You Confuse Me

Chapter 7

Title: Why do I feel this way?

Dylan's POV

It wasn't supposed to happen this way. I wasn't supposed to have feelings for a girl that I barely knew. I was supposed to get with her then dump her after a few days. BUT I'M OFFICIALLY HOOKED! This is a bad thing.

On the morning of Saturday me and my brothers went to the mall because where else would you go? I have two brothers Jaylyn and Marques. The most annoying people that I know. No rephrase the most annoying people that I know that are related to me. We were at the mall near Hot Topic and I see a wave of black hair flow right pass me. Soon I see who the hair was connected to and before I can stop myself I yell, "JESSIQA!" God I'm stupid. I might as well go to her now. "Hey Dylan." She says as I walk over to her. I bet she's happy to see me. "What are you doing here?" I ask, even if she is here to see me, how did she know I was here? "Shopping with my sister." As she says it I look around for proof. "Really where is she?" I question. If she is here with her sister then where is she?"I don't know and why do you care?" I look at her I'm disappointed but she don't know that but I tell her "I want to meet your family," It wasn't technically a lie "oh and um these are my brothers." I take her over to Jaylyn and Marques. Before we get there she states "I need to find my sister" Why is she trying to get away from me? "Not right now I want you to meet my brothers first then we can find your sister" "No I'm going to find my sister not we." Is she mad? If so then why? "Anyway these are my brothers." I watch her look over them. "Hey guys this is Jessiqa"

After I introduce her she looks worried. Then I guess she came up with something to do because she smiles and says hi. "Hi" Jaylyn says "Hi" and Marques says "Sup" Always the cool one. I start to introduce Jaylyn but "I'm Jaylyn. And I don't like introductions." Very rude of you I mentally tell Jaylyn. Then Marques introduces himself. "I'm Marques. So how do you view our brother?" "MARQUES!?!?!" "What I want to know what she sees you as. We know what you think of her." I see confusion in her eyes and I don't blush but my skin does turn a deeper shade. I see her get uncomfortable and she says "I think I'm gonna go I'll see you around Dylan" I'm sad that she wants to leave. "Yea see you." She starts to walk away when I remember. "Jessiqa do you think that we can meet your sister?" I see her mentally work out the situation. Finally she says, "Sure I don't care." and she walks away with us following. I watch her walk for a while before Jaylyn asks where we're going. "Were going to meet her sister." I state under my breath so that only he can hear. "Why are we doing that?" "Because she met you guys and I thought that it would be fair to meet her siblings." "Ok fine." Well I guess that's the end of that conversation.

We get to H&M and Jessiqa sees her sister and she walk runs to meet her. When we get to them I hear he sister say "Ready to go?" Then she turns around and sees us. Well she sees Jaylyn. I see her ask "Jessiqa who are they?" But as she's saying this I see Jessiqa give her annoyed look then say "They are the brothers of the guy I was talking to you about." So she talks about me that's nice to know. Jaylyn is the first to speak, "I-I'm Jaylyn" Wow I've never seen him like that before. "I'm Marques" Then she says "I'm Melodēē."

Then Jessiqa starts to walk away and I follow her and Marques follows me. Then Marques questions "So we just gonna leave them there?" Jessiqa with her smooth manner replies "Umm yea what else is there to do their struck." Marques looks at her like she had a unicorn horn "Their what?" "Struck you know love struck?" I laugh because it was true they were love struck. Then trying to play it off I say "You like that cheesy stuff?" She gives me the most unwanted look ever. The I'm offended look. I never want her to look at me like that ever again. "Of course! Everybody loves a happy ending!" Time to play the player part. I walk over to her and whisper in her ear "I can show you a happy ending." She pushed me away and I laugh "I'm kidding, unless you want me to." I try not to look hopeful. She says "No I'm good thanks." We were having a moment when "Ok you too, break it up. Looks like Jaylyn and Melodēē aren't the only ones 'struck.'" I want to punch him. Jessiqa looks at him with complete and utter disgust "Shut up and don't use my phrases" She had started to walk away "Ok fine, dang Dylan your girl get defensive real quick." I had to stop this "Shut up man, she's not my girl" but he just keeps on talking "She needs to be the way you look at her." I'm completely done "SHUT UP!"

A couple weeks later

I think I'm not and I repeat NOT ok. I shouldn't be crushing on people. But I am. Every day I take Jessiqa somewhere new. I don't think she likes it very much. I think that taking her away from her friends is slowly making her mad. Today I think I'll take her to the park. But let's get thru school.

It's the last period and I'm laying on Jessiqa. I barely got sleep last night because I was up wondering how she felt about me. I guess I shouldn't worry about it. Right now i'm so comfortable that I think I fell asleep. the bell rings for school to be out and I get up and look at Jessiqa trying to figure out what she thinks of me. She looks at me with wide eyes and asks "What?" To cover up what I was doing I tell her "Nothing I just like looking at you." She doesn't say anything for a while then she starts talking about my brothers. I wasn't really paying attention until she said "You know what I think that were gonna be great brother sister in law." I looked at her then muttered "Yea but I want to be much more than that" I don't think she heard it. We walk outside and see her friends we make a plan so yell "OH MY GODS IS THAT BLUE FACE!?!" and when we did we died of laughter at their reaction. They looked so mad when they realized that Blue Face wasn't really there. By the time I came to we were done and talking about after school plans. I told them Jessiqa was coming with me and walked away after a few moments Jessiqa follows me to my car we get in and I drive off.

We got to the park and we did our homework after we just sat on the swing Jessiqa fell asleep and I took her home and put her in her bed then followed right after. I feel a shift in the covers and I know that Jessiqa is up. I don't react so she thinks I'm asleep. I hear her ask "Do you like me?" Of course I do. I wouldn't be here if I didn't . Then she says "If you do then you don't need to. I'm not right for you or anybody for that matter. So why do you hangout with me?" Wow. I'm shooketh. Why does she think such bad things about herself? More questions came but they stopped I guess she came to a conclusion but I want to give her one myself.

The Next morning

I wake up to find Jessiqa gone. The bathroom door opens and out she comes. I could have sworn that I woke up to a goddess coming out the bathroom. Then follows her voice "Hello sleepyhead. Now that your awake can you get out so that I can put on some clothes please?" She's a little feisty in the mornings. It doesn't bother me much. "Really that's the first thing that you ask of me when I get up?" "What do you want me to say 'hey bae did you have a good rest?'" I like the sound of that, "Maybe, maybe not but it would be nice to wake up with you in my arms." I could tell that she thought I was lying but I let it go. she starts to get her clothes and I grab the only chance to tell her how I feel. I walk over to her and put my arms around her so that she stays there. "W-what are you doing?" What a good question. "Hugging my soon to be girlfriend" I felt her hold her breath as if she wasn't supposed to hear that. Now I have to do it before I back out. "Oh and you are right for me and I hang out with you because I like you so stop doubting yourself." Whew with that said and done I left to get ready for school.

I don't think that she knows that I was up for the other questions as well. It seems to me that she is trying to block feelings. Is she afraid? Has somebody done her wrong? If they did I will gladly big body them. But having her try not to feel things for me (though she does) is not ok.

After I finish getting dressed I drive back to Jessiqa's to get her. When she walked out of her house, I could have sworn my heart was trying to get to her. I stared at her as she walks to the car when she gets in I have to clean myself up. With one last look at her I start the drive to school.

You don't know how much I wish she was mine.
