THE BADBOY NEXT DOOR (completed)

Crying for the Bad Boy

Why is he so confusing?
For some reason my eyes start welling up with tears and one cascades slowly down my right cheek.

Why am I crying? Just because I don't know what he's going to make me do? Or because he left me for sleep? Does he hate me?
Once the tears start there's no stopping, one after the other, my white shirt is saturated, and now see through, making me cry even more.

After I finally stop crying I hop into some dry pjs and snuggle under the covers, why does it seem like my bed is missing something.... or more importantly someone. Stop it Aliya don't think like that!

I wonder what Jake is doing right now, is he asleep yet? As peaceful as he looks when he's asleep, nothing compares to when he's awake and I can stare into his mesmerizing eyes, those gorgeous orbs that haunt my sweetest dreams. Even though I left the window open and it's a tad cold the thought of Jake warms me right up and lulls me to sleep.

*********************

I awake in a coughing fit, opening my eyes to see smoke surrounding my room, coming through my window.

I jump out of bed, but because I had only just woke up my legs were jelly and I fall to the floor, and crawl over to the window pushing it all the way open. The sight before my eyes causes my heart to stop. No no no no no no no noooooo this cannot be happening. Jake's house is in flames the smoke blurring my vision.

I yell out to him "JAKE!!!!" Oh please be okay! "Jake can you hear me?" I yell some more.

"Aliya?" I hear a muffled voice that I could recognize anywhere as Jake call back to me.

"Jake, Jake where are you?" I call out to him,

"Aliya I'm here" his face now clear to me through the smoke, oh no my baby is still in his room!

"Jake you need to get out of there! Jump out of the window, quickly!" My panicked voice screams to him.

"I can't, I'm crippled" his weak voice squeaks to me.

"No Jake you can't die, I LOVE YOU!" I yell to him.

"Aliya I love you more!!"

***************

I awaken, my heart pounding, sweat dripping down my forehead, panting breathlessly I quickly throw off the sheets to see Jake's house still standing. I let out a sigh of relief. My baby's safe!! A tear of relief slowly trails down my face.

That dream felt so real! Thank goodness he's okay. I stop for a moment to think about my dream. It felt so real. I can't imagine what I would do without him. His dreamy smile, his beautiful green orbs, the way he has that one smile reserved just for me, how gentle and caring yet serious he is, the way he always knows what to say... oh screw it I'm in love with him! I've never felt this way about anyone before.

Oh arancini balls! What am I meant to do now.

***************

School went by in such a blur, I barely even got to talk to anyone cause I was preoccupied with thinking about how I love Jake.

I'm in my last class, photography. Just scrolling through my phone when someone puts a hand on my shoulder. I turn to see none other than the JD.

"Ah! What the crap? You scared me." I complain.

"Sorry baby, I didn't mean to startle you." He says and flashes a smile that was supposed to be charming but was a little creepy.

"Well you did startle me. And don't call me baby!" I growl.
