"Today was unbelievable!" I exclaimed as I pulled off my flats and fell onto my bed. May sighed next to me and leaned her head back on the back of my bed. I looked up to see her staring down at me with a strange look in her eyes.
"What?" I asked her slowly.
"Tell me Daina, honestly, who do you want? Jacob... or H-"
"Don't even finish that sentence M. You know I want Jacob."
"It's not about what I know Dain, be honest with yourself here. Heck don't even reply to my question, just think about it with your heart open." She placed her hand in mine and squeezed.
I looked down at our joined hands and closed my eyes. What did she mean? Where was all of this coming from? And why, did I have to even think about it?
"Why are you bringing this up?"
"Well because of today." She stated, shrugging her shoulders.
"What about today?" confusion was clear in my voice.
"Don't tell me you didn't notice?" She practically gasped as she sat up straight.
"What..? What are you talking about?" I narrowed my eyes at her and she suddenly started laughing.
"No way. This is so like a wattpad story!" She giggled. I shoved her hard and gave her a glare. "Today, Harry and Jacob were the whole time, staring each other down, practically about to pounce on each other!" She screamed and sat up on her knees, slightly bouncing on the mattress.
"What?!" I exclaimed. "No. Nope. No way. Why would that even be true? Harry wants nothing to do with me and Jacob doesn't care about him."
"Could you be any dumber?" She laughs in my face and her words feel like a slap to my face. She notices the shift in my attitude and immediately pulls me into a hug. "I'm so sorry Daina, I didn't mean that. I just meant, you're so oblivious to what's going on around you!"
I looked up at her and raised my right eyebrow, urging her to keep talking. She sighed and sat back down on the bed, pulling me down beside her.
"Look Harry doesn't not want anything to do with you. Definitely not. He is still totally into you and you just haven't seen it yet. He's been hiding it well but today he let his wall drop and everything suddenly made sense to me. The way he's been treating you- meanly, with attitude... it's all because he still loves you but he's been trying to move on because he thinks you have."
"What do you mean 'thinks'? I HAVE moved on!" I start but she silences me by putting up her hand.
"And Jacob. He's no dumb kid. He knows all this. He sees Harry as a huge threat because he knows Harry still loves you and wants to get you back and he knows that Harry has the advantage because of your history and your chemistry together. That's why he doesn't want Harry around and everything that you do that is in any way related to Harry, it feeds Jake's insecurity."
"But... May. He doesn't have to feel this way. Because Harry doesn't have any advantage there. Our history, it's not an advantage. It's just... history."
"And you're absolutely sure about that?"
"One hundred percent." I state and give a curt nod. She smiles and takes a piece of my hair in her fingers and begins curling it.
"Well then, you need to convince Jake of that."
