Small-Town

Day 2: Christmas Eve

Jacobs POV

"Do you really have to go?" I ask. 

"Yeah. My uncle is surprise visiting so I have to head home" Vanessa explains. 

I mentally curse. 

Nobody else on the rest of the trip wants me here and now the only one who likes me is leaving. 

Great. 

"I'll see you when you get home" Vanessa says before pulling me into a kiss. 

"Vanessa! It's time to go!" Aspen shouts. 

I grab Vanessas other suitcase and carry it downstairs and out to the car for her. 

Aspen and her drive off. 

As I start walking back inside I hear laughs. 

"Don't even Sam, your wipe out was way funnier then mine" 

Claire. 

 I turn around to see Zach, Emmet, Kayla, Sam, and Claire coming back from a day of snowboarding. 

Sam and Claire were probably one of the worst couples I've ever seen. 

But at the same time...They are better then Claire and I. 

They all freeze when they see me. 

Claire looks at the ground biting her bottom lip. 

I knew that she bites her lip only when she's nervous. 

But what's she nervous about?

Sam grabs her hand and they walk inside. 

When they pass me Sam gives me a cold glare. 

"Hey Jacob..." Zach says. 

"Hey..." I sigh. 

"We just wanted to say that we don't hate you" Emmet admits. 

"You two might. But I sure as hell do" Kayla says "You hurt my best friend, She cried for days! And if she doesn't like you...then I don't either! Besides, I think her and Sam make a great couple, Hashtag Clam for life" 

"Okay ow!" Emmet yells. 

"Emmet!" Zach snaps. 

I look at Emmet with a confused look. 

"What?" I ask. 

"N-Nothing" Emmet stutters. 

"You're stuttering" 

"So?" 

"You only stutter when you're lying" 

"No I-I Don't" 

"Tell. me" 

"Claire and Sam are fake dating just to make you jealous when really Sam and I are dating" Emmet admits. 

I freeze. 

They're fake dating... 

They're fake dating!

"Wait you're gay?" I ask. 

"Yeah" Emmet mumbles. 

I smile "Cool" 

"You can't tell Claire I told you though, she'll kill me, worse, Sam will kill me!" Emmet states. 

"Yeah, Emmet has a point" Zach explains. 

"Don't worry, I'm not going to say anything, but I sure as hell am going to try and break them" I smirk. 

"Oh no...." Kayla mumbles. 

We all walk inside to be greeted with Carlos starting to decorate the tree while Sam and Claire make hot coco. 

"Come help guys! Claire and Sam got the hot coco!" Carlos says. 

Zach, Kayla and Emmet run over to help Carlos and I say back in the kitchen. 

"Do you guys need help?" I ask. 

"No, we're fine" Sam states. 

"Oh okay" I shrug. 

I make my way to the living room and sit on the couch. 

It's payback time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We all were currently sitting in the living room listening to Zach play the guitar and sing. 

Sam had his arm around Claire, which made my blood boil. 

But I can't even imagine how Emmet feels. 

Aspen and Carlos call in early and head to their room. 

It's silent in the room until I finally speak up. 

"You know...Sam, Claire, I've never seen you two kiss before" I smirk. 

Their faces go white.

"Kiss?" Sam asks, glancing over at Emmet. 

"Yeah. What you two have never kissed before?" I ask. 

"Um-" 

"Yeah. We've kissed plenty of times" Sam says, standing up. 

Claire stands up and looks at Sam with confused eyes. 

Then the 3 words escape my mouth. 

"Okay, then kiss" 

Claire looks at me with wide eyes "I uhm-" 

Sam cuts Claire off. 

He kisses her. 

Sam and Claire are kissing. 

In front of Kayla. 

In front of Zach. 

In front of Emmet...

And in front of me. 

It feels like the walls are closing in. 

Am I jealous?

That's a fun question...Especially since I know that the answer is yes.
