Is He the One?

Chapter 8: I didn't mean it

"Who are you?" Ethan said back looking at him right in the eye. There were about the same height and same bodies, like they were brother. Weird.

"I'm Violets best friend" Jeremiah said acting protectively.

"Jer calm down." I scowled.

"Oh your Ethan I'm assuming, the one who was Violets knight and shinning armor?" Jer said rolling his eyes.

"Stop." I said to him firmly.

"Well she was getting followed by some drunk guys so I figured I'd step in and help her yes." He stated back.

"Okay. Well we have to go concert is over anyway." Said Jeremiah tugging on my arm.

"I'll text you later!" Called Ethan and he winked and turned around.

Jer froze. "Seriously Violet?"

I rolled my eyes and walked away from him.

Then I spun back around "you can't do that Jeremiah you can't act like my boyfriend because your not"

He just sat there stunned.

"Wow okay." He said hurt.

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.

"Lets go..." Jer said and walked in front of me with his hands in his pocket.

"Jer." I said and he didn't respond.

We got to the car and he opened the door for me and didn't make eye contact.

I took his face in my hands and he wouldn't look at me.

So my hands dropped and I got in the car. I didn't think saying that would hurt him or I wouldn't of said it.

On the way home nothing was said for about an hour.

I was racking my brain trying to think of something, but I had nothing.

Why would he react like that? Like he cares that I would say that.

Don't put stuff in your head Violet he doesn't like you, he was just surprised.

I turned the music down.

Finally I said something "Jer..." I trailed off.

"Why are you upset with me." I blurted out.

"I'm not, okay! Just leave it! I don't even care." His voice softened.

"I'm just...." he said looking at the road the whole time.

"What?" I said back.

He didn't respond and neither did I I just starred at him.

Finally I looked out the window letting some tears escape.

We were almost home and we could just not remember this tomorrow I thought to myself.

Then we reached the house.

I looked over at him and then he opened his mouth and I waited but then he just looked the other way.

So I got out of the car and paused, "thanks for tonight Jer." Then I shut the door.

I felt so bad, he was so mad, but why?
