~Jaelyn's point of view~

*This chapter was written by ApollosKiddoxoxd* I hope you guys check out her account!!

It was almost eight when Jesse and I finally came back to the apartment.

"Do you want anything to eat?" Jesse asked me as he headed to the kitchen.

"Nah, I'm good." I said as I sat down on the futon, hoping that he'd come and sit next to me.

I tried to control my thoughts. The thoughts that I got everytime that I saw Jesse- it wasn't easy to. It was never easy because he gave me chest pains everytime I looked at him. Everytime I remember our kiss...I just got lost in an ocean of thoughts, but I found a way out when I heard his sweet voice.

"Why do you seem so tired?" He said as he took a sip from my Voss bottle.

"Because I am-hey you know that's mine, right?"

He quietly chuckled. "I didn't notice."

I smirked at him, shaking my head as I laid on the pillow.

"So you and Mike seem pretty close..." He said out of the blue. I had a feeling that he was trying his absolute best to talk about anything else and ignore the fact that he actually kissed me.

I didn't even bother to look at his gorgeous face. Somehow, I felt pissed for no specific reason.

"Does that bother you?" I asked.

"Kinda... because I have this feeling that you're closer to him than me"

I scoffed "He's one of my best friends, Jesse. So of course it is that way."

"And what am I to you?"

My voice suddenly rose above the calmness. "Ugh, why are you even asking such questions that I don't have answers to?"

He laughed, making fun of my anger by mocking me.

I stood up, my anger boiling up. "You know what-I don't get this Jesse! I really don't."

"Jaelyn what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? For fuck's sake, Jesse!Please stop. Like, what are we doing exactly? This thing that we're having between us... What is it exactly? This is not 'friendship'. You kissed me so many times Jesse and you don't even want to talk about any of it and I just..."

I sighed deeply shaking my head, realizing that I was making a huge mess of myself. It was never a good way to open up and 'talk' about things that way. But it seemed like making deals with the devil is one of my secret charms. I couldn't wait and keep it...

I wanted to cry. I always cried when I felt weak. When I felt like I had nothing else to say. When I felt like I was making a joke of myself in front of anyone especially in front of him... Jesse, oh God!

I felt my ears getting hot as my eyes began to tear up. My vision was blurry when I glared at him. He walked towards the futon and sat down. He slowly pulled me to his chest but I gently pushed him away, he was holding on too tight. It was like pushing iron with feathers.

"Don't please..."

"Don't what?" he asked making me look at him.

"Don't do this. Don't hug me and act like everything is okay because nothing is okay Jesse. Noth-"

He traced my lower lip pleasantly with the tip of his finger. "Shhh," He said in a hushed tone that made goosebumps rise on my skin.

He moved his head closer and leaned his forehead on mine. "Kiss me." The words flowed slowly. "Kiss me, Jae..."
