Second Chances At Love

3

6 weeks later..

Every single day for the last 6 weeks, has been nothing but amazing. Really was. Jason and I would stay up on FaceTime for hours and we would like fall asleep on the phone. This is the part where I tell you that I really like him now and I just want him.

I would get to school walking like a badass. Got guys staring again. Even Jason.

I stepped in those hallways feeling awesome with a smile on my face. I walked to my locker smiling. Jason walked over crying his eyes out.

"Aww, what happened?"

"My grandpa..ppp," he stuttered.

"Oh my gosh, come here," I said.

He came close and I gave him the biggest hug I ever given him. Michael was watching me and him though. Yes, Michael never left. He lied to me to get me to talk to him but I don't give a damn at all. Jason is more important than that son of a bitch.

I knew he was watching me. I mean, I don't blame him though. He sees me happy with my friend. Laughing. Smiling. Joking around at lunch.

Jason is my male best friend now. Not Michael anymore. He can still talk to his little friend there. I'm happy now with my friend Jason.

"Are you okay, Jay?" I asked.

He was crying so hard. He told me he had a strong bond with his grandpa and to hear that he passed, my heart dropped so much.

"Would you like me to stay?" I asked.

He shook his head yes on my shoulder. I felt so bad that I didn't even know what to say. I remember when my dad passed, my mom, Steph, and I cried for days and we didn't go to school for 2 days.

"Look at me," I said.

He looked up and his face was red and full of tears.

"Oh, honey, you look like a crying puppy but with tears," I said.

We then both laughed.

"Thanks for that comparison," he joked.

"You're welcome."

Then he started to cry again and hugged me.

"Aww, it's okay."

I was like the big sister here but he's older than me and taller so like yeah.

"Thank you love," he said.

"Anytime you need me, I'm there. Just a text or call anyway."

After he called me love, I felt special. He's been calling me that a lot for the past 3 weeks or so. But then..

I was planning on giving a kiss on the forehead but I might or might not have kissed his lips when he looked up.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry," I said.

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I just kissed you on the lips on accident. I meant your forehead. Oh my gosh this is embarrassing."

Meanwhile all of this, Michael was witnessing across the hall. Yeah, that creep.

But I kept on saying I'm sorry and Jason kissed me. What? Our second kiss. What?

Then I heard Michael slamming his locker door and walking away. I don't care.

"Why did you kiss me?" I questioned.

"Look, these last 6 weeks or so have been really amazing and I'm starting to really like you, a lot. I never really told you because I know about Michael and everything so I didn't want to rush things for you," he explained.
