"What do you want Madison"

"Oh wow someone's had a bad morning"

"Leave me alone", I murmured as I made my way around her and headed to class, I'm seriously not dealing with anyone's bullshit today.

After a dreadful morning, break finally came, I walked towards the main hall finding Jake leaning against a wall, waiting for me, as soon as he saw me, he ran over to me,

"Bianca, sweetie" Jake pulled my body towards his embracing me into a hug, I wrapped my arms around his waist, digging my head into his neck, I breath in his scent, the smell of cologne and a mixture of Jakes own scent filled my nose, Jake squeezed my body in a way showing he cared for me, after a moment of hugging we pulled away,

"You okay?"

"I'm better now", he grabbed my hand and led me to the cafeteria, " come on you can explain to me what happened".

We sat down and I began explaining to him what happened after his mom and him left, I started on how she began to apologize soon and saying how she cared about me because I was 'her daughter'. I told him how I ended up screaming and left to take a walk to clear my mind and how I ended up at the park with Tom.

"Do you want my opinion on this?", I nodded as I took a sip of my water, " In all honesty as much as she hurt you, give her a chance to at least explain herself. Whether her explanations sound right or wrong, just listen to her. Its maybe the best we can do, is just listen and then after you can be the judge of whatever she says".

I took a deep breath as I processed what he just said, what do I have to lose if I let her talk right? After all I'm the one making the decision of forgiving her in the end, this is so complicated, "okay..I'll call her to talk this weekend". He smiled at me as we continued to eat our lunch.

After school we were walking towards my dads car when Tom and his group stopped us,

" hello Bianca, Jake" they all said in union which sounded kinda creepy but whatever, I waved at them as Jake gave them a nod,

"I'll see you later, maybe?" Tom asked me as walked by me, I nodded my head and gave him a smile.

Haz pass by Jake giving him a smirk, I furrowed my eyes in confusion, he passed by me and gave me a smile.

"What's going on with you and Haz?"

I saw a blush creep up to his cheeks, I gasped loudly, "oh my you and Haz! No way!", he clasped a hand over my mouth,

" shhh, people are going to hear you", he removed his hand, I couldn't stop smiling, "you have so much explaining to do"

He rolled his eyes as we walked to my dads car, "I know and I'll explain everything".

As soon as we got home Jake and I ran upstairs to my room, we threw our shoes off, sitting criss cross on my bed, " explain everything "

"Well since the day Tom introduce us to his friends, I don't know, we kinda just had a connection of some sort"

I threw him a pillow, "I knew it! They way you guys looked at each other, oh my god, I definitely ship this",

He threw my the pillow back, " I don't know Bianca, we're just friends", I rolled my eyes, "yeah friends who eye fuck each other". He chuckled as he laid his head on my lap, on instinct I began to play with his hair, " so what about you and Tom?",

"What about us?"

"Oh come on, didn't you say he was with you when you went for a walk"

"Yeah, but its just what friends do"

He chuckled softly as he closed his eyes, "whatever floats your boat babe".

After Jake left I decided to call Hailey, I waited a few moments before she picked up the phone, " hello?" , I took a deep breath before responding, "hey Hailey it's Bianca", I heard her take a deep breath as if she was trying to hold back tears, " I..um..what can I help you with?", I played with them hem of my shirt, "This weekend, come over and we'll talk calmly", I heard her cry, I felt tears form at the corner of my eyes, " yes of course, thank you", I wiped my tears, "bye Hailey".

I stayed laying down after the phone call, thinking if giving her a chance is really worth it, i began singing softly to relax myself and clear my thoughts,

"I don't want to be like Cinderella

Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar

Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free

I don't want to be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

Oh I will survive

Unless somebody's on my side".

I kept singing until I drifted off to sleep.

Jake's POV

I sat anxiously on my couch, my leg kept bouncing up and down, I kept glancing down at my phone, waiting for a notification. There was a knock at my door, I stood up and wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans before opening the door,

" hey Jake", he said with a smirk,

"hey Haz".
