Telly's P.O.V.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I smiled to my self like an idiot unpacking from my trip to the mountains. Jace being Jace wandered around to go explore which left Logan and I alone. I sat on my bed and scrolled through the endless array of selfies and more selfies. I looked out my window. It was starting to rain. I remembered the last time I played in the snow. Jace,Emmett,Shai and I were kids.

My bedroom doors flew open and in walked Jared and his pink hair. "Didn't you hear me knocking?"

"No. I was just deep in thought I guess. And I kinda just remembered that we're leaving in 2 hours." I threw my hands in my hair and walked into my closet pulling out a suitcase.

"Okay Telly. Whats up. You've been not yourself since last friday. You're pulling yourself away from me again. And I know your still talking to Logan." He crossed his arms over his chest. "Whats wrong with me? Am I not enough?" His eyes held hurt.

" No no. Jared don't think that way. Yes I know. Logan and I are talking and seeing each other but its not like that. We're just friends. He's just going through a difficult time right now. He really needs someone."

"He has all the choices in the world. And he happens to pick you."

"I'm the only one who understands. I've seen people like him before and its an instinct of mine to help."

"What do you mean people like him?"

"I'm not sure if he wants me to tell anyone. Trust me I swear that as soon as I get the okay I will tell you."

"Tell me now Telly. Because just the fact that you and him in the same room together bothers me.Like I can't stand the thought of him touching you. Like it doesn't matter if it was accidental. I will have his fucking balls."

"Colorful J. Graphic but colorful. How cold is Maine? I'm trying to decide if I should bring more sweaters then flannels." I pulled out creme colored heavy sweaters and held them in front of me."

"Maine? Cold. Very cold. I used to be an eskimo."

"That explains your long hippie hair. So sweaters or nah?"

" Whatever the hell you so happened to wear when its extremely cold. Actually I'm overexaggerating. It's not that cold. Its almost like here without all the rain. And you're acting like its gonna be for a year Its only a week." He shrugged.

" In girl time a week is 1 month. It isn't just 168 hours." I dropped my freshly folded sweater on top of my 2 pairs of jeans. " Beside eating a lot and going black friday shopping what are we doing."

"You mean after driving across the country because there aren't any flights? sleeping. I don't even feel like going Black Friday shopping this year."

"I do. I want the iPad Air and an excuse to get Starbucks in the middle of the night. Plus everything is damn near free." I watched him flop down on my loveseat and cover his face with his hands. "Please come on. Its the most wonderful time of the year. Cheer up. You're seeing your parents again for the first time in how long. Not mentioning that its with me."  I sat on his lap with one leg on either side of him.
