jack and i walk into my apartment and we immediately are being greeted by nia, sam, nate and sophia. i jump a little at the sight of them all being here. i wasn't expecting it. sam was passed out on the couch with sophia on his chest while nate and nia were watching forensic files, shoving chips in their mouth. the two of their attention adverts from my tv and over at the two of us. "about time. we've been here since nine" nia shakes her head at us making me smile some. "you know, this doesn't exactly look like watering the plants to me" i smile at her thinking about how she agreed to water my three plants while i was gone. "we kind of just decided that we liked your place better than ours" she shrugs making jack and i laugh. "we are all moving in" nate smiles at me and i shrug. honestly, me and nia has always talked about living with each other all through out high school. it never happened... we both had too much on our plate to even think about finding an apartment. "be my guest"

"anyways, enough with the beating around the bush... how are things with you twoooo?" nia smirks are me, throwing another dorito in her mouth. jack and i both look at each other and smile out of habit. the smile he gave me really made my heart just feel completely warm and it's by far one of the best feelings. "perfect" we both say at the same time. "awww" nate says in a high pitched girly voice. nia's head immediately turns to him and she raises her eyebrows. "baby" she points at sophia and sam still asleep on the couch. "oh shit, right... sorry" he winces. "awwww" nate adds in a quieter girly voice. "better"

"you know, we knew something was up. we knew it." nate points between the two of us. i let out an awkward laugh. "guys, honestly we were going to tell you."i tell him and he nods. "i know, i know. its just weird seeing it on an article online before hearing it from you guys..." he trails off. "that wasn't planned" jack laughs, looking down at me. i know jack, and of course with knowing jack... there's no doubt in my mind that he is at a loss for words right now. he's never really good with this type of stuff. at first when we first met he was, but then gradually... i became the one that's better at the questions. in my opinion, that just makes our relationship stronger... me being more qualified in areas that he's not and vise versa. we really do make a good couple if you think about it. we always have. we never fought a lot, it was always smiles and laughs all the time. if we did fight, we talked about it and confronted the situation. there's no doubt in my mind that he likes me, so i know i'm not getting played or anything. it's real and it's serious between the two of us. i'd like to believe that it always has ever since we've met.

i can't help but smile at the thought of the first time we met. it's really kind of funny how nervous we both actually were how that i look back on it. he was drunk and stuttering and i was completely sober and choking on my words. after all the awkward conversations and times we shared, even more came dating all the way back to our very first kiss. not the one at the party where he asked me to... the one where i tried to kiss his cheek and things just happened. i know you wouldn't necessarily call it a real kiss, but in a way it kind of was. well to me at least now that i think about it. our lips touched, even if it was for .5 seconds... it still matters. it was the start to something beautiful. the beautiful being all of our laughs, smiles, fights, naps, races and i love you's.

the i love you's, id have to say those were my favorite. it really meant something to us. the feelings we shared were real. we didn't have to make it up. it was genuine and i know it was mutual. i could tel just by the way he'd look at me, like i was the only thing in the room that mattered at the moment. sometimes, i feel like i still catch a glimpse of that in his eye. i know for a fact it was there the first time we hooked up after the break up. it makes me wonder if he was feeling how he used to towards me. completely in love with me, but then again that'd be crazy... still being hopelessly in love with someone who broke your heart three years ago. i honestly don't even know why he'd give me another go at it, i was awful to him during the break up. i think it's the rudest i've ever been. i could have handled it differently. i could have done it in a way that i know wouldn't have hurt him as bad, instead of handing him a box of all of his things and telling him how i couldn't do it anymore and how we we're both onto two different paths. i was a complete bitch.

"it was just in the moment" i explain for the third time since it's happened. "she saw the opportunity and went for it. respect." nate nods at me, nodding back in response we both burst into laughter. "okay, enough about us." i laugh, starting to think about all the posts, articles and comments people have said to us the past week. some were great and supportive.. just them being amazing fans to both jack and i but others.. they were completely destructive and hateful. it makes me wonder how some people can go on about their lives being that hateful.

if it's not your life, you just simply shouldn't be so caught up in it.

"how were things while we were gone...?" i change the subject and nate laughs. "awful. do you know how many times i had nobody to hang out with while they were busy?" he sighs, shaking his head at me. "you could have just called" jack shrugs making me look over at him. "umm, i think he was talking to me..." i laugh jacks face falls which makes nate and i laugh even harder. "awkwaarrddd" i wince and eventually nate ends up laughing loud enough to wake up sam.

he sits up slowly, being sure not to wake up sophia and rubs his eyes. he looks around for a split second and smiles. "oh wow. you're back? hey guys" he smiles, sounding amazed. we all laugh and i smile at him, taking in how long the week actually felt.

three years was one thing, but this past week felt even longer.
