The Trip

Chapter 9

Jacob
LA

"It's weird having a friend that doesn't talk to you properly." I say

"Why?" Derrick asks

"I don't know, it's like talking to yourself but not knowing what to say." I respond

"I hope it's not like that between us" he says with a worried face

"Nah, we're not like that. This is like love and it's funny" I say

"Umh funny good or funny bad?" He asks

"Umh lets just leave." I say

We get up from our table, it's been a few days without seeing him and I missed him  so we went out just to talk. But it didn't end up the way I was expecting.

We got to his apartment and I just sit at the sofa.

He asks me, "Jake just tell me what you are feeling, it's like something is bothering you."

"I don't know what's going on, I want you really bad but it's confusing and it's torture" I say without thinking

"Umh Jake?" He says my name with his worried face, man he's just so beautiful

"Yes" I respond

"Is this torture?" He asks

"Yes" I take a moment
"I meant no"
"I mean, it's love and I love you and I want you and I don't know what you want but my heart is telling me you are perfect me and I love that." I say

"But is this torture, am I hurting you? Am I doing somethi.." I interrupt him with a long kiss.

We stop kissing after a few seconds and I say to him

"Yes, you're making me feel special and I love that and it's torture but I like it"

"I love you" he says
"I love you" I say

Erin
LA

Today was so weird, the sky was beautiful and everything seemed to be wonderful, except for one thing.
ME.

"Hey" I look next to Chris when I just woke up

"Hey, good morning" he says

"Good morning, do you want to grab breakfast?" I ask

"Sure" he says, he sort of leans in for a kiss but he back away, he gets up and go to the bathroom.

I get ready and just look outside, I check my phone to see if there any messages and I get a text from Stacy.
Stacy is the ultimate stalker of the school but it's cool, she gets us informed about the gossips and things at school. She made a site for our school just to show that our school is the best.

Stacy: "heeeey guyyyssss, party tonight at 9pm at David Sheimakk's, byeeeee."

She posted it online.

I go downstairs and usually Jake is already up but he's not here, so I think he's at Derrick's house.

I start to just wonder around the house to wait for Chris, I start getting my keys and blah blah blah when Chris comes downstairs.

"Hey you rea.." I get interrupted by Chris kissing me but I back away

"Sorry, I just. Uhhhhh I can't say." He says

"Say what?" I ask

"Say that I like you, and that I want to be with you. I'm sorry" he respond

"Don't be, I just never thought of you that way." We sit down and the table, "when we started being friends I told you that I liked you but you didn't then but why now?" I ask him

"It's just that we've been friends for I don't know how many years and I liked you but I didn't know how to tell you, then you came out as bi but you went out only with girls and I felt worried" he says

"I didn't realize that and I didn't know, I couldn't really find out because you wouldn't give me hints that you liked, why?" I ask
"And sure I'm bi but it doesn't change anything, I still like both genders"

"Well because I was afraid and I liked what you did to me, I could feel my self close to you and I liked it.
When I hold your hand, it just feels right. When I touch your hair or when I mess with you, I like that it makes you happy so it makes me happy and I love that about you." He says

"Umh I don't know what to say" I say getting up

"You don't need to" he says

"What?" I say

"You don't need to know everything, it's cool when you don't, you try to find, and you succeed. That's the best thing about you." He says

"No!!" I yell

"What's wrong?" He asks

"YOU JUST KISS ME AND SAY THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY, ITS NOT OKAY.." I yell again, "I'm confused, I need to go now."

"What?!, where are you going ?
He asks

And I just leave the house and go to my car.

And think.

"Where am I going?"
