Disclaimer: I do not own anything on Jane By Design (If Only)

Hi Everyone! Let me first say thank you so much for the reviews and followings for "Ready Or Not Here I Come". I love feedback and I love you all for it! So I wrote this because I was so inspired by all of your love! This is a wishful scenario for next week's episode. I couldn't help myself once I saw the promo. It was such a tease! So here's to Jilly and their future relationship! (I have hope lol)

Enjoy!

Too Close For Comfort

"Billy, did you hear me," Zoey said trying to get Billy's attention as he zoned out, staring off into the distance.

"Billy," she said one more time and he snapped out of it.

"Yeah, what, huh," he answered looking at her hazily.

"I said did you want to go see that new Spiderman movie Friday. I heard it was good," she repeated but, he still looked partially confused.

"Yeah...sure. That sounds cool," he finally said giving a small smile.

"Are you ok? You've been out of it all day. Is this about meeting my dads because they loved you," she said worriedly and he sighed internally.

He hadn't been thinking about her dads.

He hadn't even been thinking about Zoe.

His mind was on Jane and no matter what he did he couldn't get her out.

All he could do is play the scene of her dropping him off at Zoe's house over in his head.

It felt so...official, like something had changed.

And as he stared into her soft brown eyes in the back of her mother's car all he wanted to do was stay there.

She was his safe haven but, that was changing.

She was pulling away and he didn't know how to stop it.

So he just let everything play out and here he was sitting with his new girlfriend thinking of his best friend.

But he couldn't tell Zoe that.

"I'm fine. I just haven't been feeling very well," he said unevenly, hiding his guilt for lying to her.

"Why didn't you say anything? You want to go to the nurse or something?" she asked, concern seeping from her, making him feel worse.

"No, I'm ok, really," Billy said trying to fend her off.

Billy's eyes shot up at the sight of Jane walking by, her face thoughtful.

"Jane!" Billy called out loudly and Jane turned.

She didn't look as if she wanted to come over but, she did anyway.

"Hey," she said awkwardly.

"You want to join us?" he asked almost pleadingly.

Zoe shifted uncomfortably.

"Uh no, I think I'll pass. I should go," she said trying to back away.

"Yeah...join us Jane," Zoe said unsure of what she was doing.

She knew Jane didn't like her very much but, she also knew that she was Billy's best friend.

"Umm ok," Jane said quietly sitting down across from them.

"Hey Billy, come here for a minute," a guy two lunch tables down called out.

Billy rose.

"Be right back," he said unsure whether or not he should leave them alone.

He could feel Jane's narrowed eyes on him.

The silence at the table was deadly.

"So, Zoe I hear you have two dads. That's cool," Jane said trying to grin and bear it for Billy.

"Yeah I do. Thanks," Zoe responded smiling back.

The silence returned.

"Uhh I hear you have an internship. How's that?" Zoe said not knowing what else to say.

"Yeah, it's great. Lots of clothes...and shoes," Jane said only realizing how lame her statement was after she said it.

"Oh...cool," Zoe replied back awkwardly.

"What'd I miss," Billy said sitting back down smiling.

"I should go. I have a lot of work to do," Jane said rising quickly and muttering good byes before walking off quickly.

"She hates me," Zoe said as Jane basically ran away.

Billy shook his head.

"No she doesn't. Jane doesn't hate anyone," he said and she gave him a look.

"Fine, maybe she doesn't hate me but, she definitely doesn't like me. Did I do something wrong?" she asked.

"No, Jane is just...she's...complicated. She has a lot on her plate and you shouldn't take that personally," Billy said trying to make a case.

"We've all got a lot on our plates Billy," Zoe shot back starting to get annoyed.

"Yeah but-"

"But what Billy? Does she have some secret life I don't know about," she said sarcastically rolling her eyes.

"Look Zoe just trust me. Jane is just...Jane. You'll get to know her," Billy said and Zoe looked at him dumbfounded.

"What does that even mean. I guess I shouldn't be surprised," Zoe muttered.

Billy eyebrow rose.

"What do you mean," he said confused.

"I mean, Lulu warned me right? Maybe you're not in love with her but, I have a feeling you wouldn't be taking my side over hers anytime soon," she said and sighed.

"Zoe, Jane is my best friend."

"And I'm your girlfriend and if we're being completely honest Jane doesn't make me all that comfortable. I'm not asking you to choose me over her. That wouldn't be fair. But, I am asking you to take a step back. How would you like it if I was as close to another guy as you are to Jane?" she said and then stood and walked leaving him sitting there with no clue what to do.
