Chapter 22:
AJ's POV:
I felt really bad for hurting Jessi's feelings so much. We've been friends for so long that it'd just be weird to start dating. Plus, I like Ali.
When I saw Nick run outside toward me, I knew I was in trouble. Nick would never hurt a fly unless he absolutely has to. I had no idea why e was so protective of Jessi anyway. He hasn't known her near as long as I have.
That night, I went to a hotel and stayed there for the night. I didn't sleep at all, so around 1 in the morning, I gave up trying. I decided to write a letter to Jessi, apologizing for breaking her heart.
I sat down and wrote the letter. When I was finished, I walked to the 24-hour gas station down the street and got flowers. Then I headed to the Manor.
I have a key for the Manor, so I don't have to wake anyone up. I crept in quietly and walked down the hall towards Jessi's room.
I snuck in, making sure I didn't make a sound. As I peaked around the door, I saw two figures in the bed. I was confused and as I tip toed closer, I saw the other figure was Nick. Nick and Jessi were lying in bed together. Under the covers. They slept together! I was confused, until I put the pieces together. I suddenly felt wrong being in that room with them in there.
Nick is protective of Jessi, he almost beat me up for breaking her heart, and now he is cuddling with her, both asleep. NICK LIKES JESSI! Duh! Why didn't I figure it out before?
I slowly moved to the other side of the bed, towards Jessica. I watched her sleep for a moment, and I couldn't help to notice she was holding Nick's hand. Which was resting on her chest.
I quietly put the letter on the nightstand and walked out of the room, out of the Manor, and back to the hotel.
