The Escape

Chapter 5

I was so confused. I had no fucking idea what to do. Jake had kissed me. And id enjoyed it. But why did he kiss me? I didn't get it. And what he told me about her sister was nothing. She just moved, and still, I was going to leave Miami at the end of the summer. It wasn't a big deal. And Andrew was a sweet guy. I ran into my room almost half asleep. I don't know what happened, I just fell asleep instantly. The next day, I woke up, and I still had me clothes on. This was such a bad habit. I just went and took a long, hot, relaxing shower. I put on my black shorts and a white band t-shirt, my neon pink bikini with black hearts, and went to the kitchen.

"Jess" my brother Pete started.

"Yes?" I said, trying to look innocent.

"Why did you leave yesterday?" he said, putting on a serious face. I grabbed an apple.

"Um, I was tired" I said.

"Tired enough to sleep with your clothes on, and your make up all sticky and over your face?" Pete said.

"Wait, did you come into my room?" I said.

"Yeah, I went to check on you" he said.

"I um, it was jakes fault" I said.

"What did he do?" said Pete, starting to clench his fists.

"Nothing bad, whatever, forget about it" I said coolly "oh, and, do you know where Ashley lives, your girlfriends sister?"

"Yeah, sure, she lives about 12 houses from here" Pete said, biting his toasts and eggs.

"Oh okay guess I'll see you later" I said, walking to the door. I headed to Ashley house, hoping to find here there. I needed girl time. I got to her house; it was huge, painted pale pink.

"Jess?" Ashley said surprised, she was in a bikini tanning herself in the front porch. "Hey Ashley" I replied.

"How are you? How come you are here?" she questioned.

"Oh, I was hoping we could hang out together" I replied.

"Sure! I'm gonna go to the beach with the guys today" she said.

"I'll come" I told her.

"Okay! What time is it? I was supposed to meet them there at noon" she said, eyeing me.

"Oh, it's almost noon, so guess we should get going" I replied taking out my phone. I had 5 messages, 3 were from my mom, one from Pete, and another one from a number I didn't recognize. My mom just said to call her, Pete's were from last night, saying if I was okay and the other one said: we need 2 talk; it was signed, Jake. How had he gotten my number? He was such a stalker, and bipolar.

"Jess, are you coming?" Ashley said, pointing to the beach, where you could clearly make out the figure of a group of teenagers. I nodded, increasing my speed. We got there, and said hi to everyone.

"Let's go take a dip!" Rachel, one of Ashley's friends shouted.

"Yeah!" everyone responded, running for the shore. The water was great, and I had the fun of my life.

"Cute bikini" a voice said. I quickly realized that was Andrew.

"You're not bad yourself" I said, eyeing his chest.

"I bet you'd look better without it" Andrew said.

"Ew! Stop perving" I replied, splashing water at his face.

"Oh, it's on" Andrew said. Everybody started throwing water, and we were soon tired. We went to dry ourselves, and went to the boardwalk. We settled ourselves at a burger place called Mario's. I ordered a cheeseburger, and started munching.

"Mmmm this is heaven" I said, and everyone nodded, as soon as we finished our burgers, our group separated, and I stayed with Andrew.

"So, were do you want to go?" he said.

"I don't know what about we walk the beach?" I suggested.

"Sure" he said, grabbing my hand and leading me to the beach. It was a beautiful day, the sea was crystal clear and the sand as white as paper. I tried to release my hand, but Andrew just gripped it tighter.

"Ow!" I said, he instantly released me.

"I'm sorry!" he said, laughing.

"It's not funny! " I gave him a friendly push. He just kept laughing. What a silly guy.

"You're such a kid" I said, without thinking.

"And you're such a girl" he said.

"Oh, that's new to me, I had no idea" I said, laughing. It was getting chilly and dark. I shivered. As soon as I did, Andrew put his arm around me, as he had no jacket. It got me warm in no time.

"You want to come to my place?" he said.

"Sure" I said. His house was not far away, we got there in no time. He led me to his room, and opened the door. It was so cool. It was full of band posters, a huge bed, and a rack with skateboards.

"Wow" I whispered, very awed. I saw an all time low poster, gosh I loved them.

"You like All Time Low?" I asked.

"Yeah, they're great!" he said, sitting in his bed.

We talked about music, until he asked me, "do you have brothers?"

"Yeah, one, his name is Pete" I said

"Oh" he said, looking at his feet

"Do you?" I asked, and he looked at me

"No" he said coolly

"You are so lucky!" I whined

"It's getting late, do you want me to drive you home?" he asked, completely dropping his mood.

"No, its okay, I don't leave very far" I said

"Okay, but grab one of my jackets, it's windy outside" he said, throwing one at me. I frowned

"Okay, bye!" I said, going to the stairs. The door of his room slammed behind me. What had happened? I went outside, tired, and started walking. The sky was starry, and the wind had gone down. As I was getting closer to m house, I saw a figure approaching me. Scared that it was a thief, I started running. "Wait! Jess!" someone called from behind me. Jack. Now that I knew it was him, I started running faster, but he eventually caught up with me.

"Jess" he said, out of breath.

"Why did you kiss me? Why are you here? Are you following me? How did you get my number?" I blurted.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, are we playing 20 questions, or what?" Jake said. I apologized.

"Well, to answer your questions, I got your number from Pete, I'm here because I was heading home and I say you, and I'm not following you" Jake said.

"You still haven't answered one of my questions... why did you kiss me?" I said, eyeing him. He just looked at me, his mouth open, no words coming out. Why had he kissed me? He never answered that, he just turned his back to me, and jogged to his house.
