"We're just friends."-JG
[Two Weeks Later]
Jason and I have been texting back and fourth everyday since we exchanged numbers.
We talk about all kinds of things. School, music and other stuff. He's so much fun to talk to and he makes me laugh even when I don't want to.
Lately he's been trying to get me to go to the park. But... I can't go back there.
Danny and I shared to many memories there. I had my first kiss there with him. And I remember it so clearly.
And thinking about it now makes my stomach turn flips.
"Journey?" I hear a voice breaking me out of my thoughts.
I look to see Jason's bright smile and his piercing blue eyes staring into mine.
"Y-yeah?" I stammer.
"You zoned out for a minute. You okay?" He asks sweetly.
"Um... Yeah. I'm fine." I clear my throat.
"So... Will you come with me?" He asks.
I swallow hard. "Uh s-sure... I'll come."
"Great. I'll pick you up around six?"
"Okay." I nod as he pecks my cheek and walks away.
"Ooh! I see ya jay!" Tessa teases walking past me.
"Oh shut up. He's just a friend." I mumble.
"Oh really? Since when did guy friends peck your cheek?" She sasses, crossing her arms.
"Tessa drop it. Besides, I'm not even his type." I say walking to the cafeteria.
"And what would that be?" She asks.
"I don't know. White?"
"Oh please. Jason barely talks to any girls but you. And when someone mentions your name, he blushes."
"He does?" I ask hopeful.
"Um hum. Girl he likes you."
"As a friend. Besides he has a girlfriend." I say wincing a little.
"Who?!"
"Some girl named ashley. She's not from here."
"Awe... You okay?"
"What the fuck? Of course I'm fine." I chuckle.
"Journey... You don't have to pretend, okay?"
I sigh, a little frustrated. "I'm fine Tess. Just... Stop talking about it."
She nods. "Don't worry. You'll find someone better."
"Tess, we were never together. We are just friends." I scoff as we walk into the cafeteria.
My heart clenches when I see Jason and Ashley sitting by one another practically making out. I felt tears fill my eyes, but I paid it no mind.
Maybe going to the park with him isn't such a good idea. I can't be around him knowing he has a girlfriend.
What the fuck am I saying? I only like him as a friend. He's just a friend.
But what is this aching in my chest? Why do I feel like I want more?
"Jay? You okay?" I hear Tessa ask.
"Um... Yeah. I'm good." I say, clearing my throat.
"You zoned out for a minute. You sure your okay?"
I clear my throat, swallowing so I wouldn't cry or make a scene. "Actually... No. I-I... I don't feel very well."
I waddle out of the cafeteria, my head spinning. What the fuck is wrong with me? Am I have an anxiety attack? Or could it be...
"Oh fuck." I hiss heading to the bathroom.
I go into a stall and check my pants. And just like I expected..
There was a blood stain in the seat of my pants.
"Journey! Journey where are you?" I hear Tessa call out to me.
"I-I'm i-in... H-here." I say, trying to catch my breath.
She opens the stall door. Her mouth dropping.
"Oh my god, Journey!" She squeals coming to my side.
"G-get the n-n-nurse..." Were my last words before I blacked out.
