The next day I was sitting alone in Leia's basement, everyone left doing whatever they are doing and I'm here sitting on the couch alone. Honestly, I love being alone even if there is nothing to do, I like the quiet.
I looked up when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs to see Jay, he slowly goes down when he sees that I'm alone.
"Oh, uh sorry I thought Leia was here." He says, sitting himself on the couch next to me and placing the picnic basket on the floor. Oh, I forgot he is going on a picnic with Leia today.
"She said she will be back in a few minutes," I replied looking anywhere but at him. I honestly miss being in the same room alone with Jay Honestly I thought this summer we would be hanging out more but we barely even do that, I mean we don't even have movie night anymore.
Jay breaks the silence "Look, Violet. I miss you, I'm sorry about how I acted in this whole situation, I should've been nicer about it. I really miss us and our friendship."
I didn't know what to say, even if Jay doesn't like me back I would still love to be friends with him.
I nod and turned my head to look at him to see that he was already staring at me. His glaze softened when I was finally looking at him.
"It's okay, don't worry about it. It was a silly crush anyways." I said. It wasn't just a silly crush, I've always liked Jay I just pushed my feelings away. "So, friends?" Jay says nudging his shoulder to mine.
"Yeah, friends." I hesitated a bit knowing I just got friend zoned AGAIN. It was comfortable silence in the room, I leaned back on the couch resting my hands on my stomach, and I turned my head over to look at Jay, he has been staring at me this whole time not only that he has been staring at my eyes he is also looking at my lips.
It seems like he wanted to say something but couldn't get it out. "Violet, I-" Jay gets interrupted when Leia comes running down the stairs.
"Hey, Jay! Didn't think you would be here this early."

When Leia and Jay left I just went home since there was nothing else to do. As I was walking him I see Cameron's car parked in my driveway with him leaning against his car, I walked up to him.
"Hey, Violet! I tried to call you but no one answered and I came here knocking at your door but no one was answering so I just waited for you." Cameron says. Not really surprised my mom is barely home since she is always working day and night.
"So, I was wondering about the second date." He asked, I start playing with my fingers nervously wondering if I should tell him or not I don't want to lead him on.
"Cameron, I can't." I mumble, looking anywhere but him.
"It's okay if you can't go today we can always go another day."
"No, I mean I don't know if I wanna go on any date right now." I stammered scared of how he is going to react, he didn't say anything so I went on. "Look you're a great guy, Cameron I just don't think I'm ready for this kinda stuff yet."
