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...
I receive a text from Jen saying that we need to talk.
Those words never seemed good...
With how things are going now, I don't want anything to change.
Making my way back up to Jen's hospital room, I try not to drop the pile of food and junk that I collected from the Cafe and Gift Shop.
With one foot pushing Jen's cracked door open and my hands balancing the items, I finally and safely make it into the room.
Arriving there, Jen is knocked out and tangled in the sheets.
She seems so peaceful and perfect at this moment that I want to take a picture.
That's exactly what I do.
Although it may seem creepy, it really wasn't.
Just think of taking a picture of the most beautiful thing in front of your eyes and keeping it forever.
Ok, that sounds creepier...
Anyway, placing my phone down, I dig into the food and wrap the gifts I bought for Jen.
I got her a rose gold teddy bear and some of her favorite candy.
Just as I finish and place it on the chair beside me, my phone rings.
I try to answer it before it begins to ring too loudly and wakes up Jen.
Fortunately, I get it just in time.
It's Alex.
(A/N: I hope this doesn't get too confusing...)
J- James A- Alex
"Hey bro, what's up"
"Nothing much, I'm just calling to remind you that Kayla's 18th is on Saturday"
"Damn, it's been a month already? It feels like we just started school"
"Nah, the invites just had the wrong month on it. You're coming though, right?"
"Yea, of course"
"Is Jen coming?"
"Yea, she wouldn't miss a party of Kayla's for the world. Thanks for the reminder though"
"No problem man, I'll catch you later"
"Aight bro"
Right after the call ends, a voice speaks up.
"I smell food..."
"You're correct, I did bring food but did I wake you up?
"Nah, you're good. I just really want food right now."
"Ok, I got you some mashed potatoes and gravy with steak and veggies."
I hand Jen her food and she digs in.
"Mmmm, this is so good. Thanks, Bear"
"Only for you, Baby girl"
After a few minutes of eating, I speak up.
"So you said you wanted to talk?"
"Oh yea, um, it's about us. What are we?"
"What do you mean, we're best friends."
My mind is now racing along with my heart.
"Oh ok..."
"Why do you ask"
"Well maybe it because we've kissed multiple times and best friends don't do that."
Her heart monitor is now rapidly beeping.
"What do you mean. It was like once and an accident."
"Mhm, I don't know why I even asked"
"I'm still not catching onto your point"
"You know what, just leave. I'll see and talk to you later." She says, sounding slightly upset.
I'm upset, what does she want me to do.
If we become more, shit can get ruined fast and I don't wanna lose her.
"Whatever, call someone else to get you home."
"I WILL!"
Although we're fighting, I still kiss her forehead and collect my things, heading out the door quietly.
I have a feeling that I just fucked things up, again...
