Promises🤞🏻 [Jaegan]

|Chapter 23|

JUSTINS POV:

raegan: come over

me: i've been trying to talk to anthony. you should be doing the same

raegan: i'll make it easy for him. come over

me: no

raegan: oh come on justin :( please?

i slap my phone down on the couch and cross my arms. he's being annoying. i'm trying to gain my best friends trust back and he's just trying to get me? he really wants me?

i hear a noise and i look up to see anthony coming down the stairs. he doesn't even look at me as he walks out of the house. i didn't even comprehend trying to say anything. i just sit here. i want to talk to him but right now i don't know what to say. he won't listen. he'll just keep asking about my feelings for raegan.

maybe ten or fifteen minutes later, i see raegan walk into my house. i stand up and look at him confused.

"what are you doing here?" i ask and he just walks towards me, not saying a word.

"stop and tell me wha-" i'm cut off by his hands grabbing my face and smashing his lips into mine. for a second i felt like time stopped. the way he kisses me, especially right now, gives me goosebumps and makes me want him more than anything.

"stop stop." i realize what i'm doing and pull away. i feel anger build up in my body and i want to scream.

"just kiss me." he says quietly and his voice is full with almost lust. he tries to come close to me.

"are you crazy raegan?!" i yell at him. his eyes widen and he looks at me confused. how does he not know what i'm talking about.

"i-i-"

"you nothing. what the hell are you thinking? do you not care about anthony at all?" i ask, my blood boiling. why would we want to kiss me right now?

"i do..it's just.."

"you don't even know rae. you're confused as hell." i fire at him and he shakes his head.

"i'm not confused. i want you." he says louder to me. i shake my head and his eyes drop. he can't want me. he just can't. just like i can't want him.

"i told you already, you can't." i explain and he turns around, running his fingers through his hair in frustration. this isn't fair. he's better than this.

"i know you care about anthony more than anything." he snaps back at me. "and yes i do too but justin...ever since we first kissed i've felt nothing but fireworks around you. every time i look at you, i just want to kiss you again. i can't not want you. and i think you want me too." he says and i can see the look in his eyes. he meant every word he just said. fuck.

"of course i want you! but anthony would never forgive us and i need him in my life. i only want you in my life rae. there's a difference." i cross my arms at him and he stands there, staring at me.

"you admit it. you want me. so you either tell anthony about how we feel about each other..or i will." he says and i give him a desperate look. i feel my eyes swell with tears and they release down my cheeks quickly.

"i can't do that to him rae. we aren't meant for each other." i say loudly and sit back down on the couch. i put my face in my hands. i don't want to talk about this right now.

i feel him sit next to me and put his hand on my back. "don't touch me right now." i mumble to him and move myself over a few spots.

"come on justin-"

"no raegan, you come on." i snap, looking up to face him. "you have been dating anthony for a while now, how could you want to do this to him? he's an amazing guy and i don't care if you don't care that he'll be mad at you, i do. i live with him. he's my best friend!" i explain to him and he just looks at me, having no sympathy in his eyes at all.

"you're right, i don't care. because what i feel for you is way stronger." he says. what?

"you've only liked me for a few days. you've dated anthony for months now. what's wrong with you?" i ask trying to get answers. i can't believe this is happening.

"what's wrong with me for liking you?" he asks confused and sarcastically. i shake my head at him.

"never mind. just go." i snap again at him.

"wait." he says and tries to get closer to me. i let him this time.

"what." i look into his eyes and he puts his pointer finger under my chin. "don't you dare think about kissing me." i say quietly.

he doesn't answer and just looks at me. he smirks a little and kisses my forehead. he then just gets up and leaves the house. i just sit here, speechless.

i'm so stuck in the middle right now. the boy i like and my best friend. i'll pick my best friend over anything but i need to talk to him. if i don't, raegan will. i really just to kiss raegan again. just one more time if not a lot more times.

i hear the front screen door open and i look at see ant walking in. then someone behind him. jayden. wait.

"jayden?" i ask confused as hell. ant grabs his hand drags him over to me. what the hell is going on?
