ch. 12 ; i missed you too

Jade

i instantly grabbed a pouch of the gushers and ripped it open. ugh so delicious, i keep thinking as i pop the gushers into my mouth.

"what movie?" matt asked while next to me.

i was so into these gushers, i didn't realize he had netflix set up.

wait, netflix.

snacks.

couch.

chilling.

no. no. NO.

"up to you," i respond monotonous scooting a bit away from him.

i saw him choose black mirror, the episode, white christmas.

well with christmas coming along, this was perfect. and black mirror is amazing, wow. good taste, i see.

"can i have one?" matt asked, leaning towards me.

i grabbed a pouch out of the box and offered one to him.

he opened his mouth in response. i took a gusher out of my pouch, and threw it into his mouth laughing as he caught it.

"nice!" i complimented him while still laughing.

it was ten minutes into the episode and nobody was talking. is it bad too say that i already watched this episode so i was kind of getting bored. i didn't want to tell matt though, he seemed too immersed into the show.

i yawned a little bit, putting my elbow down on the armrest of the couch and leaning my head on my hand.

matt obviously noticed because, he literally got up and sat so close to me, that my legs were sandwiched between him and the couch. he put his arm around me and god i mean it when i say i felt something weird in my stomach.

"you can lay on me, you know," matt told me, looking straight at me.

"not a chance, lover boy," i teased.

his hands instantly attacked my stomach starting to tickle me until i was in a position where he could pull me into his arms.

i felt all warm inside. both of his arms were wrapped around me, so i pulled my knees up to my chest and i cupped my cheeks with my hands. i was heating up right now, and i didn't want him to see how nervous i was. my head laid in the crook of his neck and something felt very nostalgic about this moment.

"i'm sorry, jade," matt apologized out of nowhere.

"it's fine, dylan was a bit confused, but i explained it all and i apologized to jax for you," i said remembering the earlier coffee shop incident.

"no, not that,"

now i was confused, what else is he apologizing for?

"i didn't mean to not talk to you for three years."

my heart dropped. i almost forgot the whole reason i've been angry with him. suddenly all the thoughts and pain of the situation came rushing back.

"the move was crazy. california was really far and i missed you a lot. like a lot. you're my best friend, jade. you have been for 14 years, and should have been for 17. it hurt so bad to not see you everyday, i just thought not talking to you would make me feel better. it didn't. i'm so sorry, jade."

did he really mean all that? it did hurt not seeing him anymore, and i did feel like we disconnected after the move. he just wanted to forget the feeling of not having me there.

his hands unwrapped me and then cupped my face and pulled me to where we had direct eye contact.

"please jade. forgive me. i miss you," he begged.

i said nothing. i took my arms and wrapped them around his neck pulling him into a hug.

"i missed you too, matthew," i admitted hugging him even tighter.

his hands also wrapped around me and he squeezed me into a hug. we just sat there for a few minutes. just like we were best friends again.

Matthew

so, jade was currently laying on me. her head was on my lap and her feet at the end of the couch. i can't believe i got her to forgive me that fast. it's almost thursday, i'll have just enough time to get her into bed. suddenly, i heard a phone ring. i carefully replaced my lap with a pillow, so jade wouldn't wake up and notice i was gone.

i walked over to the kitchen table and realized it wasn't my phone. it was jade's.

1 Missed Call, Shawny

shawny ; yo jade

shawny ; u still alive there

shawny ; have u made up with matt yet?

it started to ring again, so i instantly clicked decline. i can't let shawn ruin my plan. then my phone chimed.

cam dallas ; let's put some high bets on this too. i'm betting u a thousand $$$

cam dallas ; u in?

hell yeah. i sent a thumbs up emoticon to him. now, i really can't let shawn ruin my plan. i tried to open up jade's phone and i was immediately let in.

what crazy person doesn't have a passcode?

i began typing a text.

jade ; maybe it's better if we don't talk for a while. pls don't call or text me while i'm here. i swear i'm doing fine, i just need to relax a lil bit. and we always talk n stuff, we need a break from each other. talk 2 u when i come back.

i clicked send, and waited until he read it before deleting his and my message. i also deleted his missed calls. i waited a few minutes, but he didn't respond back. i guess we're all clear.

i walked back to the couch, and jade was still sleeping soundly. i decided to turn off the tv, and carry her up to her room.

i laid her down carefully on her bed, then put the covers over her so she wouldn't get cold.

okay, she looked really cute. oh, what strength it took for me to not get under the covers with her. but i'm saving that for saturday.

"goodnight jade," i whispered before turning off her light and shutting the door.

i took a deep breath in the hallway before walking back to my room.

as soon as i laid down in my own bed. it just felt a little wrong. how i was playing her.
