Tessa's POV:
It was the end of the school day and I still haven't find Ethan yet. I asked Grayson and he said that he hasn't answered any of his calls. He gave me a hug and I walked away. I got a text from Jake.

Text:

Jake: "don't forget about the project"

Tessa: "I didn't"

End of texts.

I totally did forget about the project that we had to work on after school. My mind was only on Ethan.

I was walking out to my car to drive to Jake's place when a group of people stopped me and asked.

Random person: "are you going to your boyfriend, Jake's house" they laughed.

Tessa: "what? And did you just say boyfriend?" I laughed.

They showed me a picture my head on Jake's shoulder and his head on mine.

Tessa: "fuck! He's not my boyfriend!" I said running away in frustration.

I jumped in my car and raced over to Jake's house.

I banged on his front door.

He opened up.

Jake: "I was coming, geez, chill"

Tessa: "what's this?" I said showing him the picture.

Jake took my phone out of my hand and looked at the picture in confusion. At that same moment I got a text.

Jake: "you got a text" he said handing me back my phone.

Tessa: "from who?"

Jake: "Ethan, with heart eye emojis and a few hearts" he smirked, teasing me.

I grabbed the phone with a smile on my face as he laughed.

I opened the text finally getting to hear from him again.

The texts.

Ethan: "we're done"

Before I could respond he blocked my number. He also blocked me on every social media platform.

A tear rolled down my cheek as I read the text. I dropped my phone.

Jake: "what's wrong? Everything alright?" He asked concerned.

Tessa: "Ethan just broke up with me" I mumbled.

Jake: "fuck, it's my fault, come here" he said pulling me into his chest for a hug. I sobbed harder because his hugs reminded me of Ethan's.

Jake: "it's okay, it'll get better, I promise, picky promise" he said holding out his pinky finger.

I pinky swore with him and he carried me up to his room to start the project.

Jake: "here's what, I do the project, you watch, deal?"

Tessa: "what, no, why?"

Jake: "because I feel bad, this is all my fault, the reason your hurting right now and I've caused you to hurt a lot, not just this time but a lot in the past and I'm sorry.

Jake's POV:
She was siting on my bed and I was sitting on the floor right by my bed. She pulled my head into her chest and hugged my head. I smiled, I never shared a moment like this with her before, I was missing out!

Tessa: "let's get this project started, together"

I smiled.

We stayed the project and a while into it we bumped heads. Tessa cringed at the pain but we stayed like that for a while. We stared into eachothers eyes in silence. It was getting kinda awkward so she broke the silence while our heads were still pressed against eachother.

Tessa: "so uh-um th-the projects coming along good" she said slowing pulling her head back.

Jake: "y-yea it is, i-it really is" I smiled.

I gulped.

Then Tessa got got a text, again.

Tessa: "its Grayson, Ethan's brother" she said aloud.

I placed my hand on her shoulder and looked her in her eyes.

Jake: "if he tells you shit, hand me the phone" I said and he shook her head yes.

Texts.

Grayson: "how could you?"

Tessa: "I didn't cheat!"

Grayson: "you can't lie to me! I know your at Jake's house right now!"

Tessa: "its for the physics project I told you guys about the other day!"

Grayson: "I don't but it Tessa!"

Tessa: "just let me explain, can I call you later?"

Grayson: "don't"

He as well blocked me.

End of texts.

I could see tears forming in her eyes. I never really stopped to realize what I put Tessa through for so long. I'm a terrible person and I do t think I could ever forgive myself for that. She sat up on my bed and I did the same.

I turned to face her and she tried to look away, I knew she was embarrassed and didn't want me to see her cry but I didn't care if she cried Infront of me.

I placed my hand on her cheek and turned her head to face me. A tear rolled down her cheek but my thumb was there to wipe it away. I moved my thumb back and forth on her cheek. Our faces were only inches away from eachother.

Jake: "don't cry" I whispered softly.

She didn't respond. She just sniffled.

She placed her hand on the back of my head and it just kind of fell into place like a puzzle. Before we knew it, our lips were smashed onto eachother. We made out for a while but hen she pulled away wiping her mouth gently.

Jake: "w-what's wrong?"

Tessa: "Jake your dating Erika, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed you" she said backing away.

Jake: "I kissed you"

Tessa: "nope, I'm pretty sure I kissed you and I'm sorry"

Jake: "but didn't I kiss back? Don't be sorry, if I didn't like it, I would've pulled away, but I didn't" he said smirking.

Tessa: "I better go, it's been a long day for me"
