Author's note: here's a new point of view for you guys, I thought having this chapter in Jackie's view would be the best way to present it to you! Hope you enjoy!
Jackie
I groan loudly and grab on to Roslyn's tiny, warm wrist and cling to it with the strength of a thousand men as I drag her unwillingly towards my house.
I'm going to end this once and for all.
I pull her into the house and immediately drag her up the flight of steps. She fights me the entire way, making a scene for the whole neighborhood to see and hear. Every forced step she takes, she puts up a fight.
We enter James' room. I slam my hand on the door and open it fully. He leaps to his feet and quickly wipes the tears that flooded from his eyes seconds before we came in. He doesn't think I saw it but I totally did and I'm going to hold it over his head for the rest of his life.
James puffs out his chest in an attempt to appear more manly in front of Roslyn. Gosh, he is the absolute worst at flirting!

"James, this is Roslyn. She loves you." I point to the girl beside me who wishes she could be anywhere else but in this room right now. She hates it now but she will praise me for it later.
She just doesn't realize it yet.

"And Roslyn, this is James. He loves you back." I point towards my brother who is blushing and looks to be the color of the brightest tomato I've ever seen. He really needs to work on hiding his emotions a little better.
He's making an absolute fool of himself!
Roslyn laughs quietly beside me as she picks up on James' embarrassment right now.
James lifts his eyes to gaze into Roslyn's. His face lights up when he looks at her. And Roslyn's do the same when she sees him. Why can't they just realize they are both in love with each other and move past this awkward phase?
"Can you please just admit you care about each other and can we all just move past this fight? I hate seeing both of you like this. James, you're my brother and I don't want you to be sad. And Roslyn, you're my only friend here. And you've made us all feel so welcome. I'd hate to lose our relationship over some stupid words that Janes said in the moment and didn't really mean." I beg and plead with them. I want peace!
