We decided on watching Mama, and sat in the middle of the theater. It was completely empty, because of the time of day.
"Selfie!" He laughed, clicking the button multiple times.
"NO, I wasn't ready!" I reached for his phone.
"I won't post the bad ones!" He pulled it away.
"Show me." I leaned closer to him.
He showed me one of the pictures. It was me smiling and him sticking his tongue out.
"Is that good, baby girl?" He laughed, making the caption similar to the last picture he posted of us. By now, the Juliets were getting suspicious. So many fans shipped Jashley, it was unreal. Okay, maybe I did too. Jayk is perfect, and I just want to be able to trust someone. TC knows that I have a crush on Jayk, and he lets me hang around him. Should I act on it, or wait for him?
The movie started, and throughout the whole thing, we were laughing at each other. Everytime we jumped at something, we moved closer together.
"Ashley, you can let go of my wrist, the scary part is over." He nudged me, looking down.
"Oh, sorry." I giggled.

"Jayk, stop hiding behind my hair." I pulled away from him, cracking up.
"It's freaky, how are you not scared?" He poked my side.
"I'm not a wuss!" I flipped the arm rest up, and brought my hair to the opposite side he was on.
He scooted closer.
"Ashley, you're so beautiful." He smiled, putting his arm around me.
"Jayk, do you—" I was cut off.
"Shh. Don't tell TC." He pressed his lips against mine, leaning his head to the side.
Of course, I immediately pulled away.
"Jayk!" I said, wiping my mouth.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I know you don't like me, I'm just stupid. I really like you."
"No, Jayk. It's not that I don't like you. Because I do. It's that I don't know how TC will react. And I don't want you to be in trouble with AR because of me." I frowned.
"No, if you like me the way I like you, I'll tell TC. He can't stop it." He hugged me.
"I do like you that way." I pecked him on the cheek.
*TCS POV*
"What?!" I screamed at Jayk.
"T.C., she likes me too! Do you want her to be happy? She moved to LA because your parents split up and moved away. And she lost all of her friends. All she has is us. Just give it a chance, I won't hurt her!" A tear gathered in his eye and his face turned red.
"You're right about this, but get her down here." I put my head down in my lap and thought.
*ASHLEYS POV*
I ran downstairs and saw T.C with his head hanging low.
"I'm sorry. I should be a better brother and not be so protective. I don't want you to get hurt though." He stood up and faced me.
"Thomas Howard Lee Carter III, you have no idea how good of a brother you are. Imagine being in my shoes though. I really like Jayk, I want to trust him. I want to try to trust someone and to love someone because everyone else just leaves like Mom and Dad and you when you went on tour. Everyone leaves eventually but I have the oppurtunity, and I want to take it." I hugged him tighter than ever.
"I understand it all now. Go ahead, date him. Be careful." He kissed my forehead and pulled me into another hug.
"Goodnight." I pulled away and walked upstairs. I stopped when I was out of sight and I waited for him to say something to Jayk.
"Treat her good." He laughed.
"You know I will. I really like her." He said, walking towards the stairs. He saw me and I signaled him not to say anything.
"Goodnight." Jayk said to TC.
"My room, cuddles, movies." He whispered as he walked next to me, grabbing my hand and pulling me up the stairs.
(A/N)
I really like how this chapter turned out and I think that drama is just what Secrets needed. I definitely want to get into a better updating pattern though.. How does every 3 days sound? Because right now, I'm catching up to myself (as I write ahead). Three days will give me enough time to be at least a chapter ahead of what I have uploaded. Until then, don't forget to vote and comment. Feedback is highly appreciated as I've only gotten three or four opinions so far.. Thanks, juliets xx
