DYLANS POV

"Oh my Gosh ,Oh my Gosh,OH MY FUUUUCKING-" I stop myself before I feel like I'm going to pass out. It was just a kiss on the forehead, but holy shit it was amazing. I had to drive away as fast as I could before I couldn't resist the urge to run back in that house and do it again.

After taking a few deep breathes I start to realize it's no use and pull over before I go completely insane. Something Ive done a billion times before but for some reason it meant so much more now that I had it in my mind that she was my girlfriend and not just Jade my best friend.

"Whooooa, calm down Dylan. You're fine, it was just a kiss." I say to myself, shaking my sweat palms around to dry them off.

After finally being able calm myself down a little, I decide I need to start thinking about what I'm really getting myself into, or gotten myself into. Jade is my girlfriend. MY girlfriend.

"My girlfriend." I repeat again out loud. With everything going on and my mind running wild with all the 'answers' to jades questions, I hadn't really thought about the fact that Jade was mine, no one else's.

Not his.

But fuck they did a lot of things together. Why did they have to spend every waking moment together and make so many damn memories?

How was I supposed to compete with it all?

"It's okay Dylan" I tell myself. "You're going to be fine, just ... Come up with a plan? Yes! A plan! That's what you're going to do, yes.. Okay." I pause thinking.

I probably look crazy talking to myself but I'm sure everyone does it sometimes. Or at least think they do.

After what feels like an hour of starring out the window of my jeep, I sigh heavily realizing I don't have anything at all. How was I supposed to do this? Why couldn't we have just been those bestfriends that secretly love each other and then when one of us admits it to the other, their eyes glow or whatever the fuck eyes do when someone's happy and they live happily every after and shit?

Wait?! That would make perfect sense wouldn't it? I mean what if Jade liked me this whole time like I did, but she was too afraid to tell me because she thought I didn't feel the same and it would ruin our friendship?

"Who am I kidding?" I say aloud hitting the stirring wheel in frustration.

If she liked me she wouldn't have waited this long to tell me. And she sure as hell wouldn't have fallen for someone else.

"But maybe it doesn't have to be like that. I've already made it this far, I should keep trying. I mean I'm not that bad, I can get her to fall in love with me." I say with a little less confidence then I needed to.

She doesn't even remember him, and even if she did, she hates him.

She even mentioned it to her mom when she was packing all their things in a --

"BOX!" I scream, startling myself. "FUCK!" I say panicked. That dumb box. How could I forget it? she's going to see everything he's ever gotten her and all the pictures they've taken. God they took so many damn pictures.

Starting my car again I turn back around, stopping when I realize that I must've gotten distracted while driving because I have no idea where I am.

"Fucking perfect!" I yell. Picking up my phone too check the time, it read 11:30.

"Damn was I really sitting there for that long? Time really flew by-- focus Dylan!" I say cutting myself off. I really need to stop getting so distracted.

"Okay think, maybe she already went to sleep? yeah she seemed tired maybe she's asleep right now and didn't even see the box. I'll just sneak back into her house and get it, yeah that what I'll do!" I say turning the car around once again to get back on the main road.

I curse again at myself when I realize I am by 'Super Target', which is about 2 hours away from Jades house.

"Great."

------------

After what seems like 5 hours instead of 2 I finally make it to Jades house. I make sure to park on the side of her house just incase her parents are awake, Jade has mentioned how her mom likes to stay up to read these romance novels so I shut my door quietly and make my way over to the front door.

The porch light is broken which makes it harder for me to find the spare key they keep in the rose pot next to the front door. Finally picking it up and brushing the soil off I gently slide the key into the front door and turn it. The door immediately unlocks and I have to catch it before it swings open and hits the wall. That's something I've always hated about this door, you could barely tap it and it would still push open as if someone kicked it in.

Slowly closing the door back up, I stop to listen for any movement. When I don't hear anything I cautiously head up the stairs avoiding the areas that creak. I stop again when I hear water running and look over to see that someone is in the bathroom. Debating on wether or not I should run back out and just try again later, I remember that Jades parents have their own bathroom which means she's the one in there.

I make my way over to the bathroom door and press my ear to it in hopes that the running water is coming from the shower. When I realize it is I sigh in relief,Jade usually takes awhile in the shower which gives me just enough time to slip in and out of her room with that box.

I open her door fast to avoid it creaking and waking up her parents. I glance around the room and see that it's a little messier before, I try not to let it bother me knowing that there is chance she could've already seen the box, and walk over to the closet. Opening it I glance around in search for what I'm looking for. My eyes land on the box and I quietly thank God that Jade is too short to push it to the back of the shelf, and I easily pick it up. Chuckling to myself when I see the word 'ASSHOLE' written on the side of the box.

My breathing hitches when I hear the sound of a door opening and one of the cabinets in the hallway being opened and closed.

"Shit, how I'm I supposed to get out of here?" I whisper to myself, looking down at the cardboard box in my hands. My eyes dash over to the window seeing the lock was still broken. I roll my eyes at the thought of him coming through that window, and without a second thought I open it and jump.

I wince when I hit the ground, without anytime to let the pain hit me I quickly stand up and steady myself before limping back to my car and driving off.

A/N

Again, not my best and a little confusing because I've decided to change so much about Dylan and jade, so just go with it. The point is he needs to get the box, and before i decided to re edit they had still been best friends and she was venting to him about how much she hated Harry while she was putting all of their couple shit in a box.

Ps: yes this is also a Harry styles fan fiction I promise he's coming soon :)
