Billy's P.O.V
Let's just say I'm lucky I didn't get pulled over because I went way over the speed limit on the drive up here. My hands were shaking and I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. I was nervous but at the same time excited because I was going to finally tell Jane how I really felt about her. I was a little early so I wasn't surprised when Jane wasn't in school yet. I went to my locker trying to calm myself down a little bit because my pulse was racing.. This was going to be a day I would remember for the rest of my life.
Jane's P.O.V
Since the whole topic of work was brought up this morning it was pretty ironic that I received a text message from Eli. I read it aloud because Ben looked pretty interested. "Hey Jane it's Eli, I hope you are feeling better and have gotten plenty of rest. I know you have school and remember I promise you I won't tell anyone about that but Grey needs you in her office this morning. It's really important and I don't think you can miss this." Ben told me I could afford to take one day off and offered me a lift to Donavon Decker. "Thanks Ben." He laughed, "It's no problem kiddo just go have fun. You sure do deserve it." The car ride went by pretty quick and before I knew it I was in front of this amazing office. Eli was already outside waiting for me. I waved goodbye to Ben and before I knew it Eli had taken me in his arms. "I've missed you Jane! Things just haven't been the same around here without you." He looked so happy to see me. "Does Grey know about my accident?" I wondered if she was going to go easy on me or not. "No, I figured it would lead to too many questions and we couldn't let your secret get out." I was confused. "What secret?" Realization hit him. "Oh ya you probably don't remember. Grey doesn't know your real age because if she found out you wouldn't be able to work here. So she can't find out your only in high school." Wow my life was pretty complicated. "Thanks for helping me out Eli. I really appreciate it." Since the meeting with Grey wasn't for another thirty minutes Eli offered to buy me a cup of coffee. He led me to the small café outside of the workplace and I found an empty table to sit at as he purchased two cups of coffee for us.

Okay, this is late for Jane.. I was starting to get concerned since usually she is at school by now. I walked to Ben's office to see what was up. I've never been so happy to see Ben in my entire life. "Hey, where's Janey? I haven't seen her at school yet." I really hope she's here because what I had to tell her couldn't wait. "She had an important meeting to go to for work so I allowed her to take the day off because I wanted her to go do something that would make her happy since she deserves that." Could my luck get any worse? I have to go there and tell her, there was no time to waste. "I know she doesn't want to see me but I need to tell her how I feel about her. I hope you understand Ben." He smiled, "Go win her over Billy. By the way I always knew it would be you who would be the perfect match for her." That made me so ridicously happy. "Thanks Ben!" I ran out of his office and hopped in my car and made my way to Donavon Decker." I felt like time was going by so slowly. Finally after what felt like an eternity I reached her office. I got out of the car and just as I was about to rush to the building I noticed Jane sitting with Eli at the café. I was in the midst of approaching them when my heart broke into a million pieces. Eli grabbed her hands and leaned in for a kiss and Jane didn't refuse. Just in that moment she went to pick up something she had dropped and was met with my distraught face.
Jane's P.O.V
Eli had just come back to the table and I was glad I was getting to spend some time with him since we haven't really talked much since that day at the hospital. He asked me how I was feeling and I told him about how I was starting to remember some things. It felt nice to just take my mind off of everything for a while. For the first time I was actually smiling and it felt good. All of a sudden Eli grabbed my hands and looked into my eyes. "Give me a second chance Jane?" Maybe this was how things were meant to be since obviously Billy wasn't interested and things were a huge mess between us at the moment. So why not? "Yes." He leaned in to kiss me and I didn't refuse. I had dropped the lid to my coffee afterwards, which made Eli laugh. He thought it was cute. When I went to pick it up I saw Billy standing watching me and Eli from a distance. He looked so hurt but I wasn't quite sure why. It's not like I need his permission to spend time with Eli or be with him romantically for that matter. Why is it that whenever I think things are starting to go right they always end up taking a turn for the worst. Will I ever win?
