closer to me. Her lips were soft and warm, it reminded me of Hayley. I took those thoughts and pushed them to the back of my mind as fast as I could. I let my hand slide under her shirt. Her tongue soon entered my mouth and I let out a soft moan. Her hips started moving in a circular motion and I just went with it. Things were going great. Then my phone started ringing. She pulled away and laughed.

"Are you going to get that?" She asked. I laughed and picked up the phone. The smile soon faded though, because I saw that Hayley was calling.

"Hello?" I asked as I answered.

"Hey, I think I left my purse at your place yesterday." She said.

"Okay, where are you?" I asked.

"I'm outside of your apartment." She said

"Okay, I'll be over there in a bit" I said. I hung up and Jenna got off of me.

"I guess we'll have to hang out again sometime soon to resume this?" She said.

"Yeah, sorry" I said.

"No problem" she smiled at me. I got up and started walking home. When I got there I saw Hayley sitting against the wall next to my door. She saw me and stood up.

"Where'd you go yesterday?" I asked.

"Bar" she said. I laughed and she gave me a strange look.

"The only time you go to the bar is either when you're heartbroken or if your with friends" I said. She nodded. "So which was it?" I asked.

"Started one way, ended up the other" she said. I twisted the key and opened up the door.

"Thanks, she said as she walked in." I followed her. She walked to the living room and then stopped and turned to me.

"Where do you think it is?" I asked. She looked at her feet for a second. The. Her head lifted up and she attached her lips to mine. I was frozen. I like Jenna... But Hayley... What's wrong with me? She soon pulled away.

"Jenna doesn't have to know" she said. "It'll be our little secret." I didn't have an answer. She just smiled and started kissing me again. This time I accepted it and kissed back.
