Chapter Twelve

Bailey's POV~

I woke up to the sound of someone ringing my door bell. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in my bed with Jake right next to me sleeping.

I slowly crawled out of bed, trying not to wake Jake.

I went downstairs and opened the front door.

"Hey, sorry I fell asleep. I forgot you were coming over," I said to Alex.

"No problem. What's up?" she asked as she walked into my house and sat on the couch.

I sat next to her. "Nothing, umm just some stuff," I said.

"What..." Alex said.

"It's Wesley... He did this..." I said as I showed her my arms. They had mild bruises from when Wesley squeezed them as hard as he could.

"Bailey that is not okay. Where is he now?" she asked.

"I don't know. He's not here, that's for sure. I ran straight to my room when he let go of me and I wound up falling asleep," I said.

"So you've been here by yourself?" she asked.

"Umm, well no. Jake is here..." I said hesitantly.

Alex had never liked Jake. I never knew why because she would never tell me.

"Why? You knew I was coming over! Is he in your room?" she asked.

"I know and yes he's in my room. Alex, trust. He came here because he heard about all of the hate I've been getting. He was only here to help." I said.

"Alright, fine. It is your house anyways. I just don't want you to get hurt anymore...physically or emotionally," she said.

"Thanks dude. That means a lot," I say back.

Alex smiles and I turned on the tv.

Jake walked into the family room a few minutes later, rubbing his eyes.

"Hey Bay, you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine," I responded.

"Umm Alex is here," I added.

Jake knew about Alex not liking her, and he knew the reason why also. But even he wouldn't tell me why.

"Oh, hey Alex," he said.

Alex looked over at him and have him a slight smile.

"Well I have to go, I have work," Jake said.

He walked over and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Okay, have fun!" I said.

"What was that?" Alex asked.

"What was what?"

"That kiss...are you serious? You're a thing now."

"Just friends, nothing more really." I said, leaving it at that.

Alex didn't make another comment.

I threw my phone on my bed and opened my closet.

I took out a flowy white tank top, dark denim shorts, and my rainbows. I threw my hair up into a messy ponytail and put a little mascara on. I went downstairs as soon as I heard the door bell ring.

"Hey!" I said, with a cheery smile.

"You look pretty," Jake said. I could tell he was blushing, which made me blush also.

"Thanks, you do too," I said with a wink. He laughed and took my hand. We walked out to his car and drove to the yogurt place.

We sat down at a table and started talking. I set my phone down on the table. Suddenly, my phone rang and it showed up as Wesley.

"It's Wesley," Jake said.

"I know that," I said rudely. I took my phone and shoved it in my pocket.

"Are you guys still a thing?" Jake asked.

I gave him a confused look. "No."

The rest of the way home was quiet and awkward. We pulled up to my house and I quickly got out.

"Wait," Jake said as he grabbed my arm.

I stopped trying to get out of the car and sat back down in my seat.

"I'm sorry about you and Wes...and what he did."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

"I know, but I still feel bad."

"It's okay," I said, then tried to get out of the car again.

Jake grabbed my arm again and pulled me back into the car.

"That's not all," he said.

"Then..."

"I like you, a lot. And I can tell that you still love Wesley. But you deserve someone better. I love you."

My eyes stared into his. His hand slowly reached up to the side of my face. Jake slowly pulled me in for a kiss. At first I didn't kiss back, but then I grabbed his shirt to pull him in closer.

"Lets go inside," Jake mumbled.

"Mmhmm" I said, breaking away from the kiss and jumping out of the car.

I grabbed Jake's hand and led him into my house and up to my room.

He gently laid me down on my bed and hovered over me. His lips crashed on mine.

My hands entwined in his hair and I tried to pull him in closer. He broke the kiss to pull his shirt off over his head.

I slowly moved my hands down to his belt. Jake grabbed my hand and stopped what he was doing.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Sure about what?" I asked.

" I don't want to force you into sex like last time. I really want something with you and I don't want you to run off again," he said.

I smiled and nodded.

"I'm definitely sure," I said.
