CHAPTER FIVE
[ v. LET ME KISS YOU ]
REAL LIFE | INSTAGRAM
ONE DIRECTION WAS heard playing from Jesse Bolt and Sophia Lillis' room. What was also heard was Jesse belting the lyrics out to 'Kiss You.' Occasionally, Sophia would sing along, but she didn't know the lyrics like Jesse did. Sophia was confused on how Jesse was able to sing while curling her lashes. The redhead held in her laughter as Jaeden came in, starting to record as Jesse put down the eyelash curler. She prepared herself for the outro, pulling out her lipgloss from her makeup bag. "Every time we to-uh-uch, you get this kind of ru-u-sh. Baby say yeah, yeah. If you don't wanna take it slow and you just wanna take me home baby say yeah, yeah and let me kiss you."
Jaeden stifled a laugh on how invested she was into the song. He turned his phone off and watched as she started to hum to the rhythm of the next song that was playing. It was 'Eventually' by Tame Impala, but Jaeden didn't know that. The girl applied her lipgloss on, shoving it in her tiny backpack –that she was bringing to sneak snacks into the movies– for reapplication once it wore off from the food and maybe even crying, depending on how the movie was.
Jesse got ready to leave. She slipped her white Vans on and took the candy that was scattered on her bed and put it in her backpack. She scrunched up her hair, giving it some volume and that 'messy but not messy' look. She looked towards the door to see Jaeden staring at her. Blush flooded her cheeks and she looked down as she walked out of the room. Finn's yell was heard by the group of friends. "Losers! The Uber's here, let's go."
They all came out of their rooms and huddled into the Uber. Jesse silently cursed Finn for not ordering a bigger one, because it was really tight. She was squished in the middle, Jack next to her, and Jaeden on the other side. He watched as she began to play games on her phone, laughing as her Mickey Mouse character got hit by a car in Crossy Road.

The boys had not told Jesse that the movie they were watching was a horror movie. Jesse hated horror movies. The whole time, she had been clasping onto Jaeden's hand. They were watching some Anabelle movie. Jesse needed to get out of the theater, so she lied and said she needed to go buy more snacks, which was a lie because she didn't want to eat junk, she would want real food. She barely touched the food she brought. Jaeden knew she was lying so he decided to go with her, not wanting her to be lonely. The two walked through their friends and down the steps towards the exit of the theater. His hand was still being tightly held by Jesse's, but it didn't matter to him. It's not like he minded a pretty girl holding his hand.
Once they were out of the theater, Jesse crossed her arms against her chest, and Jaeden's hand felt cold without the comfort of hers. She whined to the boy. "I can't believe you took us to watch the doll movie! I hate demon dolls!" She exclaimed quietly.
Jaeden grinned at the freaked out girl. "It's fine, Jess. It's just a movie. No demon doll is gonna come for you."
"Just a movie?" Jesse scoffed. "In the beginning, they said it was based off true events! True events!" She repeated, trying to put more emphasis on it.
"Don't worry, babe. I'll protect you from the demon doll." Jaeden laughed as blush came upon her face. She didn't know why she was blushing; her and her friends always called each other babe, she was used to it. It was just different with Jaeden. Their friendship wasn't like hers with Sophia. She didn't know how, it was just different.
"Hey, the movie isn't gonna end for another 40 minutes, we can ditch and go get some food, if you'd like?" Jaeden offered, causing a smile to form on her face. He would be ditching a movie for her.
Jesse put out her hand for Jaeden to grab, and he did. They walked hand in hand out of the movie theater. Jaeden looked at her in awe as they stepped out into the cool streets, looking from left to right to find somewhere to eat. She spotted a cafe and grinned. "Come on, let's go."
Jaeden laughed as she excitedly ran towards the cafe, him being dragged with her. She happily entered the cafe with Jaeden, still holding his hand. They walked up to the server, and Jesse spoke. "Hi, can we have a table for two?"
The nice lady smiled at the two teens. "Of course, sweetie. Would you like one outside or inside?"
"Outside, please." Jesse told the server. The server led them outside to their table, and gave them two menus.
"Someone will be right with you guys!" She exclaimed happily.
"Thank you!" Jesse told the server as she walked away. She then turned to face Jaeden, a soft smile on her face. "By the way, thanks Jae. I really didn't want to stay there. You're really sweet."
The same soft smile that Jesse had on her face was now worn by Jaeden as well. "It was no problem, Jess. I wanted to get out of there too. The movie wasn't to good anyways."
"Do you think we should text them that we're gone?" Jesse asked while a giggle, remembering that they had forgotten about telling their friends that they were leaving.
"They'll be fine." Jaeden reassured. The waiter came by and they both ordered their food. The place wasn't busy at all, so their food came quite quick.
"Can you take a picture of me for Instagram?" She asked, handing the boy her phone as he nodded.
