Tom x Jake || Disventure camp

Awkward awakening || Part 1

(Omigod, thanks for all the reads guys, I appreciate it 👍👍 please tell me how to improve, English isn't my first language so yeah!!)

(Jakes POV)

Huh... why is it so warm... I opened my eyes and saw Toms arms around me. I instantly turned red. I looked at his sleeping face, inches away from my own. I started feeling literal butterflies in my stomach.

I laid there, still, trying to not move because Tom looked so peaceful in his sleep. It literally made me happy seeing him like this. Last time I saw him like this was during the show... those were good times. I yawned quickly and reached over to my phone on the bedside table.

I looked at the time and realised that I was almost late to work! I slowly slid out from Toms grip and put a pillow in his arms instead. I fixed my hair and slipped on my shoes and legged it out of there. I didn't wanna be late for work..

I made it there 2 minutes late, panting, I walked over to Miriam and spat out a simple 'hi'.

Jake: "H-hi...Miriam.. I made.. it..."

Miriam: "Woah, Jake, you okay?"

I nodded.

Jake: "Yeah.. just.. slept in..."

Miriam: "Right.. do you still want to hear about my appointment?"

Jake: "Yeah, of course Miriam."

Miriam started rambling on about it while I served a few customers.

It was almost the end of my shift, like, maybe an hour until the end, I looked over towards the door and saw Tom, Gabby and... er, Ellie walk in. They walked over and placed an order. I blushed as soon as I saw Tom, knowing what happened that morning.

They sat down near a table as Miriam told me she had to leave early again, her cat apparently had to go to the vets. I had to lock up again...hopefully my ex won't pop up again.

I walked over to their table and put down their coffees and cookies.

Jake: "There you go guys. Oh, hey Gabby, long time no see! And... Ellie.."

Gabby: "Hai Jake!! How have you been? How is it working at the cafe? Do you like working here? How is your love life? Do you still like Tom?"

I was about to answer until I heard the last question. My face lit up red and I started stuttering. Tom even almost spat out his coffee.

Jake: "Woah.. Gabby.. that's a lot of questions.. erm.. I've been good thanks.. how about you Gabby?"

Gabby: "I've been AMAZING!! Ellie and I live together and we're dating! We are both going to art school too!!"

I gazed over at Ellie.

Ellie: "Yeah.. hey Jake.. can we talk?"

I looked at her in slight shock and reluctantly nodded as I led her outside to talk.

Jake: "What do you want now? Aren't we like ex best friends?"

Ellie: "Jake..I'm sorry for what I've done. I just.. I struggled with money, I still am but, I really needed it for college, but.. I hope you understand..I get I was an asshole but...I just wanna be friends, if not. Then just on stable ground."

My jaw dropped as she said them words. I heard how genuine they were too.

Jake: "W-wow Ellie, I can't believe I'm hearing this from you I-...Yeah..we can be friends again..please don't betray me again.."

Ellie smiled and hugged Jake who wrapped his arms around her.

Ellie: "Thank you, Jake."

We hugged for a while before I held back tears. I missed this. I missed being friends with Ellie. We stood there for a few minutes until she pulled away.

Ellie: "I get it's a little straight forward to ask this, but, how are you and Tom?"

I sighed and blushed slightly.

Jake: "I actually don't know..Like last night I was at his house because I was being chased-"

I got interupted by Ellies gasp. She looked rather concerned.

Ellie: "Omigod, was it your crazy ex?!"

Jake: "Heh...Yeah..Tom let me inside his house where I was safe. Lucky me for Tom actually being home. I literally had a freaking panic attack. But Tom comforted me and let me chill out in his room and-.."

I literally turned red at the rest. I couldn't say it, it was so embarassing. It's even worse because Tom probably didn't know either.

Ellie: "Why are you so red- OH!! What happened?"

She smirked as she said that. She's so on to me...

Jake: "He uh..might've wrapped his arm around my shoulder..and I fell asleep next to him...I uh..I also woke up with him hugging me!"

I gasp as I say the last part. Ohh I said too much..

Ellie: "Hah! I knew you still liked him! Gabby owes me so much money..!"

Jake: "Wait- you has bets?!"

Ellie: "Duhhh!!"

Jake: "Of course you did..."

Ellie laughed at my reaction. She looked really happy. It was nice finally getting along again. But did I say too much? Ugh...I'm an idiot..

Ellie: "So you STILL like Tom?"

Jake: "Uhhhh...Y-yeah...I just don't want our relationship to end like last time.."

Ellie put her hand on my shoulders, she had slightly chipped black nail polish. It felt comforting.

Ellie: "It won't, just hope he likes you back..."
