Hey Y'all! This is the sequel to Just Friends. I hope this turns out as good as the last one and I really hope y'all like it! Sorry the first chapters short but it'll pick up soon!


"Here it is…my last box!" I squealed as I dropped the box onto the floor of my new bedroom. It was a total mess, especially since a lot of my boxes had broken causing most of my stuff to get scattered all across the floor.

"I'm so excited you decided to move in with me, Jess," my best friend Kristie said. "I know; I can't believe I finally got the strength to leave Bama." Alabama had been home my entire life; I had never known anything different except for when a couple months ago when I came out to California to visit Kris.

"Well maybe it was a certain guy who gave you the strength to move out here? Huh??" my best friend questioned me. I had no idea what she was talking about. She knew I wasn't the relationship kinda girl…and she knew why too.

"What are you talking about?" I asked as I flopped down, belly first on to my new bed. "Oh…I dunno…maybe my boyfriend's brother…" she winked at me. I laughed. "Which one?" I joked, although I knew which one she was referring to.

She rolled her eyes while wearing a smile on her face. "Gee…I dunno, maybe the one you were around constantly last time you were here."

"He's nice, but I don't think I could see myself being with him," I told her truthfully, not fully wanting to go into this right now. "Why not?" she asked, almost offended. "Kris, I'm really tired, and I don't really want to talk about this right now. You know my reasons why I don't like relationships," I told her, hoping she would get the hint.

"But Shane's different," she said quietly; not giving up on defending one of her new found best friends…

"Just because your boy is different, doesn't mean his brother is," I said firmly without looking at her. I heard Kristie let out a deep sigh.

"Ok, well I'll just let you have some time to rest. If you need me I'll either be downstairs or in my room. But if I decide to go out I'll tell you or leave you a note or something," Kris said softly before walking to the door to my room.

"I'm really glad you're here, Jess," she whispered as she walked out of my room.

I groaned loudly. It was my first day here, and Kris was already trying to set me up with someone.

Don't get me wrong, I like to date, but I know what these Gray guys want…they want relationships…like serious ones, and I'm just not sure if I'm ready for that.

Heck, I don't even know if this boy really likes me or not…
