Match Maker

Chapter 9

I woke up in a very uncomfortable position. It smelled like tree bark and nature.

It took me a while to take in why I am here but then it hit me and everything came flooding back.

Oh god, Mom must be worried sick or not depending on how much she drank last night.

I hope she is still asleep. I quickly ran home without stopping and I'll have to say that was the most exercise and probably last I'll do this year.

***

The house was trashed. It seemed quiet enough to tell that everyone was still asleep.

I went inside being very quiet. I went into my room to get a change of clothes because I was going to take a shower to rub off my tear stained cheeks when I heard a snore.

GG? What is she doing here I would have expected her and Jay to be in the same bed, unless...

I took a few steps closer and saw no one else sleeping with GG which was a relief because I don't think I would have been able to take it. I did not want to hate my sister but I knew that if I stayed in that room any longer I would have yelled at her, I have no right to yell at her though... he chose her.

After I was done with my shower I saw my face and was glad to see that my eyes weren't red anymore and that It was hardly noticeable that I was crying, if anyone asks, I had too much to drink last night.

I began cleaning the house while everyone else was asleep.

***

After about 2 hours I finally finished cleaning and it looked like the party never even happened. I went and sat down on the couch; I no longer had anything to do which meant that I had nothing to keep my mind off of last night.

I can't cry, no, I have to be strong. Are they dating now?

I began thinking about how I was going to get through this when I heard someone coming downstairs.

"Vee I need to ask you for some help," It was GG. I tried to calm down.

"Sure, what do you need?" I asked as normally as I could manage.

"Let's talk outside, " she said pulling me outside with her.

***

"Okay go on," I urged her to ask away.

"Well, you see I'm kind of maybe in love with Jay and I know I've said that your gift of getting people together was some kind of freak thing but can you help us get together?" She asked looking down at her feet.

"Okay, yeah, totally," I said breaking with every word.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh, OMG I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH SIS!!!" She squealed happily.

*** LATER THAT DAY ***

"Hey, Jay can I talk to you for a moment," I asked.

"Yeah, actually I need to tell you something as well," he said as we walked outside.

"You first," he said.

"Well you know, GG kind of likes you and she wants to ask you out and she wanted me to tell you since you know," I laugh bitterly, "I'm the Matchmaker..."

"Oh," was all he said.

"Yeah, so what do you say?" I asked as I look at my shoes because I know if I looked at him I would definitely break down.

He didn't answer instead he just left.

Well, I guess he wants to tell her himself. It is kind of like seeing someone break the heart you gave them right in front of you and then seeing them take someone else's and put it in a trophy case like it means the world to them.

***JAY'S POV***

I didn't answer Veronica, I just left. I went to go find Grace.

Yesterday, Grace kissed me out of nowhere but I was sure to pull back and tell her I didn't feel the same, was she too drunk to remember?

After about fifteen minutes of searching, I finally found her in the garage fixing a bike.

 "Hey," I said as I walked up to her.

"Oh, hey um, did she tell you?" she asked nervously.

"Uh, Yeah and I am sorry but I can't return your feelings because...well... because I am in love with Veronica." I admitted. 

She looked sad then she gave me an understanding smile,"Go for it Jay, I think she likes you too, I didn't want to believe it but I can feel it, She loves you."

With that, I smiled at her and left to look for Veronica.

***

***GG'S POV***

I knew I didn't have a chance with him. I saw how he looked at Veronica. He would always look at her like he hadn't seen her in a thousand years. It's for the best. I knew that him and I becoming a thing was impossible and it's okay as long as my little sis is happy. 

Bing!

I got a message:

"Hey is this the pizza number?"

"No lol who might you be?"

"Some random guy who loves pizza and you?"

"Some random girl who also loves pizza."

"I think we were meant for each other"

I laughed, maybe it was not such a bad thing that I got rejected. I continued messaging the mystery pizza guy.

***VERONICA'S POV***

I was back at my old place near the lake just thinking when I heard someone running towards me.

"Jay? what are you doing here?" I asked confused.

Shouldn't he be with my sister?

"I need to tell you something," he said nervously.

"Okay..." I said unsure of what he wanted to say and a bit scared.

"I know that you've never been in love before and that you probably think I like your sister, but the truth is, that I like you and you may not like me back which I am totally fine with but I just needed to tell you because I couldn't keep it in any longer..." he confessed.

I was shocked, I can't believe what I just heard. This made me feel happy, happier than I've ever felt in my entire life.

"It's fine I'll go," he said as he turned away. 

I stopped him, turned him around, and then kissed him. It felt like something out of a fairytale. It was soft and sweet, it felt like it lasted hours until I pulled back and we looked at each other for a while before I said, "I'm in love with you too."

You can't add color to a black and white photograph but you can add a colorful frame to replace what it lacks.

Phew, the end. Hope it was okay, hope you enjoyed even though it probably sucked lol. Welp, that was it the story is finished and whoever reads it I apologize for the lameness. Thank you!
