Lex and I left Sam's house early she had to get ready for school. I pretty much crawl to my room and plop on my bed and fall right back asleep. I slept like a baby, until shit went down. I heard the door bell ring a few times and I hear my mom talking really loud. I try to fall back asleep but a knock sounds at my door.

"Laila?" I sit up and look at Jacob standing in my door way with his hands in his pockets. "Hey."

"Hi!" I say really groggy. "Umm, hey."

"I just wanted to talk, I've already talked to Sam. I know you spent the night at his house last night. And I know he still loves you, he told me everything. I just needed you to tell me." I looks at him and rub my eyes.

"Uh wow, good morning to you too." I chuckle.

"Oh sorry, good afternoon actually." I look at my clock and it's 1:30. Holy shit.

"Damn ok. But anyway what do you want me to say Jacob, that I'm madly in love with Sam and I've been seeing him on the side this whole time. And that I dont want to be with you. Because if I said that it would be a load of bullshit." His head shoots up and his eyes soften.

"Wait what?" I smile and he walks to my desk and sits down.

"Jacob, I'm with you. I just was confused with the whole Sam thing. I thought I wanted to be with him. But I don't want to feel like I have an obligation to him. That's not me. I liked what we were. I love what we are." I explain.

"So while you were with me, you wanted him?" he asks slowly.

"No! I just- I confused. But I'm all sorted out now." he nods slowly.

"So?" I questions.

"So? Are we back together now?" he smiles. I look up and stare at his smile. It's so beautiful.

"I don't know. Are we?" he gets up and lifts me up. He puts his hands on my cheek and places a soft kiss on my lips. He pulls away and bites his bottom lip. "I'll take that as a yes." He laughs and leans back into a kiss.

The rest of the day is spent making lunch and watching movies and switching ice packs every hour. We talk and tell each other jokes. My mom gets home and she gives us each a pint of half baked ice cream.

"I'm going to so hit the gym after this injury recovery." he looks at me and clears his throat.

"Hey, about that, so your not going to Cleveland anymore or?" I completely forgot about that.

"Oh shit, well we are staying in Houston for a week and a half. I should be walking by then. It's just a laser surgery I should be walking after a few days. So I'll fly to Cleveland instead of the roadtrip and stuff. You ok with that?" he nods.

"If you're there I'm there. So should I change our plane tickets?" I nod my head.

"We'll just switch it from Houston to Cleveland to LA to Cleveland." he walks to get my laptop and changes our reservations.

*Graduation Day*

I woke up early today. Walking straight to the shower, I heat it up, and put a face cleanser mask. I shave, and scrub my body with a body scrub to get a glowing look. Once I'm out I rub icey hot on my knee, change into some sweats and walk to the kitchen for breakfast.

My knee feels so much better, but I won't know for sure until I get the MRI and blood work done. But in the meantime I'll wear a brace and icey hot. I make myself a yogurt parfait and some orange juice. While eating I hear a car beep and then my front door opens
