GUYS WHAT'S THE UPDATE?

Chapter 7 :

Travis's POV

We were watching 13 Going On 30. I have seen this movie enough number of times before to know exactly which scene cracks Jean up and which one makes her cry. It was our movie. Whenever i needed to cheer her up, we would watch it together. Hell, Jean and I have had several sleepovers together. We were THAT close.

I mentally kick myself to stop talking as if it's over.

I look up at her, in the final scene of this movie. I know the look on her face. But i'm going to watch her anyway. I need to take in all that i have missed in these years. Her eyes are lit up and she's clutching the pillow tightly. She truly is beautiful and i'm going to win my best friend back. 

During the movie, she even moved in closer. That's another thing, Jean loves to sit with my arm around her. Not that she ever mentioned it, i just know. 

As the movie gets over, i wait for her to take it all in and sigh. As soon as she sighs, i know she's ready to move. 

And there it is. 

We get up and start washing the dishes. I can see she's slowly slipping back to her old self or should i say new Jean. I jump in and cut the silence short. 

"Jean.." My voice trailed off. She was in a deep thinking mode. I know this becasue she was biting her nails.

"Yeah.. sorry i was just lost somewhere else. What were you saying?" Her attention being now on me. I liked that. I liked how her eyes were on me, like I was gravity, holding her in place.

Without having anything to say, i randomly said, " Your phone has been buzzing like crazy". 

Her face immediately fell, like it was the last thing she wanted to do. But she made her way to the table and picked it up. She let a sigh out and opened it, going through it. rolled her eyes a couple of times. But then her expression changed. She looked.. panicky.

"Is everything okay?" I asked.She 

She didn't answer for a few minutes. In these few minutes, her expression changed a couple of times. Started off with confusion, changed to concern and worry and finally it changed to anger. 

Whoever it was, was in deep touble. Nobody wants to mess with an angry Jean.

"Can you drive me?" she asked urgently. And i didn't spend a single second standing there.
