Bad Luck or Fate?

Chapter 16

I had been sitting in Drew's room for about an hour explaining everything. I had told Jake and mom that I was heading over there and that I would stay there. The less people that know about this, the better.  "So let me get this straight, not only did you fall in front of him, but he saved you, not once, but twice? He took you to the hospital and then stayed with you in the hotel as well? Was he there when I called you?" Drew was talking a mile a minute. I couldn't keep up with her. 

I was sitting with my knees pulled to my chest leaning against her bed. I had a massive headache. All of this was starting to take it toll on me. I rubbed my temples with my hands. "Yes, Drew. He saved me. Yes, he stayed with me in the hotel and yes, he was in bed when you had called me. Why do you think I was whispering the whole time?" I had my eyes closed.  

"Wait a minute Breck. Did you SLEEP with Jimmy Fallon?!" She practically screamed. I put my hand over her mouth very quickly. "Could you say that a little quieter? I don't need everyone knowing about him right now. No, I didn't sleep with him. I mean, yeah I did, but no I didn't have sex with him if that's what you are implying. Jesus, Drew, who do you think I am?" I said as I sat back down on the floor.

"So let me get this straight. Not only did you meet Jimmy friggin Fallon, but you went to his house as well, and you slept in the same bed as him? AND you expect me to believe that you didn't do anything together? Come on Breckyn. Even I would have pulled a move at that point." she said. 

I stood up and ran my hand through my hair. "Drew, we did NOT sleep together. I hate to burst your little bubble, but Jimmy is a gentleman. We didn't do anything. He kind of cuddled me, but that's it. He just got divorced for Christ's sake!" I stared pacing the room. 

"But, in that video, you are clearly kissing him. He kissed you back. I watched that video at least a thousand times before I even messaged you. It Didn't look like he just got divorced, and if he did, it doesn't really look like it mattered." she said as she made me sit down on the bed. "Ouch, watch the arm, Drew. Shit." 

"I'm sorry, but someone has to make you stop pacing this room like a madman, Breck. What were you thinking kissing him, Breck? I mean, he is JIMMY FALLON. He's like super famous. You aren't. He lives in New York, probably in a mansion. You live in podunk, Missouri." she said as she rubbed my back.

"Don't you think I have thought of that? I know, Drew. I know. I have thought about that at least a million and one times.  I kissed him first and then I let it go. Or, I thought I let it go. When I got the call from Mom saying that Mike was released, I lost it. He was the only one that was there for me at that time, Drew. He has seen my scars, he has seen me lose it, and he pretty much knows what happened between me and Mike, but he stuck around. When most would run, he stayed.  I don't know why, but he did. I couldn't bare leaving him without at least telling him what that meant to me, what he meant to me. I never expected for him to come running after me. He came after me, Drew. He kissed ME in that airport, not the other way around. He wanted me to stay, I told him I had to come back here, and he made me promise to come back so we could figure all this out. HE did that. Not me." 

I laid back on the bed and closed my eyes. 

  

"I can't help but worry that you are setting yourself up for disaster, girl. I mean, how are you guys going to make this work? The media is already eating him alive for this, Breck. Do you really think he is going to be able to save his career and pursue a relationship with you? I mean, no offense, but I can't help but wonder what his choice would be if he has to choose." she said. I immediately sat up on the bed. "What do you mean, eating him alive, Drew? On twitter? What do you mean?" I said. 

"You haven't seen it? Its all over." Drew stood up and led me to her living room. She turned on the television.  It was on TMZ. They were playing the normal celebrity videos. Pretty soon, though, a familiar sight filled the television screen.  Jimmy. I have never seen Jimmy on this show, until now.
