Is This Love? - Jess Mariano x Reader

Chapter Four: Care Package

Y/N's Pov
I was at home doing laundry and listening to music. Rory was out with Dean, and mom was out with her boyfriend. I heard someone knock. I sighed and went to go answer it. Paris?!
"Y/N, hey," Paris said walking in.
"Paris, I'm kinda busy," I told her.
"We have a test on Thursday! And your doing laundry, and listening to Nirvana?!" Paris shouted at me.
"Paris, please," I insisted.
"Just please let me stay," Paris asked.
I groaned and went to my bedroom and changed into jeans and a long sleeve blue shirt. Paris had ready set up the studying stuff.
About 20 minutes later~~
We finished studying and I heard another knock at the door. I got up and answered it. It was Jess. He was holding a box of food.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well, Luke thought that you were alone tonight, you probably wouldn't have any food in the house, so he sent over a little care package," Jess told me.
"Well, I already ordered food," I said pointing inside.
He walked inside.
"Jess.." I groaned.
He put the box on the kitchen table.
"So," Jess told me.
I gave him a look.
"What? No tip?" He asked me.
"You want money?" I asked him.
"No.. but I'll take a fry though," He told me.
"Yeah, yeah, take as much as you'd like," I told him.
He took off his jacket and sat down.
"Aren't you going to eat?" He asked me.
"Yeah," I told him.
I sat down. Then Paris came in.
"Y/N, where's-," She started.
"You can have some Paris," I told her.
"Okay, thank you," She said sitting down.
We started eating and Jess and Paris started arguing about books.
-------
After we were done eating I stood up.
"Bye Jess," I told him.
"Bye?" He asked.
"Yes, bye," I told him.
He stood up.
"You really want me to go?" He asked.
"Tristan's coming over," I told him.
"Ahh, Tristan," He told me.
"Jess!" I said starting to get frustrated.
"Fine, fine," Jess started walking out. He stopped.
"Ooo, owe," Jess groaned.
"What is it?" I asked.
He turned to me smiling.
"I think I just twisted my ankle, I better lie down," Jess said laughing.
I started to push him out.
"God, your no fun when your tense," He teased.
I pushed him up against the door. He held his hand infront of the door knob.
"Are you sure you want me to go?" He asked me.
"Because maybe this whole thing with Tristan can be solved if me and him sit down, have a little heart to heart, he can tell me his issues, I'll tell him mine," He told me.
"Jess!" I snapped.
"I promise I'll speak slowly," He said.
"Bye!" I yelled at him.
"Okay, well, give him my best, would ya?" Jess said before walking out.

"Actually, I guess I can do that myself," He said.
Tristan was standing there.
"Tristan, Jess just came by to bring me some food" I said to him.
"From Luke's," Jess added.
"He wanted to make sure I eat," I told him.
"Luke," Jess told him.
"Yeah, Luke did," I added.
"Personally I could care less if she eat," Jess told Tristan.
"Yeah, true, he could care less," I told him nervously.
"I see you've brought a little somethin too, wait is that ice cream? That's so nice! I tiny little ice cream package just big enough for two," Jess said. Tristan started walking closer to Jess.
"Are you guys gonna feed each other? Because that's just so darn cute!" Jess told Tristan.
"Jess," I said gently touching his arm.
"Fine, I'm going. Look man, I really was just dropping off some food, so don't get all west side story on me, okay?" Jess said walking away.
Before I could say anything Tristan walked inside looking angry. I sighed and followed him.
"Tristan," I said and he turned to me.
"What the hell Y/N?" Tristan asked me.
"He was just dropping off food," I told him.
"Ohh, and what's this? I know you eat fast, but this is a lot of food to put away Y/N," Tristan told me.
"Okay, fine, he had a little food," I told him.
"Why would you do that?!" Tristan yelled.
"It just happened, okay?" I told him.
"That doesn't just happen!!" Tristan yelled.
"Stop yelling at me!" I said rubbing my head.
I started to walk away.
"You can't walk away from your problems Y/N!" I heard Tristan yell.
I ran outside. I ran and leaned against tnt gazebo. I started crying. I heard someone walk to me. I turned and saw Jess.
"Hi," He said walking closer to me.
"Hi," I said wiping my eyes.
"I'm sorry," He told me.
"I just don't like being in a fight with Tristan," I told him.
"I'm sorry about that," He told me.
He leaned over and his thumb wiped my tears. I wanted so badly to just lean up and kiss him. But I have a boyfriend.
"I should go.." I wispered.
"Okay," He told me.
I smiled before walking home.
About two weeks later~~
I was reading The Outsiders. But I wasn't really reading it, I was reading Jess's notes that he had written in it. I got up and grabbed the phone and brought it to my room. I held it for a minute, before I called Jess.
"Hello?" Jess asked.
"Hi," I said.
"Hi, why'd you call?" He asked me.
"I don't know," I told him.
" I'm glad you called," He told me. I smiled.
"Yeah?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while," He told me.
"I didn't mean to avoid you, I just.. didn't want another fight with Tristan," I told him.
"You solved that, I'm assuming?" He asked me.
"Um, yeah, everything's good," I told him.
"Well, I should go," He told me.
"Okay, bye," I told him.
"Bye Y/N," He said.
I hung up. Mom walked in.
"Who were you talking to?" Mom asked.
I stood up and went to go put the phone away.
"Y/N, who was it?" Mom asked a little more serious.
"Um, Jess.." I told her.
"You were calling Jess?" She asked me.
"Yeah, I know. And I saw him two weeks ago. And maybe I have a medical condition or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know," I told her.
"Now, nobody wants to say this any less then I do.. but maybe you don't have a medical condition, or maybe you don't have a medical problem, maybe, hon, you are falling for Jess," Mom told me.
"What? No.." I told her.
I ran back to my room. I leaned against the door and closed my eyes.
