Jason's POV

Saturday (A Day After the Dance)

I open my eyes, wondering what I'm doing awake. I look around and spot Reyna on the edge of my bed, smiling at me.

"Finally, you're awake," she says.

I sit up and rub my eyes. "What time is it?"

"It's almost one o' clock."

I raise my eyebrows. "Wow."

"Yeah."

"Uh, when did you get here?" I ask, cautiously. Did she get here really early and just sit on my bed, watching me sleep? That's kind of creepy.

"About a few minutes ago. I need to talk to you."

I nod, relieved that she hasn't been here too long, and stretch my arms. "Yeah, what is it?" I ask.

She looks down. "I...I think we should break up."

I stop stretching immediately, and stare at her, wide-eyed. Did she really just say what I thought she said? "What?"

"It's just that...you're obviously still in love with Piper. I think it's time we break up. You belong with her, not with me."

"I...huh?"

Reyna sighs. "Look. I can't keep doing this. You obviously still love Piper. We have to break up."

I stare at her, shocked, as her words register in my brain. She's breaking up with me? Because she thinks I still love Piper? Well, it's true, but...how does she know?

Reyna suddenly bursts out laughing. I continue staring at her. "What's so funny?" I ask her, confused.

"Oh GOD! Jason, your reaction was just...hilarious!" she giggles. "Don't worry. I'm just kidding. I'm not breaking up with you."

I stay silent.

"Jason? Did you hear me? I said I was kidding."

I'm still silent.

"Jason. I'm sorry, it was just a joke."

Still silent.

"Jason?"

I take a deep breath. "Reyna, you-you're not...wrong."

She raises her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"I...I do love Piper," I say, quietly. "I really love her."

She's silent for a moment before speaking up. "Wow." She looks down.

I feel guilt rush over me. "Reyna, I'm really sorry-"

"Don't," she interrupts. "Don't apologize. You have absolutely no reason to apologize."

I don't know what to say.

Reyna looks up at me. "Promise me something."

"Anything."

"In case she loves you, too, be good to her. Alright?"

As if she will love me. But I promise her anyway. "Alright."

She smiles at me before leaning over and kissing my cheek. "Goodbye, Jason," she whispers.

"Goodbye, Reyna," I whisper back.

She leans away and grabs her purse before walking out the door. I sigh.

Looks like I'm single now.

And I'll stay single for a while.

Piper's POV

After I pull my hair into a braid and tie the laces on my shoes, my phone rings. I grab it and answer it. "Hello?"

"Hey, Piper. You ready?"

"Yeah." Dylan decided to take me to Aunty Em's for lunch this afternoon. I didn't actually feel like going, but I decided just to go anyway.

"Okay, I'm, like, right in front of your house. Come outside."

My eyebrows shoot up. I walk over to my window and lift the curtain. Sure enough, Dylan is standing right next to his motorcycle, while holding his phone to his ear.

"Wow. You're literally in front of my house."

"Pretty much. Now come out."

I drop my curtain and grab my purse. "Okay. I'm gonna hang up."

"Okay."

After I hang up and run out of my room, I rush downstairs, hoping I can go out before seeing Jason. Reyna came over a few minutes ago and just left. I'm really hoping that I don't see Jason with disheveled hair and swollen lips.

I open the door, walk out, and slam it behind me. Dylan sees me and waves at me as I walk over to him.

"Hey, Piper."

"Hey."

"Ready to go?"

"Um, yeah." He grins at me before climbing on his motorcycle. I climb on behind him and watch as he starts the engine and rides away.

At Aunty Em's

As we eat, we talk about Dylan going off to college.

"When did you get accepted?" I ask him, taking a sip of my Coke.

"Around a few weeks ago. I got a full scholarship."

"For what?"

"For soccer."

Oh. Right. He plays soccer. Must have slipped from my mind.

"Uh, cool, I guess. You're happy, right?"

He nods. "Yeah. London seems cool. Hey, I might even get an accent," he jokes.

I force a laugh. "Totally."

He smiles and pops a fry into his mouth. We talk about other stuff, besides college, but I'm just not into it. I pretend I'm interested, but I'm really just thinking about the fact that Reyna and Jason are in his room...alone.

I am suddenly brought out of my thoughts when someone taps my shoulder. I look up to see Reyna. I widen my eyes, shocked.

What is she doing here?

"Hey, Piper. Fancy seeing you here," she giggles. She turns to Dylan. "Hey."

Dylan nods at her. "Hey."

I force a smile. "Hey, Reyna. What are you doing here?" I ask.

Her smile wavers. "Oh, I, uh, just came back from Jason's. I decided that I should get some takeout or something."

I nod. "Cool."

Dylan stands up. "I'll be right back."

"Okay." I watch as he walks away before turning to Reyna. "So, are you and Jason going to the same college?"

She sighs, her smile fading away completely.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Can I sit?"

I nod, and usher her to sit on Dylan's seat. "What's up?"

Reyna looks down and then I notice. She's sad.

"Jason and I...broke up."

It takes a while for the words to process.

Jason. Reyna. Break up.

Holy shit.

"What?!" I exclaim.

She hushes me. "Shh!"

"Sorry. But...why did you two break up?"

She sighs. "He likes someone else."

My heart literally snaps open when she says this.

Seriously? Why? Why, Jason? Why?

"Oh," I mutter. "Right."

She gives me a sad smile. "Aren't you gonna ask who?"

I nod, feeling numb. "Oh, right. Who?"

She laughs, but it's a sad laugh. "It's exactly who I was afraid of. I knew something would happen."

I feel a bit of empathy. I know exactly how she feels. The person you like, liking someone else. I can't make this hard for her. "Reyna, you don't have to tell me. It's alright, just-"

"It's you, Piper," she interrupts.

"What?"

"You. Jason likes you. In fact, he's in love with you."

I stare at her. "This isn't funny."

"I'm not trying to be funny. I'm trying to be honest."

"Jason doesn't love me." My heart lurches as the words leave my mouth.

"He told me himself."

I open my mouth to reply but nothing comes out. "He...he hates me," I manage.

"Piper. Jason loved you in sophomore year, too. That's why he and Drew broke up. And then when you guys fought, he thought he didn't love you anymore. I could tell he was lying to himself, but I was selfish enough to believe him anyway. He finally admitted it again to himself. Piper, he loves you. He doesn't just like you. Jason fucking loves you."

I ignore her cursing and focus on what she's saying. He loved me? And he still loves me?

It's too much to believe. I can't even...

I stare at Reyna. She smiles sadly at me before getting up. "Piper, keep him happy, alright? If you dare break his heart, I won't hesitate to punch your guts out. Just remember, you're a very lucky girl."

With that, she walks away.

I stare after her, trying to register what just happened before I hear a very familiar voice behind me that makes me go pale.

"Wow. You leave for a few minutes and you miss everything."

I hesitantly turn around.

Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge.

It's Dylan.

In the parking lot

"Dylan! Stop! WAIT!" I yell, running after him.

After he slapped the bill down on the table, he stormed out of the restaurant and I had to chase him all the way to the secluded and empty parking lot. He's pissed off. And it's scaring me.

If he hurts Jason...

"DYLAN! Please! Just hear me out!" I shout, trying to keep up with his pace. God, soccer really makes him run fast.

Soon, we reach his motorcycle. He stands right next to it, breathing heavily. I stand a few feet behind him, panting.

He finally turns to me. His fists and jaw are clenched. His eyes are blazing with fury. "Is it true?!" he demands.

"Is..is what true?" I ask him.

"You know what!" he shouts at me. I flinch. I've never heard him use that tone before. "Does Jason love you?!"

"I...I don't know!"

"Do YOU like him?!" He takes a step towards me and grabs my wrist, gripping it tightly. I wince. It hurts. A lot. I try to yank it out but he's way stronger than me.

"Answer me!" Dylan shouts, holding it tighter, shaking it.

"Dylan, you..you're hurting me," I whimper.

"The pain you're feeling is nothing compared to what I'm feeling," he hisses, clenching it even tighter.

"Dylan, let go!" I beg, gasping in pain.

"ANSWER ME, GODDAMMIT!" he roars. "Do you like him?! Do you?! DO YOU LIKE JASON?!"

At this point, I finally give up. "YES! I do! I'm sorry, but I do! I-I might even love him."

Shock flashes across his face. His eyes widen and his grip on my wrist loosens. I take that opportunity to pull my arm out. I don't care if Dylan and I break up. I don't care if I don't get over Jason. Because now, I know he loves me back. And that's the only thing I care about.

"L-love? You...you love him?" Dylan stammers.

I nod, a bit of guilt washing over me. "Yes. I do. I do love him. I love Jason. I love him a lot. I love everything about him. Even when he's rude and we have fights and he's annoying and a jerk to me, I still love him. I love his smile, his eyes, his laugh, his witty remarks, his arrogance, his eyes, his jokes, his sense of humor, his…..everything." I finally finish my rant, feeling a whole lot better.

I feel...free.

I study Dylan's expression. I feel a whole lot worse. I know how it's like to love someone and know that they love someone else. Well, for my case, it wasn't true, but still.

"Dylan, I'm really sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I just don't feel the same way that you do about me. I can't help-"

Dylan cuts me off, by lifting his hand and slapping me right across my face. It all happened so fast.

I stare at him, shocked. Did he really just do that?

His eyes are blazing with anger and hatred as he looks down at me. "Congratulations, McLean," he spits. "You got the bad boy to fall in love with you, and then broke his heart."

With that, he got on his motorcycle, started the engine, and rode away, leaving me alone and stranded.

A tear ran down my face. And then another. And another. And another.

Soon, I was full blown sobbing.

I get my phone from my purse, and scroll down my contacts, trying to find who I'm looking for. I finally find it and dial it. After two rings, they pick up.

"Hello?"

"H-Hazel? I'm in the parking lot of Aunty Em's. Can you pick me up?"

The End.

Aha just kidding!

BUT, we're getting closer and closer to the end! YAY!
