"you didnt, sureeeee." I say

"I didn't! Those 'hickeys' you saw on my neck weren't hickeys." He says

"What were they then?" I say

"It was from a fight." He says

"I left town to take care of somebody threatening to hurt you, I found him, and he started choking me. My lips were swollen because-"

"Because he punched you." I say

He nodded. "Then why did you tell me
'how would I cheat if we were never dating?'" I ask

"I didnt want you to worry about me. So I made you believe I cheated." He says

"Why are you telling me now?" I ask

"I hate seeing you with other guys. I hate guys thinking that your free-game." He says annoyed

"I hate seeing you with others girls." I say

He smiles. I look into his Hazel eyes and hold his hands.

"I want you all to myself." He says

"I want you, Joey, but I think we should take things slow until we become official." I say

" I'll wait as long as your with me, kissing me, and laughing with me." He says

I smile. Joey kisses me on the nose.

"Y/n....?" Jacob says

I turn around and see jacob crying.

"Jacob..." I say

"No, I get it. Your happy. Just not with me." He says

Jacob runs off.

I try to run after him but Joey grabs my hand.

"Babe..." He says

I knew it was either stay with the man I'm in love with or go and Chase after the man who needs me.

"Yes?" I say

"We have to finish the rest of the haunted house." He says

"Okay." I say.

Me and Joey finish the haunted house and go back to our group. Mia then walks up to Joey and trys to kiss him but he dodged back.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Joey says

"Trying to kiss you?" She smiles.

"Sorry I'm committed to one and only one girl." Joey says, he then looks at me.

"Wait I thought he-" Loren says

"No, something else happened..." I say

"What?" Ariel says

"He got In a fight." I say

"You told her?" Blake says.

"Wait what?" I say

"It was actually me and Blake." Joey turns to me.

" You and Ariel we're threatened and Blake needed to protect Ariel and I needed to protect you" Joey says

Ariel looks at blake. " You did that for me?" Ariel asks

"Of course I did." Blake hugs her.

"Where's Jacob?" I ask

"He said he's leaving early." Harvey said

"Oh." I say

Loren and Ariel come up to me. "Hey y/n do you mind if me and Ariel switch rooms" they both ask.
