jupiter had been up in her room since she got back.
it was 2:47 in the morning, and jack was asleep in his bed beside her, sophia also snoring lightly from her bed on the floor.
but jupiter couldn't sleep. she lay awake, staring at the ceiling that was still covered in those little glow-in-the-dark star stickers from when they were young.
chosen had kissed her. chosen had kissed her knowing that she was in a relationship with wyatt. he had kissed her, as they sat on the grass under the slide she had grown up playing on. he had kissed her, when she turned to him to ask a question, with no warning.
his lips against hers, and everything around her stopped. until she got her shit together and pulled away, jumping up in shock and running from the park as quick as her legs could take her.
she was confused, she was mad, she was questioning every interaction her and chosen had ever had.
but, as she pushed the covers off of her and sat up, hugging her knees to her chest, she was anxious.
what was going to happen? chosen loved her. she loved wyatt. and now, she was stuck in a daze, with no clue on what to do. she couldn't tell wyatt, it would kill him, their relationship, and his and chosen's friendship. but she couldn't keep this to herself.
jupiter stood up from her bed and crossed onto jack's. she sat herself on the edge of the bed and shook him gently, watching his eyes flutter as he started to wake up.
"what are you doing?" he whispered groggily.
"wake up and move over, i need to talk to you."
jupiter kept quiet and got more comfortable, laying down in the space jack had left for her beside him.
"you know how me and wyatt are dating now?"
"oooh is this some jucy jupiatt gossip i'm about to hear?" jack wiggled his eyebrows, perking up a bit more.
"jack this is serious."
jupiter's tone was sad, and jack could tell something was wrong, snapping out of his act and leaning into jupiter, nodding for her to continue.
"i-i need to to tell you something, and you need to help me. i don't know what to do, please just listen and don't say anything 'til i'm done, okay?" jupter was still staring up at the ceiling, her eyes fixed, so she couldn't see if jack agreed, but assumed he did and carried on, breathing in deeply first.
" when me and chosen were at the park, something happened. we were under the slide, talking about... i don't even know, music and shit, and i was looking away from him, at the old playhouse we got stuck in that one time. and-and i turned back to ask him something and all of a sudden... he just kissed me. he kissed me, and i got up and i ran back here. and i dont know what to do. i can't tell wyatt, he'll probably break up with me, and i can't handle that jack. i can't. wyatt is the only boy apart from you who has ever really got me. and it sounds cliche, but its true. i haven't known him for long, but every time i speak to him i have to smile, and every time he touches me i get this feeling. like the feeling you get when your crush tells you they like you back, excited and happy and fucking high but also relieved. just relieved that he exists. it sounds weird but i love him. i'm in love with him. i'm 15 so i don't even really get love yet, at all, but when i'm with him it makes sense. i want to fucking hug him for ever and make him smile and have noodle babies with him or some shit. what if this ruins what we have made in such a short time? and what do i do about chosen? he told me he loves me. but i don't love him and i never will. he's my friend. wyatt is who i love."
jupiter was crying now, still trying to be quiet for sophia's sake. jack had taken her into his arms, not knowing what to say. she had just dumped a load of stuff onto him he wasn't ready for and he had no clue how to help her. but he knew, he would do anything to protect his bestfriend.
"it'll be okay, jupes. don't worry. we're gonna sort this out, just go to sleep and we can talk about it in the morning."
so the two lay down in the bed and decided that all their problems could be sorted later.
as they slowly felt themselves get more and more tired, jupiter still sniffling gently, jack let out a soft chuckle.
"you fucking drama queen, i feel like i need to call natalia now and tell her i love her after your speech"
