Chapter 1

My mum demanded I go out with my brother and his best friend so they will help me with the shopping because she needed some alone time with my father.

My parents have been together for ever since high school, they are not perfect, they have their fights to the point that this one thing my mother almost left my father.

But at the end of the day they sorted it out and stayed together.

Olive is my brother, who by the thinks

"Mum do they have to come with me" I shout out loud so she can hear me.

"Well, my dearest little sister, we don't want to go shopping with you either," my brother says as he goes back into his room.

"Well neither do I" I add as I shut my door.

"Yes honey, you have to" she shouts back after 1 minute later.

I quickly get dressed and head out to wait for them to get off the phone with their girlfriends. And I thought us girls take a long time to get dressed or get out of the house.guess what? we are not the only ones.

"Hurry up, I don't have all day" I shout so that they both hear me.

They finally come downstairs, that is when my eyes turned to his best friend, he's soft pink lips and those gorgeous eyes of his.

I look at him and he looks at me back, we keep looking at each other until my best friend tiara knocks on the door.

"Wait, you invited your friend," my brother says.

"Yeah, I had to," I told him as I began to walk to the bus stop.After waiting for the bus for 5 whole minutes, it came, and we got on.

"So, Jacob," my best friend says as she pauses for a while "Do you have a girlfriend" she asks him.

"Yes," he says as he looks at me and looks away and looks at the tiara.

"Why her, I mean like you are hot and all, why choose her" she says not even caring or know what she is saying. If only she could hear herself.

"I don't know, I guess I like her," he says as he looks out the window.

"So, Alice" she turns to me and pauses for a while and speaks. "How's everything with your boyfriend?" she said while my brother was sitting in front of us.

"Tiara, what the hell" I slap her arm.

"Hey, that hurts," she says.

"You have a boyfriend" my brother says as he raises his right eyebrow.

"Yeah, I do" I told him, hoping he would not tell mom and dad.

"Oh" she says it takes her 5 minutes to understand what she did wrong.

"How long?" I heard Jacob ask as he turned his head and looked at me.

"1 year" I told him as he turned around.We finally got there, we shopped for everything that was on the list.We finally finished doing everything mother wrote on the shopping list.

Honestly, this is the second time I and Jacob ever spoke. We always look at each other but that is it.It is weird right; he is my brothers' best friend, I do not even speak to him much.

My best friend won't stop saying sorry after what happened. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have talked to him today.

And because of that I can't stop smiling which I probably should because I'm with someone else.

"I'm sorry" tiara says as she sits beside me.

"It's fine honestly, thanks to you me and him are friends now" I said.

"I'm so happy for you, I want this for you" she said as I smiled.

Then all the reality hits me, I have a boyfriend. Someone who is kind and amazing, and who wants the best for me.

And I'm here emotional cheating on him,for someone who would never notice me. He sure as hell didn't notice me for a whole year.

"What is it?" tiara asked.

"I have a whole ass boyfriend and I'm emotionally cheating on him" I said as I fell back into my bed.

"Yeah I know, I know I can't give you good advice, but before giving it up for Jacob after he finally talked to you, give your boyfriend a chance before letting things with you and Jacob develop more" she said.

"I would never cheat on him without breaking it off first" I said.

"I know you wouldn't but it's Jacob, you're not yourself with him" she said.

"I know," I said as I got up.

"Let's go take out," I said as we drove to McDonald's.

Later on me and her come back and we watch for a while and then head for bed.

I woke up in the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep. I felt like my mind was racing with thoughts, and I can't stop it.

I go downstairs and get a drink.

"Shit" I said as I placed my hand on my heart.

"You scared me," I said as he smiled.

"You're still here," I asked him.

"I'm staying over," Jacob said.

I walk past him and get a drink.

He jumps and sits on the kitchen counter.

I can feel his eyes on him but I'm too scared to look at him.

"Why are you awake?" he asked.

"I can't sleep," I said.

"Same problem here" he said as he smiled.

"Why are you smiling?" I asked as I laughed.

"Smiling doesn't mean I have an evil plan up my sleeve" he said.

"Okay I will take your word for it" I said.

"Good night Jacob," I said as I washed the glass and headed to bed.
