An Unexpected Turn of Events ~5SOS~

22.

I cried after the boys left.

 Jacob and I sat on my bed; he was holding me while I cried like a baby into his chest.

 I knew Jake didn't know why I was crying- he knew I wasn't upset about them leaving since I would be seeing them in less than a week.

 "Charlie, you have to calm down. You've been crying for almost an hour. What's wrong?" He asked.

 I was so afraid to answer him.

 "Charlie please."

 I sighed, "I figured it out."

 "Figured what out?" He pestered.

 "I'm not sure what 'it' is but I realized something that I should've seen coming when I was in Ireland," I explained, trying not to give too much away.

 I loved and trusted Jacob with every ounce of my being but it was just so hard to admit to him that I had feelings for that blond dork who used to be a dick.

 I could hear Abigail's voice saying over and over in my head, "I told you so."

 "Just tell me dammit," Jake said, annoyed.

 I mumbled into his chest, "I like Luke."

 "Well I could've told you that!" He exclaimed.

 "How? What the fudge-nuggets?"

 "Charlie it's so obvious! Whether you knew it or not you liked him a long time ago. I'm your best friend. I always know what you're thinking," Jacob explained.

 "Then why was I crying? Because, I don't even know why."

 "Because admitting it hurts. You're afraid he doesn't feel the same way and you think you can't afford to lose him because of Ashton, Calum and Mike. But they aren't ever going to leave you alone Charlie. They love you too much. I think they'd take you everywhere if they could," Jake laughed.

 "I hate when you're right," I huffed.

 "I'm just smarter than you," he joked.

 "In your dreams Prine."

 Jacob comforted me the rest of the day, we sat and watched Disney movies, we sang loudly and off key to Mulan, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and eventually Aladdin.

 In total we ate five bags of popcorn, two tubs of ice cream, three boxes of Sour Patch Kids and two bags of pretzels in our little movie marathon.
