Stay Away From My Friends (Jenna McDougall and Vic Fuentes)

Chapter 18

I feel Jenna shifting next to me. I open my eyes and see her laying there, peacefully asleep. She looks so cute. And the morning sunlight shining through the window is just perfect. I kiss her forehead softly and stay there. I don't want to wake her.

After a few minutes of holding her, she's finally awake. Her eyes open slowly and meet mine.

"Hey," she says in a tired voice. I feel my insides melt.

"Hey," I kiss her forehead again. I can't help it. "Sleep well?"

She nods.

We lay there for a few more minutes, not moving. Jenna eventually gets up because she "really has to pee" and slips into the bathroom. She comes back as I sit up on the edge of the bed.

"Can I borrow some clothes?" she asks.

I nod. "Go ahead."

Jenna starts going through my drawers. She pulls out a t-shirt and skinny jeans. She goes to the bathroom and puts them on, cleaning herself up in the process.

When she comes back out, she goes back to my drawers. She takes out all my razor blades and pills. She puts them in a spare plastic bag and ties it.

"No more of that," Jenna says, softly but sternly.

I shrug. She gently grabs my face and looks me in the eyes.

"No more," she repeats.

I nod. "I'll try."

She smiles a little and plants a soft kiss on my lips. "You'll be okay."

We go downstairs together. Jenna throws the bag in the dumpster outside. She comes back in and sits at the table. I'm already in the kitchen.

"What would you like for breakfast?" I ask.

"Vic, you don't have to-"

"What do you want for breakfast?" I repeat.

She scrunches her nose. "Fine. Anything's good. You're too sweet."

"I try."

I put some bread in the toaster and start cooking some eggs. Everything's ready in a few minutes. I put the food on two plates and bring it to the table.

We eat in a comfortable silence. We don't have to speak. We're just enjoying being next to each other.

We eventually finish and clear. Jenna kisses my cheek and says she should get home.

"Come over whenever you want," I tell her, wrapping her in a hug then pulling away. "Need a ride home?"

She shakes her head. "I'm fine. Thank you Vic."

I nod, giving her a small smile.

"Aw, you're so cute," she says. "I'll see you tomorrow."

And with that, Jenna slips out. I'm looking at the door for a minute, smiling like an idiot.

I look at the living room. Mike and Kellin are sitting on the couch, awake. Mike's sipping some coffee and Kellin's smirking. They must've seen everything.

"Did you finally lose you virginity?" Mike asked.

"Way to be subtle," I roll my eyes. "And no. We just talked. And kissed a little."

"Dude," Kellin says.

"Bro," I mock his voice.

"Are you guys like a thing now?" he asks.

I nod. They both let out a high pitched "awwww".

"She broke up with Ronnie?" Mike asks.

I nod again. "He's pissed but they're over."

I tell them what happened after I slipped out yesterday, leaving out the personal details of our conversations out of course.

"As awesome as this is," Kellin says. "You're in deep shit with Ronnie when he sees you."

"I can handle it," I say.

Oli sits up, rubbing his eyes. Jaime and Tony are still passed out.

"What did you guys even do last night?" I ask. "You all look like shit."

"Mario Kart is intense mate," Oli mutters.

I'm glad I missed that.

This was short but yolo

At least I updated. I'm taking the PSAT tomorrow and decided to procrastinate studying with this. Ur welcome.
