She was Jennifer
He was James
In the teenage world full of crushes, drama, fun, and tears, Jen and James thought they've seen it all. Since birth they've been inseparable. Now, it's the ending of summer and the beginning of their senior year at Heav...
It felt so natural to have his lips moving against mine and I almost didn't want to stop.
That was until I realized how we got started.
I pull away, my lungs screaming for oxygen.
The kiss lasted for a hot minute.
To hold my breath while thoughts of Bear occupy my mind almost has me weak.
Getting back to why I stopped in the first place, I sat up in the hospital bed, wondering what else everyone is hiding from me.
"I'm sorry but that was the only way to stop you from screaming. The doctor said you should try to rest and told me not to do anything to upset you and make your head hurt worse."
I nodded before looking towards the door.
There, Cayden and Kyra stood with guilty looks in their faces.
I motioned for them to start explaining themselves before I was stopped by James once again.
"Just remember that they didn't mean to hide anything from you." He said with a kiss on my forehead before walking out, nodding towards the two idiots I call friends.
I motioned for them to fully enter the room once again.
When no one begins to speak, I do.
"So..."
"We're really sorry Jen." That came from Cayden.
"Yea and I was gonna tell you almost every day for the past few weeks but everything got so 'messed up' and welp-" Kyra is cut off by Cayden as he finishes her sentence.
"We somehow ended up here" Cayden waves his arms in the air, trying to prove their point.
"What do you mean 'messed up'?" I ask cautiously.
"I had a pregnancy scare," Kyra says casually as if it was nothing out of the usual.
"WHAT?! AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO TELL ME?!"
"Home Fries, relax bro. It was only because her period hadn't come for a few days after it was supposed to." Cayden replies.
"How many days?"
"About two but we had just done the deed a few days before my period came so we both got scared," Kyra explained calmly.
"Are y'all ok now?"
"Yea but we really should be asking you that. How ya feeling, Big Potato?"
"I feel a lot better now that I know the truth." I said before a new thought occupied my mind.
"Wait— is there anything else that I should know before we get all mushy?"
"Nope" They reply together.
With that, they rush towards me and crush me in a tight hug, leaving afterward.
As soon as the door closes, it reopens and in walks Shae and Cora.
"Hey girly" That was Cora.
"Hey guys, I'm ready to get outta here," I say tiredly.
A headache is starting to form and it's coming on strong.
"Yea, I just called the fam and your parents are out of town so Royal is coming since Kyra couldn't remember her number," Shae says.
"Why exactly do you have Royalty's number?"
"We don't have to talk about that" he replied.
"Yes we do; no more secrets between us ok?"
"Ok well I kinda have it because a few years back, I meant to call you after getting your new number but it got deleted so I tried to remember it and ended up dialing Royalty by accident." He paused before continuing. "And then she gave me your number and that was the day you claimed that I 'made you break your arm in 2 places.'"
I wanted to question his story but seeing the constipated look on his face made me stop.
I could feel my eyelids getting heavier by the minute.
Shae and Cora said goodbye and left the hospital room.
Before sleep fully took over me, I felt a slight kiss on my forehead and heard a deep voice whisper,
"Goodnight baby girl"
Did he ever leave the room?
