We were driving through when Aston spoke up "So why were you at the party?" I look at him "To Party,Why else?" I say nervously "No you weren't, you were looking for someone, I know it" he smiles "Fine, I was looking for my sister, she snuck out the house and me and Jake..Well the guy in the back seat followed her" he giggled "Over protective sister I see" I smile towards him as he looks back and smiles back. "Hey" I hear a faint voice say in the backseat "Jake" I say as I look back at him "Where am I?" He says looking confused "Nearly home buddy" says Aston.We Arrived home, me and Aston stepped out the car to carry Jake out "Here is my number" Aston grabs my phone out my hands "If you ever need anything or maybe just to talk,Call me or text me" he says as a smile grows on my face "Thanks" I reply slightly blushing. So you know I've seen Aston about but we haven't really spoken.. he is from the popular group of people in our school and I always thought he as a dick but he doesn't seem like he is one. We go and open the door and each grab one of Jakes arms and lead him to my house. We reach the door as Jake slowly begins to walk properly on his own "Im fine guys" he says "No Jake you are not" I open my door and sit him down on a little bench that sat beside the front door. I shut the door behind him and stand face to face with Aston "So you okay with him?" He looks at me "Yeah,Im just gonna clean him up" he nods his head "Are you two like dating or something?" "Oh me and Jake? No we are just friends" I say looking at him even though I feel that me and Jake will be more than friends sooner or later. "Well Ill see you around yeah?" "Yeah" I say back as Aston begins to leave my porch and I enter my house to find Jake standing up and beginning to walk out the door as I stopped him in the last second. "Erika Im going home" he says in a faint voice "No you are not, come on I gotta clean you up" I hold Jake by his hand and Take him upstairs as quietly as possible so my mom wouldn't hear. We got to the door as I pull the handle down and push it open as Jake stumbles along behind me "Oh shit" says Jake as I hush him. I close the door behind us and lead Jake to my bathroom "You have a nice room" he says looking around as I hold his hand pulling him into the bathroom "Thanks" I sit him down on the stool to my vanity as he leans back I reach for a wet cloth and dabb it on his blood covered face. "Jake what did you do to you're self?" I say looking him in the eye "I did it for you" he says as I sigh "I didn't ask you to attack the guy, I could've just asked him to not touch me" Jake puts my hand down from his face and looks me in my eye's "Eirka, I want to protects you" I take my hand away from his grip and restart cleaning his face "I don't need protection" I say faintly, Jake leans back on the chair as I continue to clean him off.

All done I say as Jake looks up at me with tired eye's "Thank you Erika" He says smiling,I smile back. Jake stands up and walks slowly out my bathroom and begins to walk to the exit door from my bedroom "Jake!" I whisper as he turns back around "I gotta go hom Erika" "Stay" I say looking him in the eye's. Jake gives me a smile as I walk towards him, I lay my lips on his and kiss him as he kisses me back. We make out as Jake is pushing me towards the bed as we both flop on it still making out. We pull away and both smile at each other "Im really tired Erika" He says leaning over me "Lets go to sleep then" I say as we both stand up. Jake begins to undress as I go and take out a XXL hoodie to give to Jake "Here" I say holding it out "Nah I sleep shirt less" I smirk at him as I see him standing in his shorts. I put on a new pair of booty shorts and a sports bra and jump in the bed beside Jake as I feel Jakes arms wrap around me.

Jake fells asleep as Im still not asleep thinking about tonight when I suddenly hear my phone buzz  I look at it and It's an Unknown Number 'Hey Its Aston, How is Jake?' I smile at my phone and text back 'Good,He went home' I kinda felt guilty as I lied about Jake being at his house when in reality he was sleeping right next to me with his arms wrapped around me. 'Heard Jake was just protecting you' 'Yeah' 'I would've too' he texts as I smile looking into my phone ' (Blush Face) I gotta go, Gonna go to sleep' 'Okay sweet dreams Erika' I smile and shut my phone and place it on my bed side shelf. I turn around and snuggle my face into Jakes chest and slowly fall asleep.
