*Lexie's POV*

So, Reed doesn't like me...

That's great. I love life.

I should try to forget about him somehow since now I know it will never happen between us. How? I'm gonna date someone to try to forget about him. He will still be a really good friend to me, but I just can't deal with liking him if he doesn't feel the same.

Jack: Hey, Lexie!

Jack said as he walked into my house with...Reed. Great.

Reed: Hey...

Lexie: Hi...

Lexie: Jack can I talk to you for a second?

Jack: Yeah, of course.

I know he likes me, and he knows I like him. Or did before I met Reed.

We go to my room so Reed can't hear us talking.

Lexie: You know how I like you, right?

Jack nods with a little smile. He's such a cutie.

Lexie: And you like me, right?

Jack nods again, with a smile, blushing a little bit this time.

Lexie: So...will you be my boyfriend? Maybe? Possibly?

Jack smiles even wider with his perfect teeth showing.

Jack: Of course I will.

I smile and hug him. Then we go back out to the living room. Reed looks at us and smiles until he realizes his arm is over my shoulders and I'm holding his hand, his smile drops and he looks back at the TV.

Me and Jack sit down next to each other. This makes me feel bad for Jack because I'm just trying to forget about Reed. Every time I look at Reed to see if he is looking at me, I either feel bad because he looks upset for some reason, or I smile because he is the cutest person ever.

Now I feel really bad. And yes, I do like Jack a lot. But I looked at Reed once and I have never looked at someone like the way I looked at Reed. I kind of looked at Jack like that, but I just like him. When I looked at Reed, it was love at first sight. I mean yes I love Jack, but I'm not in love with him. I have to forget about Reed. He will never feel the same and I guess I'm okay with that. I'll just focus on Jack.

I need to stop. It will never happen, so I'm gonna get over it

*Reed's POV*

So, Lexie and Jack?

Great. I'm so happy for them.

NOT!

I like her a lot and this had to happen?! Are you fricking kidding me? And Jack knows this. How could he do this to me?

Wait...

I think she doesn't think I like her because of what I said on Instagram... I'm so stupid.

Why would I say that? Well, she probably doesn't like me anyways so it doesn't matter if I said it or not. She's way too pretty for me. Jack and her are really close, so I'm not surprised. I mean, but so are me and Lexie. When Jesse talked to me about her, I really thought she could've liked me back, but I guess not. I'll just have to learn to deal with it.

I can handle it...I think.
