Is It Love? ~ A Jameden Story ~

Chapter 2

Jaiden POV: I get out of the car and I walk up to the door of the house. I take a deep breath, and I ring the doorbell. I hear movement inside, and then someone opens the door. I ask, "This is the Animation House, right?" They all say yes together. I step inside and say, "Hi, I'm Jaiden." I look around and see Alex, Tim, Adam, Rebecca, Dom, and James... with his mouth hanging open?! 

Tim quickly shuts James' mouth, but... wait. Did Tim just whistle in James' ear? No way. But I should be nice and try and make friends with James.

My room is right across the hall from James' room, so we bid each other goodnight and went to bed. My room was a mess, it had boxes everywhere. But I was exhausted from the move, so I fell asleep in my clothes  with Ari on my nightstand.

The next day I noticed three things about James: One, he made a point to sit next to me at every meal. Two, when we watched a horror movie (even after I protested about it), he kept getting closer to me on the couch. And three, he was extra smiley around me. Could that mean... he likes me? What if I like him too?

James POV: Oh my gosh, I love her so much. And, I think she likes me too! Then again, I could just be fantasizing. At least she seems friendly towards me. I spent as much time as possible as I could with her today. Wait... is she crying in her room? 

Oh no, she totally is. What do I do? Do I comfort her, or would that be creepy? I think I should do it. I get out of bed and walk across the hall. I lightly tap on her door. Through her sobs, I hear her choke out "Come in..."

I open the door a crack. I see her on her bed, in pajamas. I run over and sit on her bed. "What's wrong," I ask. She says, "I...I was sleeping and I had a nightmare that everyone threw me out of the house." I say, "That would never happen! Everyone here loves you!"

Now is the time. "And.. I love you more than as a friend." She says, "I know. But I think you are going too fast. Can we settle for just friends?" I say, "Okay. Are you feeling okay now?" She says, "Yeah, you can go back to sleep now."

I return to my room, crushed. I was just friend zoned so bad. I mean, at least we're still friends. But I wish we were more. I start crying, and I don't stop for a long time.

Hey guys, I had to upload early since I had to go somewhere tonight, so I hope the ending isn't too rushed. Cya!
