One year later

I know what you're thinking. I shouldn't be with Jenny, I should be with Elle. If I was the old me, I would've denied Luke and Jenny and just ignore them. But, I'm not the person I used to be.

I had to accept the fact that Elle just didn't like me. I came to realize that after she basically insisted on me going to the dance with Bethany. I won't ever be as good as Ashton to her.

Elle and I still talk, a lot actually. Well, only when Jenny's not around. That chick is really controlling.

Katy, Elle, and I facetime each other every Saturday. Sometimes even Luke joins us. Elle calls him the better sibling.

I sit up in the big king size bed that I share with Jenny. I stretch a little, my arms extending backwards. I lean down and place a soft kiss on Jenny's forehead.

I stood up and grabbed my walked to the bathroom, but not before grabbing my phone off of the nightstand. I turned on my phone (since it was off due to last night's festivities) and grabbed my toothbrush out of its holder.

I sat my phone on the sink counter and put toothpaste on my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth. Jenny refuses to kiss me until I brush my teeth because of my morning breath.

I bent down to spit into the sink when I felt arms wrap around my body.

"Morning babe."

"Shut up Luke." I said, pushing him off of me.

"You know you love me Michael."

"Yea whatever." I replied, rolling my eyes at him in the mirror. I rinsed off my toothbrush and rinsed my mouth. I went to grab my face towel to dry my face when my phone started to repeatedly vibrate on the counter.

I went to grab it, but I saw a small grand grab it before I could. I looked up and saw Jenny standing there in her silk robe.

"Babe you gotta let her go. She's just gonna hurt you. Long distance friendships and relationships never work hun. She's gonna be the one to forget you and you wouldn't even know. She could be dead and you wouldn't know Michael!" she said, throwing her hands in the air. Luke was long gone, he left the room the moment Jenny walked in.

"Well how would you know Jennifer? From what I've been told you're the one that leaves everyone because you're scared of commitment. I'm surprised we even lasted a year. Tons of people told me to leave you, but no I stayed. Tons of people told me that I was just another fling to you, but I brushed it off." I said, stepping closer and closer to her.

I grabbed my phone out of her hand and put it back on the countertop. I reached out for her hands and interlaced her fingers with mine.

"Jenny, I know why you act the way you do. You've been ruined by someone. But just because it happened to you doesn't mean it'll happen to me okay?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said or done anything. You and Elle just friends right? Nothing more and nothing less?" she said, letting go of my hands. Jenny wrapped her arms around me and held me close and tight, like she is afraid that I'll leave.

"Right Mikey?" she said looking up at me.

"Right Jen. Just friends."

"So we're alright?"

"We're perfect." I replied, pressing my lips at the crown of her head.

I didn't know then, but we were far perfect. We're two puzzle pieces that are trying to fit together; we're forcing it. Jenny was the wrong piece.
