_____________
-Jack POV-

I couldn't sleep that night.

Something inside me just knew what I felt for Simone - something told me that she felt it too.

Early today after having to serve half and hour cleaning up the Biology lab for talking in class - stupid, I know - I could tell she was conflicted.

I hated myself for making her feel confused, like she had to choose between Jason and I. It was messing her up. She didn't deserve that.

But there was also something more going on for Simone. I didn't know what but I was determined to find out.

I rolled over, hoping to get some more sleep. Just as I did, my phone buzzed and Simone's name popped up on the iMessage. I couldn't help but check it out, wanting to know if she was dealing.

"Come out."

I frowned. Was she being serious? I locked my phone, slid out of bed and jogged downstairs. I doubt she would pull a stupid prank - but nowadays she was acting out so I didn't know.

My parents were probably asleep - it was almost 11 pm. The lights downstairs were out, except for the kitchen which I jogged passed to the front door.

Yanking it open, I didn't expect anything except for Cub who usually chills on the porch when I go out for a smoke at night.

But unlike every night - Simone stood on the porch with her hands together, her eyes peering at me angelically. It took everything in me to not grab her right then and kiss her until I couldn't breath.

"Hi." She waved, a small smile on her lips drove me insane.

I chuckled. "Not that I don't want you but what are you doing here?"

"I snuck out." Simone shrugged. "My mom and I had an argument and I couldn't just stay in that house. I needed to get out Jack."

I look passed her. "Wait, you didn't walk all the way here?"

Simone looked back, even there was no car there. I guess she couldn't look at me instead, because I was frowning.

"God, why didn't you ask me to pick you up or something?" I asked. I was overtaken with protectiveness, it was way too late and something could have happened.

"I wanted to surprise you." She did a little dance. She was dressed in leggings and a baggy hoodie, old kicks on her feet. Her hair tied in a loose ponytail.

I chuckled. "Well you got that right."

She smiled at me. I was taken.

A wind blew. "Oh hey, come on in."

Simone shook her head. "Can we stay outside for a bit. I just wanna take a breath."

"Sure sure." I nodded.

"You should probably put some clothing on." Simone said with a laugh and reached out to stop me from walking outside.

In doubt that, her fingers ran across my stomach. Our eyes locked in that moment, the feeling sending shivers down my body.

Fuck.

Simone moved her hand and turned around, a small smile she was trying to hide.
