-Amanda's P.O.V-

I didn't want to go to school today. I felt like a mess, and I had no idea why. I decided to fake a sickness so I could just stay home.

If I'm gonna fake it, might as well make it believable. I got up and put hot water on my head, making sure it seemed like I had a fever. "Mom" I yelled.

"Yes sweetie?" For a second I thought she was on to me, so I coughed a couple of times.

"I don't feel so good" as I knew she would, she came over to feel my head. Thank god she didn't have the thermometer with her.

"Oh wow you're burning up. I'll call the school." I gave a weak smile and she walked out. I gave a sigh of relief and turned on my tv. I honestly didn't know how I felt. I felt sad but then a different emotion. I don't know, but it needs to go away now. I texted Brooke to let her know I wasn't going to school.

Me: Not going to school. See ya tomorrow.

Brooke: ugh okay. Aw Jack is gonna miss you!(;

I ignored her last text and sat my phone down on my bed. I kind of hoped he would miss me, but he probably doesn't care. I laid back down and fell asleep.

Maybe about an hour or so later of me sleeping, I heard a knock at my window. I slowly sat up and looked to see Jack in the window. I got up and he walked in.

"Are you sick?" I shook my head and he sat on my bed. I was so confused why he was here instead of school.

"What are you doing here?"

"I saw you weren't at school so I decided to fake sick and come here. Is that okay?"

"Yeah" I laughed and sat next to him.

"Oh and before I came here, I snuck home and brought a couple of movies. You can pick which one you want to watch." He reached into his backpack and grabbed like 10 movies. I ended up picking Tammy. He put the rest of his movies to the side and put the movie in.

"I love this movie." He smiled like a child and I swear it was the cutest thing ever.

"I've never seen it." He turned to me and looked at me in awe.

"What?? How have you not seen this?" I shrugged. I never really go out to see new movies, let alone buy them. He turned his attention back to the TV and propped himself up on his right elbow. He got a little closer but I honestly didn't mind.

A little after the movie started, I heard my mom walking up the stairs.

"Shit!! Hide my moms coming!" He quickly got up and scrambled to my closet. My mom opened the door and I coughed to milk it.

"You doing okay?" I nodded and she looked at the tv. Shit. We never bought this movie.

"Where did you get that movie?" I thought about a lie in 2 seconds.

"Oh I borrowed it from Brooke a while ago and I just now found time to watch it." She seemed to buy it because she nodded and left. Jack burst out of the closet and laid back on the bed.

"What a close one. I guess you aren't so bad at lying." He laughed a little and continued to watch the tv.

After the movie ended, he was fast asleep. He was curled up in a little ball, holding the pillow to his chest. He looked so flawless.

I found myself sleepy so I laid down next to him and curled up into a ball.
