Triplets (j.s.)

Chapter 8

*song for this chapter - like that by jack and jack*

Adeline POV

My eyes flutter open as I hear notifications on my phone go off. I groan and roll over, grabbing my phone and looking through all of my notifications. I did have a lot more than normal, but most of them were people just checking in on me asking if i'm okay, others were asking what happened. Some people thought I died, which I wish I did.

I set my phone back down and start to get up. I look at the night stand next to the bed and see a forever 21 bag sitting there. I grab the bag and start looking through it, assuming it's mine, and see the outfit that was in there. I first pull out a cute all black hat. I examine it and it's extremely cute. I then pull out a light gray crop top that was long sleeved. after that there was a light pink skater skirt with a pattern, almost like lace, on the bottom. then I pull out a pair on white spandex for under the skirt. I look back over on the night stand and see a shoe box. I pull out the cutest pair on white sandles.

How the hell does he know my size?

I walk out of the guest room and stand outside of Jacob's bedroom. Should I just barge on in or knock? I find myself nervously knocking on his door 3 times. I stand there for about 5 seconds until I see the door opening.

Behind the door is Jacob with jeans that hang low on his waste, no shirt, and nike socks. His hair was styled up with just, just like yesterday. I look at his face features, noticing that his cheeks were not as red as yesterday.

"hey adeline, I see you've woken up," he says with a nervous laugh, reaching his hand to scratch the back of his neck. I look at him and start to look at his stomach, realizing my eyes wouldn't leave his toned tummy.

"oh, sorry" he says quickly as he grabs a white shirt from his drawer, throwing it on over his head. I saw his back muscles flex as he reached it over his head.

Who knew a simple gesture could be so lovely?

"you didn't have so spend money on me," I tell Jacob softly. not that im complaing though, it was very thoughtful and im starting to think he has a better sense of fashion than I do.

"just wanted to make you feel better. did you like everything? I didn't know what your style was so if you didn't like it I can always take it back-"

I cut Jacob off as he rambles, " I love it."

"well good! are you feeling better? and I can take you home now if you'd like."

"let me just get changed and i'll be ready to go," I tell him as I turn around and walk back into the guest room.

"How old are you?" I ask Jacob. his hair starts to move around a bit in the wind, but I see him roll up his window the slove that problem.

"19, turning 20 in a couple of months. How old are you?"

"18 and turning 19 in May," I respond.

"So you're still in highschool? or are you one of those really smart girls who graduated early?" he asks with a light smile, looking at my side profile.

"no," I laugh a little, "my grades actually aren't perfect. i'll be glad if I even graduate." he doesn't respond, instead he pulls into my driveway and siri says we're here. I start to gather my things and get ready to get out of the car until Jacob stops me by grabbing my wrist. It hurts and I flinch a little, but I hope he didn't notice.

"would you like my number, you know to contact me?" he asks kind of nervously. I nod and unlock my phone, going to the 'add contacts'. I hand my phone to him and he types away, giving me it back soon after.

"thank you for everything," I say with all my heart.

"you're welcome, text me when you feel like doing something you're going to regret, or just text me when you need a friend," he replies with a smile. I smile back and head up to the door, unlocking it with my key and heading inside. I saw that Jacob waited until I got inside before he left, making my heart melt a little. I head into my room and kick off the sandles Jacob got me and plop onto my bed, setting down my other clothes on the floor.

Asher POV

Adeline worried me. she left with a random boy and god knows where she is right now. I know this is terrible, but I feel like lately I've been slowly developing feelings for her. I know she just broke up with my brother, but I've noticed how shy she can get around me.

I get up from the dining room table and grab my keys, heading out the door and into my car. I start it up and start my way to Adeline's house.
