Chapter 2 – Chemistry

So… thank you so much for reviewing, favouriting and following the story and me. Here you go! Enjoy!

Oh god. „Ähm… why?" Great Jade! Super cool and clever response.

"I gotta talk to you." Upon hearing this I got a little nervous… "Ok…" "Great! See you in a few" Beck said, sounding happy and hung up.

I instantly shot up from my seat and ran around, picking up all the clothes and other things that lay all across my room. I pushed them into my closet and went to make my bed.

After a few minutes everything looked acceptable. I quickly took a look at myself in the mirror. Black jeans and deep red shirt… good! My eyes travelled up further and… my hair! Shit! It's not like Beck hasn't seen me with messy hair… (*wink*) but he was coming over for the first time in 6 months and…

Rrrinngg

Speaking of the devil… I hastily braided my hair to the side and went to open the door.

Beck stood there - hands in his pockets.

"Hey" he breathed. "Hi" I replied slowly and let him inside.

For a moment we just stood there in my hallway. This was a really, really awkward situation and we both didn't know what to say.

I had to remind myself that he wasn't a guy I had just randomly met… this was Beck, my boyfriend of three and a half years. Well ex-boyfriend but still… He used to be the one I trusted the most.

"Let's just go upstairs to my room." I broke the silence. He nodded and followed me but stayed at the door frame to my room slowly taking in the image of my room as if to say hello again after 6 months of being away.

Up here it was even more awkward because when he sat on my bed we both couldn't help but think of all the memories we shared. My bed… the photo frame Beck gave to me on our first anniversary…

But when Beck saw that it no longer held the photo of us his face got a different impression… almost sad. But he quickly regained his composure.

"So Jade… I'm sorry for kissing you in school. But you know… this situation was just overwhelming because it reminded me of the first time we met" I chuckled a bit "and I got a little too caught up in this moment" he quickly apologized.

I could feel my heart sink a bit. If he just apologized like this it didn't mean much to him. He was sorry he kissed me… like I was some disgusting animal…

But he didn't even give me chance to answer.

"I said I am sorry because I have no right to kiss you when you are not my girlfriend anymore. And I could say I didn't mean to break up with you but 6 months ago I really meant it. I love you but we couldn't show it anymore because we constantly screamed at each other. I didn't know what happened to us but it was terrible. And then after a few weeks I started missing you like I never thought you can ever miss someone else. Not the fighting… I missed you… Jade! And then I realized I love you no matter what so I just took the opportunity yesterday to show you."

Wow… that was honest. I was expecting something along the lines like: I didn't mean to break up… You just misunderstood me… You walked out on me not the other way round…

But Beck didn't lie and I was glad he didn't.

Because if there could ever be more than just friendship between us again we surely couldn't build it up on lies.

"Beck I… I hate you for breaking up with me but I hate me just as much for starting all the fights. And I miss you too… I didn't think it could be that hard to live without you."

I blushed a little. Beck chuckled but opened his arms and motioned for me to come to him. I obliged and got in his arms hugging him deeply.

He slung his arms around me and I could feel tears of relief rolling over my face. This wasn't this kind of hug to say goodbye and just be friends, because the second we touched each other I could feel a sensation building up in my stomach going upwards to my heart.

And Beck did feel the same because when I looked up to him he wiped the tears away from my face and slowly leaned down…

Wow! I seriously finished a story within two days! Please let me know if you liked this story!

See you soon,
