-Jack POV-
Since we're all in senior year - we get a week off before our trial exams start. I was happy to get some time off from school. But that meant no more distractions.
I walked to my locker on the last day for the next week. I spotted Jesy walking towards me with Nash by her side. I quickly swerved down the next hallway to avoid her.
This was not the way I imagined I would find my first love. This was not the way i imagined I would fall in love - nor who I thought the girl would be.
Its been three days since Jesy and I shared a very instense kiss, naturally I'm avoiding her and she's avoiding me. Not because it was awkward or anything, but because we both knew it was different. Oh and Gilinsky will flip out.
"Hey - " a voice said behind me as I stood by my locker, thinking it was Jesy, I jumped two feet in the air and bumped my elbow hitting the locker.
"Shit." I whispered when I saw it was just my sister, Brianna.
She widened her eyes. "Okay what's going on? You're acting weird, Jesy's is acting weird!"
"Nothings wrong at all." I smiled and exhale deeply. "Where's Jesy anyways?"
"She's with Nash, but whatever you did to make my best friend act like you, fix it!" She yelled and stalked off.
I just rolled my eyes and walked out to my car. Why was Jesy's weird act my fault anyways? Okay yeah we kissed but its not like we did anything more. No big deal.
I spotted Jesy with Nash and pretended to be mind occupied as I got into my car. I didnt start the engine, just sat there and stared at the wheel.
A few minutes later, I noticed Jesy get into hers and leave. I felt horrible and missed her more now that I think about it. I need to make amends but I didn't know if she would he ready to forget about the kiss.
I drove to the hospital to visit Gilinsky, last night Mrs Gilinsky called to say Jack had a relapse. The machines were going haywire and he almost lost his breath entirely. It scared me and I just had to see my best friend.
When I got there I parked and jogged to a new room where the nurses moved Gilinsky to. I paused in the doorway when I heard Jesy's familiar sobbing against Gilinsky's shirt.
"I'm the worse girlfriend ever." Jesy sobbed harder, her shoulders shaking.
I decided to walk up to the her and place my hands on her shaking shoulders. Jesy didn't turn it flinch - she knew it was me and how I touched her. The sobbing slowed to slight sniffing.
"I can't believe that happened." She broke the silence. "The kiss, I mean."
"I know what you mean." I said.
More silence.
"Arent you going to say something?" Jesy started, a hint of hurt in her voice. And I knew why.
"What can I say? That I'm inl- " I started but was interrupted when Mrs G popped in again. She was always here in case Jack came to during the day - I felt bad for her.
"Hey guys. How was school?" Mrs G asked us forcing a smile. She had a coffee cup and a book in one hand.
"Good." Jesy and I said simultaneously. But it wasn't - that was just a response you say to that question all the time.
"I haven't seen you two together since Jack...well you know..."
I almost chuckled. Trust Katherine to notice that Jesy and I had been avoiding each other lately. Jesy and I looked away awkwardly, this wasn't the conversation I was looking forward to. What if the woman suspected what went down?
