Chapter 3:

(Same day as chapter two)

Andrew's P.O.V 

I walked to class with Angela on my arm. It was like a dream come true. Almost all of my friends liked her and were very happy for me. If only Jacob could at least act like he was happy for me. Jacob. Damnit What the hell is his problem?! I saw him walking out of the principal's office, again with a distressed look on his face. And from where I was standing, it seemed as if the principal look worried. I needed to know what happened so I told Angela that I would meet her later in class.

"Okay, but don't take too long." She kissed me goodbye and walked away.

When she was gone I went back to watching Jacob and Principal James. Jacob hugged his uncle as if his life depended on it, then said goodbye and started walking away from the door. As soon as Jacob was far from the door, I approached him.

"Jacob, we need to talk." I put my hand on his shoulder but he didn't turn around. " C'mon, you need to tell me what's wrong... I'm you're best friend." He finally turned around. His eyes were slightly red and his face was puffy. Had he been crying?

"We don't need to talk... Nothing's wrong."

"Then why do you look like you've been crying and what were you and your uncle talking about?"

"...Family Stuff." He took a while to think about it which meant it was a lie.

"What happened?"

"I don't have to tell you." Damn, now that was cold.

"What the hell is your problem Jacob?!"

"What are you talking about?" He looked at me with his usually gleaming but now emotionless brown eyes.

"Hmm, Lets see, when I brought over Angela you gave her a death glare when I'm pretty sure she did nothing to you," I exhaled aggressively then continued, "...And now I see you crying and you won't fucking tell me why! I'm your best friend, damnit! So why won't you tell me what's wrong?!"

He just stood there, staring at me for a while now. He kept at it until finally he turned around.

"...Wait, I know what your problem is... You're just jealous... Yeah, jealous because I have a girlfriend now!" He quickly whipped around and looked at me, this time with his eyes filled with anger.

"Yeah, you're right. Completely correct, I am soo fucking jealous of you." Sarcasm rang from his words. "So, I hope you two are freaking happy together!" He yelled and stormed off.

So I just stood there alone in the hallway. That was the first time that me and Jacob truly fought, and it killed me because I couldn't take being the reason why he's sad. I didn't go to class, it made no sense since I was really late already. So instead I went out into the courtyard and sat comfortably under a tree. An hour had passed and Jacob hadn't responded to any of my messages. Guess he really didn't want to talk to me.

Jacob's P.O.V

I laid on my bed, and sobbed into my pillow. Why did he want to know so badly, why couldn't he just leave me alone? Just then my phone rang for like the twentieth time which meant either a call or a text. I let it go to voice mail, and although I expected it to be Andrew, it wasn't. Instead it was Emily so I quickly screened the call.

"Hello?" My voice sounded dry and lifeless from all of the crying.

"Where the hell are you? Why weren't you in class and why do you sound like that? And-"

"Em, calm down, ...I'm in my room and it's a long story so can I tell you tomorrow?"

"Okay, fine. Just next time inform me of your whereabouts, okay?"

"Yeah okay, bye sis, love you."

"Love you too big bro."

After she hung up I began to scroll through my new messages. All from Andrew. I sighed and began to open them.

Andrew: 'U still mad?' 

Andrew: 'I'm srry' 

Andrew: 'R yu in our room?' 

Andrew: 'Please forgive me.' (He used proper spelling for a text... must be serious) 

Andrew: 'I didn't mean any of it...I swear, Just please forgive me.'

I didn't know if I should forgive him or not, even though he was kind of right about me being jealous, but not of him, I was jealous of Angela for being able to date him and to have him drool over her. I laid my head on my pillow and put down my phone. I was staring into space when I heard a loud bang of thunder and raindrops pouring down violently onto the window. I trembled and wrapped myself in my covers. I was terrified of thunder and lightning, so every time there was a thunderstorm, Andrew would always let me sleep in his bed with him. He would hug me tightly and whisper calming words to relax me.

At first it was normal because we were close as friends but as my feelings developed, it became more and more awkward. I held the covers tighter as I thought about how close we used to be.

The door opened and a drenched Andrew stepped in. He gently closed then looked at me. The lights were off in the room were off so only the dark blue lights from outside were able to slightly illuminate the room. The lights made the water on Andrew's face glisten beautifully. I looked at him, I expected a pissed look but instead his facial expression read of sadness, wearyness, and regret?

Once again the thunder roared and this time so loud that I yelped and hid completely under my covers.

I heard Andrew chuckle slightly then a few foot steps towards my bed. They stopped but almost immediately I felt Andrew's bare and warm arms wrap around me from behind. He pulled the cover from over my head and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry..." His voice was soft and low. His breath brushed my neck and ear, it made me shudder.

"I'm sorry, too." I turned and wrapped the covers around him. So there we were, under the covers, hugging while Andrew was shirtless. I wish we could be like this all the time. I loved being so close to him.

"Andrew, I...I-" He made me stop talking by gently pressing his lips to my cheek. I turned red as his lips lingered on my cheek.

"Shh," He turned my head to look at him and smiled. "How about we skip the rest of the day an just lay here?" We were so close, too close, but I'm not going to lie, it felt nice. I laid back in his arms and smiled.

"Sure." We laid down on my bed and slowly drifted into sleep. The thunder had died a few minutes ago so everything was quiet. Andrew was asleep before me, probably because he was more relaxed than me about the situation. I turned as much as I could to face him, which wasn't much because he had his arm around my waist and I didn't want to wake him.

I watched him sleep, his facial features relaxed, soft and calm. His lips slowly parted, his beautifully toned bare chest slowly rising, and falling just as slow. It took me a while to finally stop my heart from beating so fast. When it did, I took one more look at Andrew, watched how his eyes fluttered under his eyelids because of his dreaming. He was probably dreaming of Angela.

I clenched my fist, I wish it was me he dreamt about, not her. I relaxed when I remembered that we were sharing a bed. Well, even if it isn't meant to be, I'll just be glad that I have him. And with that in mind, I finally fell asleep.
