Rebel Love Song (A Jinxx Love Story)

Chapter 20

I sat down on her bed as she closed the door behind us. I was still nervous. I was, of course, thinking the worst though; such as her saying "Jinxx, I hate you, and we're over. Bye." But I knew that wasn't what she was going to say... Was it..?

She stood facing the door for a few minutes. Then she turned around and walked to her dresser. She put some pajamas on and climbed in bed. I laid down beside her and asked "What is it that you need to tell me?"

"I... Well... It's about... Trevor.." She said quietly.

"What about him?"

"He.. Well, when you left, he came in my room, because Mikey, of course, made a reference to... ya know... and then Trevor got all mad and yelled at me and asked me if we really... Well anyways, I said no, but he didn't believe me, and he got all mad and in my face and then..." she stopped.

"And then..." I urged her to go on.

"He kissed me," she said with a confused look on her face. "He said he was leaving because he loved me and that he couldn't stand to watch me love you... Now I feel like I'm the reason the band is falling apart.." she said as she started to cry.

"Shh, it's okay. That's not true. He said that him and Sarah had been thinking about this for a long time. We couldn't have been the reason he's quitting," I said and she abruptly stopped crying.

"You're right! Then, why is he quitting? Why would he use that as an excuse?" she said, but it sounded more like she was talking to herself.

I got up to go put pajamas on; skinny jeans aren't the most comfortable things to sleep in. I threw on some basketball shorts and climbed into bed. Alaina mumbled something about me being shirtless and I chuckled at it, which made her blush. She hadn't expected me to hear it. She was still talking to herself about the Trevor thing, so I kissed her and told her to calm down; everything was fine, they'd have a new drummer in a week, and Warped Tour was in less than two months away, and everything would work itself out. She calmed down and snuggled up to my chest as I wrapped my arms around her and began to drift off into a dreamless sleep.

ALAINA POV

I looked up at Jinxx when I heard a little snore. How cute, he was asleep. The lights were still on, but I couldn't get up to shut them off without waking Jinxx, but I couldn't fall asleep with them on. I groaned as I tried to unwrap myself from Jinxx's arms to no avail. I pushed myself against his chest to see if I could slide out from his grasp, but as I moved closer to him, his arms followed.

"Ugh," I groaned loudly, and Jinxx flinched.

"Woah, are you alright?" he asked in a sleepy voice.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.. I was trying to get up to shut the lights off..." 

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said as he unwrapped his arms from me. "How long was I out?"

"Um, like 5 minutes..?" I guessed.

"Yeah, that's what it feels like," he said with a laugh.

I jumped out of bed and switched the lights off. The room was so dark, I couldn't see anything. So, it scared me half to death when Jinxx came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Are you going to bed right now?" he whispered into my neck, which made me shiver.

"Um.. Well.. I thought you were, so... If you are, then... Yes..?" It sounded more like a question than a statement. That weird nervousness I had felt last night was creeping back up as his lips touched my neck and made their way to the spot right under my ear. A small sound escaped my throat when he pressed his lips to that spot, and he chuckled. I frowned, but he couldn't see it in the dark room. His hands moved to the bottom of my shirt and I froze when I figured out what he was doing. "I thought you were tired," I blurted out of nervousness.

"Oh," he said as he dropped his arms to his sides. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to--"

"No, I didn't mean it like that, I'm just... nervous," I admitted as I turned around to face him, even though I couldn't see him.

"Again?" he asked with a smirk in his voice.

"Shut up," I mumbled as his arms slid back around my waist. Why was I so nervous? Maybe because now I knew that Mikey could hear everything? Was it really just my self-consciousness? I'm such a girl, I thought to myself as his kiss sent butterflies through my stomach. I stepped backwards, and he followed, until we were to the edge of the bed. I sat down on the bed, bringing Jinxx with me, still kissing him, and let the night play out as it had last night.

JINXX POV

I don't understand what she was so nervous about. I knew she was self-conscious, but how many times had I told her that she was beautiful and perfect? She may not be stick-thin, but that's not a bad thing; in fact, it was the total opposite of bad. Was there something else she was nervous about? I wondered if maybe she had been in a bad relationship or something, and that she was just too scared to get too close to anyone. But she would've told me about that, right?

I couldn't think about that, though. Right now, all I could think about was Alaina and the perfect night that lay ahead of us.

(A/N: Okay I'm not sure why I wrote another chapter like this, but idk, it just fit, I guess (x well, things should hopefully start moving from here. Ralph will get moved in, then Warped will start, then something big is going to happen. I promise :D )
