Jake's POV
Okay well I have to do community service for 3 months and when I finish they drop the case. I sent the text to Erica and Benny. The first to reply was Erica saying thank god you didn't go to jail, you would've got raped. Benny didn't respond. I called him and he sound in a pissy mood so I told him I'd talk to him later. I replied back to Erica's text message saying I would've been somebody's bitch, lol.
3 months later
Me and Benny have been getting into fights lately mostly about Erica. I haven't talked to him in a while. I stayed after school to help these kids decorate the hallway and that would be the last thing I had to do for community service. Which mainly was helping out at nursing homes and all that. Once I finished I grabbed my stuff and rode the after school bus home. I logged on Facebook and right as I got on Erica started talking to me. We spent most of the night talking. The next day at school the football team was hosting one of our rivals. I took Erica to the game. At warm ups I was talking to the 1st string quarterback and I got to throw a couple passes. The head coach walked up to me and asked if I played football before, I told him no. he then asked me if I wanted to join the schools team, I could be backup. After the game, I went into the locker room and got measured and once that was done I got to pick my number. I picked my favorite number, number 14. I got 3 jerseys, one for home games, one for away games and one that was the same as our home jerseys but I was able to keep and wear whenever.
Later that night I looked at the depth chart on the schools website and saw that I was backup, so I was 2nd string. The next game was a home game, I assisted our score making 2 touchdowns and throwing for 89yds. After the game I went over to Erica's and hung out for a bit. We started talking about the game. Benny then came over. I was getting ready to leave when Erica told me to sit down. Benny sat right beside me. Me and Benny started getting into an argument about what happened at school and how long I was at Erica's before he got here. Erica then shushed us both. I looked at Benny then to Erica, Erica which one is it, me and Benny said at the same time. I don't know I like you both, you guys stay here and tomorrow I should have it figured out.
Erica's POV
I went to bed that night thinking which one I was going to choose I mean Jake is a nice guy and cute, and Benny has the same qualities but he can do magic. I laid there for I don't know how long thinking it over and over. Finally I drifted off to sleep. When I woke up I went down stairs to see if Jake and Benny were still in once piece, they both left last night after I fell asleep. I drove to Jake's house and his parents told me that he went to the school for practice. Once I got to the school I saw Jake practicing with the wide receivers. I called him over and told him that by tonight I would have the answer. Some of the cheerleaders were looking at Jake as he was walking back to practice, I looked at them then texted Benny and told him I would have the answer by tonight. It's been on my mind since last night and I still don't know who to pick.
Benny's POV
In my opinion Jake had his chance with Erica, that had come and gone. Now it's Bennica, I don't know why he would break up with Erica, but it was his choice and a good one to because now she is with me. The only thing left for me to do is to help Ethan with his problems with Sarah. I know that Erica will make the right decision tonight. If she doesn't well then it's her loss not mine. But technically she's still with me, so why would she be choosing, oh well she's with me and it's gonna stay that way. Jake's just a stupid jock who is insane.
Jake's POV
Benny, we use to be friends but Erica tore our friendship apart. With her wicked looks and attitude, she could have any boy she wanted to. That's what makes me wonder why she chose me in the beginning, I was just a average guy. Maybe she saw something in me that most people overlooked or something. It should be pretty obvious who she picks, but the way she and Benny are she might pick him. I'm pretty sure I'm the better choice because Benny has been on the edge lately while I've been keeping it cool and improving my relationship with her after our previous fallout. What bothers me is why she is going to make us wait until tonight to find out who she picks. I don't know why she would make us wait that long, I think it's stupid. But I'm not gonna be upset if she picks Benny over me, it's her decision not mine. I just hope she makes the right one.
Erica's POV
I've been thinking about it all day, and I'm pretty sure my heart is in the right place even if my brain isn't. I texted both Jake and Benny and told them to come over. Once they got here I told them to sit down. Now that you're both here I think it's time for you guys to find out who I choose. I've thought long and hard about this, but I can only have one of you so the person who I choose is. Jake.
A/N: did you guys like the outcome, i did, i will have more chapters up tomorrow.
