You're My Forever

Staring | 27

Tuesday...(Veronica's P.O.V)

Ever since Friday when I figured out that I did in fact have feelings for Jack, I didn't want to tell anybody because I honestly felt kind of embarrassed. I mean, he'd been my best friend since birth and now suddenly I have romantic feelings for him? Well I guess it made sense that this happened after we became friends again from almost a year apart though...

But anyway, I got out of bed and went to my closet. I got dressed in an oversized light grey sweatshirt and some black denim shorts. I left my hair down, brushed my teeth, then went to school with Jack.

Lunch...

I went to my locker after the lunch bell rang to swap out my binders. Almost right when I got there, Shayna showed up.

Oh, hey." I greeted her. "Hey, I was nearby so I just decided to come here and walk with you." She told me with a smile.

I took this opportunity to just tell Shayna about Jack. She was the only one who knew everything so I just decided to tell her this as well.

"Shay.. I have to tell you something..." I said nervously as I turned to her. "Is it about Jack?" She asked. I nodded, looking down. "You have feelings for him.. don't you?" She asked me quietly, grabbing both of my hands. "Yeah..." I whispered, feeling shame.

"It's ok, Roni.." She pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back loosely. "feelings aren't something you can control. You'll get over it. It's probably just a phase." She told me. "I really hope your right.." I sighed.

"Alright," She pulled back from the hug. "I'll let you think things through a bit. I'll be in the caf' with the guys." She told me. I nodded, we said goodbye and she left. Once she left, I continued to do what I needed to do in my locker.

Only like a minute later, I felt a tap on my shoulder behind me. I turned around and right when I did, I felt a huge sting on my left cheek. Someone just slapped me.. My hand quickly went to my cheek out of reflex. After a couple seconds, I looked up to see Dara and Ema.. From where they were standing, it looked like Dara was the one who slapped me.

"Ow, what's your problem!" I shouted, still feeling the stinging sensation. "You're our problem!" Suddenly she slapped me again, even harder this time. I felt tears forming in my eyes a little bit from the pain. "Can you stop!" I shouted at them in pure anger.

"Well you deserve it for getting Alena kicked off the team!" Ema told me. "There'll be plenty more where that came from." Dara said before they walked off, not letting me have a word in.

I groan in anger, slamming my locker shut then leaning my back against it. I slid down my locker so I was against it. The pain from the slaps didn't go away even a little bit.

About two minutes later, my third guest showed up. I saw Jack walk up to me.

"Hey. What're you doing here, we've been waiting for you." He told me, looking down at me. "Dara and Ema gave me a surprise visit.." I sighed. "Oh no.." He sat right beside me. "Did they do something?" He asked me. "Yes.. This." I pointed to my cheek because I knew for a fact that it was red as hell. He looked at my cheek and his eyes widened.

"Damn.. Are you ok?" He asked, putting his arm around me. My head fell onto his shoulder. I took a deep breath, trying to compose the feelings that were building up inside me as that happened. "Yeah, but it still really hurts.." I sighed.

Jackson's P.O.V...

I looked down at her as she rested her head on my shoulder. She looked straight ahead so she couldn't see me looking at her.

I started getting that feeling again. It almost felt like.. butterflies in my stomach..? This feeling has happened multiple times when I looked at her between the first time it happened on Friday and now.
