Love is Never Logical (A Jailey TMF story)

Chapter 1: My ex bestfriend.

I've had crushes before sure, but I've only had one major one. Jake Sterling from junior year. He used to pick on me and my friends when we had a music club back in high school, but one sudden day in junior year he auditioned. And my god did he sound great. We had a competition coming up so we let him join. And after that month he became my best friend. Right before the competition some drama happened. But I'll get into that later. Anyways, after junior year and it's the middle of senior year. A new girl Layla came to school, and oh boy was Jake in love. He was more in love with her then he was with this other girl from before, Daisy. When Layla confessed to him Jake was ecstatic. He started coming to practice less and less and started to stop hanging out with us. His excuse was always to do with Layla or the new group he had. I always had a feeling she didn't like me. It's like she hated when I hung out with Jake, even though he was my best friend. After he stopped hanging out with us it wasn't the same. He was the highlight of my day but then he was gone. But that was awhile ago. Now it's sophomore year of college. And i'm in my bathroom getting ready for class when my roommate and my best friend, Milly opens the door excitedly,

"DID YOU HEAR?! LAYLA CHEATED ON JAKE." She said laughing her head off, I gasped,

"Wait what?! Jake Sterling right?!"

"The one and only."

"Wait what why?!"

"She apparently started dating this random 30 year old rich guy."

I thought that was stupid but then I put my hairbrush down,
"Well anyways, I'm getting to class soon. Want Duncan when I get back?"

"YEEESSS! THANKS HAILS!"
I smile, I take my bag from my room and walk out of my dorm, I walk to class and sit down somewhere in the back. My friend Hannah sits down next to me,

"Haillsss! Please tell me you have notes.." She says with pleading eyes, I giggle,

"Don't worry I do, where were you last class anyways?"

"Period."

"Ooooh."
We were talking and having a normal conversation and her looking over my notes every 10 seconds or so when Jake sat down in front of us. He usually sat in the front, me and Hannah looked at each other surprised. I got a glimpse of him and he looked depressed, the professor came in and we started class, about during the end of class he gave us free time to look over and finish some notes. Me and Hannah were finished already. I laid my head down in my notebook,

"Uggghhh my stommaaachhh!!" Hannah complained,

"You're being so loud," I giggled "You need advil?"
"Immediately, my stomaaachh..." She said, I gave her an advil and my water, I felt like Jake was listening to was we were saying, but I didn't want to assume. The professor dismissed us and I was about to drag Hannah to Duncan with me when Jake stopped me at the exit,

"Hey Hailey can I talk to you?" Jake asked looking a bit better but still seeming depressed, me and Hannah look at each other with shock,

"I'll just meet you at Duncan?" She asks, I nod and wave her off. I tilt my head a bit and look at Jake,
"What's wrong..?"
He looked like he was about to say something but started saying something different,
"Me and some other people are gonna be performing at the charity event our college is sponsoring. Do you maybe want to think about doing it? I remember your voice in high school sounding really good. I'm sure it's improved even more." He chuckled lightly and awkwardly. I don't know why but that chuckle made my heart flutter, I did manage to respond though,
"I'll have to think about it. Thank you for telling me about it.." I said trying to smile, we both say bye and I go to the Duncan we have on campus,

"WHAT HAPPENED." She says shaking my shoulders,

"He just asked me to consider performing at the charity event..."

"Ughhh boring..." She said sighing, we got our drinks and went our separate ways, and when I got back to the apartment I put Milly's drink in the fridge and went to the bathroom to change into shorts and an oversized hoodie, I took my hair and decided to put in two braids so it can have some sort of waves. I put my hair into two braids and walk out of the bathroom, I sit on the bed and go on my phone watching Rosytok before someone rings the doorbell, I thought it was Milly and I think she forgot her keys again so I scream,

"GIVE ME A MINUTE!" I say as I get up and rub my eyes, I open the door but it wasn't Milly,

"Jake?"
