Stuck in the middle.

Chapter 17

Of course he had to pick a scary movie to watch. I get so scarred during these kinds of movies! We sit where there is no armrest in between us. I can feel this weird heat between us. The movie is extremely scary. I end up holding on to Mason's sleeve I get so scarred. When the movie is over he just kind of laughs.

"What's so funny," I ask him as we leave the theater.

"Oh nothing," he says smiling.

"What," I ask as we get outside.

"It's just so adorable how scarred you got," he says.

"Shut up," I say as I playfully push him aside.

He then playfully pushes me back as we both laugh. I go to push him again but this time he grabs my arms and stops me. Suddenly all the playfulness and laughing stop and he looks into my eyes. And then we are kissing. His hands find my face and mine wrap around his neck. This moment feels perfect but wrong at the same time. We stay like this for awhile. Then he pulls away a smiles at me.

"I should probably bring you home. It's getting late," he says, "but I really don't want to."

He pulls me back in and kisses me one last time.

"Okay. I will take you home now," he says.

"Okay," I say smiling.

He drives me home and walks me to the door.

"Goodnight," he says.

Then he pulls me in for one last kiss.

"See you tomorrow," I say.

Then he heads to the car and drives away. My mom doesn't mind I'm home late. She wants me to be social. She doesn't even ask where I was. I head into my room and pull out Jacob's letter. I have been doing this every night. That's when I realize that I'm not over Jacob. I thought I had moved on, but I hadn't. It's over. He's gone. I should be thinking about Mason. I really like him. I push Jacob out of my head. I am done thinking about him. I sleep that night with nothing on my mind but Mason.
