Hello readers.
Holy Crap! I apologise deeply for the massive delay in updating, I'm so useless I know, you don't need to remind me ;) I don't know why I haven't updated? maybe because I think I needed a break from writing for a while, but I think I'm really gonna get right back into it again even if I'm not that great of writer anyway :)
Please once you've read this give it a Vote/Comment, I'll love you forever ;)

HATTIES POV
***
I miss the next two days of school, afraid of what the end result will be if I come into contact with Jai.
I lay on my bed, in silence, all alone. I twiddle my thumbs in boredom making no other movements other than frequent blinking of my eyelids.
Constant flashbacks keep rolling through my head from two days ago. The 'what ifs' flooded my brain
'What if I had let him kiss me?'
'What if I had stayed longer?'
'What if I wasn't such a coward?'
By this point, I thought streams of endless tears would've been rolling down my cheeks, a constant flow a water flowing from my ducts, but I had nothing, not even a single drop.
Why did I even waste my sobbing on a boy I hardly knew, or even felt any emotion towards? God I'm stupid. And to think that he probably doesn't feel the same way towards me as I do him. What's wrong with me?

JAIS POV
***
The last two days at school had been a complete blur. I had nothing but scenarios blocking my mind, such as 'what did I do wrong?' and 'did I come in too early?' it was driving me crazy.
"Jai, what's wrong with you? you've been acting so strange, I'm starting to worry" Beau, being the older brother he is expresses his concerns towards me.
"Girl troubles" I sigh and pull out my phone not making eye contact with Beau.
"@JaiBrooks1: Why can't I do anything right?"
I tweet my frustrations instead of expressing them aloud.
"well, you gonna elaborate on that?" Beau smacks me on the back encouragingly.
"Rather not" I keep my words short and simple, not wishing to express myself anymore.
"Suit yourself then, I'll leave you alone" Beau leaves, not another word escaping his lips.
This which gives me an idea, I have to see her. I slip on some Converse and a hoodie and head towards the door.

HATTIES POV

As I stand before his front door, I take a deep breath in and out
"Don't be a coward"
I whisper to myself. I slowly raise my arm,
"Hattie?"
"Jai!"
***
After several occasions of awkwardness and silence sitting on the couch we finally break into conversation.
"Why did you run away?" Jais tone becomes seroius
"Because I didnt know I could have feelings for a boy the way I do about you. So running away seemed like the only thing I could do" I felt my shoulder blades clenching together tightly.
"You have feelings for me? But you cant, its not how it works" he swallows heavily
"Because we come from two completely different worlds? Because you're the good one and Im the bad one and..." he interrupts
"Can we just start off by being friends? Or am I not cool enough for..." I interrupt
"Friends"
We hug out our differences and he kisses me softly on the cheek.

"You call yourself Fat Amy?"
"Yeah, so twig bitches like you dont say it behind my back"
Jai and I share laughs (sounds corny as) as we watch 'Pitch Perfect' together on our movie 'date' we planned for later on in the week.
"Where are you?" I get a text from Tayla
"Im At Jai's. Whys that?"
"We made plans to have a movie sesh tonight. But It seems you're already busy"
Fuck.
"Oh shit Im so sorry, it completely slipped my mind. How can I make it up to you? We can do anything"
"Inviting me with you next time"
"Are you sure you wont feel third wheeled or anything?"
"You said anything ;)"
"Do you mind if Tayla comes over as well tomorrow? I kinda forgot about our plans tonight so I promised her we could do anything" I ask Jai worringly
"Uh, sure. Whats one more to the party yeh?" he places his hand on my thigh and smiles.
The rest of the night I couldnt concentrate properly except for what Tayla could potentially do to ruin my life in the next 24 hours.
