Perfect Heartbreak (Jacob Whitesides fanfic)

Chapter 1 -The Icebreaker

It was just a normal summer day. My mom wanted to wrap my brothers birthday presents so she sent me to the park with him. I walked him to the edge of the pond and he threw rocks in. I stepped back and sat on the short rock wall. When my little brother Bobby came back, he said he saw his best friend coming across the bridge and wanted to go see him. I looked to my left. There on the bridge I swear was an angel. He was about 6' 2'' with fluffy brown hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing khaki shorts and a black Obey t shirt with black and white Vans on. He looked at me and smiled with perfect gleaming teeth. Before I knew it my little brother had run off to see his friend. I walked over and he locked eyes with me. I couldn't look away. He blinked a few times and then said, "Oh! Hey I'm Jacob. Jacob Whitesides. Nice to meet you..?" He extended his hand out to me and I shook it and stood there staring into his eyes for what seemed like forever. I then realized he asked me my name. How stupid could I be? He probably thought I was retarded now! "Oh, sorry. Ashley. My name's Ashley Watson." I said with a smile. He gave me a dorky grin and said "well I guess our little brothers know each other huh?" "Yeah" I said. Almost unresponsive. How could one human being have such a beautiful appearance, sweet character, and gorgeous voice? Just hearing him talk turned my knees to pudding. Then I heard a scream. "SISSY!!" I looked over to the pond and Bobby had fallen in. I was about to rush to him when I realized that Jacob had already cleared the rock wall and was reaching in for him. I ran over in awe and was so shaken by the moment I didn't realize Jacob was still there. " Oh my gosh I can't thank you enough!!- now Bobby we need to get home and clean you up." I said as I took his soaked shirt off. "No, it's okay, here." Jacob said as he took his shirt off. "Here ya go little bud." He put his shirt on my brother which looked like a dress on him. I looked at Jacob and we locked eyes. For a moment I felt my heart leap out of my chest. As our brothers ran around a baseball field we sat in the bleachers shoulder to shoulder and struck up a casual conversation. I found out we both had a burning passion for music. I asked him to sing for me. He sang "Stay with me" and I almost teared up. His voice was flawless with such a beautiful raspiness that was enough to drive a girl insane, which is exactly what it did to me. I knew at that moment that I had a major crush on Jacob. Then our brothers walked up and laid on the bleachers. I picked up Bobby and said, "It was nice meeting you Jacob" and I felt my cheeks on fire, I was praying he couldn't tell. He smiled. I turned and walked off, only able to the k about him. I had walked some 3 feet when I heard him yell after me "Hey Ashley, wait!" My heart stopped and my stomach flopped, I turned around and said "yeah?!" "Ummm. Do you wanna, umm, come back later and hang with me?" I felt like the breath had been pulled right out of my lungs and I knew I was blushing, but so was he. "Yeah, sure!" "Oh, cool! How about 8:30?" "Yeah. Sounds good. See you soon"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*(8:15 that night)*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I sat on the ground in my room in the middle of a pile of clothes. I had no clue what to wear! I barely knew the guy so I didn't want to make it too showy or flashy but I really wanted to make a good second impression on him. That's when my saving grace arrived. I had texted my best friend Sarah (She was dating Cameron Dallas) and asked her to bring me an outfit that would be good for the situation. She ran into my room just to see me laying face down in the contents of my closet. "I came as fast as I..- wow, you really are a mess. " she said with a chuckle. I looked up and gave her an evil look, "Just help me. I can't mess this up!" She pulled out her bag and dumped out the contents. In it was a curling iron, Miss Me® brand skinny jeans in a Navy blue color, a black shirt with white sequins, black and white Vans®, and a bucket of make-up. "Get up and come here, you only have 15 minutes left!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~

"You look... Wow!" Sarah said. My hair was curled and she did my make-up perfectly. "You're awesome!!! Than-" "THANK ME LATER! GO!" I hugged her and said thank you and I was off.

I got there 3 minutes late, I got out of my car and looked around. The sun was just starting to set but the lake had a beautiful shimmer to it. There was a slight breeze in the air that smelled like flowers. It was perfect. "Hey Ashley! Over here!" I turned to see Jacob in his same Obey hoodie but in blue jeans this time. "You look, wow!" He said "thanks, you too" I said with a blush. We walked around the lake and just talked about music. That's when we made it to his truck. He opened the door and pulled out a beautiful acoustic guitar. "I sang for you earlier, now it's your turn." I had a mini panic attack. I wasn't ready for this! He started strumming the guitar and said, "sing Life of the Party by Shawn Mendes." I instantly knew who that was. O started singing and about half way through he joined in. When we were done we were sitting shoulder to shoulder and just gazed into each others eyes. He turned his body to me, put his hand lightly beneath my chin, and kissed me right on the lips. I kissed him back. It wasn't a very long kiss, at least 5 seconds, enough to make me feel like he was the only thing in the world. He pulled back and rested his forehead on mine and with a chuckle said, "you have such a beautiful voice." All I could manage to say was "thanks". He stood up and helped me up as well. By that time it was chilly out and I started shivering. "Here." He took off his hoodie and handed it to me. It was a little big but smelled just like him. "We held hands and he walked me to my car. "It was great seeing you again Ashley." He handed me a piece of paper with his number on it and told me to text him soon.I nodded my head and drove off.

~%~*~****~*~*~*~*~

When I got home I dropped on my bed and screamed into a pillow like a 12 year old at a 1D concert. Sarah was still there and she was sitting on the side of my bed. "WHAT WHAT WHAT???? SPILL!! WHAT HAPPENED HOW'D IT GO??" I turned over on my back with a grin from ear to ear. "It was, perfect" I said. "So I see he gave you his hoodie huh?" She said with a hinting grin. I sat straight up and looked at it. Omg! I was!!! I bent my neck down and took in a whiff. It smelled just like him. I reached into the pocket and found a small price of paper. I slowly unfolded it. Not remembering how it got there. When I opened it I started freaking out again. By that time Sarah was fed up with waiting and took the paper out of my hand. "Oh my gosh he gave you his number!!! That means the date went well and he wants to see you again!!! Tell me, how'd it go?" I sat up and leaned against the headboard of my bed. "Well..."

I woke up the next morning to the sun shining in my window through my blue curtains. I rolled over and grabbed my phone to check for any messages. I looked at my screen sleeping and read that it was 9:15am. I had WAY over slept. Luckily it was Sunday. I looked down the screen and saw that I had 4 New messages from... I screamed! He texted me back!!!! As I calmed down I unlocked my phone and read them.

Goodmorning sunshine. I thought I'd text you so you can wake up thinking about me just as I woke up thinking about you. I wanted to let you know that I thought last night was magical and I was hoping we could have lunch together today?

Oh, if it's a yes, I'll pick you up at 6:30.

By the way you looked great last night too.

I really hope we can keep seeing each other ;)

OMG! I texted Sarah and we confirmed a double date at 6:30. Her and Cam, me and Jacob at Applebees.
