The Journey // Jacob Whitesides

Chapter 7: Surprise?

**LOTS OF POV CHANGES IN THIS CHAPTER**
----------------------------------------------
*DYLAN'S POV*
My thinking was interrupted by Jacob running out the door and slamming it behind him. I decided not to worry about that. I needed to worry about Lauren. I need to find a way to make her forgive me. I didn't mean to call her a bitch. I was just angry.
*LAUREN'S POV*
I decided to text Alana and have her come over. I need to talk to her about Jacob.
*Conversation*
(a/n I changed Alana's contact name for this. enjoy the rest of the chapter!)
Me: Come over... now please.
Alanaaa🙈: On my way. What's wrong?
Me: I'll tell you when you get here.
Moments later she arrived at my house. I heard my door to my room open and I looked up. She just smiled at me.

"Spill it." She said rather demandingly. I don't know why I was so nervous to tell her. I tell her everything.

"Jacob and I kissed... Then h-he ran out." I said. I was trying not to cry. When he ran out it really hurt me. We've kissed before but not like that. Why did he run out? Does he regret the kiss? I had many questions flooding through my mind.

"He probably thought to didn't enjoy the kiss," Alana said, "Text him."
I just nodded my head. I was scared to text him but I decided to do it anyways.
*JACOB'S POV*
I was walking home when I got a text from Lauren. I didn't want to open it but I did.
*conversation*
Lauren😘: Hey....
Me: Hi..
Lauren😘: Why did you do that?
Me: Do what?
Lauren😘: Don't be stupid. Run out after we kissed?
I didn't want to answer that question because honestly I really don't know. I was scared of what she was going to say to me after the kiss. I mean we've kissed before but it was always just a peck. Not a kiss like we did. I wanted to tell her I loved her but I couldn't pull myself together to do it so I guess I just ran out. I didn't want to ruin our friendship.
*ding*
I opened my messages not caring to see who it was from.
Lauren😘: Jacob? Seriously answer my question. I know you read my message.
Me: I honestly don't know. I guess I didn't want you to say something bad to me after.
I locked my phone and decided to start walking home.
*ALANA'S POV*
I texted Jack and told him to go to Jacob's and bring him to Lauren's but tell him they are going to his house. Jack said he would do it. Lauren doesn't know we are having Jack bring him here. I'm hoping maybe they can talk things out.
*LAUREN'S POV*
I heard my front door open then slam close. I decided not to worry about it. it was probably just Dylan.

"Dylan." I said to myself. Alana just looked at me and gave me a confused look.

"What did you say?" She said, still looking at me confused. I just shook my head.

"I- uhm. Be right back." Alana said and hurried out of my room. She seemed like she was hiding something from me.

I look out my window and just watch the rain pound on my window. I started thinking about Jacob.

'Who am I for thinking that I would have a chance with him.' I thought to myself. My thoughts were interrupted my Alana and Jack walking into my room.

"Okay you are going to probably hate me for this but I just want everything back to normal." Alana says all in one breath.

"I could never hate you," I say, "Now what is it that you think I'm going to hate you about?" Alana and Jack move out of the doorway and my heart stops. Jacob.

"Surprise?" He says looking at me straight in the eyes.
