Promises🤞🏻 [Jaegan]

|Chapter 28|

JUSTINS POV:

as we pull up to the house, i let out a sharp breath. i feel a hand places gently on my thigh. i look over at rae.

"this was going to happen one way or another you know." he says and i nod slightly.

"i know." i say and get out of the car. raegan follows me to the front door. i hesitate but knock twice.

a few seconds later the door opens and anthony stands there looking at us. i've never seen him like this. it looks like he hasn't touched his hair or changed his clothes since yesterday.

"hey ant." i say quickly. he doesn't say anything for a moment.

"you two are together?" he asks us and raegan and i both look at each other.

"i had no where else to go." i say looking back at him. i notice he rolls his eyes a little. "can we talk?" i ask.

"i guess." he says and moves to let us in. we come in and follow him to the kitchen. he just goes in the fridge, pretending like we aren't here. "what do you want?"

"i hate to say this ant, your my best friend. but i can't hide or just ignore my feelings." i say and he shuts the refrigerator, looking at me.

"you're serious?" he asks confused. i glance at raegan quick. i feel terrible. i can't not like rae though.

"yes." i sigh. "i am so sorry. i didn't choose to feel this way, i know you love him. but we-"

"you want each other." he says cutting me off. i slightly nod. he slowly comes closer to us.

"i hope you can find somewhere in your heart to forgive both of us and maybe..let this happen." i say and he stares at me. into my eyes.

"i don't know raegan as well as i know you, and he was just my boyfriend. but you, justin..i've known you my whole life. you are my best friend. why would you expect me to be okay with this?" he asks, wiping his face from what i know we're already tears.

"hey i don't know know, okay? i just know that i like raegan. i wish i didn't, but i do." i ramble quickly and he shakes his head at me.

"ant-"

"no. don't ant me. i thought you loved me." he says, cutting off raegan.

"i'm sorry" he says gently.

"oh my god stop with all the apologies! i don't accept them." he yells a bit. and then it's quiet for a few seconds.

"if you want to date raegan, you better want to live with him too." he says and my eyes widen at him. he squeezed through us and walks away. i'm frozen. i can't move.

"hey." i look forward and see rae standing in front of me now. he pushes his body close to mine and we stare into each others eyes. "you okay?" he asks me.

i shake my head slightly. i can't talk. i can't move. what am i supposed to do? i'm horrible.

"i'm such a disgrace to him." i almost whisper and he just hugs me gently. i squeeze his body, not wanting to let go.

"no you're not." he kisses my head lightly and squeezes me back. my breathe comes out of my mouth choppy. i want to break down. but i'm holding it in.

"i need to choose. that's what he's saying." i point out and raegan looks down at me. i can see the fear in his eyes. i don't want to lose him or raegan.

first it was choosing between jayden or anthony and raegan. now i need to choose between my best friend and the boy i think i love. anyone else would chose their best friend. but i don't want to lose raegan. i want him. so bad.

but anthony. my best friend for my whole life. he took me into his house. he's been nothing but good at me all my life.

"ant?!" i yell, ripping away from raegans grip and running up the stairs. when i get to the top i just see him standing against door bedroom, facing it. i walk closer to him and touch his shoulder. but he doesn't move. "i know i'm being totally unrealistic by assuming you would be okay with raegan and i dating. i also know what you've been nothing but good to me all my life. you gave me a home. you did so much for me."

he turns around slowly and looks into my eyes. i can see the pain in his eyes. "i love you, justin."

"i love you too, but please. don't make me choose." i beg. he looks down slightly.

"i don't think i deserve this. i still feel something for raegan and here you are, wanting to date him. i respect myself more." he says and i feel my heart shake. he opens his bedroom door and i just stare at him. he closes the door and i just stand there, looking at nothing.

"jay?" i hear quietly behind me and i turn around slowly. he's just standing there, looking at me.

"i think you should go." i say. he shakes his head.

"hey no no don't do this." he says coming closer to me and reaching for my hands.

"please." i spit out. "just go."

his face drops and he lets go of my hands. i don't know what to do. at all. i don't want him to leave. but he should.

"i'm not leaving you." he pouts. "i know you want to stay with your best friend. but do not push me away. not now especially."

i don't say anything and just gently put my hands on his shoulders. i lean forward and kiss him, feeling him kiss back instantly and wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. our lips lock and unlock for a few seconds until i pull away.

"i can't push you away. i couldn't." i whisper to him and he smiles a little. "i'll figure it out." i tell him and he nods.

ayyy what's going on?
