Shhh...It's a secret. (Jc Caylen Fanfiction)

Chapter 11

Brayden s POV

Aaron and I have been dating for 3 months and literally every single day I think about Jc. I can't get him off my mine. I don't wanna lose him. But I really like Aaron. He's so sweet.

It kills me to know I hurt Jc and I will probably hurt Aaron too. I see Jc everyday at school. I look at him but his eyes only seem to skim over mine, like he's trying to forget my existence.

I lay awake every night and think about a future that I would have had with him if I wouldn't have so idiotic.

It's Thanksgiving break and my while family is at my great grandma's house. My father is Mexican, and has a lot of aunts and uncles, so I have a big family. Sitting with my family can be hard. I walk upstairs and go to the bedroom. I lay down and sigh. My phone starts ringing and I pick it up.

"Hello?"

"Uh, hey Brayden. It's Aaron."

"Hey, babe. What's up?"

"Uh okay well, I don't think I can let this go on any longer. I don't know how to put this but, I love someone else. It isn't that your not amazing. It's just, I just can't. I'm sorry."

The line goes dead. I have no words. My feelings are, I don't know. I feel like someone was choking me and just let me go. Like the air just rushed back into my lungs like water. Yet I'm choking still.

Slowly, tears fall down my face. I take a few deep breath before texting Devin.

Me: Aaron broke up with me. Uh, I guess there's another girl. It's whatever. I'm just gonna push it down and not let it surface.

She replied almost instantly.

Devin: Good for you! I wanna let you know that you are one of the biggest things I'm thankful for. I can't ask for a better BestFriend.

Me: Aww, thanks dev. I love you too. Happy Thanksgiving. I'll talk to you later.

I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. "Honey, Will you set one more place mat? Your cousin, Payton, is bringing her new boyfriend." I nod and do as told.

About 30 minutes later, everyone is sitting at the table with two vacant seats next to me. One for Payton, and he new guy. Will they even show? Just as this thought slipped in my mind the back door in the kitchen opens. "Hello?" And in comes walking, Payton. "So sorry we're late." Payton says, giving her mom a light kiss onthe cheek.

The door in the kitchen closes and in he walks, and by he I mean Jc. He looks up and instantly his eyes lock with mine.

Like class on the first day of school, when our eyes met.

"Mom, Dad, this is Jc, and he's my new boyfriend." He breaks our gaze and looks at them, smiling his deadly smile, as he shakes my uncle's hand.

Please, oh please. Don't sit by me. Payton sit by- Payton sits by my dad two seats away. Leaving the only available seat next to me for Jc to sit. Great.

--Skip very, very awkward dinner--

After dinner we all decided to all play charades. They slit the remaining family, that hasn't left, into two teams. And as luck would have it, Jc was on mine. "Okay next Jc and Brayden, you guys will act out the next thing." My aunt said, gesturing toward the front of the room. I click the button on the iPad that gives us what we're acting out. The word pops up and says: KISS.

Are you kidding me. Are all the odds against me today?! Jc leans over and reads it to. He gasps and awkwardly looks up at me. I blush and nod.

He grabs my hands and pulls me close. We reenact kissing, reenacting our kisses. He grabs my face and places his thumbs on my lips. So our lips wont touch. Just as his lips are almost touching, sorta, Payton yells, "KISS!" and he instantly pulls away. Far away.

I blush and walk to the back of the room. I don't participate for the rest of the night. My heart aches, like I was just touched by an angel telling me that I was falling in love all over again.

That night I lay in my bed. Taking deep breaths. Replaying that first day at the beach over and over again. I finally take out my laptop and compose an e-mail to Jc.

I read it our loud when I'm done to myself, " everyone always says if you love something don't give up. and I love you. I miss texting you. I miss talking to you. I miss laughing with you. I miss holding your hand. and hugging you. I miss seeing you smile everyday. I miss texting all day and night. I miss your "goodmorning beautiful" texts. I miss your "goodnight beautiful" texts. I miss missing you. I miss us. but most of all I miss you."

Hey guys I'm sorry I haven't been updating. scjool has started for me and so has cross country! I will really try to update some more! love you all!
