~Jessalyn's POV

I don't know why I didn't kiss Conner. I guess I was just scared. I've never had a boyfriend before. This is kind of how it went...

Conner just came into the coffee shop. We had silence for a few minutes. When I finally broke it he just had to make a joke about it. When we finally started talking again I got butterflies in my stomach. He started to lean in. At first I did the same but I jumped away.

"What's wrong?" Conner asked, concerned.

"I'm sorry." With that I ran out of Starbucks and back home in the safety of my room.

Back to the present tense. Now I was regretting it. I hugged my pillow to my chest in my dark bedroom. I heard the front door open. Daniel was home. Great. He wasn't the kind to just let a subject drop. He hovered.

Daniel entered my bedroom and flipped the switch on. "What's wrong, Jess?" he questioned.

"Nothing," I said a little too quickly.

"What's wrong?" he asked again.

"Just leave me alone, Daniel. Stay out of it," I snapped. I didn't mean to say it that rudely. "I'm sorry," I whispered. He nodded and walked out of the room. I think I fell asleep after that.

I woke up to an annoying tapping on my window. I looked over at my window. I couldn't really see what was there because I wasn't fully awake yet.

I saw a figure with curly hair (I'm guessing it was hair) and a slim, but built, body. Another reason I couldn't tell what it was was because it was night outside. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and opened the window.

"Conner?" I gasped.

"Travis, actually." Travis, Conner mentioned him before. I think he was his brother. "I'm his brother. People get us mixed up but I just don't see it. I'm way more handsome than he is." I rolled my eyes at that comment.

"Same personality though," I pointed out.

"So you admit I'm better looking than he is!" Travis exclaimed. I cursed under my breath. God, they were both annoying.

"Never said that. Besides, you both look exactly the same. Now why are you here and how did you find my house?" I demanded.

"I'm here because my brother is annoying the heck out of me. That's because of you." He poked me in the chest. "And how I found your house is my secret." He gave me and evil smile. He looked and acted so much like his brother.

"How is it because of me?"

"Uh I don't know. Oh yeah, you guys were about to kiss and you rejected him. Yes, totally not your fault," he said sarcastically. Yep, exactly like his brother.

"It's none of your business why I didn't kiss him," I snapped.

"I didn't ask you why. The only reason I came here was to tell you that he's... He's acting unusual. More than usual. All I'm asking is for you to give him a chance."

I wanted to. I wanted to with all my heart. "I want to, Travis, I was just scared. Can I like come to your guys' place tomorrow?"

"No," he said a little too quickly. "I'll get him to come here tomorrow." With that said he ran off into the darkness. I crossed my arms, annoyed. It took me a while to fall asleep.

The next morning I quickly took a shower and brushed my teeth. I changed into my skinny jeans with rips over the knees, my new Vans that Daniel got me, a black T-shirt that had fake, white suspenders painted on it, and my purple hoodie from Old Navy. I brushed my hair and pulled it back in a messy bun. Not the kind with all the boby pins though.

I walked to the kitchen and sat at the counter. I took my phone off its charger and saw I had four unread text messages. When I saw who they were from I deleted them. One of them was an unknown number. I read the text message: We need to talk was all it said. I quickly deleted that one.

I looked at the clock. Wow, it was already 11:30. I slept in late. I heard a knock at the door. I ran and answered the door. When I saw who it was it took all my effort not to burst out laughing.

Travis had his brother's arms behind his back like cops do to the criminals. Conner was struggling to get out of his grasp. Some words that I won't repeat were said and some even in another language. When they both saw that I was standing in the doorway they immediately stopped trying to kill each other. Oh, brotherly love.

Travis released his brother's arms. Conner tried to bolt, but Traivs grabbed his wrist. Conner looked at his feet, not making eye contact. I was a little hurt. But I knew I deserved it.

"Hi," I managed weakly.

"Hi," Conner mumbled.

"This is good! You're saying syllables to each other." Travis rolled his eyes. He whispered something in Conner's ear then ran off. I was surprised when Conner didn't try to run away too.

I stepped onto the porch, closing the door behind me. What I did next surprised both him and me. I hugged him. At first he stiffened then wrapped his arms around my waist. We stayed like that for a few minuted, his arms around my waist, my arms around his neck. I was pulled against his chest. I didn't mind. I had my cheek on his shoulder.

When we finally pulled away he kept his hands around my waist and mine around his neck. I wouldn't let a moment like this pass again.

I kissed him. Not a small kiss. I knotted my right hand in his curly, brown hair while my other stayed on the back of his neck. His arms stayed around my waist the whole time. Let me tell you, it was the best thing I'd ever done. The lack of oxygen made me pull away.

We were both breathing heavy. A comfortable silence filled the air. I just stared into his inviting brown eyes. His right hand traveled up my back and undid my bun.

"Much better," Conner said, then messed it up a bit. I laughed.

"I'm sorry about yester-" He cut me off by kissing me. I smiled. A very effective way to shut me up.

"I have to get back to ca- home." I wonder what he was about to say.

"When will I see you again?" I asked. I didn't want to have another few weeks without him. He kissed my forehead.

"Soon, I promise." I saw him slightly laugh to himself. He released my waist and ran off. I sighed.

People kept promisong things to me that they couldn't keep. I sat on the porch and pulled my knees to my chest. Hopefully this time would be different.

I know short, sorry. I won't be able to update as often because school starts tomorrow. CURSE SCHOOL! Wish me luck or don't, it doesn't really matter.
