I've read so many fan fics like this and I just HAD to try it. This is in the Narrators P.O.V. because I feel like I can be more descriptive like that. Also, I don't think there'll be a Jilly kiss in this one. Ok, enjoy!!!

Gilly lay down on her bed, feeling highly bored. She would much rather be at her loud, active home for the weekend than at reform school, but alas, her family was away on vacation. She sighed. How long would this weekend be? Maybe she could catch a few more hours of sleep... Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door.

"Come in," she called lazily. The door creaked open, revealing 2 big violet eyes.

"Hey Gilly," Jax greeted her, rather excitedly, "Going anywhere for the weekend?" Gilly sighed again, still not looking up, and shook her head no. He stared at her, thinking, until Gilly faced him, and he turned away.

"Do you want to come with me to Royal Manor?" He asked, hopefully. Gilly sat up, intrigued. Jax's offer had caught her attention. She loved to visit Raz's castle, and found the paintings and artifacts very interesting.

"But wouldn't King Arnald say no?" She questioned, "I mean, how would he feel if Ollie came over?" Jax thought for a moment. She brought up a fair point, his father would not be pleased at him for bringing a friend. All of a sudden, a thought occurred.

No Jax, he chided himself, She would never agree. Way too embarrassing.

"Agree to what?" Gilly raised an eyebrow. It took a moment for Jax to register what just happened.

"I really do have a problem talking to myself," Jax groaned, causing a laugh from Gilly.

"But seriously," She shook her head once she had calmed herself down, "What is it? Why would it be embarrassing?" Jax sighed. How many times had the 2 of them done that since the start of this conversation?

"Well- I just- I thought- um-" Jax stuttered. Gilly raised an eyebrow once again. Jax was never one to stutter.

"Spit it out Jax," She rolled her eyes, growing impatient.

"Ok," He took a deep breath, "Father would only let anyone come with me for the weekend if we had any relationships like if we were dating or something so if we pretended you could come but if you don't want to that's fine and you can just stay here and oh my goblins this was a bad idea and-" Jax rambled on and on.

At first, Gilly found it amusing, but after about 5 minutes, she grew awfully bored. Why did he keep going on? It wouldn't be too hard to pretend, after all, everyone already thought they were dating. Honestly, Gilly would be happy too. For far too long, Gilly had ignored her feelings for him. At first, she often brought herself down, telling herself that she wasn't good enough for Jax and that he deserved someone better, but then it turned into 'Jax probably likes someone else. Not me.'

"Sure," Gilly cut into Jax's almost 15 minute rant. Honestly, did this boy ever stop talking? Even though Gilly could listen to his voice forever.

"Really?" Jax asked, looking quite relieved. Gilly nodded, fully aware of the slight tint of red her face was taking on.

"Yeah," She replied and nodded again, trying to play it cool. Really, on the inside, she was ecstatic. Jax! Boyfriend!

"Alright, well we have to plan this out," He took a deep breath, and ran his fingers through his hair. If his father caught him, he would be in MAJOR trouble. Of course, he loved the idea of Gilly being his girlfriend, even if it's just pretend. (SAY YOU'LL REMEMBER ME I'm a swiftie of course I'm gonna make as many taylor swift references as possible) Jax had the biggest crush on Gilly, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. The only one who actually knew was Ollie, and he wouldn't dare tell a soul.
