Mine Then, Mine Now

15

I sat at a booth in McDonalds.
I looked out the window, I pondered about so many things, I was so distracted I didn't even notice Jay come back with food.

"Babe!" He exclaimed, I flinched and looked at him, a scared look on my face.

"Yeah?" I asked.
"I asked if you wanted ketchup." He said.

"No, I'm fine." I took a bite of my burger.
I continued thinking, he looked at me.

"What?" I asked setting my food down.
"You're beautiful."
I rolled my eyes and laughed a little, "That is such a cliche move."

He nodded, "But it's true."
"What are you thinking about?" He asked.

I looked at his dark messy curls, "Mm, nothing."

"Is it Asher?"
I shook my head, "Not him, I don't know. I'm just...thinking."

We ate, casually talking about a few things, it didn't feel like anything had changed, I guess not much was supposed to change, just the tittle, right.

Then he mentioned the party we were going to, "If you're not comfortable going, we can totally skip it."

I shook my head, as much as an introvert that I could be, I didn't want to leave my bestfriend hanging(nick).

I thought a bit about this relationship, would Jay, no, he couldn't, could he? Could Jay...potentially be, my first?

First, erm, never mind...
I turned my attention to him, he would need my attention, and me being his girlfriend had to give him that, visversa.

"What?" He asked.
"Nothing, I just can't believe you of all people would like me."

He was held back for a second, "Why is that?"
I shrugged, "Maybe because, to me, you are perfect."

He gave me a goofy smile, "That's some bullshit babe, I am far from perfect, but one thing I am is, Complete. With you only, of course."

We interlocked our hands, after a few more chats he took me home.

When I got home both Caleb and Marcus sat on the cement stair at the door of the house

"I think I need to talk to them." He said and I nodded giving him a weary look.

He hopped off his bike, and walked over to my brothers who gave him sharp looks.

He was clearly nervous consider his fidgeting with his sweater sleeve.

I walked behind him, looking over his shoulder to see my brothers standing up and facing him.

"You got something to say?" Caleb asked.
Jay nodded, "with all due respect, your sister is legit the most amazing person I've ever met, If you allow me; I will cherish her, comfort her, and be by her side no matter what. You have no idea how I feel about her, so I ask both of you, may Jackie be my girlfriend?"

I couldn't help but gush and lowkey fangirl over his words.

My brothers exchanged looks, "You didn't visit her at the hospital, Why!?" Marcus asked angrily.

"Something came up." He replied.
Caleb looked irritated, "More like a whore came by?"

I was surprised at my brothers sudden anger.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Jay asked backing up a little from my brothers.

"You don't think we know about you being a cheater and fucking around with any pretty face you see?" Caleb asked aggressively.

"Caleb! What the fuck is wrong with you, why would you assume something like that? Or is it because you heard it from Maddison?" I yelled at him.
