Song: Selena Gomez - The Heart Wants What It Wants

Although it isn't the real meaning behind the song, it made me think of Jalex and that's why I wrote this story. English is not my first language, so I don't guarantee this story to have perfect grammar. I'll try my best! (Note: This was meant to be a one-shot, but eventually, I decided to continue it.)

I had to remove the song lyrics for copyright reasons. The first part up to the line is about the first verse, the second part about the second verse, the third part about the bridge and the last part about the chorus. You'll get it if you know the song. And if you don't, just enjoy the story.

She had no idea when it started. She only knew that it was how it was. The hugs, the safe feeling she got when she was with him and the fact that she looked a little too long at him when he passed by. She thought it was innocent and normal. It would go away.

But that wasn't the truth. It didn't just go away. Maybe it was not that innocent she thought it was. It was more and she knew that.

Yet, it was sick. Sick, wrong, forbidden, unacceptable. Simply impossible.

She knew it couldn't be. Forbidden. But the feeling came back every time she looked at him. It became like a little devil for her. She tried to think it away every time it came up. Too bad you can't think love away like a little devil.

She began to act strangely when he was near. She looked away when he looked at her and tried to avoid his questions.

It didn't work. It hurt too much. She sometimes expected to collapse on the ground, just because her heart felt so heavy.

But at the same time, he gave her the best feeling in the world.

Now, the secrets were over. He knew. It had never been her plan to tell him. She knew she would lose him forever if she did and that would hurt more than ignoring him. But then there was that evening when they watched the sunset together. She just couldn't take it anymore.

She kissed him on his lips very briefly, but it was enough. It felt so wrong, yet so good. She thought she could see his eyes shine at first. Probably just her imagination, because the next thing she remembered was him screaming at her and walking away.

She followed him up to his room. "I need time to think," he said and closed the door, leaving her standing alone in the hallway with the salty taste of tears in her mouth.

This was exactly the reason she shouldn't have done that.

That was five days ago. Since then, she had hardly talked to him or even seen him. He ate when she had already eaten and at school, he avoided all the places she was.

She tried to talk to him at first, but he didn't let her in his room. She'd had enough of it. Yet, she had no other option than waiting.

She wanted to want to let him go. She wanted to want to think about other things, but it simply wasn't possible.

She had probably lost him forever. One little thing and that's it. That was all it took to ruin her world. She still waited for the moment he would come up to her to tell her everything would be okay. That they could do this. Together.

But this wasn't a fairy-tale. This was a story without a happy ending.

Although it was dark outside, she couldn't sleep. She didn't sleep that much lately.

She wanted to explain everything. She wanted to know what was going on in his mind. He'd gotten enough time to think. She had enough of being alone, even if she knew that there would never be something between them.

She wanted answers and knew exactly where to get those.

A soft knock on the door. No answer. One more, this time louder.

Footsteps. He opened the door and immediately, her heart began to beat faster. "Alex," he said.

"Can I please come in? I just want to talk," she begged him.

He nodded his head quietly and let her in.

"Justin…" she began.

"You knew it was wrong. You knew it wouldn't be accepted by anyone. You knew it would only cause trouble. Then why did you do it?" he interrupted her.

She shrugged her shoulders. Yes, it was easier to let him go. It was easier to just walk away. It was easier to ignore him, but it simply wasn't the way things went. "I'm so sorry. It was just… it just happened. I couldn't help it."

Then, something she'd never expected happened. She felt his soft lips against hers. That feeling again. Too good to be wrong.

"Why did you do that?"

He shrugged his shoulders just like she did before and a smile appeared on his face. "It just happened. I couldn't help it."

That's it. I hope you liked it and if you did, write me a comment! It would absolutely make my day!
