The Cabin •Jc Caylen•

10. "Just friends"

Jc probably kept thinking I drowned in the bath tub since he kept checking on me every thirty minutes.

I eventually got out and slipped into a nice pair of sweats and a baggy old sweatshirt. As I laid down on my bed ready to just take a nap and forget about today, Jc came in without a knock and looked down at me.

"What?" I asked as I opened my eyes and sat up.

"I have a surprise for you" he smiled. Without warning he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.

"Jc" I squealed as he carried me outside, pass Alice, Cristy and Kian. He ran outside and to the back of the cabin.

"Oh my god!" I giggled as he put me back down on my feet.

"One thing you should know about me.." he said as he reached out for a latter on the side of the cabin and placed it straight towards the roof, "I'm in love with sunsets"

"Well that's good to know.. but why did you bring me back here?"

He grabbed my hand and walked me towards the latter.

"Ladies first"

I looked at him like he was crazy, which he is! I backed away while shaking my head, "no way! You're crazy Justin!"

"Justin huh?" He chuckled as he grabbed my wrist and dragged me back, "live a little Bailey"

"What if I fall?"

"That's why you'll go first, so if you fall ill catch you with my big muscles" he said as he began flexing.

"You mean your noodle arms?" I laughed as he pretended to be offended.

"I'm very hurt. The only way you can make it up to me is if you go on up"

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. He looked at me with pleading eyes and motioned me towards the latter. I let out a sigh and walked over to the latter. I began climbing trying not to shake or even breath. This is by far the scariest thing I've ever done in my life, climbing a latter that was several feet up in the air. I reached the top and sat down not moving a muscle. Jc climbed up quickly and helped me onto my feet.

"What if we fall through the roof?" I asked.

"Bailey stop with the 'what if's' let's just enjoy a beautiful sunset, come on" he smiled as he pulled me to my feet.

"Alright alright" I said as he walked me over to a flatter part of the roof.

We both sat down and just looked up at the sky. The sky was a beautiful pink color that swirled around a light purple color. Together they danced around in the sky, blowing kisses and exchanging hugs. There's a lot people can get out of a sunset as beautiful as this one.

"Hey guys! I know this quality is shit but I'm filming on my phone so yeah" I looked over at Jc who was talking into his phone camera.

"What are you doing?" I giggled.

"I want you guys to meet my friend! Here she is" he said as he turned to his camera towards me, "tell them your name, stranger"

"Um... my name is Bailey Marie Phoenix"

"Why'd you say your full name?" He laughed as he covered his face, "wanna tell them your social security number while you're at it?" I lightly punched his shoulder and covered my face.

"Well I'll blog more later! See. You. Later." He said dramatically as he cut the video.

"What were you doing?"

"It's called blogging"

"You know what? Just shh" I said as I covered his mouth with my hand. He began to muffle a few sentences but I pretended not to understand what he was saying, "what? I'm sorry I don't understand"

I took my hand away to press it against my own mouth, I hated my smile and laugh I just hated it, so the only thing I can do is cover it. Silence fell upon us again as we watched the beautiful sunset.

"I'm not 20" I said quietly.

"Wait what?"

"I'm not 20 years old, I'm.. im only 18"

"You're 18? B-but.. why did you lie about your age?"

"Mother always told me to add a few years onto my age" I said as I pulled my knees to my chest.

"I know you hate when someone brings it up but your only 18 and you're getting married"

I shrugged my shoulders and laid my head on top of my knees. I can't argue back because it's true, what eighteen-year-old gets married? Well I mean it doesn't matter, I like him.. I think I do.

"It's whatever you know? I just know my obligation is to marry him, love or not, whatever."

"Love matters, that's what marriage is all about. I'm 23 years old and I haven't found that special someone" he chuckled.

"The sky is absolutely gorgeous, never seen anything like it" I said as I changed the conversation.

"You're gorgeous" he blurted out.

"What?" I turned to look at him with my eyebrows furrowed.

"You heard me, you're gorgeous" he smiled.

I covered my face as chills formed on my arms, "you don't know what you're talking about, I'm not.."

He took my hand away from my face, "are you kidding me? You're so beautiful!"

"Stop!" I gushed as I pulled my hand away.

"I'm serious"

"No one has ever told me that, that's how I know I'm ugly"

"Well the people you hang around with are blind! You're stunning"

I shook my head while I smiled widely. Getting a compliment does make someone feel special. I looked at him in the eyes and his beautiful brown eyes sparkled brightly, his lips were strawberry pink and looked so very soft.

He placed his forehead against mine, his touch was mesmerizing, I couldn't even move, I wasn't sure I wanted to either. Our noses were touching, I could feel his breath against my lips, sending chills down my spine. His lips were so close to mine I could practically feel them already, I wanted this kiss so bad. I don't know why, I just wanted it, I was hungry for it. I don't know why.. I don't have feelings for Jc, I like Tyler. He's my fiancée and Jc is just.. Well Jc. He leaned in closed and our lips almost touched but I couldn't do it.

I pulled away slowly before we kissed and looked back at the sky.

"It's getting dark.. let's go back inside" i said as I looked away for a second.

He let out a small chuckle like nothing ever happened and nodded his head in agreement.

I was so hungry for that kiss.. why did I pull away? I don't like Jc, I like Tyler. He's my boyfriend and Jc is just my friend. Just friends.
