What Happens in the Isle, Stays in the Isle

Chapter 20

Mals POV

Seeing Carlos on the other side broke my heart. I wish we could all be together again. "So have you guys gone and seen our parents?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and stomped my foot. "Mal doesnt want too. We were going to head today but then Jane Called us." Jay said.  "Its not that i dont wanna see them, just we've changed." I said. 

Harry held my hand. "Carlos we need to get back." Jane said. I let go of Harry and put my head on Jays shoulder. "We miss you, and theres always a home here." I said. "Thanks Mal." He said. Jay laughed a little. "No really, they bought a big enough house for all of us. You have your own room." Jay said. Carlos's eyes widdened. "Really?" He asked. WE nodded. "I wanted to make sure you guys had a place to go." I smiled. "Carlos, we really need to go." Jane said. I blew him a kiss. "I'll talk to you soon." I shouted, as did Jay. "We love you."  We both shouted at him, before he got into the car and drove away. 

As soon as he did, jay pulled me close to him as i cried. "I miss him." I whispered as we just held eachother. The four of us have been inseparable for as long as i can remember. Now we were seprated by this stupid barrier. "Hey love." Harry said putting his hands on my back. "I got this one." Jay said to him. I looked up at Harry and just smiled. "I think i'm going to spend the day with Jay." I said kissing his cheek. "Of course. I'm going to help Uma and Gil at the Diner, i'll see you later." He said kissing my head. 

As he walked away i just looked out into the body of water separating us. "Jay." "I know." He said. "Come on." He said leading me away and back to the city. He started to run and jump onto a roof, i followed him closely, he was faster then me though. After jumping again, i almost fell, and he had to grab my arm. I knew where he was leading me. He slowly opened up the window of the old church's attic and held it open for me as i jumped in. 

"I can't believe it, its exsactly how we left it."  I said as he jumped down behind me. Our hold hidding spot. The dust covered chairs exsactly where we left them Sketch books, covered the floor, cards, board games. Everything. "I can't believe no one has found it." He said sitting down on his spot as i sat down on mine. "God, so many memories." I whispered. "Tell me about it." 

Flash Back. 

"Okay Mal, truth or dare." Evie asked me. I smirked. "dare." I said. "Hmmm." She said putting her finger under her chin. Oh god, shes thinking of something good. I've never backed down from a dare before.  "I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven with Jay." She said. All of our eyes widdened. Jay was my best friend. This is super weird, i've never thought of him like that in any way. But i couldnt back down. "You can always chicken out." Evie teased "Not happening." I said standing up and grabbing his hand. He was just as shocked as i was. 

I pulled him into the small closet and closed the door as Evie locked it. I could barely see anything. Besides i felt him close to me. I was blushing so hard right now, and i was nervous. "Sorry Evie dragged you into this." I whispered to him. "It was bound to happen." He laughed. I stood there awkwardly. "So, i mean, we dont need to really do anything." I whispered. "Ya i guess we dont." He said as he grabbed my hands ligthly. "I've never kissed anyone." I told him truthfully. "Me niether." He said. 

"Bull, you always have the girls after you." I said. "I do, but i've never kissed any of them." He said as i felt his hand push a piece of hair from my face. "Maybe we should just get it over with." I suggest. "Maybe we should." He said as he started to lean in. "Jay, i'm nervous." I stopped him. "Dont worry, just trust me." his soft words spoke. I closed my eyes and leaned in as we close the gap, our lips touching. 

We paused for a moment, this was it, this was my first kiss. But then i stopped over thinking it, and started to really kiss him, let our lips move with eachothers. Now, both of his hands were on the sides of face as we just enjoyed this moment together. I heard a timmer outside, "times up." Evie shouted. Jays hands left the side of my face, but our eyes locked. "That was." We were cut off by the door swinging open. "Oh my god what did you guys do?" Evie asked us. "Nothing, dont worry about it." Jay said. I just smiled. "I think its time we head to bed. Are we staying here?" I asked them. All of them nodded as i went back and grabbed the blankets from the closet.

I tossed them to everyone as they were getting ready for bed. I blew out some candles, and put my pillow on the floor as i cuddled up. "Goodnight." I shouted to everyone. "Night." They called out. I couldnt stop thinking about that kiss. My first kiss. After about 30 minutes or so, i heard Carlos snoring. Felt a hand touching my shoulder. I looked up to see Jay. "Come on." he said helping me up. We snuck out the window and went to the roof. 

We looked out to the light across the water. "Thats so beautiful." I said pointing. "It really is." He commented. I shivers a little as the wind blew. He put his arm around me and brought me in closer. It was comforting, warm. "Mal, i just wanted to say that kiss was." I cut him off. "Amazing." I said. I could see his face blush up. "I was going to say special, but ya amazing works." He said. I blushed a little and looked down. 

"Can i kiss you again?" He asked me. I looked up and nodded. "Yes."  I said as we both leaned in, our lips touching. He pulled me up on his lap, his hands going to my wasit. It just felt so nice, so natural. We pulled back for air, before kissing again. I dont know how long we were doing this for before the wind started to pick up. "We should go back inside." I suggested. He nodded. I got up off of him and went to go back when he grabbed my hand. "Mal, i can't ruin our friendship." He said. I sighed. Over before it even started. "I agree, lets just, i dont know,  if this is going to be the last time i get to kiss you." I said. He pulled me to him. our lips smashing once more. This time it was hungry and passion. More then before. "Then its gotta be one hell of a kiss." He smirked. "Exsactly." I said before walking down and opening the window. 

Flash back over.

Reality. 

"You know, Evie still doesnt know." I giggled thinking about the memory. "Neither does Carlos." He said. "It was the best desion i've ever made. I can't even think about what would of happened if things ended baddly." He said. I got up and sat beside him on his couch. "I dont know, i can't imagine you not in my life." I told him honestly. He opened his arms to me as i cuddled into his chest. "I still dont regret it." He whispered. "Neither do i." I said closing my eyes as i drifted to sleep. 

A/N 

OKay first off dont hate me. I really wanted to write this chapter, to explain how/why jay and mal are so close at least in my eyes if that makes sense. 

This chapter was so sweet and cute. 

Don't worry, this doesnt effect Mal and Harry, its just a little bit of a back story i guess. 

I do love Mal and Jay together, and debating on doing a story based on that for my next fanfic so let me know in the comment on what you think. 

Thank you for all the love and suport i'm getting, you guys are the reason i'm still writing this.
