Okay y'all A/N this is my favourite song right now and I think it goes well with this chapter. Listen to it and share it because Jessica Universe deserves more recognition

I was still sitting on the roof. Thinking about what just happened. I didn't feel good. Something in the pit of my stomach was growing and I just wanted to cry, but I couldn't.

"DJ..." a soft voice whispered. I looked over, half hoping to see Colby. It was Alex. He climbed up and sat next to me.

"Devyn told me what happened. I'm sorry"

"Eh, well it is what it is" I didn't want anyone to know how affected I was by this. I just couldn't let them know. I've always been the strong one.

"It's okay to be sad. I know you liked him"

"Well I'm not, okay? I'm fine"

"DJ don't lie to me. You're not fine. I know you're not"

"And how would you know that" I said sharply

"Because your knee is twitching. Your knee only twitches when you're stressed or upset. You're eyes are glossy and I know you're chewing the inside of your cheek because you're deep in thought" I was taken back. Alex. He knew. He knew everything about me. My quirks, my habits, my flaws.

"Well... I didn't know you knew me that well"

"Well I do.. I mean that's what best friends are supposed to do right" he said looking at something far away. All the sudden I was overwhelmed with thoughts

" DJ, I think you need to talk to him. Make sure there's no misunderstanding. I don't think Colby would do something like that to you. The boy seemed like he really did like you... But if he did really do that then I'l bash his teeth in" Alex said as he climbed back down the ladder and into my room. I laughed a little and thought about what he said. I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk to him..

Almost on queue a messy mop of brown hair appeared.

"DJ" Colby said panting and sitting at a distance from me "please listen to me, It was not what it looked like" I looked at him and thought for a second, I slowly nodded for him to continue.

"That was Clarissa my ex. I kept in touch with her a little, even though she cheated on me. anyways we were talking and I was telling her how I'd met a girl, you. I told her about how pretty you were and how funny and smart and kind you are, and then out of no where she said 'but can she do this?' and then kissed me. I threw her off immediately. Sam saw the whole thing"

"Oh... I don't know what to say" I felt foolish for assuming so quickly, but then again I almost don't know Colby really. That hit me...

"What's your middle name?" I asked, switching the topic. He looked at me confused. "Colby, I think we've kinda rushed things, I don't know you... so... let me get to know you"

He looked uncomfortable, he looked different from how I've ever seen him before, almost like he's never let someone really get to know him. I had to break through to him, but he'd have to do the same for me.. We were just two kids sitting on a roof with the stars above us and the hum of a party below us.

"Robert" he said breaking the silence that hung over us "Cole Robert Brock"

I smiled slightly and thought about his name. Very formal, I like it

"How about yours? What does DJ stand for actually?" he asked and scooted closer just slightly. I didn't like telling people my real name, the only person in this house that knew it was Alex, and thats because he forced it out of me

"Next question" I said trying to avoid it

"No no no that's not how it works" he laughed "what is it? Daphne Jane? Danielle Jessica?" he tried putting names together and I just laughed.

"not even close"

"Just tell me. This is about us getting to know each other" 

I bit my lip and let out a deep breath. It was like I was letting out a big dark secret

"Delta Joy"

He looked at me with a confused face. It formed into a smile quickly and he sighed

"That's the prettiest name I've ever heard" he said keeping eye contact

"stop lying" I blushed and hugged my knees closer to my chest. He took my hands and held them in his. We looked into each others eyes and only two thoughts popped into my head.

I think I'm falling for Cole Robert Brock.

Oh fuck.
