Recap of last chapter:
I decided to have fun with this answer so I leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear, "I'm also trying to impress this totally hot guy that I know, which happens to be my best friends' brother." I bit back my laughter as his face turned red. Some harmless flirting, I could definitely do this.
He moved his face closer to me and whispered in my ear, "Well, you're pretty hot yourself."
I turned my head to slap him, but then realized how close our faces were. I lifted my glasses and placed them on my head. He moved his face closer to mine and I could feel his breath on my lips when…
"Jackson!" a voice shrieked through the mall and I froze. I knew who said that and I didn't have the guts to look at the person in the eye. Instead, I stood up from the awkward position Jackson and I was in and walked away.
Chapter 11
Unexpected Visitor
I made it to Leah's hiding place and she was watching the perfect couple fight. I felt so evil for doing this, but I couldn't help it. I knew Jackson needed help with breaking up with Emily, especially when she started to lay the pet names on him with the whole committed stuff. I just hope my little stunt doesn't leave someone completely hurt in the end.
That is the worst possible way I see someone breaking up with someone, which is finding your boyfriend about to suck face with another girl while you're on a date. I didn't intend to do that, but I guess that's what Leah put together when she saw us getting closer.
"Don't you feel bad?" Leah asked as we continued to watch Jackson and Emily fight.
A crowd started to gather around Emily and Jackson as they continued to fight. Emily's face completely red from yelling at the top of her lungs at Jackson as Jackson tried to calm Emily down.
"Yeah, I never wanted her to see us in this position. I take it that you planned it?" I looked over at my sister as she stood up from her crouching position.
"Sorry, but yeah I wanted it to get over with. I know I shouldn't meddle in people's love life, but I think you two would make a cute couple." She smiled and peered at me.
I started to blush. "Well, I'll never date him. What we did yesterday was just a big mistake which is getting even worse than ever!" I spat and she laughed.
"Over dramatic, much?" she raised her eyebrow at me.
"Sorry, I'm just feeling bad for Emily." I shrugged and looped my arm with my sisters' arm.
I was staring at her when she randomly turned her head staring in the direction opposite of Jackson and Emily.
"You okay Leah?" I asked, but she kept quiet for a while. Her mouth hung open as she continued to stare at the same spot for a while. I looked at her eyes and followed them, looking in the direction she was looking in. my mouth practically dropped open as soon as I saw what she saw.
"Oh crap." I bit my lip and started to feel worried.
In the direction we were looking in, there, stood Oliver staring right back us with the same look Leah has on. His eyes bugging out and his mouth wide open. He saw the whole thing and knew that that was me.
"I think we should leave." Leah suggested.
"Yeah, I think we should too." I nodded and Leah pulled at my arm bringing us away from the scene of Jackson and Emily breaking up.
We got home about half an hour later and as soon as I entered the house, I collapsed on the living room couch.
"I can't believe we did that Leah!" I groaned as I rubbed my face on the cushion.
"Well, I'm sorry! I just wanted to help poor little Jackson out. I never knew it would be that big of a thing though. Everyone was just watching them; I never thought that Emily would be that… scary." She dropped herself beside me and smacked my thigh.
"I never knew she could be that scary either. She's always so peachy and happy with everything. Darn, if I knew that's how she would react, I wouldn't have gone over to Jackson and flirt with him." I sat up on the couch and looked at Leah. "Was it wrong for me to lead Jackson on like that?" I asked her and she giggled.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, today when he came over, I practically acted like he was my boyfriend. We kissed and everything and I made him break up with Emily just because of the thing we did yesterday." I started to frown. I knew this whole thing is my fault even if they say it wasn't. Gosh, why am I being so hard on myself?
"It's going to be alright Lilly you did nothing wrong whatsoever. Now, you probably want to change after what happened today." Leah got off the couch and helped me get up.
"Yeah, I kinda feel awkward still wearing this thing." I dusted my skirt off just before going up the stairs to my room.
As soon as I got there, I ripped off my skirt and shirt, flinging it in the hamper which was beside the door. I pulled Leah's glasses off and placed them on my dresser just before going to my closet to change.
I came out of the closet a few minutes later wearing an oversized shirt and baggy shorts. I put my hair up into a loose pony tail and jumped on my bed to relax a bit. I closed my eyes, ready to fall asleep when I heard the doorbell ring. I heard the door open it and Leah's voice come, but then a loud harsh voice came right after. I tried to block out the voices from the place, but then I heard the person say my name.
"I need to talk to Lilly."
"Yeah, she's in her room." Leah said.
I then hear loud footsteps run up the stairs and the door to my room slam shut. I jumped, opening my eyes and looked at the person that shut my door.
"Jackson?" I rubbed my eyes and grew scared for a bit. He looked completely pissed and I didn't know what to do. Was he going to throw a fit at me for making him and his now ex-girlfriend break up like that? I sat on the edge of my bed and stared at him. He was walking in circles in my room, as if he was trying to blow off some steam.
"I can't believe you did that!" He yelled.
"What exactly did I do?" I quietly asked, afraid of what he was going to say next.
"Why did you have to come over, flirt with me, and almost kiss me when you knew I was with Emily getting ready to break it off? How could you? I didn't know you were that low!" His voice was filled with anger and hatred. It hurt me to have him yell at me like this. I never wanted him to be like this with me, ever.
"I didn't… want it to be like that. I just wanted to talk to you a bit… I never meant for her to catch us like that." I gulped in air as my throat became tight. It was getting harder for me to breathe, I needed to get out.
Seeing my discomfort, Jackson softened up a bit. "She hates me and I made her cry. I never wanted to hurt her like that; I never knew she liked me that much." He sighed and sat beside me.
"Do you regret it?" I said too quietly, which ended up coming out like a whisper.
"Yeah, I mean… No… I just… For a guy who was first to break it off with a girl that actually liked me back, it's just hard." He rubbed his hands on his thighs for a bit before standing up once again.
"I'm sorry Jackson, if only I didn't confess to you about my dreams, then none of this awkwardness would've happened." I sighed feeling my eyes water up a bit. I am not going to let him see me cry. I am not going to cry about this stupid thing.
"It's not your fault. I cheated on her with you and now I don't need to feel guilty." He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked over at me.
I bit my lip and looked at him into his eyes. He walked closer to me, gripping on my shoulders before bending down to kiss me. It felt like a forced kiss and I wanted him to stop. I knew that he was only kissing me to get over his feelings for Emily and it felt awful. I moved my head to break away from the kiss.
"Why'd you pull away?" He asked, kneeling on the ground in front of me.
"I'm not some kind of rebound tool for you when you get hurt." I hissed keeping my eyes away from him.
"I'm sorry. I just broke up with my girlfriend and now I'm kissing another girl who isn't my girlfriend and this just confuses me."
"What are you saying Jackson?"
"What I'm saying is what if I want you as my girlfriend?"
I looked at his face and he smiled. I didn't know what to say, was he being serious?
"I don't know…" I replied and closed my eyes.
I felt him kiss me again, but this time I could sense a little passion with it. It wasn't forced, and I knew that he wanted me. He moved one of his hands from my shoulders and placed it on my neck rubbing his thumb on my cheek as he tilted my head a little more.
I pulled away from the kiss as soon as I heard my door open. My eyes darted to the door seeing Oliver standing there gaping at us. Why is it only now that Oliver comes by and visits me?
He blushed. "I'll uhh, be in the living room." He closed the door and heard his footsteps fade away.
"Damn." I said under my breath as I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.
"Leave him." Jackson said as he tried to kiss me once again.
"Can you stop? I mean, you just broke up with your girlfriend today and all you want to do is make out!"
He blankly stared at me kinda shocked at my sudden outburst.
"Sorry, I just thought you would feel a little down since you broke up with your girlfriend. Like I said, I'm not a toy to make you feel good, Jackson." I pushed him away from me and got off from my bed. "You stay here while I go talk to Oliver, okay?"
"Yes mother." He laughed and I rolled my eyes.
I walked out of my room, going down the stairs to the living room. I entered it seeing Oliver and my sister watching TV.
"Hey." I said as I sat down next to Oliver.
"Mhmm." He nodded at me and continued to watch TV.
"What you saw up there… and at the mall… Sorry." I let out and then covered my mouth.
He looked at me and expressed a half smile. "I never knew you and Jackson had a thing. I just can't believe it. I'm still shocked that the only reason why he broke up with his girlfriend was because he was with you." he said.
"Wait, wait, wait. We're not together, well at least not yet. You obviously heard the argument Emily and Jackson had in the mall. It's just… we kinda had this accident yesterday where we kissed and stuff… and then we just… I don't know. It's hard to explain, but I guess we're sorta like friends with benefits." I sighed. I can't just tell Oliver that I lost it to Jackson. He's a dude, I'm a girl. Girls don't usually have talks like this with boys.
"Oh. Well, does Miley know that you and Jackson are somewhat seeing each other?" he asks and I shook my head.
"I'm never telling her. She really liked Emily and told him not to mess it up with her. He definitely did mess it up with Em just by almost kissing me in the mall. Now that Jackson broke up with Emily, he wants to know if I want to be his girlfriend." I said which made both Leah and Oliver gasp.
"You must have seriously done something to make him ask you that." Oliver said.
"Well, I don't know. Maybe. Just, promise me you won't tell anyone? Especially Miley. She is the last person I want to know about me and Jackson." I begged putting on a pout on my face.
Oliver smiled and moved closer to me giving me a light hug. "Sure. Anyway, I better go. I have to meet some of my friends at the arcade." he stood up.
I walked with him to the front door and opened it for him.
"Thanks for being a good friend Oliver." I said and gave Oliver another hug.
"Yeah, it's my pleasure." He smiled and waved at me as he walked down the sidewalk. I closed the door behind me seeing Leah staring at me from the living room door.
"Why are you always there when something happens to me now? You were always ignoring me before." I questioned and she laughed.
"That was before I knew my little sister was naughty." She smiled widely and stuck her tongue out at me.
"Sometimes I feel like the older sister." I said just before running up the stairs to my room.
I went in my room and saw Jackson on my computer.
"What are you doing on my computer?" I asked as I closed the door behind me.
"Checking my email and I got one from Miley. You wouldn't believe how long it is and it was basically asking me why I broke up with Emily. She heard about everything that happened by Emily herself. She said Emily couldn't stop crying and asking what she did wrong that made me cheats on her. Ugh, I can't handle it!" He closed the internet window and turned in the chair to look at me.
"Why didn't she just call?" I asked and he brought out his cell phone from his pocket.
"I turned it off. I didn't want to talk to anyone. Do you think I could hide out here tonight?" he asked.
"Maybe, I don't know." I replied and took my own cell phone out feeling it vibrate. It was Miley and I didn't want to talk to Miley just yet.
"Why maybe?"
"I don't know if my moms going to come home or not. My dad's on a business trip and my mom sometimes have to work at night in the hospital. It all depends if my mom works tonight." I walked over to Jackson and sat on his lap looking through my missed call list. I had a few from Emily and a few from Miley. How could I not feel my phone vibrating earlier, I have no clue.
"Call her then." He put his hands on my waist and his chin on my shoulder. I leaned into him and started to dial for my moms' number.
"Shut up." I said as soon as I pressed the call button. I pressed the phone against my ear listening for my mom to answer.
"Lilly?" I heard my mom say and I start to tense up a bit.
"Mom, are you coming home tonight?" I asked and looked at my legs as Jackson started to stroke both my thighs. I shifted on Jackson's lap trying to get him to stop, but he didn't.
"No, sorry, we had a patient do a surgery a few hours ago and I have to watch him. He's in the intensive care unit right now and he's not doing so well. I'll try drop by in the morning though. Tell Leah no parties or I'll kick her out of the house after what I found in your room." Mom said and I giggled.
"Yes mom." I swatted Jackson's hand from my thighs as he started to squeeze them. He started to kiss my neck and I felt my cheeks heat up. "M-mom, I'll talk to you tonight. Bye!" I hung up my phone and put it on the computer desk. I pushed Jackson's hands away from my thighs and got off of him.
"You jackass, I was on the phone if you didn't know." I felt embarrassed. He was doing that while I was on the phone with my mom. It's like having your mom watch you make out with a guy as she's teaching you math or something. Disgusting.
"Sorry, I was just having a little fun." He smirked. "You did like it, didn't you?"
"I'm still not letting you in my pants." I stuck my tongue out at him. "You horny bastard."
He burst out laughing. "Never heard a girl say that before."
"Well, I'm not like all girls. Anyway, my mom's not going to be here, so I guess you could hide out here tonight. You're going on the ground though. I'm so not sleeping with you even if you paid me to." I said.
"Please" he pouted and went on his knees to hug my legs.
"No Jackson! Ugh, seriously, I think you're the perviest pervert ever." I shook my legs trying to get him to release them, but he didn't.
"I take it that you like it." He grinned and got off the ground.
"Ugh, enough of that. Behave or I'll force you to get out of my house and you can go home and get yelled at by Miley herself for breaking up with your "Wicked Tweetie Pot" or whatever." I said recalling him calling Emily that the first time I met her.
He groaned. "Never say that name again, please!" He moved over to my bed and fell on it.
"Why dimple cheeks, you should like it. You let her call you those horrid names for over 2 months!" I laughed and sat down on the bed. "And I quite like your dimpled cheeks." I laughed out loud and felt my arms slip under me.
"You are so going to regret calling me those names." He started to wrestle with me and I pounded on his chest. I was having a lot of fun until someone was pounding on my door. If it was Leah, she wouldn't knock, she would just come in. It must be someone else. We stopped as the pounds get harder.
"Hide." I mouthed to him and he moved into my closet to hide.
I walked to the door and opened it up revealing Miley and Emily.
