RECAP

Josh's POV

And as we walked back to the table to finish our lunch, there was only one thought going 1000 mph in my head. And that thought was: I think I love her.

25) None of us do,

Drew's POV (;

I can't believe I just told her it was okay to be with him. She hardly knows the guy. Why couldn't she have chosen someone she knows better, someone she's been through most of her life with, someone that knows her, someone like me. I can tell myself that I don't like her as much as I want, but I know it's not true. Once you meet Jasmine, it's like you get sucked into her, her personality, and just her person. It's like you become addicted and you can't help it.

This Josh idiot better not screw things up. I know he was telling the truth about not wanting to hurt her and all that shit, but I can't help but feel jealous and pissed off that she chose him. I think that she thinks we all got over our crushes on her a long time ago... but the truth is, we all still like her a lot. I don't know about the rest of the guys but I'm pretty sure that at least one of them feels the same as me, and I think I might even love her. I know that she's scared of being loved and loving someone else. I also know that she doesn't think love exists, but I wish that I could show her that love does exist and that I could finally have her heart.

That's one of the main reasons that Eddie got a girlfriend. He doesn't really like her and that's why he uses anything as an excuse to be away from her. He just thought that maybe if he got a girlfriend, it would be easier to get over Jasmine. Obviously that hasn't been going too well for him.

I kept thinking these things over and over in my head throughout the rest of lunch. When the bell rang, I said my usual goodbyes and gave Jasmine her goodbye hug and kiss on the cheek wishing it was her lips. I know that she could tell I wasn't feeling too god because that's just how she is. She can always tell when something's wrong, even when everyone else seems to think you're doing fine and that you're happy. You can have the most convincing fake smile EVER but she'll see through it and know that something's not right.

The rest of the school day goes by in a painful blur. I see Jasmine in between classes like any other day and I KNOW that she can see something's not quite right but doesn't try to push me.

That's another thing I love about her. If she knows you don't want to talk about it then she won't push you to tell her. She'll wait patiently until you decide you're ready to open up.

Anyways, I'm currently driving to my house. School just ended and we are all going to meet up at Jasmine's house again, of course. I just needed some things from my house.

I'm pretty sure that you can already tell I don't like being at home very much. None of us do, that's why we love Jasmine even more. When we have no where to stay or we're just frustrated, we can go chill at her house and she won't say anything. We are all rich and have huge houses, but those places aren't our homes. Jasmine's house is more of a home than any other place we have.

The reason I don't like being at home so much is because my parents are constantly fighting over the stupidest fucking shit. Same as Jake. Chris doesn't like being home because he thinks that everyone at home hates him. They treat him like shit and sometimes he'll go back to check up on his little sisters and then go back to our REAL home, sometimes he brings them with him. Ismael and Patrick got kicked out a couple years back because apparently they're "good for nothing" and "completely useless" according to their parents. They met at Walmart and started talking. Eventually they decided to move in together so that's what happened. No they aren't gay. Of course they were still too young so they moved in with Patrick's older brother. Problem? he's a big druggie so they try to stay away from that as much as they can. They used to have a problem with drugs, just like Eddie. At home, Eddie has two older brothers and both of his parents. They're all pot heads and if they're not high, they're drunk off their asses. He used to do that stuff with them but then he met Jasmine.

Yet another thing I love is that no matter what you've done in your past, she accepts you, finds the good in everyone and brings it out. At school we are feared and are the big, tough, football players that just don't give a fuck. But at home or just when we're around Jasmine, we are kind, caring, and very protective. We can be ourselves because we know we won't get judged. We've all had our dark days and I'm pretty sure the only reason we've made it this far is because of her.

When I got home I went inside and ran up to my room. Quickly grabbing my other backpack from the corner of my room, I shoved in my laptop, charger, extra boxers, and some more voice changers and such. After I got that I ran back outside and into my car thankful I didn't run into anyone.

---10 minutes later---

"Guys!! I'm home!" I screamed into the hallway as I went through the front door.

"Movie room!" I heard Ismael scream. So I walked into the movie room and saw them getting ready to play a slideshow on the projector screen.

"What's going on?" I asked to nobody in particular.

"Oh! We're setting this shit up so that we can watch some slideshow about the gang of the victim. We should be making the grab in two days, which would be Saturday, so we have to get as informed as possible." Replied Patrick as he finished up.

We all sat down in the recliners in the two front rows. In the first row, it was Eddie, Chris, Pat and Maye. In the second row it was Jake, me, Jasmine, and Josh. Like normal, Jasmine and me intertwined our arms and watched with my head on her shoulder. I noticed her and Josh holding hands and I tried my hardest to ignore them.

We watched the rest of the presentation in silence and everyone was completely focused. It a good thing everyone's taking this seriously, we don't need any screw ups when we finally make the grab.

When we were done, we discussed when we would leave, come back, and where we were going to attack. We decided on leaving Friday right after school, taking him on Saturday, contacting the people that hired us for the job and getting everything with the subject settled in, continuing on Sunday and leaving Monday at about noon and returning to school Tuesday.

The rest of the night consisted of video games, junk food, swimming contests, showers, and falling asleep surrounding Jasmine on the living room floor.

It was an alright way to end the day if you ask me.
