Freedom

*JONAS*

It's already hard enough, but then she appears dressed up and looking amazing and I can't do anything. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I haven't been sleeping or eating since we stopped talking and seeing her now killed me. She looked stunning, like a goddess.

But I screwed up.

Why should I stay if you can't give me a reason to?

It stuck in my head. I had a reason, but it wasn't going to be enough. So I kept silent. Why should she stay if I can't give her a reason?

Because I love you.

But that isn't enough. Just saying it wouldn't do shit. I needed to act on it, and so far I haven't been. I've been a stubborn son of a bitch.

And now here she is, in a skin tight red dress that showed off all of her curves and her long, tan legs. And yet I still can't say anything to her. It takes every ounce of strength to pull my gaze away from her.

I was a coward.

I should just talk to her, give her a reason to stay, to come back to me.

Nova says something that I don't pay attention to and then pulls Lacey and her friend out of the apartment. Once the latch clicks silence falls over us.

I cradle my head in my hands and dig my palms into my eyes. I was going crazy.

"Hey, how are you holding up?" Spencer asks me breaking the silence.

"Like shit" I mumble.

"Why would she dress like that?" I ask in a low voice.

"She is single, and Nova and April have been trying to get her to loosen up and forget you" Benji says

Sometimes I really hated my brother, he wasn't very helpful.

"I can't handle this man, I'm losing my mind."

"She is too, maybe you both just need some space" Spencer says.

"I don't need space I need her." I shout at him

His eyes widen at my outburst.

I take a deep breath and sigh.

"I'm sorry Spence"

A small smile appears on his lips.

"I get it, and I know my sister, she misses you like crazy, she's just hurt and she's trying so hard to find a way to forgive you, trust me. I know she loves you, she'll come back."

"God I hope so"

"Why the hell are you still standing here?" Benji says

I glance at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Go after her you idiot" he says

"But Spencer Just told me to give her space"

"Lacey wants you to fight for her, she wants you to chase her, and kiss her. She wants you man. And you're still standing here"

"I don't even know where she went"

"I do. And I'll only take you for her. I hate the idea of you two together, but I want her to be happy, and she's happy with you."

"Thanks man"

Benji glares at me before grabbing his jacket off the chair and heading towards the door.

"Are you coming or not?"

"How the hell am I supposed to find her in here? It's packed?" I yell to Benji over the music.
