Chapter Five - I Can't Like Both

ALI'S POV

"Mitch..." I said quietly, rolling the name over my tongue, where do I know him from? Not only does face look familiar but his name too? 

I couldn't help but ask in frustration, "Oh my god! Where do I know you from?!" to him.

Mitch's incredibly gorgeous smile widened and I saw him chuckle slightly. "Ever heard of Bajan Canadian?" he said, adjusting the grips on his binder.

My eyes widened, and I tried to keep my inner fangirl in. "Oh my god! That's who! I'm a huge fan," I said camly, while flashing a smile, then realizing that he most likely noticed my scars on my face.

I immediately touched them tentatively and I saw Mitch's face turn serious.

"Where did you get those?" Mitch more demanded than asked.

"Oh, umm... I uh..." I stuttered, trying to think of an excuse.

After a few seconds of awkwardly standing there, I just tried to turn and walk away. When I had turned my back and took the first pace, I felt strong arms turn me around and saw a very serious looking Mitch staring straight at me, and I couldn't help but blush slightly.

I didn't really realize how beautiful his eyes were, but I guess I couldn't have, since pixels on a laptop don't really let you see things too clearly.

I stood there for what might have been seconds are hours, and I looked away and shook out of his grasp.

"Where?!" he yelled loudly.

"I-- I just.. Why do you care?!" I screamed, tears starting to form in my eyes.

"Come with me," he said sternly, taking me by the wrist and dragging me to his car.

JORDAN'S POV

Why hasn't Ali replied? I sent that message almost six hours ago... It's already 6... am I being too clingy? She must be hanging out with her boyfriend. I thought, wanting to break out into a fit.

I was pacing the apartment I had rented out and stopped in my tracks.

Why was I acting like this? I mean I just met her. I mean I established that I like her but I can't even possibly love her--  I thought when I was interrupted by the sound of a door slam in the next apartment next to mine.

I heard what sounded like a girl's voice crying and a man comforting her, both sounding really familiar.

I was very curious, so I ended up knocking on the neighbor's door, and I heard what sounded like a muffled, "sit down on the couch, one second."

Shuffles of feet approached the door and the door swung wide open.

"Jordan?" the voice said, bringing me in for a hug.

"Mitch! I haven't seen you in forever! Why are you in Miami?" I asked, breaking away from the guy hug a few moments later.

"I could ask you the same thing, don't you live in California?" he asked, confused.

"Ya, decided to move, thought Miami was a pretty cool place," he said.

I heard sniffles and hiccups coming from the inside of his apartment, that looked almost identical to mine.

"Who's the lady?" I asked quietly, gesturing if I should come in or leave.

"You can come in, umm... her name is Ali and I just met her but I ran into her--" Mitch started but I interrupter him when I walked around the corner.

"Ali?" I said, seeing the familiar blond her turn. 

Wait... Mitch is Ali's boyfriend? No... I thought, but I quickly pushed the thought away, Ali was crying and I was thinking about this? I don't deserve her.

She was still beautiful, even when her eyes were puffy and there were scars all over her face...

Wait... scars? I thought? Oh no...

I saw Ali blush madly, and I saw her tear up and start crying again as she turned away.

"Ali!" I yelled, my voice cracking in empathy. I ran up to her and hugged her.

When she didn't turn around, I said quietly, "Ali Jane Keele..."

I saw her turn her head, and she stopped crying. But I saw her tears well up again, and she started bawling, and I pulled her head towards my chest and let her cry all over my shirt.

After what might've been too short or too long, she took her head out from my chest and I said softly, "Why are you crying? And what about those scars on your face?"

She smiled weakly. "Well..."

MITCH'S POV (holy poop i know)

I don't know why but I felt my stomach churn and my face burn in anger as I saw Ali's head snuggle into Jordan's chest perfectly.

Then it clicked perfectly.

Jordan must be Ali's boyfriend! No wonder he knows her. I thought, more anger building up inside of me.

That should've been me instead of you, Jordan... I thought angrily. I stopped in my thoughts and immediately questioned why I was thinking this.

Jealousy? No... I just met her! But she is beautiful and is super nice...

ALI'S POV

I heard Mitch and someone else talk by the doorway, and I blocked out their sound.

I told Mitch everything, starting from my mother's death all the way to what the girl's at school called me today.

Except I skipped out the part of meeting Jordan, where my heart stopped in happiness twice because of him.

I couldn't help but let out a sniffle and a hiccup, and I heard the man say softly, "Who's the lady?" I smiled at how much of a gentleman he sounded like.

Mitch said something else, but the only thing I could process was hearing someone so familiar saying my name quietly. "Ali?"

I turned around and saw Jordan Maron standing there, as handsome as ever.

The rest of the events went past like a blur, and the next thing I knew, just like when I met him for the first time, I found myself snuggled deep in his chest.

I got this feeling whenever I'm around Mitch, a warm happy feeling... but when I'm around Jordan, I feel safe and bubbly, and I have this weird churning sensation deep inside me.

But I can't like both at once...
