Jack has been silent for the last few hours, checking his phone every once in a while and staring at the television without so much as an expression. I play nervously with a stray thread from the couch.
As much as I regret my words I don't regret what happened. It's not even the first time we kissed, but something about it was just different. It happened so naturally and it was more than just a peck on the lips. I sigh, my mind swings between 'he never wants to see me again' and 'he didn't push me away, maybe he really does feel the same', though the latter seems more like a false hope.
"Alex!" I look up at Rian who had been trying to get my attention
"What?"
"You alright?" He raises an eyebrow. The three of them are all staring at me curiously.
I nod "Yeah I'm super, I'm just... Super"

I had been pretty sure that we both had feelings for each other. I sure know that I have feelings for him. Maybe it's just not gonna work out that way.
He has cuts on his stomach, fucking red lines everywhere. I did this. I'm stressing him and his family out by being here. I'm the one hurting him. My stomach feels sick.
"Would it be best if I stayed back at my house? My parents will be home in a few days anyway" I ask quietly, not wanting to be a burden any longer.
His expression softens and he shakes his head "No it's no big deal. My family likes having you around"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure"

Tomorrow's Friday. We can make it through one day of school, right?
I plop down on my bed, not caring that my bruised face is smushed against the pillows. Today was exhausting.
"I'm really sorry about the spray paint" Jack blurts out. I crawl under my blankets and try to get comfortable
"It happens I guess" He doesn't respond for a few minutes, must've fallen asleep. Quietly I mumble "Jack are we okay?"
I don't expect a reply. It was a stupid question anyway.
His voice breaks through the silence "Alex, you and me are always gonna be okay"
Those words make my lips curl into a smile. Of course we're alright. I let out a deep breath, my heartbeat speeding up a bit. I wonder if he knows the way he makes me feel. Maybe he doesn't notice that my face turns bright red whenever his name pops up in a conversation, or how flustered I get when he holds my hand. Maybe this is just a dumb schoolboy crush. Who knows.
"You're my best friend" He mumbles and drifts off to sleep.
Best friend. I sigh. Best friends, of course.
"You looked really cute today" I mumble, making sure he can't hear me. I roll over and put my pillow over my head. What a mess.
