Heyyy, i'm so sorry for slacking off. I'll try to get back on track soon.
Also just a reminder, this is FANFICTION. Most of the things are fake. Like example this version of Johnnies mom. Johnnies mom is a great person irl, so just please remember that!
Johnnie POV
Warm and gentle, but strong arms were on my shoulders.
"Johnnie" someone whispered.
"Johnnie, wake up. Come on, wake up Johnnie."
Opening my eyes slowly, there's Jake looking down on me. So close, that i could feel his breath on my skin and if i could lean in just a little bit...
Jake blinked and stepped away. He scratched his left cheek, but you could see the blush forming under it.
Looking away quickly, i clear my throat and ask with a scratchy voice.
"What is it, Jake?"
He looked back, red blush still on his face.
"Well, um... i just made you some toast, and maybe, we could..go to Target a bit earlier? Remember? You need hairdye, as you said. So, i thought, maybe we could go a bit earlier, so there wont be so much people there."
Jake fidgets with his shirt.
"Yeah, sure. Why not. Um, by the way, what time is it?"
"Oh it's 11.23 am."
" 'Kay thanks"
"No problem, don't fall asleep again, okay?" Jake fake mocks me with his country accent and smiles, his dimples showing.
And i couldn't help but find it adorable.
"Yeah, yeah. Now get out!"
Jake smiles and goes to get ready.
_._._._._
"This is the best Target ever, i'm telling you!" Jake told me as we made it inside.
I try to search for the hair section, when i hear a high pitched yell: "Jake!"
I turn around to the voice and see Jake stopping behind me and a short black haired woman running to us.
Standing there, confused and not sure what to do, i see the woman hugging Jake tightly and i feel a slight stinging in my stomach.
'Stop, Johnnie. They're propably friends. And so what if they date? Of course it would've been polite to tell me also but- oh just stop! Goddamn it.' I think.
"Oh," the woman says.
"Jake, who is that?"
Jake looks at me and smiles.
"Oh, that's my best friend, Johnnie. I haven't seen you in so long Tara! How are you?"
Tara. Okay, so that's her name.
But i couldn't help but feel something bubbling in my chest as Jake called me his best friend.
I've never had friends before, so still to this day i just can't really understand what i've done to deserve Jake in my life.
He's perfect. He's got everything. Looks, personality, voice- as a friend, of course! Yeah.
The short woman, Tara, walks to me, puts her hand out and smiles warmly.
"Hi, i'm Tara" she pauses for a second.
"Jakes ex-girlfriend."
I was fucking right, well...atleast they're not dating now. I mentally shrug before shaking Taras hand with my shaky one.
"Nice to meet you, i'm Johnnie."
Feeling the anxiety rising, i smile tightly before turning around and looking for the hairdye, trying to find a distraction.
I keep hearing her talking to Jake, and just by Jakes voice i can tell that he's smiling.
She's pretty, she seems sweet, of course Jake would date him.
Oh my fucking god, she's done nothing wrong! I really need to stop being fucking jealous.
Where is this even coming from?
I pick up a box of black hairdye and walk to Jake. Jake is still catching up to Tara, and i really don't want to interfere.
Jake seems to notice, being the perfect human being he is, he puts an arm around me, looks down at me and smiles before looking back at Tara and saying:
"I'm so sorry Tara, but we need to get going right now. This little emo needs to dye his hair."
Tara and Jake chuckle and Jake ruffles his warm fingers through my hair.
I look at him and for just a moment, the whole world seemed to fade away, Jake being the only sight to see.
After a couple of seconds, i look back at Tara, who was staring at Jakes arm around me with a sparkle in her eyes.
She smirks at Jake and he rolled his eyes but smiled.
What's happening?
Since i couldn't undertsand what just happened, i just start gently walking with Jake. Tara and Jake waved at each other and Tara went the other way.
The silence seemed to suffocate me, so i decided to break it.
"Why didn't you tell me that you have an ex-girlfriend?"
Jakes smile dropped slowly.
"Well, i didn't think it was an important thing to mention. I'm sorry-"
"No, you're right. My bad." I interrupt his apology.
Without me seeing, Jake looks at me with sadness in his eyes.
We make it to the self-pay area and i start to pay, when Jake grabs the hairdye from behind me.
"Jake? Come on give it back." Jake takes out his card.
"No, i'm paying for this." I try to snatch the box away from him but he raises it too high so i couldn't reach it.
That fucker.
I stop trying to jump, and to Jakes huge triumph, he got to pay.
When we walked out of the stoor i could've sworn i saw Tara on the other side of the shop, looking at us with a huge grin.
Weird?
