Where the Consoles Lead, The Heart Will Follow

Let me Come Out of the Closet

He was about to walk out but halted "Actually there's one more thing. Just because I broke your heart, doesn't mean you should ignore them. They miss you too Jackie."

Why must everything he say leave a mark on me? I sent out my last email and headed home. Tomorrow was Sunday, the one time a week no one has work at the office." I suppose I could try to hang out with them. But... no. I shouldn't, it'll make it look like I'm choosing them as my favorites out of the company. I guess I can invite them over." I spoke to no one in particular.

"That's great, we'd love to come over." Piped a familiar blonde's voice. "Sorry, we couldn't help but overhear everything." We?

Not only was it Ashley, Wendell and Franklin but Maverick as well. "That's very rude ya know. But how would you guys like to come over to my home tomorrow? Including Conor, excluding Maverick." I heard a dissapointing 'aw' come out of Maverick's mouth.

"That would be great, we'll let Conor know. See you tomorrow Jackie." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her.

--Sunday at Jackie's house--

I won't lie, for my dorm considering the price, it's practically a steal. Its a two floor dorm with a loft and a great kitchen. I really couldn't ask for more. The size alone could comfortably house ten people. It's perfect.

Ding dong

Ah, that must be them. I figured they'd be hungry so I whipped up some snacks like ham roll ups and some brownies. The brownies still had about five more minutes left.

I let everyone in and they took off their shoes by the door. "Ooh, is that brownies?" Asked Franklin

"Yep, though I couldn't find a box of the mixture so it's all from scratch. Don't sue if it comes out wrong." I joke.

"You kidding? Your cooking is daebak!...did I use that term correctly?" Asked Wendell.

"Well if you were trying to say it in a positive way then yes, yes you did Wendell. Where'd ya hear it at?" I asked while sticking my head in the fridge. I pulled out some Cokes for all of us then grabbed the plate of snacks.

"I heard it from some girls complimenting us. They kept on swooning how effortlessly our thumbs rolled over the controls." Conor chuckled.

"Well, I guess it's time to see if my baking really is daebak. Brownies!" I cheered holding up the tray of brownies, of course wearing oven mitts.

Ashley's pov

We have been laughing and talking for a really long time now. Fortunately for me, Jackie had left to go use the restroom.

As soon as she was out of hearing range I began explaining the plan I've been hatching for the past few hours.

"Okay you guys, time fir operation Make Up" I said out of the blue.

"Here we go again!" Cried out Conor

"Oh hush, you know you want some of that!" I said pointing in the direction of Jackie.... wait... "Jackie? I thought you wemt to the bathroom?"

"I did." She had a playful smirk smeared on her face. "So what did you plan for me and Conor to hook back up?" She sat down right next to me with her elbow propping her head up.

"Well.....I was just going to lock you guys in a closet. Now that I say that out loud it does sound like...A BRILLIANT PLAN!"

Jackie's pov

It. Happend. All. So. Fast... WTF?

That little sqirm...she planned this all along? God I'm so proud of how smart she's gotten.

If you're confused let me explain. There really was no need for explaining her plan. Yeah I figured that one out when she, Wendell and Franklin were shoving Conor and I into a closet I didn't even know I had. They knew exactly what to do! THOSE LITTLE SQUIRMS!

So here I am, locked in a closet with a boy. How clichè.

Tick toc. Tick toc

The awkwardness of this is so...just so...awkward.

"So...how's life?" I began. I couldn't stand hearing anymore tick tocs.

"Miserable"

"Why's that?"

He looked up at me as if I were stupid...probably am at the moment.

"Because you haven't been by my side Jackie. Because you haven't been here. And I just wamt you back..." he began closing any space between us then leant down to my ear. "I need you so bad." He said in a husky tone.

I leaned back a bit and got a glimps of his eyes. Those deep and dark eyes. Those lustful eyes. Eyes I haven't seen in ages.

A whole month? Am I reading that correctly? I'm so sorry my readers. I hope to be able to finish this soon for you guys soon.~
