GAZE- Jarchie

12- What the fuck?

Without thinking I slowly swim up to him. I press my lips against his and he quickly kisses back. Fuck. What is this I'm feeling? That bullshit about feeling sparks when kissing someone is actually true. It feels so fucking right. I've never felt anything like this before when kissing someone what's happening to me? I don't care about winning anymore all I want is his fucking lips. I hold his arm as we both slowly swim up to the top, our lips still connected. As we get to the top he puts his right hand on my cheek and his other hand through my hair while he desperately kisses me. It was a rough kiss, full of so much passion.

We both pull back breathing heavily while staring at each other. We quietly laugh while catching our breath, his hand still on my cheek. He quickly presses his lips on mine again and I kiss back. We both smile. I've never felt anything like this before.

Suddenly, I open my eyes and see a small figure standing behind him, shit. I stop kissing back making Jug pull away and look at me in confusion as he turns to look in the same direction I am. Both our mouths fall open not quite sure how to react. It was some girl about 6 who just stood and stared back at us looking completely horrified and lost. We awkwardly stare back. Who the fuck is she?

"Mummy!" She suddenly yells. What the fuck? "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Jug says raising his voice as he quickly swims away. "What the hell?!" I shout as I quickly swim behind him. We both climb out the pool and grab our shoes as fast as we can. The girl runs away probably getting her mum, what the hell is happening? "Who the fuck is she?!" I slightly shout as I tie my shoe lace as fast as I can. "Uh, this isn't my aunts house" Jug replies as he quickly picks up his shoes and wig, throwing them out the window. "Then who lives here then?!" I question completely lost. "An old friend" he says while jumping on the window ledge and jumping out of it.

I stand in thought trying to get around everything that's just happened. I then grip my hands on the window ledge and jump up trying to get out. Fuck this window is so high up. I fall back down and jump a second time completely failing again. Fucking hell this window. I jump the third time and manage to pull myself out. I see Jug on his bike waiting for me and I run up to him jumping on the back of it. He cycles away as fast as he can, both of us praying the girls mum isn't running after us. What the fuck just happened?

Saturday 3:15

After me and Jug escaped on Friday he went home and so did I. We haven't spoken since but I decided to invite him round mine.

We lay side by side on my bed while smoking our cigarettes talking about anything. It wasn't awkward for some reason. It was just normal and comforting. Although, the thought of how angry Betty and Valerie probably are right now takes away that comfort. I haven't spoke to Valerie since Friday and I'm pretty sure Jug hasn't spoken to Betty either. I'm guessing that's why there's constant text sounds coming from his phone but he just keeps ignoring it.

"I'm gonna make a movie about you one day" he says, gazing at me. "Really? What's it going to be called?" I question gazing back. "The boy who couldn't hold his breath underwater" he grins. I glare and roll my eyes. "Sounds like a shit movie" I reply making him grin even more.

There's suddenly a knock at my door, thank god it's locked. "Arch?" I hear Kevin's voice outside it. Ugh he always has to pick his moments. "What is it!?" I groan as Jug stays quiet. "Are you just going to stay in there all day?" Kevin questions. "I'm sleeping" I lie making Jug slightly smirk. "Okay? Who's shoes are those in the hall?" Kevin questions again. Jug looks at me in amusement probably waiting for my believable lie. "Uh- those are Reg's. I borrowed them" I stutter slightly sitting up. "Right. Okay" Kevin responds as I hesitantly hear him walk away down the stairs.

"Ugh fucking babysitter" I moan. "How did you end up in this shared apartment?" Jug suddenly asks curiously. "Uh one night I was just really drunk and unhappy then I met Kevin" I bluntly say. "What? So he just picked you up and now you're suddenly living together?" He questions sounding slightly irritated. "No- I mean I don't know I was drunk I don't really remember" I continue. "Seriously?" He raises his eyebrows unamused. Is he jealous? "I think he just felt sorry for me because that night my dad left my mum and I didn't want to go home. Then he just let me share this apartment with him and his sister" I mutter. He looks at me slightly sympathetically and nods.

His phone then starts ringing. He doesn't get it he just stares at me. It rings again and he sighs finally sitting up and taking his phone out his jacket looking at the screen with no emotion. "Betty?" I question. He ignores my question and looks at me. "I'm so fucked" he complains lying back down. "Wish I could just stay here forever" he sighs again. "I can't be bothered to go home to my dad, could I sleep round here tonight?" He questions. "Yeah sure I will go get a mattres-" I start as I get up. "Why?" He interrupts in confusion. "Um oh I just thought I mean-" I stutter. "What? You don't want to sleep in the same bed?" He asks slightly smirking. "No it's not that I just thought you would want the bed to yourself or I don't know" i slightly look down. He looks up at me and slightly grins. "No I don't care, we will both share the bed it's fine" he lies back down. I give in and lie down next to him as we both go into any random conversation except what happened yesterday in the pool.
