The Boy Next Door

The End

I open my eyes to the bright sun shine filtering through my sliding glass doors. I feel a strong arm wrapped around my waist and got breath on my ear. Then the memories of last night flood back into my mind.

Jared and I had talked and cuddled till we fell asleep last night. What time is it? I look to my bed stand at the clock.

7:32

"Oh my god," I breathe out. "Jared get up, its 7:30. we got to go to school at 8."

"Huh? What?" He mutters. I pry his arm off me and leap out of bed.

"Look at the bloody time!" I yell. He opens his eyes and looks.

"Oh God." He says. He gets up and rushes out of my room and into his. I quickly change out of yesterday's clothes and into a light blue dress.

I rush to the bathroom and comb out my knotted hair and put on some light mascara. My phone starts ringing and I quickly pick up.

"Hey," I say.

"I'll be outside in your driveway waiting for you," Jared's deep voice says.

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." I say, smiling.

"Love you," he says. I smile even brighter.

"And I love hearing you say that," I say and hang up. I grab my school bag and head downstairs and out the door.

"What's the beauty of my life doing here?" Jared whispers in my ear while he rests his head on my shoulder and snakes his arms around my waist. I shiver at his touch.

"Shouldn't you be in my bed cuddling with me?" He starts to sway us and my heart goes into overdrive.

"You drove me here remember?" I say, breathlessly. He chuckles a little and butterflies erupt in my stomach at the noise.

"Yeah, but I wasn't thinking strait. I should have picked you up over my shoulder and laid you down on my bed to do this." He moves my hair out of the way and then lightly drags his lips over my ear. Then he kisses right under my jaw line, on my sweet spot. I lean into his body, my knees growing weak.

"Jared, we're in school remember?" I whisper.

"I don't care," he whispers back. I laugh and close my locker, which is where we've been standing for the past few minutes.

"Well look who's getting comfy in the hallway," Lydia says, surprising us. I turn to my friends as they walk up, breaking out of Jared's grasp.

"Hey guys," I say.

"I see you've forgiven each other and are now closer than ever," Zamora adds as Jared hooks his arm around my waist.

"Something like that," Jared smirks.

"Hey, thanks guys for everything you did last night. It means a lot to us," I tell all of them. It did do a lot for me and Jared, considering now we have complete trust in each other and we're back together.

"Eh, it was no problem," Allison shrugs. Everyone laughs and I realize that I have everything I've ever wanted right in front of me. Three loving friends and a perfect boyfriend that loves me. Well I guess almost everything.

A red shirt catches my eye behind my friends. Jayden is looking my way with a longing face.

"Hey guys, I'll be right back," I say to friends and head over to him. "Hey," I say as soon as I'm close enough for him to hear.

"Hey," he says. A small smile spreads across his face. "I've been meaning to talk to you."

"What is it?" I ask.
