Enemies

Chapter 18: You can trust me.

(still Daniels POV)

Jesse then smiled and walked away. The rest of the day Igot to know Alexander, Jack tagged along tho. When the sun started to set, I decided to take Jack and Alex home. When we got there, Jack invited me to stay because it was so late. I thought it was weird but said yes because I wanted to spend more time with them. When we entered their home, we heard sobbing coming from upstairs. I walked up and opened the door to the room it was coming from, only to reveal a crying Jesse, head in her hands and sitting on the ground.

D- H-Hi...

(Jesse's POV)

I couldn't stand to see him anymore. He'd hurt me so much, and now he just acts as if nothing's wrong. I smiled and walked away. I ran all the way home since we didn't drive to the beach. For the next three hours I thought of how broken I was. How broken Corbyn was, and how it was all my fault. I just sat and cried. I didn't even hear Jack get back. The door opened and I figured it was jack, but no. 

D- H-Hi...

I quickly wiped my tears away and stood up.

J- Hey :)

D- Don't pretend like you weren't just crying. What's wrong.

J- You're here. And you just act like nothing's wrong. 

D- I didn't want to make things awkward. I didn't even know what to say! We haven't seen each other in 3 years, and then you're here. Your hair grown out and blonde, your tan, you got really fit, WE HAVE A FUCKING SON. Nothing is the same. It seems like you got better since you left.

J- actually no. I cut... A lot.

D- Why don't I see any cuts?

J- Make up.

I grabbed a makeup remover and revealed my scars. Daniel then walked over and grabbed my arms. 

D- Why Jesse?

J- I hurt Daniel. Ever since that night I haven't known what to do with myself.

I started to cry and he pulled me into his chest. God I missed this. I missed his warmth. His arms wrapped around me, my face against his warm chest. I pulled away and he wiped my tears with his thumb as he looked into my eyes, and I looked into those same electric blue eyes that I had once fallen for a few years ago. Then, our lips met. Sparks. Butterflies. Everything you would imagine. It was as if nothing ever happened. As if I'd never left. Just then, someone cleared their throat, separating the kiss. I turned to see Jack.

J- Jack! Oh my god I'm so-

He laughed.

Ja- It's okay Jess.

J- W-What?

Ja- I knew things probably wouldn't work. Seeing as how I kinda like someone else...

J- What?

Ja- Yeah...

J- Who?

Ja- Um... Daniel could you please leave?

J- Come on man. You can trust me.

Ja- Okay. Just... Don't judge me.

J&D- Of course.

Ja- Okay... It's, uhm, Z-Zach...?

I looked at him. And then Daniel. And then smiled.

J- Pay up Daniel.

He gave me $10.

Ja- What?

J- Well when we all still lived in LA, I had a feeling you liked him.

Ja- You did??

J- Yup. Guess I was right. And I just made ten bucks.

Jack smiled and then pointed at the both of us.

Ja- You two need to work this out.

He walked out and closed the door. Daniel grabbed my hand and smiled.

D- I want this to work. I want us to work. I want to be together. I know what I did was wrong, and I have no reason for doing what I did, but I can promise that it will never happen again.

J- Daniel. What you did broke me. That was the first time anyone has ever made me feel loved since my brother left.

D- Wait... Brother?

J- Yeah. When I was little, like 2, my older brother ran away with my uncle.

D- What was his name?

J- I don't remember. Anyways. We can try to make this work. We'll all move back to LA. I'll live with Ryder or Bean and we'll just take things slow.

His eyes lit up, he smiled, and he hugged me super tight.

D- Thank you. Thank you so much.
