Hailey:
I don't know exactly what has caused us to get this way—although it has now become the norm for almost every day I would come to jakes house or he would come over to mine. In the beginning the excuse to my parents was important song writing and in my defence, in the beginning it was that!

But over time, it went from getting bored and chatting or watching movies to simply hanging out with no goals or things to do.

I am extremely aware that this is not what you should do when you are trying to get over a one sided crush. But I think it's justifiable by the fact that he is simply my best friend and there is no other option than to suck it up.

I guess this is why it's to no one's surprise that I find myself with Jake in my room, laying on my bed watching the tv. We were watching a random show on my tv and the lights were off, normally this wouldn't be out of the ordinary but something was different today.

It was a Friday night and my sister was at a friends house for a sleep over, Zander was staying the night at Luke's, both my parents were on a date and wouldn't get home until late, and it had gotten dark until the point it made no sense for Jake to go home.

Of course Jake could of left anytime he wanted—after all it was only 10. But we had gotten so wrapped up into the show and got lost in the time. Before we realised it was dark—we only had one episode left so it made no sense for him to leave now.

Soon the end credits scrolled past and I saw there, leaning ever so slightly on Jake and was ready to fall asleep.

"Man that was sad." Jake choked out. He honestly sounded like he was about to cry. "Jake- that's what you call sad? Wow and I'm called dramatic." I scoffed. "Yeah well I don't really watch romance shows or movies—I prefer horror or action!" He smirked.

"Of course you do." I chuckled. It was silent for a moment. I stared forwards at the credits in the tv screen while I felt jakes heavy Stare on me.

"Not to get all personal and stuff. But I mean. Do you ever think about falling in love?" Jake asks. The question caught me off guard and I have to think for a moment to ensure I don't accidentally leak anything.

"Yeah. Whe- uh. I guess sometimes? I donno." I say, catching myself. "How about you?" I ask. He stays quiet, pondering to himself before answering "yeah, I guess it's a confusing topic. But it's really beautiful you know? Like the way it's displayed in movies or online makes it seem magical." He trails off.

"I hope I get to experience honest love one day. It is depicted as quite nice." I smile. Jake watches me carefully, not saying anything and I feel my face grow hot.

At this point, we are both sitting up while slightly leaning against my pillows against my bed frame. Every second I feel my face going more red.

Jakes quiet laugh breaks the silence. "You're special Hailey. And I don't mean that in the mean way—I mean it as in..you mean a lot."

I feel my breath hitch in my throat and I don't have time to process anything because I watch as jakes face leans in closer.

"Jake what-" although I don't get to finish my question because I feel his soft lips touch mine.
