-- One week has passed --

"Emily it's only been a week and jeffrey hasn't replied to any of my texts or dms." I whine to emily.

"Jaz, remember he's on tour. He's more than likely busy." She says.

"Yeah, sure. I look at his posts. It doesn't look like he's busy. He's posted a YouTube video, three vines, and five instagram posts, emily." I say wanting to cry.

"I'm sorry. " She says as she let's out a sigh.

I decide to text him again.

Me: hey jeffrey. How's tour?
Me: you haven't answered me in six days. Are you busy? :/
Me: bye, I still love you.
Me: I'm still going to be waiting for you.

I walk up to my room to see he was live on younow.

He starts his broadcast with saying how much misses people in boston. But not once did he say my name.

"Some shade you're throwing there." I comment.

A bunch of comments are coming towards me now. I know he's reading them.

"Hey jaz. Cindy invited us to dinner in an hour. You should start getting ready." Emily says as she walks into my room.

"Jaz, please stop watching him. Just live your life for a while." Emily says.

I nod. She leaves. I close my door, and start getting dressed. I put on some black skinny jeans and a plain blue shirt. Then I put Jeffreys sweater over.

I begin to straighten my hair then put on a little bit of makeup. I put on my high tops and walk downstairs.

Emily is ready.

"You ready?" She asks.

I nod. We walk across the street to their house. We knock on their front door.

"Hello, darlings. You two look wonderful." Cindy says as she walks us inside.

"Thanks you Mrs. Miller." We say nicely.

We walk in and sit in the dining room. Cindy serves us as Mr. Miller sits.

"So how have you guys been?" Cindy asks.

"Ok, I guess." I blurt.

"What's wrong?" She asks.

"Just missing jeffrey." I sigh.

"Darling, we miss him too. But aren't you excited for when he's coming back? Remember what he did at the airport." She laughs.

"I know, it sounds like I'm going to criticize your son, but I'm not. He hasn't been to responding to any of my messages, but he's been posting on social media." I say.

"I'm sorry darling ." She says.

"It's okay. But I think I just need some time alone. I'm sorry" I say as I get up.

"See you soon." She says politely.

I walk across the street and my eyes begin to water. I run upstairs to my room and begin sobbing. I look at all of our picture all put up across my room.

I cry more.

I text him.

Me: Jeffrey I miss you a lot. I don't think I've ever cried this much for you.

-- 4 weeks pass --

I wake up to 4 unread messages.

Oh hey, we should talk.
Hey answer me!
It's 2pm you should be up.
Meet me at ma house at 4.

I got messages from my friend jacob. It's three so I get ready and start walking to his house.

I knock on the front door. He opens it.

"Oh hey." He smiles.

"So why'd you want me here?"

" I just thought you could use some company since jeffrey left." He says.

I sigh as he leads me to his room. I sit on a chair in his room.

--10 minutes later.--

I'm about to walk out the door to the bathroom until he stops me.

"Can I tell you somethin?" Jacob says softly.

"Sure." I say.

He gets up really close to me and puts his hand on my waist. He pushes me up against the wall as he whispers "I like you."

He slowly begins kissing me until he builds it up.

I try to pull away but his grip is too strong on me.

"Jacob, I have to go." I quickly say as he pulls away.

I run out and walk quickly back to my house.
