December 2009

Christmas break. Finally.
Our band and all time low decided to spend the last day before Christmas break together, goofing around.
I got dressed in black leggings, a grey jumper, white converse and a scarf.
Nina was wearing a cute red skater dress with black boots and a black coat.
We hoped in Kevin's car since he's the only one who could drive and headed to Starbucks, where we're supposed to meet the boys. Green day blasted out of the radio as we drove.
Once we opened the café's door we were greeted by the usual scent of coffee.
I scanned the room searching for the boys. Once we saw them, we headed over to their table and greeted them.
"Ward!" Jack screamed.
"Barakat!" I screamed back and smiled. He pulled me into a bear hug as the others watched in confusion.
"Are you two dating orrr?" Rian bluntly asked.
Jack blushed and said no. Aw.
I noticed an unfamiliar girl sitting next to alex.
"Lex? Are you gonna introduce me?"
"Oh yeah. Tessa, this is Lisa, my girlfriend. Lisa, this is tessa, my best friend."
"Nice to meet you!" I smiled at her. She was so beautiful.
"The pleasure's all mine" she smiled back. I like her already.
Jack and Alex went to order the drinks.
"Jack likes you!" Lisa whispered in my ear.
Pfffft.
"He doesn't! Why would you think that?" I asked confused.
"Didn't you see the way he looks at you? And the way he blushed? It's obvious that he likes you."
Hm.
"I don't know..." I shrugged my shoulders.
She smiled then went to take her drink from Alex.
Jack handed me my cup.
We spent the time chatting, gossiping, laughing, etc.
Nina was staring at Zach the whole freaking time. I swear she has a crush on him.

I watched as Lisa sat on Alex's lap and he played with her hair.
Then jealousy hit me.
Not jealous of Lisa, of course, but jealous of their cute relationship. I sneakingly took a picture of them: Lisa was on his lap, they were staring at each other, their nose touching.
I sent it to alex. He looked at his phone and smiled.
When it got lunch time we decided to eat at Taco Bell.

I couldn't stop thinking about jack the whole time. Even Jeff noticed that I wasn't paying attention to anything.
"Hey, is there anything wrong?" He scooted over me.
"No, I'm fine. I just need some fresh air." I said as I made my way out of Taco Bell.
It was raining outside but It didn't bother me. In fact, I love the rain. Like, a lot.
I tightened my jacked and walked on the mud. I looked at the sky as I walked, not paying attention to what's in front on me. Not paying attention to anything, actually. Just walking, watching the rain drops fall on my face.
Of course, while I was walking, I made the important discovery that mud is slippery, therefore very hard to stay still while you're on it, especially when it's raining and you're wearing converses.
I prepared myself to be landing flat on my back, but instead, I stopped falling in mid-air.

Jack's POV

Once I finished stuffing my face in tacos I noticed that tessa was gone. I asked Jeff where were she and he told me that she went out for some fresh air.
That idiot, it's raining outside!
I grabbed my jacket and headed outside. I walked on the mud, hoping that I'm on the right path. The more I walked, the more the rain got heavy.
I kept waking and walking. When I finally decided to turn around, I saw her small silhouette in the distance. A smiled grew on my face as I ran to her as fast as I can.

The next thing I knew, I was sliding on the mud, catching Tessa's body mid-air between my arms.
An electricity shock ran through my veins.

The gap between our heads was getting closer.

C l o s e r
C l o s e r
C l o s e r
Closer.
I took a breath before smashing my lips on hers.

Tessa's POV
Jack kissed me.
I repeat, Jack kissed me.
Butterflies exploded in my stomach.
Who am I kidding, a whole fucking zoo exploded in my stomach.
I smiled trough the kiss as my heart raced.
When we broke out of it, we stared into each other's eyes.
Then he kissed me again.
