"Yeah. It's like my mum and I. She left and my dad took her back when I turned 15. Three years later I still can't look her in the eyes, or talk to have a full conversation. She's not mum to me she's just Karen."

"That's kinda how it is. I called him Roman for three months."

I looked at my phone and it's been an hour.

"I should go. My parents may come looking for me."

He nodded.

"Are you going to tell them about us?"

"Yeah, but I don't know how they'll feel about it."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I just broke up with Colby yesterday and now I just go up to them hey I forgot to tell you I have a new boyfriend. His name is Ben and he works at the gym. Hope that doesn't make me look like a whore."

"Jesse Glynn. They need to know about us."

"Fine."

"I want to take you on a date tomorrow night."

"You do?"

"Yes. I want to take you out."

"Okay."

I sat up and he was smiling.

"Where you going to take me?"

"I was thinking dinner and maybe we go around London?"

I nodded.

"I would like that. "

I said smiling. He smiled and kissed me. He pulled away.

"You should go."

"Yeah."

I stood up and started walking back. I walked through the back door closing it.

"Have a fun run?"

I jumped turning around seeing mum and dad.

"Don't do that to me."

I said holding my hand over my heart.

"You went running for an hour?"

"I went farther out."

I said which wasn't a complete lie.

"Why aren't you sweating then?"

"I stopped and cooled off."

They both looked at me.

"Go shower and then when you come back be ready to tell the truth."

Mum said and I walked upstairs. I went to my room and closed the door finding some clothes to wear. I went and showered putting on a tshirt, sweat pants, and some elite socks. I brushed my wet hair leaving it down. I put my phone in my pocket and went downstairs to the kitchen. Mum and dad were standing there. I sat at the counter on a stool. I looked down fiddling with my hands.

Roman's pov
"She's never lied to me before."

Melanie said.

"Jacey yes, but Jesse no."

"Who knows what she has to say."

I said. Jesse came back sitting at the counter looking down messing with her fingers. I realize she does that when she's nervous about something.

"Jesse where did you go?"

"Running."

"Where did you go running?"
