Maybe I'm over analyzing things. It's been a week since I told Ross, meaning I'm 2 weeks closer to my deadline. He hasn't helped me complete anything on my list like he was going to.

But does Ross like me? Yes, he's super attractive and I get butterflies by just looking him in the eyes. I mean, the only person I've ever had a crush on was Ethan Monroe, in 5th grade. He was the new kid and I thought he was super hot with his glasses. But it turns out, he was gay. Which is one of the reasons why he moved; because he was getting bullied.

So instead of him becoming my boyfriend, he became one of my best friends. Another one that I have lost touch with.

But does this mean that I like Ross? More importantly, does he like me?

During this latest week, I have gone over to his house at least once a day. From this, I have met Riker, Rocky, and Stormie - their mother - but no Ross. Every time he was either with his friends or at hockey practice. It's like ever since I opened up to him, he's been ignoring me. And I'm not going to lie, it hurts.

I don't understand what's been up. Maybe a call or something! But I've gotten nada, none, zip.

Watching Jake run around trying to catch a frog is a sight for sore eyes. Especially because he's hopping too.

"Jake!" I called, catching the little boy's attention. "What are you trying to do?"

He shrugged. "Playing tag with the frog cause I can't play with you." looking down at the ground he let out a gasp. "Now you made me lose it!"

Giggling, I shook my head as he ran around with his head focused on the ground. Dead set on finding that frog. Not paying attention to his surroundings, he ran head first into a pole holding the swing set, knocking himself onto the ground.

As quick as I could muster, I stood up, making my way to my little brother who - surprisingly - hasn't started crying yet. He has the lowest pain tolerance ever, yet this didn't faze him. Well, right now anyways. In 5 minutes tops I'll get a 'Baylee my head hurts!'

It's his fault anyways.

"Jake? Jake are you okay?" I rushed, getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the back gate swung open. Revealing a blond that I haven't seen all week.

"Whoa there little buddy." Ross rushed to him, setting his acoustic guitar on the ground. "Why'd you run into a pole?"

"I was chasing a frog!" 

He raised his eyebrow, sending him a sceptical look. "Why?"

"Because I wanted to play tag but I can't with Baylee and Daddy's not home." Ross finally looked up, meeting my eye. I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Fancy seeing you here."

He visibly cringed. "Look Baylee, I can explain-"

"I'm listening." I persisted. Ross sighed bending down to Jake's height. Or almost.

"Hey buddy. Can I talk to your sister alone for a minute?"

Jake shrugged standing up, brushing some of his curls out of his eyes. "I don't care. Just no kissing."

"There won't be." he promised. "Not yet anyway." Sending a smirk my way, he ruffled Jake's hair before my little brother ran off, in search of another frog.

"How's your head?" I called watching him chase a cat who belonged in our neighbor - Ms. Jackson.

"Fine!" he yelled back.

"Look Baylee. I didn't mean to blow you off for the past week. My mom and siblings said you'd stopped by a couple of times looking for me." the smirk was now back. "Wanna tell me what that was all about?"

"I wanted to make sure you were still alive! Or didn't flee to Mexico!" I ranted, pulling my jacket tighter to my body. "Why exactly did you blow me off? What is hanging around a girl with cancer not cool enough for you?"

"No, no." he shook his head, running his right hand through his hair. "Baylee that's not at all the reason. Look, I wasn't blowing you off. This past week has been very hectic for me and I've barely had enough time to sleep."

Now finally getting a good look at him he truly did look sleep deprived. Dark circles surrounded his eyes and his hair was sticking up in all different directions.

"Somebody could've told me that. I would've understood! I thought you were just blowing me off since you found out about my condition."

"Baylee I could never blow you off." seeing the look I gave him, he quickly changed his statement. "Purposely."

"It's fine Ross, really. Maybe you should go home, you look exhausted."

"No." he shook his head, walking back in the direction of his guitar he laid on the grass. Jake has made his way up into the tree house, quickly climbing. "I've been thinking-"

"Oh no."

"Ha ha. No I've been thinking about your bucket list and thought about what I could teach you. And I saw guitar." he gestured to the one on his lap. "So I'm going to teach you how to play, come here."

I hesitantly walked over, sitting myself in front of him. Pulling me closer, he put the guitar on my lap, arms stretching around me.

"So since you're a rightie, like me, you'll hold the neck in your left hand and strum with your right." I positioned my hands, trying desperately not to look at him. We were so close I could feel his breath on the nape of my neck. "Good, now this is a G chord." he grabbed my left hand, positioning my fingers onto the G chord. "And strum." I strummed with my right hand, letting the G chord echo through the air. "Great job."

Smiling, I turned my head. We were so close, kissing distance. Ross started to lean, and I realized that I did too.

"Hey!" Jake yelled. Startled, we both pulled away before even touching. Ross ended up falling backwards into his back. He tried not to show the annoyance in his face.

"What Jake?" he asked, annoyance clear through his tone.

"I thought I said no kissing!"

Thought they were gonna kiss huh? It's still a little too early but it'll be coming soon! ;)
