"hey hailey you ok?" jack says coming up to me

"uh no, I mean yeah it's just I haven't seen zoe all day today" I sigh

"who's zoe?"

"zoey"

"ah" he nods

"yeah, I'm getting worried. she doesn't answer my calls or texts"

"I'm sure she's fine. I saw her in second period"

"ok. well I'm ganna head home" i flash him a half smile and begin to walk

"hey, we can hang out if you'd like?"

"that'd be great. come over to my place then we can go out" I say before heading inside my car

"ok" he smiles before heading to his car.

"make yourself at home I'll be back I'm ganna get money" I say before heading to my room.

I put down my bag and grab the money my parents left me

"nice" he chuckles as I enter the kitchen

he was pointing at a baby picture of me.

"stop it" I laugh and go in front of him my back against the fridge to cover it up

"why, it's adorable" he says laughing

"stop" I whine

"ok ok fine" he says backing away his hands up in the air

after it was silence.

he came closer to me, his hands on my waist now.

he pulled me closer to him to close the gap in between us.

I put my hands on his chest but don't push him away. I couldn't I froze.

he rested his head on my shoulder. all you could here was our breathing.

he lifted his head a little I turn to face him his lips centimeters away from mine.

my breathing was unbalanced as he was about to lean in but refused to and just held me in his arms.

"I think we should go" I quietly say with the only breath I had left. it's as if they took my breath away.

"yeah" he said and let me go.

"I um, yeah" I say before I head out the kitchen.

I stop and lean against the wall after I got out of the kitchen and sigh.

I grab my keys and head out. not long after he came out as well.

"my car?" he questions awkwardly

"uh yeah sure ok" I answer before heading to his car

dear jack,

I'm sorry. I almost did something with someone. that someone being your best friend. we didn't mean for it to happen it just did. maybe it's because I miss you. it meant nothing. I've been worrying about it and I don't know why. it happened and we both agreed on that nothing happened and to forget about it because it was nothing but I keep replaying the scene in my head over and over again. I love you. I do always. but maybe I should move on? baby I love you a lot but it's been almost a year and I know it's soon but I could maybe try it right? but maybe just not with your best friend. here's the thing I feel like he'll treat me as good as you did. I'm so sorry for spilling all of this on you. I miss you and there will always be a huge part of me that'll love you.

love,
Hailey
