Zach:
We arrived at the house. Jack was already getting ready to see Chloe and he would be going to prom with her in a few weeks. Peyton and I had planned to go to prom together, but I'm starting to think we're not going.
We put all of our stuff away. I put my stuff in my room.
"Where are you going?" Jonah asked.
"Peyton should be here in a little bit," I said. At that moment, Peyton pulled up in front of the house. "I'll see you guys later."
They all nodded and I ran out of the house. Peyton got out of the car and I immediately hugged her. I placed a long kiss on her lips. She looked me in the eyes.
I got into the driver's seat and she got into the passenger's seat.
"I'm so glad that you're back," she said.
"I missed you," I said.
"I missed you too."
I placed my hand on her stomach. She smiled and looked up at me.
"We'll do this together. I promise," I said.
"Okay..."
She smiled and placed her hand on top of mine. We drove off and parked in an empty space in the front of a pond.
"I'm glad you're home..." she said weakly.
"Me too," I said. "So... how many weeks are you?"
"Um... I think three, but I'm not sure."
"I still can't believe it," I said.
"Me neither."
"Who knows?" I asked.
"My sister and Bridget. I'm not ready to tell my parents."
"Well... only the boys. I'm not ready to tell my parents or any of my family members," I said.
"Are you scared?" She asked.
"Yeah, but we'll get through this together. I promise." I kissed her hand. "We'll all get through this together."
I placed my hand on her stomach again. She smiled.
"When are you planning to tell the fans and stuff?"
"Maybe when your baby bump gets noticeable. But for right now, I don't want anyone knowing. Especially not my manager," I said.
"I don't know what to do..."
"I don't either. This is all moving so fast. It's kind of hard to understand right now."
"Same."
...
We walked around for a little while before coming back to the car.
"I haven't gone to school for 2 weeks," she said as we sat in the car. Her legs were stretched across the car so that her feet were on my lap.
"Why not?" I asked tying her shoelaces.
"Well, I don't want anyone to notice. Also, I feel like everyone at school will treat me differently if they find out."
"Well, that's how life is. People are gonna talk, but it shouldn't stop you," I said.
"I wanna drop out." I looked up at her. She was staring at her fingers. "I can't take care of myself and this baby and manage to do all of my school work."
"No, love. You're not going to drop out. I'll help you, but you have to keep going to school. This isn't just your baby, it's ours." I kissed her forehead.
"I love you," she said softly.
"I love you and this baby a lot more." She smiled. I leaned over and kissed her stomach.
Deja:
"No, Jayden! Stop!" I yelled as Jayden spun me around the room. He threw me onto my bed and I dizzily lied there while Hashbrown licked my face.
Jayden laughed and flopped onto the bed next to me. I looked at him and he stared into my eyes. I smiled and ran my hand through his hair. He smiled and placed a kiss on my lips.
"Deja?"
"Yes, Jayden?"
"I love you."
"I love you too," I said back.
"Do you know how beautiful you are?"
"Stop." I rolled my eyes and got off the bed. I walked over to the Fairy lights that were hanging off the wall a bit because Jayden accidentally bumped into them.
"You're so beautiful," he said. I smiled and tried to straighten the lights again, but I couldn't reach the top.
I heard the bed shift and Jayden came up to me and helped me fix what I couldn't reach. I smiled.
"Thank you," I said. He nodded.
I walked in the other direction and picked up some of the polaroids that were knocked off the wall. I picked them up and stuck them back on the wall when I felt a pair of hands on my waist. Jayden hugged me from behind. I smiled as he placed his head on my shoulder and we both admired the pictures.
"We've been dating for half a year," he said looking at the pictures.
"I know," I said laughing a bit.
"That's crazy. You know you're my longest relationship?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, because you're my second girlfriend and my first relationship only lasted 1 month."
"Well, you're like my first relationship ever and I love that. I wish I had more experience with relationships, but oh whale." He laughed a little.
"I wish I had more experience with relationships too."
"I can't believe you graduate in a few weeks," I said.
"Don't remind me..."
"Why not?"
"I'm scared."
"Of what?"
"I don't know if I'm ready to live on my own and take care of myself. And school. Making new friends in college and meeting the team... Getting married." I smiled at his last comment.
"I believe in you and I know you're ready for whatever the world throws at you."
He smiled and kissed my forehead.
...
I held Jayden's hand as we walked around the streets next to busy stores and cute little restaurants where couples sat outside on little tables under umbrellas.
"Okay, I'm looking at 2 apartments right now. One is right next to campus and one 15 minutes away from here and 20 minutes away from campus. That way, I can go back and forth."
"I think you should take the one next to campus."
"Why?"
"Because I want you closer to campus so you can focus."
"But I wanna be closer to you," he said.
"Go focus on school and football. Not me. I'll be here. I'm not going anywhere."
"You can't guarantee that..."
"What?" I asked.
"You know what I mean..."
"Do you think we're going to break up?"
"No. You're just always doing crazy things that cause you to get hurt."
"Name one time I did something crazy while we were together," I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Well, you did sit on a roof and fell off causing you to cut your palms. And you also go to the park to play basketball and call out guys," he said. I pouted.
"Well, maybe I like to live my life and take risks. It was a total risk when I decided to date you. I had no idea what type of boyfriend you were. But I took the risk and that risk is now the best blessing I've ever gotten." I kissed his cheek.
"That was very cute, but I want you to be more careful."
"I will be, I promise." He pulled me in closer and wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we continued to walk.
...
I laughed as Jayden stuck chopsticks in his mouth and made himself a walrus. I grabbed mine and did the same. He laughed so hard his spit the chopsticks out. Everyone was staring at us like we were absolutely crazy. And to be honest, we were absolutely crazy.
The waiter walked over with our orders which consisted of fried rice for me and a whole bunch of sushi for Jayden. I watched in disgust as he ate his dead fish.
"I don't know how you can eat that," I said.
"Sushi? It's good!" He smiled and continued to eat it.
"It's dead, uncooked fish."
"It's also very yummy," he said. I rolled my eyes.
"You always find the bright sides to situations."
"I like looking at the positive. I also like trying new things which is what you should do," he said holding up a Spicy Tuna Roll.
"I'm not going to eat that."
"Just try it," he said. I shook my head. "Your loss."
I just shrugged and continued to eat my fried rice.
"Can you sing me a song?" He asked.
"Right now?" I looked up.
"Yeah."
"I can't just start singing."
"Why not?" He asked.
"Because we're in the middle of a whole bunch of people who probably already think that we're crazy."
"Just do it, seize your moment," he said.
"Are you quoting Coco?" I asked.
"Yup. You love that movie. I love that movie too."
A/N: IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN COCO AND YOU'RE PLANNING TO WATCH IT, DO NOT READ THIS NEXT LINE. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!!!! I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE SPOILERS ARE OVER!!
"You do know that the dude who said that line was a murderer who killed his best friend which caused his wife to hate him for the rest of his life because he never came home, but little did she know that he was dead," I said. "What if you poison me?!"
"I'm not gonna poison you," he said. "Now will you please sing to me."
A/N: okay the spoilers are over...
"Fine."
I opened my mouth to start singing when Jayden stuffed sushi in my mouth.
"Swallow it," he said. I shook my head.
"You're poisoning me!" I yelled covering my mouth to hide the mouth full.
"I'm not poisoning you."
I hesitantly swallowed the dead fish. I gagged.
"You're so overdramatic." I rolled my eyes.
"I almost died," I said. I pretended to faint on my chair.
"Stop..." he laughed and threw a piece of his sushi roll at me. "People are looking at you like you're crazy."
"Haters gonna hate."
"Haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate hate." He sang. I laughed.
"Speaking of haters," I said. I saw Peyton and Zach walk in. The waiter brought them over and sat them at the only empty table for two which was next to us.
Peyton was trying to hide the baby bump she didn't have yet. Her stomach was still flat since she was only 2 weeks.
Jayden grabbed my hand bringing my attention back to him.
"Look," he said grabbing the chopsticks again and turning himself back into a little walrus. I laughed and did the same. He started making walrus noises. I laughed and watched him act like a walrus while trying to eat his sushi with his hands behind his back and using his 'chopstick walrus teeth'. I continued to laugh and Jayden was being super loud causing people to stare.
"Shut up!" A man from another table yelled.
Jayden and I laughed softly.
"Let's get out of here," he said still laughing.
"Yeah," I said wiping the tears I had from laughing so hard.
Zach and Peyton just watched as Jayden and I got up. We walked out.
...
I was balancing myself on the curb. Jayden held my hand so that I didn't fall.
We wandered around the neighborhood until we got to the little playground behind the small elementary school a few blocks away from my house. It was about 10 and my dad still wasn't home.
I sat on the swing as Jayden pushed me.
"If you keep pushing me that hard, I'm gonna fly out of the swing and die," I said. I gripped tightly to the metal chains the higher up I got.
Jayden wrapped his arms around me and the swing to stop it. He came around and stood in front of me.
His hands were on the metal chains above mine and he was staring into my eyes like he could see into my soul.
I smiled as he leaned in to place a kiss on my lips. My lips were about to touch his lips when he ran off.
"Jayden! You can't do that to me!" I yelled.
"Oops!" He ran up the playground. I ran after him.
He went down the slide, so I followed him.
"Jayden?" I looked around. I couldn't see him anywhere. He completely disappeared.
I walked around the playground and called him. I felt a pair of arms grab me. I screamed a bit before hearing Jayden's laugh. I turned and he had his hands on my hips.
"I hate you!" I yelled shoving him.
He just laughed and grabbed my face gently. He placed a kiss on my lips and I couldn't help but pull away and blush. I stared at my feet. He chuckled and hugged me close to his body.
"I remember seeing you on the first day of school at lunch. You saw me too. But I remember getting these uncontrollable butterflies. I thought if I talked to you, a butterfly might come flying out of my mouth. And now, I see you every day of my life, I kiss your lips every day of my life, and I hear your beautiful voice every day and still for some odd reason, I can't get rid of these endless butterflies," he whispered into my ear. I smiled and looked away.
Neverending Butterflies: That little bubbly feeling that you will never be able to get rid of because you just love this certain someone too much to ever stop loving them... <3
