 ****Chapter Seven-Cuddling in the Dark****

It was about 12:45 after I finished visiting with jakes mom. He walked me back to my place and invited him in to watch a movie because it was getting really dark and rainy outside.

"You know where the movies are, you can pick one and I will go make us popcorn" I said as I walked into the kitchen.

"You have I Am Number 4?? Can we watch?" He asked.  

"Of course, I love that movie" I answered.

I walked in, Jake was on the couch so I set the popcorn by him and then went to put in the movie 

"Before you start it I have something for you" Jake said. I looked at him confused so he motioned for me to sit next to him."When I was in LA, there a bunch of little shops and I saw this and thought of you right away." He said pulling a velvet box from his pocket.

He handed to me and I opened it revealing a beautiful sky blue gemstone on a silver chain." Oh Jake it’s beautiful. You really shouldn't have."  

I told him as I tried to put it on but failing to do so. Jake, noticing this, reached his hand out and clasped it on. Just that slightest touch from him sent chills up and down my spine. 

"Yes I did. It reminded me of you so I had to get it for you" he said smiling. With that I started the movie turned off the lights and sat next to him.

I could feel the heat radiating from his body. His arm was pressed up against my side. It drove me crazy a how close he was and how he wasn't mine. The popcorn was now in my lap and he occasionally reached over and in those moments I wanted to grab his hand and just hold it. Have him hold me, call me his, be my boyfriend. But I knew he didn't feel that way about me, there was a pain in my heart whenever I thought of that. It’s almost like a dream of us was dying.

~Jake's POV~

About half way through the movie I just glanced at her. Her soft hair was falling in her eyes ever so slightly. She didn't notice me because she was so focused in the movie. She looked like a princess. I just wanted to grab her and kiss her so she would know how I felt. But if she didn't feel the same way I would be crushed.  

She glanced at me and smiled that smile I missed the years I was away. I hated myself for leaving. Knowing she might have been mine kills me. I wish she was. But I know in my heart she doesn't feel the same. And that thought makes me hurt. Every ounce of me longs to be hers. And the sad thing is I can’t be.
