The Other Team

fresh air

 I can't talk, everything just hit me all at once. How could I be so stupid? Of course she was in love with me. Jesus, Max. How are so fucking oblivious. Jane was waiting for a response. "You know what since you obviously don't feel the same, i'm leaving" Jane growled. "No, Jane wait!" I try to stop her from leaving but she ignores me. "i fucked up" i whisper to myself while falling back on the blankets. 

I walk through the Clarissa's front door with my head down. "Hey babe, where did you go" Clarissa asks me. "I just went to some old hangout place me and Jane used to hang out" i reply but my mind is in a different place. Jane's confession was stuck in my head. "was Jane there?" Clarissa asks while coming up behind me and wrapping her arms around my waist. "yeah she was..." I replied and Clarissa left my waist and moved to the front of me. "hope your not cheating on me" Clarissa jokes. I fake a chuckle. She gives me a kiss but there's something missing it's not an actual kiss per say, all i can think is Jane. 

I pull away "can i sleep on the couch tonight, I have a lot on my mind" i ask. "Sure, just don't leave the house until 7:00 i wanna see you when i get up." i nod

The rest of the day me and Clarissa just watched some corny movies on the couch. All i could think was Jane. When Clarissa got up close to me, Jane.  When she kissed me, Jane. 

When it was around 11:30 i get a message from Jane. Telling me to meet her at our spot. Great, I needed an excuse to talk to Jane anyways. I put on my shoes that are by the front door. Then start walking to the treehouse. Should've brought an jacket get's kinds cold at night in Hawkins i guess. 

When I get there i see a nervous Jane sitting cross legged in the fort she notices me. "hey" Jane says nervously i wave to her. "I think we should talk" she says as she waves me over to sit down. She looked really cute in the moonlight, Jane takes a deep breath. She begins talking-

"I know our friendship may never be the same, but i would've never said any of that if it meant losing you, when i moved and you didn't talk to me it broke me. I was not myself for at least a year without you. I'm fine with being your bes-" 

I cut her off with my lips.
