From Being A Close Friend Back To A Dork

A/N: hope you guys enjoy this chapter, don't forget to review.

Jake's POV

We got back to my grandma's at 3pm. When I walked in I got me a glass of sweet tea and sat down in a chair and watched some TV.

"So, what did yall do" my grandma asked us.

"We visited the places the grandpa use to take me" I replied.

"Did you guys have fun" she asked us.

"Yea, it was fun, I've never been to the states before" Erica said, smiling.

"Well then I hope you enjoyed it, dinner will be ready at 4 so don't eat anything until then" my grandma said, getting up from the chair and going into the kitchen.

Erica went and opened a cabinet from under the TV stand and pulled out a scrapbook of photos, then she closed the cabinet and sat down beside me. I opened the book and saw a picture of me from when I was 3.

"Aww, you look so happy" Erica said, giggling.

"Yea, that's because that picture was taken here" I said.

"Is that you and your grandpa at a little league baseball game" she asked me.

"Yea, I was playing for the Durham Bulls, number 23 centerfielder" I replied.

"That picture was taken after my team won the game" I said.

She flipped through some more pictures and found one of me and my grandpa sitting in a chair, we're both asleep.

"You look like you had fun" she said.

I snatched the book out of her hands and put it on the table. Then I got up and walked outside and sat on the porch. Something came over me and I just started to cry. My crying was blocking my hearing because I didn't hear Erica come out and sit down beside me. She wrapped her arms around me and embraced me.

"Thanks" I said to her.

"For what" she asked me.

"For being here with me" I replied.

"You're welcome, but you know when we get back to Whitechapel we can't be seen doing this" She said, looking at me.

"I know" I replied.

We sat there like that until my grandma said dinner was ready. We broke apart right before she opened the door so she didn't see anything. Then we both went inside and ate dinner. After dinner my grandma was about to do the dishes when I told her that I got it and told her to sit down. She sat down in a chair and watched TV. A few minutes into washing the dishes she fell asleep in the chair.

"So you and you grandparents must be close" Erica said.

"Yea, they were always there when my parents were busy with work, that's why I'm so close to them" I replied.

When I finished up the dishes I played a card game with Erica. I ended up destroying her in it. We must have played for hours because it was already 10pm when we stopped. By that time my grandma had woken up.

"All right you two, you can have the TV, I'm going to bed, but don't stay up to late" my grandma said, heading to her room.

"Night" I shouted.

I got up and sat down on the couch and watched some TV. Erica came and sat beside me.

"Did you enjoy the United States" I asked her.

"Yea, I'm also glad I got to spend time with you" She replied.

"I thought you only thought of me, Ethan and Benny as dorks" I said.

"Unlike Benny, you didn't try to hit on me, and I know Ethan was all over Sarah so yea" she replied.

"Why do you hang out with Alfonso" I asked her.

"Is that any of your business" she shot back.

"I thought that since we were being open with one another we could really express our feelings" I retorted.

"Yea well I don't want to" she replied.

Just then the Plain White T's song: Hate (I Really Don't Like You), came on TV.

"Why not, Erica just open up it won't be so bad" I said to her.

"Just leave me alone" she said.

"You know if you're just gonna sit here and be like this why don't you go back home" I shouted.

"Fine, don't expect me to be waiting for you" She hissed.

Erica got up and rushed out the door. Then she took up into the sky. I shut the door and locked it, then I grabbed me a glass of sweet tea, turned off the TV and headed to my room. Once I set the glass down on the night stand, I turned on the light and shut the door so it wouldn't wake my grandma, though maybe the shouting would have. I saw that Erica had forgotten her stuff. It would be wrong for me to go through her bag. It's to tempting though. I opened it and inside found makeup, clothes and at the very bottom a diary.

I opened it up and saw that she had being keeping this thing since she was 6, oh this is gonna be fun. The first entry dates back to 2002, when I was 4 or 5 and she was 6. Here is what it read.

June 21st, 2002

There is this new kid that moved here from the United States, his name is Jake, he seems like he might be fun to play with.

That was the first entry, I flipped through the pages and found out that she skipped a few years before writing another one. The second one was in 2006, so she would have been 10 I think.

December 4, 2006

Jake, Benny and Ethan are the coolest guys ever me and Sarah hang out with them every day. I hope I get a pony for Christmas.

Wow, that was pretty funny and that was only the second entry. I flipped through some more pages and it skipped some years again. The next one was in 2011.

February 28, 2011

Jake, Ethan and Benny are dorks, they are so annoying and it doesn't help that Benny is trying to hit on me, Ethan is head over heels for Sarah, and Jake… well Jake is different he's not hitting on me or Sarah, he's neutral, I… I like that.

March 16, 2011.

Today is Jake's birthday, the dork is now 14. He, he is pretty cute, with his hair that falls in his face, but he has it to the right side of his face out of his eyes. I think his dark brown hair and his green eyes are what made me fall for him. Kind has that surfer dude hair going on.

I skipped through some more pages until I found the current journal entry which was today

February 23, 2013

Jake took me to the States to see his grandma, he also showed me around and we went to these places where he and his grandpa went, Alfonso is pretty hot though, especially since he's from Spain. Oh god I can't I decide who I better, Jake or Alfonso, if pick one of them more likely than not I will bite them so we can live forever, I know that sounds harsh but it's what I want.

Wow, I never really looked at Erica that way. I put the diary away and climbed in the bed and got some sleep. I woke up early, and was saying goodbye to Erica.

"I'm glad I got to see you again Jake, if only it was for a while" my grandma said.

"I know" I replied.

"That girl, Erica, I can see it in her eye and the way she talks to you, she is head over heels in love with you, why aren't you dating her" my grandma asked me.

"She's complicated" I replied.

"Yea I bet, she seems like it, I heard you to fighting last night, but Jake if she truly does love you she'll come to you" my grandma said, hugging me.

"Have a save flight home dear, I love you" she said.

"I love you to" I replied.

I grabbed me and Erica's bags and walked out of the house. Once I was out of the house, I walked into the woods and took off into the sky and flew all the way back to Canada. When I got there I landed outside Erica's house and flew up to her window to drop her bag off. Her room was empty so I opened the window and dropped the bag on her bed. I climbed out and shut her window. To be honest I'm surprised my parents, nor Ethan and Benny or Sarah for that matter have tried contacting me or Erica. A car pulled up in Erica's driveway. Her and Alfonso were in it. Alfonso cut the car off and looked over at Erica, who was looking to get out of the car as quick as she can. Alfonso grabbed her and tried to force her to kiss him.

Quickly I flew down onto the driveway, dropped my bag and ran and opened the driver's door and pulled Alfonso out and threw him out on the driveway. He just looked at me.

"You soon will know, what it is like to have the most important thing taken from you" He said, climbing back in his car and taking off.

Erica was walking towards me. I turned and walked past her.

"Your bag is in your room" I said, grabbing my bag and heading to my house.

I got to my room and put my bag on the bed and fell on my bed. It was soft; I could use some much needed sleep. When I woke up it was 9:38pm. My phone was vibrating, I grabbed it and looked to see who was calling, and it was Erica.

A/N: well I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, don't forget to review and this chapter's question is: What do you think Alfonso means by "You soon will know what it is like to have the most important thing taken from you.
