Drowning in Love

Chapter 8: Friends for now

Blair's P.O.V.

It's been a week since the confession I made and I haven't left my house since. I'm currently in my room laying up-side down on my bed stalking my Bae AKA Shawn Mendes at 11:00 in the morning. Suddenly I get a message. It's from you know who.(a/n: haha Harry Potter reference)

Jayce: hey it's been a week I hope I gave you enough time and space. I can't sleep at all it's not because I don't want to it's because I can't. If you feel the same meet me at Starbucks and let's talk.

Should I go? I have a feeling that I shouldn't. My brain says don't go coz it's like reflex action which only occurs to protect me. But my heart is screaming I should go. I'm so confused what should I do? Ugh fine coz I actually can't sleep at night at all. So it's settled I'm going.

Blair: when?

By the time I pressed send I feel super nervous I don't know if I made the worst thing that's gonna make my life miserable for the rest of the time I'll live or I've made the best decision I've ever made.

After a minute, well not actually a minute more like two seconds he responded.

Jayce: later at 4:00 and thank you for trying to let me fix stuff. I promise you won't regret it.

I hope so Jayce, I hope so.

After 4 hours I started to get ready. I took a shower and did all that shiz like I always do and then slip on my clothes. I picked a long-sleeved black fitted sweater, black jeans and my favorite black knee-high boots. Did I mention that black is the new pink?

I got my phone and some money and I went down.

I got in my car and I drive towards Starbucks. When I arrived I saw Jayce at one of the tables by the window and he looked...........well...........pale and he had super black and big bags under his eyes.

I entered the store and he immediately saw me, he gave me a small smile so I walked towards him and sat at the chair on the opposite side where he's sitting.

"Hey" I said quietly

"Hi, how's it going?" He asked in a super quiet voice

Oh let me see I feel weak, tired and miserable and I don't know why. I can't figure out what's wrong with me. Is there something to do with the confession stuff? I don't think so and the clue word here is 'think'.

"Look I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or something I just wanted to figure out if my crush likes me and Jayna said it's gonna be a good plan but turned out like yeah I found out that you like me but I caused you pain and it wasn't my intention to do that and besides we weren't suppose to kiss it was not in the plan she just............kissed me coz Lauren's been liking me for a while and she wanted to be friends with my sister so she can get close to me. And you should've seen the look on her face when we're planning she said she was the one who should do the act coz she deserves it. I don't know what she means there but the point is I'm really really sorry if you don't forgive me it's fine you have the right to be mad at me"He said breathless after he said his long speech.

"Look Jayce........ I.......... Don't know maybe I'm gonna forgive you but I'm expecting the Jayce that I first met ok? Let's just forget the liking each other.......... for now.......... for it not to ruin our friendship will you do that................ For me?" I asked

He looked hurt at first but he responded "ok,for you" he said

Those three words melted my heart to a puddle. I don't know why but it did. He is so sweet and there is no doubt that every girl would fall in love with him.
