A Better Best Friend

21

"That might've been one of the weirdest of most awkward things I've seen in my life." Sophia said still stunned. How did Millie go from pleasant to kind of a bitch that fast.

"I don't know, but I guess she doesn't know what jokes are." I said. I dumped the whole bag of chicken nuggets on the sheet pan and then pre heated the oven. "I also don't know if I should be doing this, but I guess it's too late now." I said forcing a smile trying to get over that whole situation. I'm also still kind of anxious about my dream still I need to talk to jack about it just to get it out of my head. Just as I started to turn around jack was right behind me and I jumped right out my skin because I had no idea he was there.

"Zoinks Scoob, this is pretty scary stuff." Jack said mocking me. I flicked his forehead.

"I had no idea you were there okay." I said sassy. Just then Jack pulled me into a hug and held me tight, it felt so nice being in his embrace just knowing that I am jacks and jack is mine.

"I love you so much, I don't know why I had such a strong urge to come tell you that, but I do and I'll never do anything to hurt you." He said letting go of the hug. It was like he knew about my dream.

"I need to tell you some stuff later." I said. "Alone." I mouthed so that Sophia and Emily didn't hear. Jack kissed me on the cheek and then went to the bathroom.

"That was so cute I might actually die." Sophia said. I smiled and said,

"Yeah I'm kind of surprised that I'm not a puddle on the floor right now, if I wasn't so tired I for sure would've melted." I yawned realizing how much I wanted to just go to sleep. Emily walked over to me,

"Don't worry about this I can do it, go lay down I know you're tired." She said taking the big box of macaroni from me. Then she started to fill up the pot with water.

"I'm surprised everyone is just up and awake, I can't do this kind of stuff I'm always in bed by 10 or 11." I said yawning and getting even more tired. "Geez Louise I might be asleep before that stuff is done cooking." We all laughed. Then jack came out of the bathroom, he wiped his face of with his shirt and flashed his abs.

"Do you wanna tell me whatever it was now?" He asked walking over to me. I nodded. We went up stairs to my room and I shut the door. Jack sat on the bean bag chair in the corner of my room so I went and sat on his lap.

"I had a dream you were choking me." I said plainly. Jacks eyes widened and he opened his mouth but didn't say anything. "It's okay though, I love you and I know you." I said putting a hand on his shoulder to reassure him that my feelings toward him hadn't changed.

"I just don't even know what to say Lys, is there a reason you dreamed it or was there just no reason?" He asked. He seemed flustered and sadly confused.

"Jack I-" he cut me off with a hug. At first I didn't hug back because of his sudden and unexpected it was and then he pulled me in as much as he could and held me tight so he I hugged him back.

"I love you. You're my best friend and you've always been." He pulled away and looked me in my eyes, "I'd never do anything to hurt you."
