Jades pov
I was home alone today. Rose and Kendal were at work and Jase was never home and Caleb hasn't been home since me and Kendal told all his siblings we were getting married

We told his siblings first then his parents and then Quinn (practically my only family member)

I asked Quinn if he wanted to be my person of honor and of course he did

Then I asked Rose if she would stand with me since she was the closest thing I had to a sister

She cried and said of course

Kendal wanted to ask Caleb but he congratulated us and then swiftly left and hasn't come back

We set the date for July 17 that was  9 months from now and Rose already had me looking at colors and cake

I was laying in our bed in my favorite ripped up jeans and a white crop top

Lee the house lady was cleaning up around the house when I finally got up for breakfast

"Hey Lee" I say sitting down at the bar with a water and a bagel

"Hello soon to be Mrs. Anderson" she says with a big smile

I smile too

"I'm so excited" I say showing her the ring

She almost has a heart attack

"Giant rock isn't it?" I hear Caleb's voice say from the door way

"Caleb" I say a little relief a little nervous

"Hi" he says leaning in the doorway

"Alright I will leave you two" Lee says

I wanted to scream no but I didn't

Caleb sits on the opposite side of the bar

He grabs an apple and bites it

"Look Caleb... I know that we made things awkward when we kissed and that same night we told you guys that Kendal and I were getting married... But what was I suppose to say? No sorry babe can't marry my boyfriend because I kissed his brother one time" I say

Caleb closes his eyes

"Jade... it hurts like hell knowing that you could have been my wife as easily as  you are Kendal's... but I blew it by sleeping around with other girls and pushing you literally right into Kendal's bed... you are the perfect girl, beautiful inside and out, funny, smart, strong, but your not mine to kiss or hold so don't feel guilty for saying yes to Kendal he is 10 times the man I am"  Caleb says

I could tell he meant every word he said

I looked at the ring in my finger and twisted it a little and played with it

"Do you regret saying yes?" Caleb asks

I shake my head

"No... I really do love Kendal... but when I kissed you I knew I felt something for you too... and it's just not right to not tell Kendal that I kissed his brother and have feelings for him. I really need to figure things out" I say

"I can tell that you don't love me like you love him... Kendal makes you happy and you promised him the rest of your life to him... not me so don't worry about me I will be fine, I will even be in your wedding if you want me there. But don't tell Kendal what we did, I have forgotten it already it was a mistake for me to do that to you... so I have dropped it" he says
