Lost

- Gem -

Jake rubbed his hands together "Okay, I'll go first. Alice, truth or dare?"

"Um, truth?"

"What is the most daring thing you have ever done?" Jake smirked

"Well um, me and my friend ran through our estate 2 o clock in the morning...naked" she blushed

"Wait, like, completely naked?" asked Jake.

"Yes Jake, something like that" she sighed

"But how-" Jake started.

"Okay" Alice clapped her hand, silencing Jake "Dylan, truth or dare?"

"Dare?"

"I dare you to say 2 words that describe me and Jake"

"Okay." I looked at Jake "Funny and Annoying."

Jake grinned. "That's what friends are for"

Then I looked at Alice. "Lively and-"

"Hot" Jake coughed. Alice didn't catch it, but I certainly did.

"Lively and awesome"

Alice smiled back at me. That 1 million dollar smile...

"Okay umm" I sighed "Jake , truth or Dare"

"Truth"

"How many girls have you actually been in relationship with with?"

"Dylan!" Alice snapped.

"What? I'm curious" I shrugged. Jake was like a sex machine, and Alice knew that as well, but it didn't mean he has been in a relationship with every girl he's been with.

"Well if you really must know, just one"  said Jake. "And she meant the world to me, but she moved away with her Dad after her parent divorce"

"Jacob..." Alice sighed.

"She was so bold and selfless but she was smart. She wasn't like Amy other girl that would flail them selves on me.  She was hard to get which I found very attractive. Since we were neighbors I would watch her walk her dog Theo in the morning and evening."                 

"One day, I was brave enough to go up to her door and ask her out. But she said no. Multiple times actually. I figured asking her out wouldn't cut it so I joined her walk her dog Theo and later we would get McDonald's. When we got home she would help me with my homework and later we'd watch a movie or something. This went on for a couple of weeks till one thing led to another. I'm telling you, she was like the best thing that ever happened to me, until one day she left town and I haven't seen her since, but we left things in good terms" 

Alice went over to give Jake a hug.

"Hey, why did you not ever tell us about her?" I asked.

"She was like a special gem to me. I didn't want our high school getting in the way"

"She sounds amazing Jake. I didn't know you had a sensitive side. Looks good on you" said Alice.

I felt like a douche asking that question. Alice hugging Jake just made me feel worse.

"Sorry Jake" I said

"No, you have nothing to be sorry about. You didn't know. Plus I'm the one who made you unconscious Dylan. I'm the one whose sorry" he smiled.

I smiled. Jake was a good guy.

"Okay, back to the game. Alice, truth or dare?" said Jake.

"Truth"

"Okay. What's the most magical and memorable thing that has ever happened to you?"

"Well, there is this thing, but you guys can't tell anyone, promise?"

We both nodded. Girly gossip time.

"Okay, at the Halloween dance. I met this guy. There is something so special about him because he not like other guys. No offense to the both you two"

"Non taken" I shake my head. James nodded.

"I kissed him. And it was probably the best kiss I have ever gotten from anyone. Like we were in sync. A duo. And I must say he seemed incredibly handsome. And he understood me so well and I'm not that easy to understand according to all my friends. He was different. I wish that night had never ended. Plus I never got his name! Which I totally regret now.

I froze. The girl... on the rooftop...

The girl I thought about non-stop....for weeks...

The girl I fell in love with on the spot....

The girl with the big blue eyes...

It was Alice.

It has been Alice all along...
