Chapter 28
Jessica met Ryan outside the school after school had finished and they went to Ryan's house to finish their biology project that was due in next Monday. Kim was a bit frustrated with Jessica after Jessica never showed up at break because she had ended up talking to Elliot and then Ryan. But Kim seemed to have forgotten about it by the end of the day.
"You heard anything else from Elliot today after your talk with him at break today?" Ryan asked Jessica as they walked out the school gates.
"No I haven't seen him since," Jessica replied, "I just hope things become less awkward between me and him".
"I still can't believe that you are not annoyed at him after everything he has done. He has basically led you on all this time Jess," Ryan said, trying to let Jessica see that Elliot wasn't as great as she thought he was.
Jessica tried to tell herself that what she and Elliot had was real and that he wasn't leading her on but with both Kim and Ryan telling her this it made her question if he was.
"You and Kim both say that he was leading me on but I don't think he was. At least I hope he wasn't but if he was then I just feel really stupid for trusting him for all this time," Jessica replied.
"You're not stupid Jessica. You are like one of the smartest people I know. After all that is why we are working on this project together because I'm not very smart and you are smart so helping me learn," Ryan said trying to make Jessica feel better.
They arrived at Ryan's house and Ryan found a note from his mom telling him she had gone out and wouldn't be home until late.
"She's probably away on another date," Ryan said with a disapproving tone.
"Is it still the same guy she had a date with the last time I was round?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah she says things are going well. I'm still to meet him though," Ryan said, "I hate meeting any new men she brings into my life I find it difficult to trust them after what happened a few years back.
Ryan got too glassed out the cupboard and poured juice into them, "thanks," Jessica said as Ryan handed it to her.
"Let's try and get this project finished then," Ryan said as he took his books out of his bag.
After about another hour of work Jessica and Ryan had finally finished their project.
"Well that is such a good feeling knowing I won't have to do any more of that project and that all the work is over," Jessica said with relieve as she closed her books.
"I know," Ryan agreed, "But I am a little sad about it finishing".
"How come?" Jessica asked.
"Because I've really enjoyed getting to know you and just having a good laugh with you," Ryan smiled.
"Remember I will still help you whenever you need any extra tuition with Biology or nay other subject," Jessica offered.
"Aw that is really nice of you," Ryan replied, "But I am really grateful for how nice and understanding you have been. You are the only person I have ever told about my mom's ex boyfriend and the only girl I have ever cried in front of".
"I really trust you as well. Apart from Kim you are the only person that I told about Elliot and you never judged me. Even Kim thought it was awful of me to fall for my sisters ex boyfriend and don't get me wrong I feel terrible for it but I'm not usually that kind of person who does things like that," Jessica said trying to justify her and Elliot.
"I get that you can't help who you fall for because I'm really falling for you," Ryan smiled. Jessica looked a little bit uncomfortable as Ryan lent forward and kissed Jessica to which she kissed him.
Jessica smiled as released from Ryan's kiss and they both looked awkwardly at each other. Jessica wasn't sure what just happened. she couldn't beleive that she just kissed Ryan.
"I'm sorry I know you still like Elliot but I really like you Jessica and I have loved every second I have spent with you doing this project," Ryan said.
"I know this sounds weird but even though me and Elliot have this thing or had this thing I still like you too," Jessica smiled back, "You have been so nice to me and when I'm with you I feel really nervous and I get butterflies in my stomach and I don't get that with anyone else. To begin with I was confused as to why I felt that way around you but it soon became clear to me that it was because I felt something for you, that's why I trusted you to tell you things". Jessica had never admitted this to herself but she had know for some time that she was falling for Ryan, which left her really confused because she didn't know who she liked more.
"Usually I'm the really confident one and I like to think I can get any girl I want but I felt intimidated that you would turn me down because I know how you feel about Elliot, and it killed me knowing how badly he treated you, because I kept saying to myself that he doesn't know how lucky he is and that I would never treat you that way Jessica". Jessica was shocked to hear these words from Ryan she had no idea that he liked her.
"This is bad though, real bad," Jessica said as she felt confused about Ryan and Elliot and then she remembered how much Kim liked Ryan.
"What's bad?" Ryan asked.
"I really am such a bad sister. First Sarah and now Kim," Jessica said.
"What about Kim?" Ryan was really confused now.
"I shouldn't tell you this but Kim likes you! She has had a crush on you for ages and was so jealous of me because you were paired with me," Jessica revealed.
"Kim? I have never spoke to Kim before in my life," Ryan was surprised that Kim had fancied him.
"She will hate me for this," Jessica said, "I don't think she would ever forgive me for this either".
"Jessica don't let Kim ruin things between me and you. I don't even know your sister and I'm sure she will understand that. It wasn't like we planned for this to happen," Ryan said, "I'll come with you when you want to tell her".
Jessica was really confused she liked Elliot and couldn't see herself with anyone else until today when she kissed Ryan and realised that all this time she had liked him as more than a friend. Jessica felt really bad because she knew what she was doing to Sarah was wrong but now Kim. Jessica wasn't even sure if she wanted to be in a relationship with Ryan but he seemed really keen and wanted to tell Kim already.
"Let me think about this because I don't know how Kim will take it," Jessica said giving herself more time to decided who it was that she liked more Elliot or Ryan.
"Jessica I know you are unsure of it all but I have never felt this way about someone before and I can tell that you feel the same way about me," Ryan said as he could see the concern and confusing in Jessica's eyes.
"I am a bit unsure but your right I have feelings for you too," Jessica smiled, "You're one of the nicest people I have ever met. Come round to my house on Wednesday night because I really want to see you again, but just tell people that we are studying again because I'm ready to tell Kim yet".
"Does this mean that you want to be with me?" Ryan asked Jessica.
"Yeah I do," Jessica smiled. She had decided that Ryan actually wanted to be with her and he really did like her where as Elliot didn't want a relationship so part of Jessica just felt that Ryan was the right choice.
"I know it is going to be hard for you to tell Kim but I'll be there by your side and I'll support you through it, I'll even speak to Kim if you want me too," Ryan offered. Jessica loved how supportive Ryan was being but she was still dreading to tell Kim.
"Well I better get going but I'll see you on Wednesday night," Jessica said as she got up to leave.
"Aren't I getting a kiss before you leave?" Ryan asked.
Jessica turned back and kissed Ryan before she walked home.
Jessica couldn't believe what had just happened in the last hour at Ryan's house. Jessica was still confused and unsure, she wasn't sure if she had made her decision to choose Ryan over Elliot too quickly and if this now meant that they were in a relationship and she was scared to tell Kim. But she still felt happy that she had something with Ryan and that he genially liked her and wanted to be with her.
Jessica just wished that she had someone to talk to about it, because she couldn't tell Kim about Ryan or tell Saran about Elliot and the other two people she really trusted were Elliot and Ryan and she obviously couldn't tell them because it concerned them.
