Jewels's POV

Okay so, everyone has been hanging out together for the past week and a half and getting to know each other. We have all showed everyone else in the now huge friend group all of our powers. Everyone has powers that are so cool. We're all in Avery's escape hatch (the one that has a huge room between the street and her lair) just sitting on the floor scattered all over the room since she fixed the lights. Avery's sitting in Justin's lap and talking to the half vampire/half wolfblood boys (Nialler and Harry) while Justin is playing with the ends of her hair. Not fair... I think to myself. I really need to stop getting jealous. Before you ask, no, I do not like Justin. Before you ask your next question, I am straight, I'm just jealous of their relationship. I want to be in a relationship that adorable but the Moon Goddess hates me and won't let me have a relationship with a boy. It's just not fair. I even have a humongous crush on a guy and I'm not sure if he likes me back but I won't ever find out because the Moon Goddess hates me and won't let me talk to him without getting super nervous and scared and run away because I can even say "Hey, what's up?"

I groan and facepalm. That's when I feel a warm hand being placed on my back. I look up and see a very handsome guy sitting next to me with his hand on my back. Okay, so, this guy is just a handsome guy... He's the guy I have taken a special liking to... Wait... Omg, he's touching me! Someone pinch me! Wait! No! Don't pinch me! If this is a dream, it's a dream I do not want to wake up from! I am pulled out of my daydream by the sound of my name rolling off his tongue like as if he had said it a million times before. "You okay? You seem frustrated" is said with an eyebrow raised and his warm hand still placed on my back. It was only now that I realizes how cold my hands are. "Well, it's Valentine's day tomorrow and I still don't have a Valentine... There was a guy I wanted to ask me but he hasn't and I don't think he ever will since with that face, he most likely has a girlfriend... Who isn't me..." I say, which was a huge shock because usually when I'm talking to the whole group with him there, I can't get 2 words out... "So you're jealous" he said, removing his hand from my back and putting it in his lap with his other one. "I don't know who it feels to be jealous but if it feels like you want to rip someone to pieces then feed the pieces to hungry bears, then yes, I am jealous" I say seriously which apparently he didn't catch onto my seriousness because he laughed. "I'm serious Jason!" I say, hitting his arm playfully. Suddenly, he stopped laughing and looked at me "Wanna see who is the strongest out of the two of us?" He asked me with an excited facial expression. "Sure" I answer and as soon as the word left my mouth, I had Jason laying on his back on the floor with me straddling his stomach and holding his hands by his head. I leaned down so my my lips brushed against his ear as I whispered "I win". I pulled my head back slowly and got totally lost in Jason's eyes, everything around us disappearing, it was only me and Jason. I got so lost in his eyes that I didn't notice either of us leaning in. When our lips came in contact with each others, I gasped at the feeling but didn't pull away, instead I went along with the kiss. I let go of his arms and wrapped mine around his neck while his slid around my waist. As soon as his hands came in contact with my waist, I realized what was happened and got worried that it was just a "spur of the moment" type of thing for him because it most definitely was not just a spur of the moment thing for me. I really liked Jason and I want him to like me back. Yes, I want to kiss him but I don't want it to be a spur in the moment type of thing for him, I want the kiss to mean something to him. So... That is why I've done what I did when I realized what was going on... As soon as his hands made contact with my waist, I realized what was happening, froze, snatched my arms away from him, pulled his hands away from me, jumped back and off of him then ran through the hatch door, into Avery's bedroom, up the stairs, out of front door, and all the way to my house. When I get to my house and am inside my bedroom, I plop down on my bed with a sigh and get lost in my thoughts. His lips were so addi- I cut my own thought off. No Jewels, you can't think like that, it was just a spur in the moment, he doesn't like you back. I tell myself. His eyes were so mesmerizing. My teenage girl thoughts are saying. I just wish I could- My thoughts get cut off by a knock on my front door. I sniff the air and pick up Jason's scent. I hear my mom open the front door and tell Jason where I am. I hear him thank my mom and then I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. I climb under the covers on my bed and pretend to be asleep. I hear on my bedroom door and I ignore it, knowing that its Jason. He opens the door slowly, walks inside, closes and locks the door behind him, walks over to my window, locks it, then walks over to me (it sounds naughty but I know he's only doing it so I can't run away from him). "I know you're awake Jewels" He says to which I don't respond, trying to keep up the sleeping act to get him to leave. "I'm not leaving until you tell me why you ran away from me." He states, sitting on the bed next to my "sleeping" body. Is he like reading my mind or something? I say in my head. "Okay, looks like you're stuck with me." Jason said, "Unless of course you tell me why you ran away from me, am I really that bad of a kisser?" He added. I sigh. "No, it's not that, it's just..." I sigh again. "It's just what?" He asks. "It's just... I was worried and scared so I did the first thing I could think of... I ran..." I say, sitting up in the bed so I'm sitting next to Jason. "Am I the guy you wanted to ask you to be their Valentine..?" He asks me, staring into my eyes like if he looked away for a nanosecond he would miss something truly amazing. I simply nodded in response, while looking at my hands that are fiddling with each other in my lap. I feel the bed shift signalling that Jason moved. I thought he had left when a finger is placed under my chin, lifting my chin up and when looks up fully, my lips collide with something. My eyes widen and freeze, I noticed the hair that makes me want to run my hands through it and play with it and realized what was moving slowly/softly against my lips and that Jason still is in my bedroom. So, instead of pushing him off and throwing him out my window like I expected myself to do, I closed my eyes and started moving my lips in sync with Jason's. Soon, Jason's hands found their way to my waist and my hands found their way into his hair. We were so distracted by the kiss that we didn't notice my bedroom door opening and my sister walking in. When she walked in, she came right over to us, threw me into a wall, and sat in Jason's lap. I whimpered in pain when I hit the wall and heard Jason growl at Tessa. When I had gotten up off the ground and saw Tessa sitting in Jason's lap, I let out a deep growl that scared Tessa so bad she jumps off of Jason, and yelled "Mom told me to ask Jason if he's staying for pizza and movie night" while running down the stairs. I look over at Jason who pointed to his eyes to indicate that my eyes were still purple. I close my eyes for a bit and feel arms wrap around my waist and a chin rest on my shoulder, I open my eyes to see Jason's chin resting on my shoulder and his arms slid around you waist. "Why are you so affectionate towards me today?" I ask, breaking the kinda awkward silence. "I've liked you ever since I met you Jewels," Jason paused, spinning me around in his arms so I'm facing him now. "I just didn't know if you liked me back and Avery said to just let fate and the Moon Goddess take where they want me to be and to who they want me to be with." He continued. My face fell slightly.. More false hope... Add it to the book of false hopes.. I say in my head. Jason must have noticed my change in facial expression because he said "They led me to you" then he got down on one knee and pulled out a rose "Jewels, will you be my Valentine?"
