I held my stomach while laughing. Jack and I were at a bowling alley, and he was being goofy as usual. It has been two months. Two months of complete and utter bliss. We've been on dates, I've helped him heal from the accident. Perfect right? One thing is still yet to be clarified.

What are we?

The question constantly pops up in my mind, but it seems to vanish with a kiss from him. When i think of him, my mind goes wild. I just hate the uncertainty of what we are.

"it's your turn" i said. He stood up and went to bowl. After he made two gutter balls, he sat down.

"you're terrible" I said. He rolled his eyes.

"Yeah okay." he said. A guy walked over, and jack smiled.

"Hey man" he said shaking his hand. They hugged and did whatever shit guys do when they greet each other.

"how are you?" he asked.

"i'm good man. how are you?" jack asked.

"i'm great" he said. he moved his focus to me.

"who's this?" he asked.

"this is my friend Lina.. Lina this is Brad" he said. I focused on absolutely nothing else, except the word friend. I gave a smile and shook Brad's hand.

"nice to meet you" i said.

"like wise. i love meeting jacks friends" he said.

"oh same" i said. Jack told brad about how i work in fashion, and we swapped numbers to work together. I was OVER it at this point. i grabbed my purse and made my way to the car, seeing as though the game was over anyway. Jack emerged a few minutes later.

"hey what's wrong?" he asked. I ignored him.

"oh we're playing that game." he said. Still no response from me. We got in the car, and enjoyed a silent trip to my place.

Jack walked me inside. I remained silent. i went to reach for my keys and he took my hand.

"Lina.." he started. I pulled back.

"what did i do.." he said.

"not now jack" i said.

"Lina. what did i do?" he asked.

"nothing friend" i said. Where the fuck were my keys. Annoyance was starting to overpower me. It took him a little longer than expected to catch what i was saying. No fucking keys yet.

"I.. i mean lina we ARE friends" he said. I looked over at him.

"friends." i said blandly. His eyes began to grow.

"we are friends lina.." he said.

"friends don't do the shit we do jack. sorry to burst your bubble" i said. i shot sofia a text, because i knew she was home.

"i.. i just don't know what to call us.." he said.

"sure as hell not fucking friends. look jack i don't know what the fuck we are.. but you need to figure shit out" i said. i heard the door unlock and i faced him.

"i didn't mean friends but.." he said.
"if i wanted to be "friends" i wouldn't have fucking kissed you, or wasted two months of my life on whatever the fuck this is" i said, grabbing the door handle.

"i'll just see you whenever... friend" i said blandly before stepping inside, and shutting the door in his face. Sofia gave me a concerned look, and tears filled my eyes. i walked past her, going to my room and preparing for bed.
