(december 19th)

i walked into ways house and he started laughing as soon as he saw me.

"what?"

"i figured you would throw on a dress or look decent for him." he laughed "look at you, ripped jeans and a chapel hill soccer shirt, i mean at least you're not in shorts."

"oh my gosh, shut up." i jokingly pushed him.

"were literally just eating dinner tonight, nothing fancy."

"i have to go get jack & pick up the food now."

"can i go with you to pick him up?" i asked "please way?"

"no, i want to meet him first." he said.

why must he be so protective of me?

"ugh, you're so rude to me." i complained.

"i have to go." he said.

i flipped him off and he did it back.

i waited on couch and scrolled twitter.

i swear time is passing so slowly.

jack: waylyns got me, see you soon

no because now i want to back out.

now im panicking.

i shouldn't have messaged jack back.

what if trevor told jack about me and this is their plan to mess with and jacks going to cheat on me.

text to way from liv: i cant do this. im 3 seconds from dipping

way: lol were home

i bet i can hop the back fence and make a run for it.

i heard the front door open and they're laughter.

well if jack & i dont work out, jack & way can be best friends.

i stood up and walked to the entryway as jack came around the corner and our eyes met.

"hi livlyn parker." he smiled.

way left us and walked to the kitchen with our chipotle.

"hi jack hughes."

he pulled me in for a hug, "its nice to meet you livvy."

"im happy to see you jacky." i said back.

i ran my hand up and down his back before pulling away.

"look at you in your college merch." he eyed my shirt.

"thats her entire wardrobe." way called out.

"i bet yours in all devils stuff?" i joked.

"yeah."

his laugh is my favorite.

"speaking of the devils, could i get you to go to the game tomorrow night?"

i shook my head, "id love too but a have school and practice tomorrow evening and i dont feel like getting benched. some of us didn't immediately make the show." i joked.

"im just the lucky one." he said, his hand finding my hip.

"hey you two come eat." way said.

i led jack into the kitchen, "jack thats yours and liv this is yours." he pointed to our togo containers

"thanks way."

jack sat next to me at the table.

"you live here by yourself way?" jack asked.
