The Documentary

Chapter 17

  jacks POV

  the last few days have been quiet. nothing too exciting happening. i think we are all just worried about daniel and his family. i haven't heard from him in a good while. no one has really, besides beth.

  i'm not too sure what i should do or say to bethany. i need to let my feelings out.

i begin to write and write. not about anything in particular, and not mentioning any one name, but many.
before i can get deep into thought corbyn comes walking right into my room.

corbyn: sup dude.

he walks to my bed and sits down facing me.
i turn around in my office chair.

jack: uhh hey.

i nervously fidget with my hands.

corbyn: you have something on your mind?

jack: actually yes.

corbyn: and what might that be?

jack: okay, hypothetically, what if you liked a girl, but she had a boyfriend and her boyfriend and you were kind of friends...?

corbyn: is this who i think it's about.

i nod my head knowing who he is thinking of.

corbyn: well, if i were you. i'd tell this girl. it doesn't matter where it goes but you'll feel better once you tell her.

i nod my head again in agreement.

corbyn: and dude, daniel isn't here right now. don't make any mistakes.

i look up at him.

me: yeah of course.

i get up from my chair and pause for a second before running up to bethany's door.

Bethany's POV

i hear a slight knocking on my door.
me: come in.

jack walks in.

jack: hey can i sit?

bethany: yeah what's up?

he takes a seat next to me and looks a little nervous.

jack: okay, i'm just going to open up and say it.
  bethany, i have been keeping this in for a very long time and i'm only now getting the courage to tell you.
before i say anything at all, i don't want anything to change from this point on. okay?

me: okay.

i move my body to face him.

jack: i think you are the most beautiful girl ever and i can't describe the feelings you bring me when you smile. you light up my world and i just want you to know that.

i look at him and i can see in his eyes how much he means it.

i hesitate for a moment and feel a strong desire to kiss him. but i hold myself back, i don't want to make any mistakes because i love daniel and i want to be loyal. but before i could think i find his lips on mine and our lips move in sync. i rap my hands around his back as he grips my inner thigh. our bodies moving together. he begins to remove his shirt and i remove mine too, revealing my body to him. i soon realize what i've done and pull away, hiding my body with the blanket. he gets up and we look at each other for a moment.

jack: i'm sorry. i didn't mean for this to happen.

me: i didn't either. it kind of just happened.

jack sits down next to me as we look into each other's eyes. i wonder to myself if i'm ever going to tell daniel that his best friend and i just made out.
