The End

| Jack |

I'm kissing my best friend. We've made out before, but this feels different. This isn't fuelled by alcohol, this isn't some dare at a party. I'm kissing her because I'm into her.

"You're thinking too much." Cody breathes out as she pulls away from me, trying to regulate her breathing.

"Sorry." I mumble pathetically, before pulling her back in again.

I don't expect it to go anywhere, I just wanted to show her how much I like her, but I'm left shocked when Cody walks me backwards until the back of my knees hit the bed and I tumble down, with my best friend on top of me. I watch in admiration as she straddles my waist and grins at me, her hair falling down around her face, and my own as she leans back over me to kiss me.

"Oh My God!" We hear a loud voice screech and we pull apart, looking for danger when we spot a wild Kelley, grinning like a madman, and Alex who looks a mixture of angry and confused. "I fucking knew it! Hope! Hope!" Kelley continues to yell as she runs out of the room, looking for my mom as Cody stands from the bed and I follow suit.

"You...and you?" Alex asks, trying to piece everything together. She's also obviously trying to calm herself. "Since when?" Cody glances at me, and I shrug.

"Can we talk about this later, mom?" I release the breath I didn't notice I was holding when Alex nods slowly.

"Tell her I'm not lying!" Kelley groans as she pulls Hope into the room by her arm.

"Not now, worms." Alex states coldly before walking away.

"Uh oh. Mama Morgs is angry." I glare at my 'other mother', who throws her hands up in mock surrender. "Just sayin'. But why? You two would be so cute. Where's Kling and Pinoe, I need a ship name, co-captains, A WEDDING PLANNER!" My eyes widen as she seriously jumps the gun with my relationship with Cody, who just laughs it off. But I know my best friend, I know her awkward laugh which basically means 'get me the fuck outta here'.

"Can you all...you know...get out?" Hope smiles and nods, grabbing Kelley by her arm this time and exiting the room. I turn to Cody, "I know you're leaving, and kissing you was...stupid but just ignore Kelley. I know you just ended things with Kristie, and you need time-"

"Jack?" She cuts me off.

"Yeah?"

"Shut up." My brow furrows when she laughs before wrapping her arms around my neck, and kissing me again. Fireworks go off inside my stomach as I wrap my own arms around her waist, pulling her in for a hug. "I know it's not ideal, with me leaving, but we'll figure this out, okay?"

I don't answer, I just kiss her neck and squeeze her in my arms, smiling when I hear her sigh in content.

"Why are you so sour, Alex? You know Jack, she's good for Cody."

"I know-"

"Then why the hell did you react like that?" I cut her off, genuinely hoping that she doesn't have any kind of issues with Jack because I want the girl to be happy. She struggled after Ellie, and I know it was her fault for how it ended.

"Cody only broke up with Kristie a few days ago and we all know what happened with Jack's last relationship."

"That's not fair." I tell her, trying to contain my annoyance before it turns to anger, "Jack owned up to her mistake, and we both know she wouldn't do that to Cody, she loves her-"

"What?" She cuts me off now, and I think over what I said.

"I didn't mean she's in love with her, but we both know there's some kind of love there. She looks at Cody like she's the most precious thing in the world."
