(Jane's POV)
I can't believe this, I'm falling in love with my best friend. The worst part is, I have a boyfriend! I feel so guilty, but I can't hurt Mike. He has given me everything, and I mean everything. I would still be locked up if it wasn't for him. He cares about me so much, and if I broke up with him I don't know what he would do. I feel so awful because whenever I kiss him all I can think about is Max. I haven't been seeing him as much because of this, when he asks to hang out I make some excuse up on the spot.
Every time Max and I hang out, this feeling gets stronger. I don't know how to handle it, part of me wants to never speak to her again just to avoid this, and another part of me wants to end things with Mike and be with her. I've started acting strange around her, and I think she's noticed. She always asks if I'm okay, I always say yes but that's not true. When I'm with her all I can think about is her lips on mine.
(Max's POV)Jane and Mike have been growing apart, it's obvious. I don't know why but it's probably because he's so insecure. Lucas pointed it out to me, then we told Dustin and Will, now we are all waiting for the big breakup. I know, that sounds awful, but the four of us know he is no good for Jane. He is way too clingy, and he still hasn't gotten used to me. Not only that, but I told Lucas how I felt. I am too scared to tell anyone else, I'm afraid they'll think I'm a freak. I trust Lucas though, and he took it really well. He teases me about it from time to time, but overall he is really supportive. He promised he wouldn't tell anyone.
They just hope that when the time comes, the party remains friends. I know Jane is mature enough to be friends with Mike, but I don't know if Mike is mature enough to be friends with Jane. I don't care if Mike leaves the party, to be honest the only one who is still close with him is Will. Dustin and Lucas don't really hang out with him anymore because they've noticed he's an asshole. Will and Mike have been friends since kindergarten, and they are really really close. So even if Mike does end up leaving the party, him and Will will probably remain friends. I sound like a piece of shit for wishing this upon Mike, but maybe this will smack some sense into him.
