Hidden Love

-Rose's U pov-p

I'm home alone. Mom went to work and dad is on a four-month business trip. He left last week. My neighbor, also a long-time best friend, Jasper said he'd come over around 10. It's 9:47 a.m.
The doorbell rings and I figure it's Jasper so I go to open the door. He comes in and we go up to my room to hang out. We get comfy on the bed and turn on the TV. We were binge watching American Horror Story the other day so we continue to watch it. We are on season 4 episode 7. "How's everything going so far?" I ask gazing into his eyes trying to have a somewhat real conversation. "Good, how about you? Has your mom said anything since your fight?" Jasper said looking down at me. "No," I said, "she won't even look at me." Tears welled up in my eyes, but I refuse to let them drop. "Rose..." He said pulling me close, "you can't blame yourself for standing up against her. She has done enough emotional and mental abuse." He said holding me in a hugging position. "Jas?" I look up at him with my glazed eyes. "Yes Rose?" He says. "Thank you for being here... I really appreciate it." "Rose, you don't have to thank me for caring about you." He smiles looking down at me. I look at his light blue, almost gray, eyes. And his smile. God damn that smile. And how his hair looks so perfect from wherever it lays. How did I get so lucky to have him be my neighbor? "Rose?" Jasper says snapping me or of my daydream. "Yes Jasper?" I say softly. "W-what are you thinking about? You were staring at me for a while." He said with that smirk and playful eyes. "N-nothing Jas. Why?" I said. "Oh. Nothing I guess." He says looking away and without a smirk on that sweet face of his.
I wish he knew how I felt about it. About him. How much he means to me. How has shaggy brown hair looks absolutely perfect on him. How are height difference is a big enough difference to be perfect when we hug. Or how he cares for me. Especially when I have no one else to lean on. Jasper was the only one I've ever had to talk to when I argue with my mom. Or when I just couldn't sleep. He was there.
