"Take a risk"

That's what she did, right? Take a gigantic risk? She knows what happened to Alli her first time, so why didn't she expect the same? Clare Edwards was officially in a state of confusion.

She expected it to go like it was in the movies, all glorified as if it were the best thing since sliced bread.

"It was magical! It was like nothing I've experienced before!"

"Oh my God, it was the time of my life!"

If losing your virginity was supposed to be "magical" and "the time of your life" then why wasn't it for her? Clare turned over to her left to view a shirtless Jake Martin, snoring in her bed. She sighed and turned back over.

Maybe she got in over her head. Or maybe she waited for the wrong-no. She wasn't going there. Eli Goldsworthy was the least of her worries right now. Besides, he didn't care about her. It was all about that new girl, Imogen, or whatever her name is. They have probably screwed in every sense of the world by now. If they could be happy, then why couldn't she buck up and do the same?

Maybe it's just how first times work. Maybe they are supposed to feel awkward and weird. Or maybe she just should've followed along with her beliefs and waited until marriage. Clare honestly didn't know anymore. She's known Jake for years, so it's like the movies right? The protagonist and their best friend of the opposite gender fall in love, get married, and then live happily ever after?

Special. Amazing. The best feeling you could possibly have. That's how it's supposed to be right?

Wrong.

A.N.

Okay so first story! It's based off of a few predictions I've seen for the upcoming season. So what did you think? Good? Love it? Needs work? Hate it with a burning passion? Should I throw my laptop away? Okay so I probably wouldn't do that, but you get the point. Also it's like 1 A.M. where I'm from so yeah. Leave a review and tell me what you think! :D
