The FIVE

Chapter 24- You Don't Get It!

Ansley's POV
The past few days have been pretty weird. Jake has been hovering over Alex making sure that she's okay, neither of them have heard from their lovers and frankly I don't blame them, Derek freaked out which I can understand given the circumstance but Stacy, she saw Jake kiss her and just by the way he kissed her, a stranger could tell that he was still in love with her.

"Hey Jake can I talk to you for a sec?" He nods and gets up. I take him into the kitchen where I know Alex can't hear us and I punch his arm angrily.

"What the hell was that for?" He grunts while holding his arm, I have to say I pack a mean punch.

"What's the matter with you!" I spat angrily, he looks at me questionably.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about Alex. You're clearly still in love with her and that kiss proves it!" He crosses his arms.

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"Anyone could sense that you still love her! Just admit it already! Your girlfriend can even sense it, that's why she ran out!" I shout angrily. He sighs.

"I feel awful! I can't tell Stacy and you cannot tell Alex-"

"Tell me what?" She asks groggily and both of us freeze.

"Um we can't tell you, it's a secret" He gives off a toothy grin and I noticed he's blushing.

"You guys know I hate secrets so tell me"

"We were gonna throw a birthday party for you!"

"We were?" I punch jakes stomach. "Oh that party! Yup, you caught us" he grunts, Alex rolls her eyes. "My birthday is in May, why would you guys plan it now?" She questions.

"I'm an early planner. Now up to bed you need your rest" She grunts and stomps upstairs like a little kid, leaving me and Jake back to talking. "Either you tell her or I will-"

"I can't! Don't you get it? I may love her but I really like Stacy, and I know she likes Derek, I don't wanna get in between that!" He whisper shouts angrily.

"Well you have to make a decision sooner or later so what are you gonna do?" He runs his fingers through his hair.

"I just have to think" He opens the front door and slams it shut, I watch him as he walks away and all I can think about is what the hell has he gotten himself into?
