Secret Neighbour

Chapter 18 - Locked out

Erika's POV:

It was now 3am and me and Jake were still on the roof looking into the city of LA. I yawn "You tired?" "Yeah I might head in now" I say getting up and over the wooden platform to my roof. I slowly get onto the ladder and head down. I reach the window and try to nudge it open but it was jamed shut."Fuck!" I whisper but shout at the same time "You okay?" asks Jake in the middle of getting inside his room "My erm..My window is jammed and I can't get in" I say still trying to open it but quite enough so my mom wouldn't hear nor my siblings. "Hold up Ima help you" Says Jake climbing over to my side and going dowm my ladder while I was still on it. He attempts to nudge it open several times but no luck "There is no way you are getting in" I sigh "What do I do then?" I ask "Come over to my house for tonight and then go through your front door in the morning and make an excuse that you went on a run or something" he suggests. I think for a bit "Okay" I follow after Jake climbing my ladder up then over to his roof and then down into his window. I drop into his room and fix myself while looking around. His room is different than I imagened it to be,Lots of photos of him and his mom and brother and some with him and his dad. "Im a family type of guy" He says "I see" I say picking a photo up of him and his father "Dad?" I ask holding it up with my eye brows raised "Yeah..My parents are divorced" he says "Same here" I state. I lay the photo frame down and then wonder where I would sleep as Jake speaks up "So I will sleep on the floor and you take the bed" I look at Jake "No,Ill take the floor its your bed" I say "Erika." "Jake." I say crosing my arms "Why not both of us sleep on the bed" Jake looks at me "You sure?" "Yeah". Jake walks over to the bed and lays under the covers and pats the other side to signal me to come in. I get in a we look at each other in the eye "Not as bad right?" I chuckle "Erika you mean so much to me" says Jake with a smile. I sit up "Jake,In the note you wrote me in the not book you wrote love Jake,what did it mean?" Jake sits up "It means erm...erm" he stuters "Jake? just say it" I say "Well for a while I have felt different about you and I still don't know what it means but its something I haven't really felt" I look at Jake as he can't really get the words out. "I feel somethng too but not sure what it is Jake,but Im scared if it is something like love...we might ruin our freindship" Jake nods "Lets just sleep Erika,We have school tomorrow" as he said that we both layed down and Jake pulled me in into him and had hisi arms around me. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
