Waiting on you

fool in love

i woke up to 3 light knocks on my door and jett was nowhere in sight. was it all a dream? just then i heard my door open and i heard him speaking.

"oh sorry i must have the wrong house" i heard victoria say.

"who are you looking for" jett asked her

"is alyssa here" she asked and i quickly got out of bed and threw some clothes on

"yeah victoria come in" i shouted from the bedroom. victoria came in and jett moved aside from the door about to close it but was stopped by another person.

"hey sorry i was just parking the car" max said as he walked in.

"What are you guys doing here" I said while looking at Jett who was standing behind max. I swear if looks could kill.

"We came to check on you. You didn't look good last night and I was worried" Victoria said while walking over to me.

"I'm feeling good" I said remembering the events from this morning and blushed a bit. I gave Victoria a hug and we all walked into the kitchen. "Would anyone like something to drink" I asked trying to break the tension and silence in the room.

"Water is fine" Jett said sitting down next to me at the table.

"Do you have tea" Victoria asked.

"Of course" I said while getting up.

"I'll take a tea as well" max said sitting down across from Jett. I went and made the tea and grabbed a water for Jett and came back into the room.

"Here you go" I said as I passed out all of the drinks. "I'll be right back" I said as I had to go to the bathroom. I gave Jett a quick kiss and walked away. I heard Jett's phone going off in the bedroom so I went to grab it so I could bring it out to him. It was a call from hunter. I let it go to voice mail and noticed there were 7 missed calls from him. He tried calling again so I picked up.

"OH MY GOD JETT FINALLY YOU PICK UP. ARE YOU OK." I couldn't speak. Why was Cecilia calling from hunters phone.

"Jett... hello... please answer me" she said on the other end. I had enough. I hung up the phone and completely didn't have to pee anymore. I walked back into the kitchen and handed Jett his phone acting like nothing happened.

"Oh thank you" he said leaning in for a kiss but I turned away.

"So when I come back am I allowed to publicly be your fiancé again" I asked with a straight face.

"Alyssa...we talked about this" he said with a sigh.

"Yeah...I know" I said looking down at my hands that were sitting in my lap.

"Do you really want to talk about this with your friends here" he said looking over at Victoria and max.

"No...but I would like to talk about something else" I said just as his phone started going off. He looked at it and went to put his phone away. "You should pick that up shes really worried about you" I added turning my head towards him with my arms crossed.

"What" was all he could get out. Max and Victoria just sipped there tea and looked at us like they were about to watch a cat fight.

"You heard me..." I said to him. "Did you know he came here and told me that he made a huge mistake and tried to get me back.." I said looking at max and Victoria "...when this whole time he had someone else back home waiting for him" I said turning back to Jett who looked like he had seen a ghost.

"It's not what it looks like" Jett said standing up.

"Save it... it's been what 2 days and you've moved on pretty quickly. I think you should go" I said getting up from my chair now.

"Alyssa just hear me out." He said walking towards me but I backed away.

"You heard her... she wants you to go" max said now standing in front of me.

"Whatever man..." Jett said and went to the room to grab his stuff and walked out the door. Victoria walked over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder and I turned to her and cried into her shoulder. She wrapped me into a tight hug and rubbed my head.

"Hey don't cry he's not worth it." She said.

"Victoria... I love him. I feel like I always will love him." I said as we now sat on the couch.

"I'm going to go grab some stuff" max said as he walked out the door. Max came back an hour later with a bag of snacks and drinks and handed them to us.

"What is this for" I asked looking up at him.

"this is movie night" he said smiling while sitting down on the couch next to victoria. victoria grabbed the remote and turned to me.

"what are we watching" she said. and maxed grabbed the remote from her.

"ill pick" he said turning the tv on. victoria groaned and i watched as he put on wolf of wall street.

"again" victoria said and i laughed with max. hours passed and the movie was over but we all just sat around talking until victoria said she had to leave. max stayed a little longer and we continued to talk.

"what are you doing next weekend" max asked as he started picking up the mess that we had made. 

"nothing yet why" i asked him getting up off the couch and walking towards the kitchen with cups in my hand helping him clean.

"i have a race and my sister is going i was wondering if you wanted to come along" he asked me starting to wash the dishes.

"you dont have to do that" i said trying to stop him from washing the dishes.

"uh uh" he said sliding over and bumping me out of the way. "let me do this for you" he said smiling at me.

"max" i said in a stern tone.

"dont make me spray you" he said grabbing the sprayer attached to the sink

"you wouldn't dare" i said smiling at him now. just then he squeezed the handle. i tried to escape but he grabbed me and held me close. both of us now getting drenched i reached over and turned the faucet off. as i turned around to face him we locked eyes. for a moment i wanted to give in to temptation and it looked as if max did as well. he started leaning in and so did i. just as our lips were about to touch i pulled away.

"max i cant" i said in almost a whisper.

"its ok, im sorry" he said backing away now

"you have nothing to apologize for. i can't do that to jett." i said now looking down at the ground

"you still love him. its understandable." he said making me look up at him "but instaed of telling me and victoria you should go home and tell him" he added

"what if he doesn't feel the same" i asked him

"then he is dumb. IF he doesnt fell the same you know where to find me" he said walking towards the door.

"max..." i called to him as he opened the door. he stopped and turned towards me "...thank you" i said and he gave me a nod. 

"any time" he said and with that max left. i ran into my room and grabbed my suitcase and started packing. after packing i booked the next flight home and texted sara that i was coming home and not to tell anyone.
