Does He Love Me, too?

Chapter 2

"N... No. Why?" Jere turns to me and I quickly look at the music box to wind it up.

"No reason." I glance at him.

He's still staring at me!

"Wh... What about you? Still d... Dating what her face?" 

I sigh and Jeremy frowns at that.

"We broke up because she fell for another guy and cheated on me with him." I turn to him.

"Oh.... I... I'm sorry I asked." Jeremy looks back at the tablet.

I was going to say something when my phone goes off saying I have a text. I check it.

"Really? She cheats on me and thinks I forgive her enough to take her to a movie." I growl.

"D... Do you have your eyes on s... Someone new?" Jere takes the phone out of my hands and put it on the table.

I know he's trying to keep me from getting angry by changing the subject, but don't like the feeling I have now.

"Y-Yes." I bite my lip before saying, "What about you?"

Jeremy turns very red. He makes a lot of weird sounds before letting out a high pitch, "Yes."

I frown. He may not want me to know. I guess that's weird sounds was his way of deciding to answers me.

I open my mouth, but then I notice Toy Bonnie crawling out the vent.

"Get down!" I whisper loudly and knock him on the floor. I get down and yank him under the desk with me.

Jeremy hugs he tight as he tight as he could.

We watch as T.B.'s feet move to where we were. 

I hug Jeremy. I shove his face into my chest. I pray we will leave.

I still hold onto him while Toy Bonnie was long gone.

Jeremy hits my side. It didn't hurt, but I jump by that. I let go of him.

"I... I couldn't breathe!" Jere yells.

"I'm sorry. I panicked." I let out shaky breathe.

Jeremy stares at me. "Y... You panicked?!"

"Am I not allowed to be scared?" I felt embarrass and angry at the same time.

"I... I thought this place d... Didn't scare you anymore." Jere just sits there.

"It never stopped." I get out from under the desk.

Jeremy gets out and stares at me again. I stare back.

"Wh... What else scares you?"

Losing you!

"Losing people I care about.... Being rejected.... Death. Do I have to say, I'm human and I get scared?" I sit in my seat.

"N... No...." Jeremy looks at his clock. "An... And now!"

I laugh when I heard no bell. "Wrong timing."

He loves to try to getthe bell to ring when he says now.

"Now!" I yell and the bells go off.

"Y... You got it again!" Jere huffs, but smiles at me.

"It's just luck." I get up and grab my phone.

The night watch holds out my hat. "Th... Thanks for letting me wear this..."

I take it and put it on my head. "Jere, you don't have to dress for the job. Why did you freak out because you didn't have your hat?"

The boy moves around and mumbles.

"Speak up." I don't want to sound mean, but that's sometimes the only way to get information. 

"I... I want to show you I... I can do this job.... I th... Thought dressing in the uniform is part of that." Jeremy looks at me sad.

"Jere..... You can already do this job. You don't need to think I don't see you can."

Another short chapter. :(

I want to make them longer!
