A/N: alright so I'm not sure what happened, maybe it did upload maybe it didn't, but oh well then there'll just be 2 chapter 13's eh. so if this gets any comments I'll update by tonight or tomorrow.

I know it's slow but keep reading it'll get better I promise! xo

"Luke!" I yell, "Wait!" I see him slow down and stop as I reach him, gasping for air and tears building.

"Luke.." I say. he turns to face me. anger is written all over his face.

"Luke, Luke. Luke I promise you, I promise, he kissed me. I didn't kiss back, I swear! Luke, please believe me."

his eyes darken.

"Did you know, that I like you so much, Jess. I would do anything for you to like me back. and then- the other day, you kissed me back and I thought, maybe, just maybe she likes me back. it sounds crazy but maybe. and then you go and get with my brother? Why would you do that Jess?! please tell me why because I'm not entirely sure what is going on here. why the fuck would you kiss me if you wanted Beau!?"

I crumple. "I didn't.. I don't want Beau, Luke. I- I want you."

his eyes widen.

then he glares at me. "you don't. you don't mean that. I can't believe that because then when I think everything is finally okay, something will happen and I will be the one, left alone, alone and sad and you-" he is cut off by me grabbing his hand and pulling him close to me.

"Luke. shhh. everything is going to be okay. just know this; I want you, stumble through the door, laughing. Luke links his hands in mine and kisses me, pushing me backwards onto the couch. I smile and he pecks my lips as he lowers me down. he kisses my chin and my cheekbone and then my lips. the kiss is passionate and my hands move from his waist to entangle themselves in his curls. Luke is getting really into it, passionately kissing me and slips his tongue into my mouth. one of his hands is beside my head and the other resting on my hipbone, and I can feel him getting, uh, excited.

suddenly somebody clears their throat. Luke groans.

"Go away," he mumbles against my lips.

"Oh, God. seriously guys, gross. get a room." Jai complains.

I sigh and pull away from Luke. he resists, pulling me back towards him.

"Jai, can I just say that I would let you and Ariana make out." I say.

"that's because we are two beautiful people doing a beautiful thing." he grins. I make a face.

"grossssss, Jai. plus, I'm pretty sure you have yet to meet her."

he sticks his tongue out at me.

"you're grossssss." he mimicks. I throw a pillow at him.

Luke's arms remain around my waist. I stand up.

"I have to go talk to your brother anyway, sorry Luke. later, promise." I wink, before leaning in and saying quietly. "I promise nothing will happen. please trust me." he still looks uncomfortable and I say "I'll miss you." and he winks.

I hear him and Jai talking as I walk away.

I find Beau in his room and gently knock on the doorframe. he looks up and smiles at me, beckoning me in.

"Hey boy." I say, climbing to sit cross-legged on his bed opposite him.

"Hey girl." he puts his laptop to the side and shuffles closer.

"so.." I begin. he holds his hand up.

"Jess, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen and I didn't want to ruin anything. especially between you and Luke. I know how he feels about you. but- I couldn't hold it in. I really am sorry. but I'm not sorry for liking you. that, I can't help. it's all your fault." he smiles.

I smile sadly, back at him.

"Beau.." I say. "I don't want you to feel bad... for any of this. I know you didn't mean it. everything's okay now," I say.

he sighs. "for you, yeah."

"look, I'm so sorry Beau, I really am. but there is somebody out there that deserves you, that is so much better for you than I could ever be. and I love you Beau, but friendship is all it will ever be. I'm so sorry. please don't hate me. I would hate for this to come between us, or between you and Luke."

he smiles slowly at me.

"of course I don't hate you. it's not your fault. I'm sorry I kissed you, Jess. I promise I won't let this come between any of us."

Beau's P.O.V:

yeah, I lied. I'm not sorry for kissing her. it was the best kiss of my life, she's perfect for me. I can't believe she doesn't want me. but I guess that's it, I have to get over it. she's Luke's, and I knew that from the start. stupid, so stupid. it all seemed so perfect, and then it was all just a fantasy, my dream.

god, I need to snap out of it. I'm sure there must be heaps of girls that would be willing to be with me. why Jess? am I that stupid? I look up and she is just sitting there sweetly watching me, smiling slightly.

"I hope things work out well for you Beau. I really do. you're a good guy, you deserve it." she says softly. oh god why.

"thanks Jess. you too babe." I reply. she smiles and leans forward to kiss me on the cheek. I get the biggest urge to just grab her and kiss her, but no. I can't. I sigh as she walks out the door, and climb under my covers. I need to sleep.

Jess' P.O.V:

"Hey," I sigh as I cuddle up to Luke.

"Hi." he replies, kissing my head.

that triggers something in my mind. we are acting like a couple, but are we? I don't know. we never really.. talked about it. oh god, I can't just let it go. I have to ask him. but what if that scares him off? shit, if I ask him, will he hypothetically dump me, since we're not even together? wait what. I'm confused. I have to talk to him I have to talk to him I have to-

"Luke?"

"Mm?"

I hesitate. uhhhhhh.

"I'll be back." I say, standing up. he groans.

"you better be."

I grin and walk outside, getting out my phone.

Cece's phone rings for like a year and just when I'm about to hang up she answers.

"JESSSSSS."

"CEECCCEEE."

"so, Jess. what's goin' on? where you been, huh? you realise I had to like, half get out of bed, half like- you know, my legs were still in bed but I was like stretching out- half crawling, I couldn't reach my phone, I fell out of bed, ugh so I'm sitting on the floor, what're you up to?"

"oh, nothing. I need some advice." I laugh.

"I'm up for it. anything, shoot."

"you won't believe the whole story, it's like, crazy. I'll tell you later."

"seriously? I have so much time right now, and if you don't tell me I will probably cry."

"fine." I sigh.

"so I ran into Sebastian."

"*gasp*"

"yeah and so dad invited his family to come over for dinner and they came but he was all creepy and wanted me to be with him but I didn't want to and then stuff happened and I went to the park to meet Luke and then we kissed and he told me he liked me and god I like him too but then his brother kissed me get this on the same day and everything got screwed up but then I fixed it with Luke and we kissed and now he's treating me like his girlfriend but I don't know what!? I'm so confused." I say, rubbing my forehead.

"oh, Jess."

"yeah."

"well. I think you need to talk to him. and that is all. Cece is out."

"WAIT, Cece? what if he rejects me? I really really really like him. like a lot."

"you're gonna have to risk it honey." and with that she hangs up and I am left with a phone and a scary decision.
