I don't know... it also gives me something to do after school on Wednesdays." I say leaning against the door now. 

 

"I don't want you hurt, you know how he can be." He sighs lookig at me, pleading with me to understand.

 

"I can protect myself, Austin. I haven't been hurt yet." I inform him. 

 

"It's only been what a week?" he torts back, and I nod. Yeah, Jake and I starting talking about a week ago. Jeepers didn't things move fast. "No more tutoring him. That's all I'm asking." he says.

 

"And I not tutoring him.. in history." I say. "Mrs. Oliver assigned me to help him with musical stuff... now that he is playing Hades."I say. He isn't happy about it, but there isn't anything he can do about it. 

 

"Seriously... just be careful. Hang out with Robbie more... he asked me today if you have a boyfriend or something. Which you don't... I assume." He narrows his eyes.

 

"Nope." I smile. "Still single... plan on keep it that way." I lie, and wave goodbye. He smiles, back and I run to my locker throwing my things in. No homework, and it's Thursday after school. Tomorrow is Friday, YES Spring break! No! I have to meet Jakes parents! Oh god! Life is getting complicated! I know I'm getting picked up in the morning, to go home. I'll be with my family, so I'll have to text Jake my adress. Should I go though? Right now with everything going on, including Patrick doesn't want me haning around Jake to begin with! Great, and my parents will wnat to see Jake, cause they wont just let me go with anyone. Oh god, Jake's going to meet my parents! No. Not happening.  They will get the wrong idea, even though they would be right, I wouldn't want them to think that. 

 

Once back at my dorm, I slip into my bed wanting to just sleep. The day was stressful! Good at times but stressful. I could almost fall asleep, but then I remember I have packing to do. Getting up I grab my little carry on like bag, throw my necesities into it. I have clothes at home already. Once I have everything packed and my teeth brushed and all that, I go back to my bed. It's calling my name! Laying out on it, I close my eyes, and then my phone starts ringing. 

 

"Jake?" I answer, wondering what he might be calling for. First time I've used my phone with him, it's weird that I'm even thinking that. 

 

"Hey... so you still wanna go out?" He asks, and I sit up from my bed. I forgot he asked me to do something tonight! I look at myself already in Pj's and ready for bed. I mean it's only 5 P.M but still I wanna get a good night sleep. I planned on just watching movies. "It's fine if you have other plans..." He says into the phone reminding me he is there. 

 

"Ahhh, wanna watch movies? At my place? I'll explain when you get here." I offer, he is quiet a second.

 

"Alright... when do you want me?" He agrees, and I let out a breath of relief. 

 

"Any time." I say, "So see ya soon?" 

 

"Yes." Then we hang up. I look around my room, and start tiddying it up. Putting away clothes, and  making my bed. Then I check my bathroom and my self in the mirror. Tossing my shoes into my closet, I smile sitting n my bed. Looks brand new. Well, not quite but close enough. Then there is a knock at the door. I look at my clock again and an hour and a half passed! Checking my hair one last time, even though it is just down falling naturally, I go to the door. Looking at the floor, semi embarassed. He chuckles, as I let him in. 

 

"Sorry... I tottaly forgot.. and I have to get up early in the morning... I packed and yada yada." I say trailing off. 

 

"It's okay.. I'm alright with a night in!"  he smiles, He also has changed though. He is in sweats maybe he is also in his Pj's.  "You're parents coming to get you ealiy I assume." He takes the cup of hot chocolate from me, I made hot chocolate a couple minutes before he showed up. 

 

"Yeah... I think it's Patrick." I sit next to him on my bed holding my mug. I love the smell of the marshmellows, I take a deep breath with cup under my chin. "So.. I have a bunch of movies, you can choose. I also have snacks, I hide then under my bed. I blush a little more pulling out a bag of barbaque chips.

 

"Oh my god these are my favorite!" He gushes taking the bag from me, "You don't mind do you?" he checks before opening them. I gesture for him to go ahead, and openings the bag slowly taking a deep breath in as the air from the bag comes out. I laugh at him, getting up and looking through my movies.  "Do you have any of the disney movies?" He asks, between mouth fulls of chips. 

 

"Like that classics?" I ask shocked he even knows what disney is. He nods, taking a sip of his hot chocolate. Then he set down the chips and mug and looks at my movies with me. "You like disney movies?" I ask, not sure I believe him. 

 

"Ah who doesn't secretly enjoy a disney movie?" He asks total seriousness. I point at the couple I have hear. Only my favorites like Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, and Dumbo. I have some of the newer ones though too, like Frozen and Tangled. 

 

"Okay either Beauty and the Beast or Tangled." He says standing. "Or both... if you're still awake." He smirks, and I nod, accepting his challenge. I'll stay awake.  We watch Tangled first, snuggling under my blankets together. Once we've gone through three disney movies which Jake has all choosen, I lay in closer to him, feeling a wave sleep coming. "You tired?" He asks quietly. I just nod. "You want me to go so you can sleep?"

 

"No." I say, laying my head down on his chest. Totally not something that shoud happen on the first date, but it is. He wraps an arm around me, and we talk until I fall asleep. I wake up two times in the night, both times from noise going on outside my room. It doesn't phase Jake at all, and everytime I do wake up I have to untangle our limbs. Our legs locked and turned and twists, we're practically the size of one person we're so close!  I kiss him the two times I do wake up, liking that I'm semi taking advantage of him. 

 

I try to sit up when there is a loud banging on my door, but I can't. Jake is practically laying on me, and holding me in his iron grip. I squirm as the knocking keep going. How can this not wake him up? Looking at my clock I see it' way  to earlier for it to be Patrick, so I just snuggle into Jake again hoppig it will go away. When it goets louder, I groan. 

 

"Paige? Did you leave already?" Robbie's voice speaks from the other side. My eyes open wide, and my stomach comes up to my throat. "I know you're in there! I can I hear you snoring." He says, and I realize finally that it's Jake he is hearing.  I squirm again, trying to wake Jake up now. When I finally get out from  under him, I hit the ground with a light thud. I semi fell off my bed. "Paige?" Robbie asks.

 

"I'm coming!" I reply, and Jake sits up. I point at the door, and he is confused. He is half asleep still! "Just give me a sec Robbie!" I say.

 

"Okay?" he says, and Jake's eye go wide. He gets up and I stuff him into my closet. The bathroom would've been better, but Robbie might've seen or heard him in there. I go the to the door, opening it to try and keep him out all together that would be easier. "You okay?" He asks, and I nods wipping my eyes. "I have food from the dinner for you.." He says, holding up a to go box. Pancakes. I smell it!  I let him in.

 

"I don't have long I have to get ready." I inform him, and he nods. "What do you want?" I ask. 

 

"Okay... so my dad wants to know if you'll go out on our boat with us Thursday afternoon." He says, getting straight to the point. 

 

"Thursday?" I say. Why do I feel like I have plans on Thursday? Oh, Jakes family diner thing! "I can't." I glance at my closet. Robbie sits on my bed narrowing his eyes at me. "I'm sorry... I have plans with some friends.." I say. 

 

"Carmen?" he asks? I shake my head. No, not her. 

 

"No... people you wouldn't know..." I say, looking at th clock now. I need to start getting ready, and eat something! I'm hungry. "What's that face for?" I ask, noticing Robbies sour expression.  

 

"Friend as in a g-"

 

"No." I say running into my bathroom and turning on th shower. "It's a group of girls... no guys." Wow I just keep lying to him. Let "Robbie I really have to get ready." I say. 

 

"Alright fine... oh I have some food for you. I figured you would want one of your fruit waffle things.." I peek out and he sets down the to go box on my desk. I smile, he is so nice to me!  "Be sure to tell your family I say hi!" he says, walking over to me. He gives me a hug, which normally wouldn't have been so awkward for me if Jake wasn't in my closet.  "Bye Paige." He whispers, also kissing my forehead. It sends a shiver down my spine. 

 

"By Robbie." I give him a quick squeeze and then lead him towards the door. Once he is gone, I lean agianst the door scratching my forehead. I go over to the closet and see Jake holding Fiddle. How did he get in there?  "What are you doing?" I ask, still lost with how the cat got in there. 

 

"He must've came in here last night when the door was open all night..." Jake sighs, setting him down on the bed.  "So, you remembered my parents dinner." 

 

"Yes." I say, opening my waffle. I haven't had one of these in so long! "Want some?" I ask, and he shakes his head.  "Okay.. well, I really do need to start getting ready. Patrick could be here in the next twenty minutes. So, I'll see you Thursday?" I ask. He nods. 

 

"I'm picking you up at..?" He asks, before he closes the door to leave.

 

"I'll text you the adress!" I wave, then he smiles and the door closes. I let out a breath and dig into my waffle, then I zoom through the shower and get ressed for the day.

Chapter 21- Passing Notes

Jake's POV

 

Slipping down the stairs with a smile on my face, I think I'm the happiest guy around. That's the best I've slept in while, and that sounds cliché but it's true.
