Joey's perspective

Before I knew it, I was kissing Jake. How did this happen? We where in the car a few seconds ago now we're standing in the front of a major hotel, kissing. "Jacob Mark Pitts! You let go of her now!" No! It's Ash. He will kill Jake or me or both of us for this. He'll never forgive me. I break the kiss and bury my face into his neck and squeezing my arms around him. I feel the tears coming and I can't stop them and my body begins to shake uncontroably. "Get. Off. Joey. Now." He comands and Jake pulls me away from him at arms length. I begged him to take me and run with my eyes but he does nothing. He goes to wipe a tear away but Ash grabs his wrist and jerks it away. I turn to him, still crying. "Leave me alone! I want to stay with Jake!" I hear the tears in my voice. But I don't care. They're both shocked at what I'd just said. Ash lets go of his wrist and pouts off to his hotel room. "Joey? What happend between you two?" Jake asks in pure concern in his voice as we walked to his room. "I don't want to talk about it." How could I explain that my ex-bestfriend slept with my true love? "Okay." Was all he said and that made me smile. Too bad that he couldn't see it for I was looking at the ground as we walked. He had a arm wrapped gently around my shoulders and pulled me closer to his side and I wrapped my arms around his waist. Ugh. Why can't I be like this with Ash? I'm in a love triangle and can't catch a break. Jake got dumped because of me, he has the right to hate my guts but he's all lovey-dovey with me.

We make it to his room, and I spot Ashley across the hall with another girl, kissing. He sees me, and I let a single tear fall down my cheek letting him know that he was hurting me by doing that to me. Jake gently tugs me along into his room. I don't remember what happend after that but I end up in Jake's arms, crying my eyes out. Then the moans started. I covered my ears but it did little protection. I must've passed out because I woke up with headphones in blasting Teenage Dream by Vampires Everywhere. It's mine and Ash's song.

flashback

We danced that song the first time went dancing. It was the best night ever. We smiled at eachother and he said, "Wanna dance?" I smiled and took his hand and litteraly dragged him to the dancefloor. It was a good thing I was wearing flats that night, because we danced all night. We kissed in the middle of the song. He then swept me off my feet bridal style and carried me to the car and drove us home and we sat in the living room listening to eachothers bands and just talked all night. We actually like a couple of the same bands. And I won't say who!

end of flashback

The song made me smile. "How you feelin'?" Jake asked on the other bed brushing out is hair, wincing at the rats as I call them. "A little better. Thanks for last night. He won't live after today." It's sad that I was talking about Ash like this.

"It's okay. Even he has feelings. He was probably feeling betrayed. When he saw us... ya know.."

"Yeah... But he didn't have to do that. He knows what I've been through... and to do that is...."

"I know. He can be a jerk sometimes. Espically when he's drunk. He was more than likely drunk last night. So he'll probably have a major hangover." The last part made me smile and he smiled too. "Joey... Open the door... We have to talk." We look at eachother in shock. I sprint for the bathroom and lock myself in. I hear the door open, "She doesn't want to talk to you. Just leave her alone." I hear Jake say. "Fine. Just tell her that I'm sorry for last night." I couldn't take it anymore. The pain and longing for him was unbearable. "He doesn't have to." I say as I open the bathroom door and they where shocked like I'd just killed someone."What?" I asked because they where stairing at me for so long. "Nothing... Come on. We have to talk, and we have a show tonight so we don't have all day." God what's his problem? He drags me to his room and shuts the door, and motions me to sit on the bed and I do. He sat on the other bed facing me. "Joey, I'm so sorry for last night." He says looking at me directly in the eyes. I couldn't think straight for a few minutes and just stared at the floor. "Do-Do you forgive me?" He asked. I looked up at him and smiled. "Yes. I can't stay mad at you forever." He smiled and bear hugged me. He has a thing for bear hugs. He loves trying to suffocate me.
