"he asked me one question, i answered and he went back to practice. that's it."
"do you want to get back together with him?"
"no. i want to be with you."
"he's better for you."
"why are you being like this?"

"i want you to be happy."
"you're a really good guy."
"i know. so what was the question?"
"nothing." he opens his door and nods inside, "you coming?"
"ah sure why not."

"I'm making pizza."
"like you actually are making the dough or is it frozen?"
he lets out a laugh and we walk to the kitchen. i see the frozen pizza box next to the trash.
"figures."
"you know ive never been a good cook."
"yeah no matter how many times myta tried to teach you."

"i couldn't make a smoothie remember?"
"oh i remember. the kitchen was a mess."
"zach! I'm home!" reese runs into the kitchen, myta walking right behind her.
"oh jade, didn't know you were going to be here."
"yeah it was a surprise visit."

"hi myta. hi reese!" reese hugs me before running off to most likely her room. "hi sweetheart. how are you today?"
"I'm fine, how are you?"
"oh the usual. zach you're going to burn your pizza."
i turn around to face the stove, zach quickly took out the pizza and shut off the stove.

myta left the kitchen and went out into the living room. zach cuts up the pizza and hands me a slice, grabbing one for himself too. we finish the pizza and hang out before i get a text from my mom telling me to go home.

"I'll walk you out." we get to the front door, he opens it for me and i start walking to my car.
i then think back to what tyler said and started walking back to his house. he was still standing at the door so at least i wouldn't have to knock again. "the question he asked me was if i loved you."

"yeah?"
"yeah."
"do you?" he steps outside and closes the door behind me. "yeah. do you?"
"do i love you?"
"yeah, do you? love me?"
"yeah."
"we're saying yeah too much."
"bye jade."
"i love you."
"i love you." after that i left, feeling a lot happier.
