"Jessica is that you?" I faintly heard from a distance.

"Jessica? Hey hello?"

The male voice rang in my ears. I felt a small sting in my cheek. Did he just slap me?

"Oh my gosh is she dead?"

"JESSICA!"

The voice yelled startling me causing me to jump up bumping heads with the male.

"Jess that hurts like hell."

I turned to the boy.

"Sebastian?"

I looked around and saw I was still on the bench and the lights were back on. Was it only a dream?

"Why is it that I am always here when you faint?" Sebastian chuckled.

"Hey, I have only fainted 2 times in my entire life loser."

"I am not a loser I am a winner."

I gave him a funny look before responding.

"Sure you are. Sure..." I drawled on sarcastically.

Sebastian laughed and then put on his serious face.

"Why the hell are you out here in the middle of the night on a bench all alone?" He said looking me directly in the eyes.

How much should I tell him? He wasn't necessarily my friend and I wasn't sure if I should trust him in the first place. I never like him that much in my entire high school experience. It's not that he did anything bad to me but I just never felt the attraction.

"Well if you don't mind I think it's time for you to be home."

"Well in fact I do mind so I asked you the question first so you better answer it."

Randomly I felt the anger from previous erupting inside of me.

"Why would you care, don't you have a life to get back to? We aren't even friends."

Sebastian looked slightly hurt from my remark. Immediately I regretted snapping at him.

Oh well it's not like we were friends after all. I saw Sebastian's face harden.

"I'm sorry if it bothers you that I am curious why a teenage girl is all alone on the streets. I am not heartless you know." Sebastian snapped back. "Fine I'll go then if you clearly don't want me here. I'm not a bad person."

"Whatever. Bye."

I got up and walked away. I had no idea where to go but anywhere but here.

Maybe Chloe's house but God knows she'll be asleep at a time like this.

SEBASTIAN'S POV

What a brat.
All I did was try to help her and all she does is act so rude to me? I will never understand girls.

Yet I still care for.
(OH I JUST DROPPED THAT BOMB.)

Ever since I bumped into her on the stairwell I couldn't help but notice her presence whenever she was near me. I knew she probably liked the boy that she always hung out with; Nathan.

Against my own will I began to fall for her charm. What charm you ask? I think it was how much she obviously despised me. She was just different.
Considering the way she responded to me finding her I don't think she'll ever like me back.

It was only faith that I was just walking past the bench where she was. Maybe it was meant to be.

Okay I sound like a girl right now.
Oh whatever.

Wait so what was Jessica doing there on a bench? I should go after her; something's obviously bothering her and as her future boyfriend...

....In your dreams Sebastian...

Fine. As her future husband...

Really *slaps*

Okay stupid conscience as a possible acquaintance...

That's more like it Sebastian.

I should go see what's wrong with her. I think that's in "How to Deal with Grumpy Girls for Dummies 101 Boyfriend Edition" somewhere.

"Jessica!" I hope she didn't get too far.

"Jessica wait!" I ran thank goodness for these long legs. And thankfully she wasn't too far away. I found her slouched on the ground her hair covering her the sides of her face and her hands blocking her face. Her shoulders moved up and down indicating that she was breathing or crying.

Probably both.

"Jessica?" I lowered my voice and bent down.

"Can you please go away Sebastian?" She asked softly, not removing her hands from her face.

"I know better than to leave you when you are going through something like... whatever you are going through. I know you are making such an emphasis on that we aren't friends but you can trust me with whatever it is. I can be here for you. Why do you despise me so much?"

Jessica removed her hands from her face and looked at me. I saw the tear stains on her cheeks.

"Everything is just falling apart."
She said quietly yet her voice filled with pain.

"Sebastian... My family is broken and I just can't handle it anymore and something is wrong with me." Her small voice trailed off. Shocked by her extremely weak state I thought of nothing else to do but wrap my arms around her and cradle her head in my chest.

So I wrote this entire chapter today on my phone in notes. Let me know what you guys think!!
