I wake up with a blanket wrapped around me and a pillow behind my head.

Huh. Must have fallen asleep last night. I think, getting up.

But I see something different from yesterday, the door is open. Just a little but I can still open it. I reach my hand forward when I noticed how purple and blue it is. I try wriggling my fingers but it hurts for such a simple task. Texting is going to be interesting. I use my other hand to slowly push the door open.

"Jonah?" I squeak, slowly stepping in.

I walk inside and plop down on his bed, the softness like silk compared to the floor on the balcony. I rest my back on it and sigh contentedly.

"Aaaah!" Someone screams and I jolt up.

As I trace the sound back to its source, I find a shirtless Jonah with wet hair. I find myself slack-jawed for a second.

"Enjoying the view, Thompson?" He asks, slipping a black shirt over his head.

"What? No psshhht. Never." I fumble for words.

"Really? Not even a little?" He jokes, sitting next to me.

"Nope," I say, popping the "p."

"Oh well then," he says.

A wave of silence and awkwardness washes over us.

"Sooo..." I start.

"Yeah," he says.

"I'm sorry for kissing you. I know it was abrupt and I'm sure you think it was a mistake. And I'm really sorry for putting you in such an uncom—" I start rambling but am stopped by a finger pressed to my lips.

"It's fine Amber. You're not a bad kisser anyways," he says, adding a little humor to melt the icy void that has formed between us.

"Just 'not bad'? Boi, do you even know what you're talking about?" I joke, chuckling at the end.

"Yup, and I know what bad is," he says, shuddering.

"Oh so have you kissed yourself?" I joke around.

"Oh shut up! You know you liked it," he says, lightly swatting my arm.

"Guilty as charged," I say, raising my arms above my head.

I rest my head on his shoulder and he tenses up for a moment but relaxes soon after.

"We don't have school today do we?" I ask.

"Let's just skip," he says with a smirk.

"Why Don't We?" I say with a chuckle.
