Loving My Bestfriend (on~hold)

secrets are better than lies!

Lauren's P.O.V

I tried to hide my confusion and need for answers as we rushed into bed trying to make as little sound as we could. It so much reminded me of when we were kids and nearly got caught sneaking chocolate cake into my room when we were 11.

Jay got in first trying not to bounce the bed and make it squeak and I swiftly got in after. Wrapping myself into the cover and squeezed my eyes shut.

I heard the bedroom door open as I felt Jay wrapped an arm over me but I couldn't blow our cover and move away from him, not that it bothered me anyway.

I heard Kelly awah to herself.

"Told you," Kelly whispered to who I guessed was Simon. Simon sighed and I heard moving.

"It's a shame she can't know," Simon whispered sadly to Kelly who just sighed.

"Her birthday is soon, Simon," She paused what on earth was she talking about. "Either way she will have to know now,"

I grew even more confused by her words. Why was the fact I was turning 18 soon mattered and what did I need to know? Where they hiding something from me?

"Come on let's go home, we can't leave Emily alone for too long," Kelly added followed by some footsteps and the door shutting.

I peeped my eyes open to make sure they had gone and twisted myself around so that I was facing a closed eye Jay.

"Jay?" I hissed at him trying to get his attention but he continued to snore softly. I groaned annoyed, I couldn't tell if he was faking or not.

"I know you're awake," I said to him but he stayed in the same position. I turned back on my back and stared up at the white ceiling. I couldn't get rid of the suspicious feeling growing in the pit of my stomach. I knew they were hiding something but what? My head swirled with possibilities but none stuck.

I looked over to Jay, did he know? I frowned at myself at the stupid thought. Jay would never hide anything from me.

Jay's P.O.V

I kept my eyes shut and faked to snore hoping she wouldn't realise and just fall asleep, I couldn't tell her what my parents meant. I wasn't allowed no matter how much it pained me to keep a secret like this from her.

I could feel her shifting around next me obvious restless about what she had just heard. I didn't blame her, my mum had spoken about her upcoming birthday, an event that had a whole different meaning to us than it did her. To us it would reveal her true self, to her it was just another birthday. Until it came round, we were under oath not to tell her anything.

Tomorrow when she woke up she would no doubt question me about tonight events and I would have to lie to her, something I hated doing. I just had to hope she would forgive me.

Finally, I heard the soft sound of her breathing that indicated she had fallen asleep. I gave a sigh of relief and pulled her resting body into mine where she belonged.

Lauren's P.O.V

Sunlight had broken through the curtains when I opened my eyes. The lucid thoughts from last night had haunted my dreams and I was far from rested. I peered over to Jay who was still sleeping, his arm still tight around my waist.

I didn't want to wake him but the sound of my grumbling stomach protested the thought of staying in bed longer than needed. It wasn't like I could go back to sleep even if I tried, my head was still full of questions.

Carefully, I untangled myself from his embrace and got out of bed. I walked over to my pine dresser and slowly opened the drawers. I picked out a white crop top and a pair of mum jeans, I for sure wasn't going to go all out on my first day.

I walked out of the bathroom to see Jay sat on my bed waiting for me. He was dressed in a basic grey sweater and black jeans, his hair was uncombed but he pulled it off well. Hell that man could pull off anything well with abs and a jaw line as strong as his. "Care to share your thoughts on last night?" I asked in a snappy tone.

He stiffened at my question. "Your mum was drunk," he shrugged and refused to meet my stare.

"That part was perfectly clear, thanks Jay" I shot back, he knew what I meant and the fact he wasn't saying anything only confirmed my suspicion that he too was hiding something from me.

I grabbed my bag and shacket and stormed out. I made my way down stairs and into the kitchen, my mum was no where in sight and I was thankful for that.

As usual, Jay had followed me and sat down at the dining table. "Listen, Ren, I'm

I got up and made my way to my dresser my back hurting from the uncomfortable floor I had slept on.

I lazily opened the draw and found a pair of tight demin jeans and a white vest top and made my way to the bathroom to get ready for school.

When I was finished and satisfied with myself, I came out of the bathroom and glanced over to Jay who was already ready and waiting patiently on the bed.

"Are you going to tell me what you were hiding last night that you pretended to sleep?" I asked me my hands on my hips.

I saw him fight back a grin and stood up. "Hello to you to Lauren, I'm good thanks you?" He said with a cheeky grin but I wasn't playing I knew he knew what his parents were on about in the room last night and I was going to find out.

"Fine," I shot back at him and stormed out of the room only for him to follow. I walked past my knocked out mom who was snoring loudly and into the kitchen.

I fell into the chair and grabbed an apple from the bowl in the middle of the table and took a angrily bite out of it glancing at Jay who was making his breakfast happily making himself at home.

I sat back into the chair and sulked what was so bad that he couldn't tell his best friend? I let out a frustrated sigh when Jay sat into the chair opposite me stuffing his face into a bowl of coco pops.

I glanced at him to find that he was already looking at me with a unreadable emotion in his eyes that I hadn't seen before but he quickly hid it and it turned into a amused look.

I shot him a glare and noticed that he had coco pops all over his mouth. Attractive. I gave me a sympathetic look unable to stay made at me and smiled at him.

I reached over and wiped the cocopops away from his mouth but when I met his skin I massive jolt of electric that I had never felt before shivered it way throughout my body.

I snatched my hand away from his face and looked away hoping he hadn't felt it to but deep down I knew he had and knew I had too.

I kept glancing around the room avoiding his eyes which were glued to me making a blush creep up on my face.

I took another bite out of my apple and coughed awkwardly as Jay stood up with his empty bowl and left it on the side of the sink.

I took a last bite out of my apple and chucked it in the bin while I made my way to the door Jay following after still saying nothing.

Jay walked past me as I held the door open and a whiff of the most desirable scent hit my nose taking a lot of effort to not fall to my knees.

"Lauren, you're eyes," Jay said snapping me out of it. I looked at him weirdly what was wrong with my eyes? "They were," He stopped running a hand through his hair. "Never mind," He said and smiled at me.

"Jay, you're losing it," I joked and he laughed nodding his head in argument. I slammed the door shut waking my mom up to enjoy the lovely hang over she was going to meet.

"Off to public school we go," He said acting kind of heroish. I rolled my eyes at him as he slung an arm over my shoulder sending volts down my neck again.

I moved away trying to block them out but they were so strong. I looked up to Jay who was looking at me hurtfully and snatched his arm back looking away from me.

Guilt washed over me as well as disappointment, God Lauren what's wrong with you today? Jay caught the disappointed in my eyes and slung his arm back over my shoulder as I couldn't help but snuggle into him.
