Realizing you made a mistake is one of the hardest things. You can never take back a mistake, it follows you everywhere.

Chapter 10

Waking up in the morning, I yawned and stretched. I snuggled back into the soft and warm pillow and sighed contently.

My eyes snapped open. I fell asleep on the grass! How did I get in my bed?

The pillow I was lying on sifted. I froze.

It wasn't a pillow.

I lifted my head only to be greeted by the peaceful sleeping face of none other than Jared.

Jared?!

I gasp and pushed him away, he fell on the floor with a thud. He groaned and rolled over.

"What the actual fuck?" He snapped. I looked over the bed to watch him.

"Why were you in my bed?!" I shrieked.

He laughed. A genuine laugh.

"It's not my fault you wouldn't let me go last night." He said with a smirk.

Let him go? What?

"What are you talking about?" I asked while frowning.

"You." He pointed to me. "Wouldn't let me go after I carried you in from outside." He said simply.

"That wasn't a dream....." I trailed off. It wasn't a dream. I knew something was off. I never had dreams, only nightmares.

"No it's wasn't. You quite literally wouldn't let go of my neck." He smirked smugly.

"Oh erm. Sorry." I blushed.

"Your a major cuddlier. Never would have guessed with the bitchy attitude." He said while standing up from the floor.

I gasped. "I do not have a bitchy attitude!" I snapped.

He looked down at me. "Yeah you do. Your so blocked off. I'd be surprised if you had any friends." He said.

I frowned. I didn't have any friends, my mother wouldn't let me. So I kept to myself.

"Whatever." I tried to shrug off his comment, but it was harder than I thought it'd be.

He frowned back at me. "Why are you so closed off?" He asked curiously.

"I'm not!" I lied, defensively. "It's none of your business." I quickly added.

He sighed. But then snapped his head up to look at me. He smirked, evilly.

Before I knew what was happening, he grabbed both my wrist and brought them over my head. He then put his full body weight on mine.

"I could always make you tell me." He whispered in my ear. I shivered from his breath tickling the sensitive skin there.

"No you couldn't." I whispered back.

He smirked evilly again and brought my right wrist into his right hand where my left one already was.

Jared moved his left hand down to my waist.

I looked at him confused. What was he doing?

He started tickling me.

"No! No! Ohmygosh" I kept giggling because I was extremely ticklish.

I tried kicking him away but he was to strong, he just kept smirking.

"I give up!" I said breathless after a few minutes. He just stared at me, his smirk slowly fading when he looked at my lips.

I gulped. "You can get off now." I whispered.

His eyes snapped to mine. He didn't bother moving.

We just stared at each other, for what felt like hours, but it was only a couple of minutes.

"Jared. Off. " I repeated my earlier statement.

"Oh right. Yeah." He frowned but stood up on his knees.

I leaned on my elbows and sat up. I brought my legs to my chest then looked at Jared to find he was already staring at me. He looked like he was searching inside of me, what was he looking for?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I questioned.

He frowned, and bit his lower lip. "Like what?" He mumbled. But continued staring at me.

"Like that." I gestured to his face. "Like your trying to look inside of me or something. It's creepy." I said while giggling.

He laughed with me.

I haven't laughed a real laugh in a long time. It felt good.

"So...." I trailed off while looking at him again.

His messy bed hair was sticking up in all directions, it was cute. His honey colored eyes sparkled while looking at me

"You have beautiful eyes." He suddenly said.

I blushed a deep shade of red. I tucked a stand of loose hair behind my ear while looking down at my legs.

"Thank you." I muttered without looking up.

No one has ever complimented me before. I wasn't used to it.

"Welcome." He said. I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Why are you being nice? Your usually a complete jerk." I looked up to see his reaction.

"It's the morning. I'm still tired." He smiled while he said it.

"So your gonna go back to being a jerk later?" I asked quietly, while frowning.

His eyes sparkled. "Depends on my mood." He smirked.

"Ah okay." I laughed. I stood up from my bed and walked to my closet. I didn't really want to change, so instead I walked into the bathroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror. My brown hair is still in a messy bun from last night, but it's more messy than I would have liked. My blue eyes looked kind of dull, with bags under my eyes from not really sleeping with all the nightmares. I frowned at my reflection. I slept really well last night. Best in eight years, not one nightmare.

How come I could let Jared lie on top of me and not freak out? I wasn't even thinking about him touching me. I liked it. He felt like home.

Home? I quickly shake those thought out of my head. He's not home. He'll leave eventually. Everyone does.

I sighed and splashed some water on my face then dried it with a towel.

I walked back into the room to see Jared sprawled out on my bed. He had his arms behind his head, legs crossed out in front of him. He looked relaxed, comfortable.

I lean against the wall. He still hasn't noticed that I walked back.

"Making yourself at home I see." I teased.

Jared jumped. "Geez! Your too quiet with walking. I didn't even hear you come back in." Jared said, with raised eyebrows.

I shrugged. And walked to the bed "Or maybe you just don't listen to anything around you." I laughed and slapped his arm playfully.

He grabbed my arm before it made contact with his skin, he pulled me down into his lap with the arm he had in his grasp.

I giggled and tried to get free. But he starting tickling me again. I kept giggling and trying to get free until I heard a shout.

"Nicole! What the fuck are you doing!" My mom shouted from upstairs.

My blood went cold and I froze on spot.
