Why me?

Jakes POV
I feel her smile in my shirt

E- everyone is downstairs watching a Christmas movie do-
J- oh so I can do this

I pick her up and wrap her legs around me. I push her in the wall and connect my lips with hers. She pulls back

E- *giggles* stop

She puts her head on my shoulder after a couple minutes she gets sown and grabs my hand. She brings me downstairs and we sit in the love sac since there's no room on the couch. They start the movie and home alone plays. Erika puts her head on my chest and I grab her hand playing with her hand

1 hour later

I look over at erika then she looks at me. We both smile and she kisses my cheek.

Whispers
E- Archie's fine right
J- yea he will for tonight but like I kinda have to go back
E- we have to go back
J- *smiles* we have to go back

We finish the movie and everyone is asleep on the couch. I look over to erika and she gets up coming upstairs with me. We get into her room and Erika changes. I take my shirt off and we both lay down

E- Jake?
J- yes
E- how do you feel about us not moving into your place and moving into the little house at the back
J- sure
E- really?!
J- I kinda changed my mind a long time ago that we shouldn't move into my apartment.

She rolls on top of me and digs her head in my neck

Whispers
E- I love you
J- I love you too

She plays with my hair and then after a bit she stops so that means she's asleep. I shut my eyes and end up falling asleep

Morning

I feel movement on the bed and Erika lays beside me. I rub my eyes and look down at erika. She looks up at me and I wrap my arms around her

J- morning
E- morning
J- you sleep?
E- yeah
J- good

I look over to the clock and it's 9:30.

J- I think imma head home but like you stay here with everyone
E- take my keys
J- I'll walk
E- in the cold and the snow
J- why not
E- just take my car and bring Archie here
J- I'm not gonna do that
E- bring his food and stuff your gonna be here for two months anyway. He's actually really good
J- we will see
E- please I really want to see him

I get up and get changed and I go to leave Erika's room

E- my keys are on the table
J- yup

I head downstairs and see everyone in the living room after grabbing Erika's keys

J- you guys can go up Erika's awake

The girls get up and head upstairs

K- where are you going
J- home
K- are you coming back
J- yeah
K- I'm coming
An- me too

Peter still sits on the couch

J- peter?
P- *smiles* okay fine

Everyone heads out but peter

P- I didn't mean what I said yesterday like I didn't mean to make you mad
J- it's good
P- you sure
J- yeah I kinda have to like you
P- shut up Paul

We both smile and head out. I open the car and we all get in. We head to my place and head in after I parked. I open my door and Archie comes running. We all walk in and Archie was his tail and starts jumping on everyone.

J- come on buddy we are going to see Erika

He follows me to my room where I take out an extra bag. The boys sit on the couch And I go into the kitchen. I grab his extra bowls and grab his bag of food. I grab a ball and a toy and put it in the bag. I put my backpack on and I stand at the door I grab his leash and put it in my pocket.

J- guys

They all come to the door and file out the door. Archie runs out and I pick his food up and lock the door. We walk up to the elevator and Archie sits waiting.

P- here

Peter takes the bag of food

J- I got it
P- just get in the elevator

We walk in and I pick Archie up. We get down to the floor. We all head to the car in the snow. We get in and I pass kade and Anthony in the back Archie. I drive to Erika's. Soon we get there and we all get out heading inside. We get in and kade puts Archie down. He looks around and walks to my side. I take my stuff off and then walk in. We head into the kitchen where we hear the girls. Archie sees Erika standing near the stove and he runs to her. She bends down and picks him up

E- hey buddy
E- I missed you

He barks and then he calms down in her arms. He just chills in her arms and I go and stand beside her.

R- thats the dog from the park
S- I have one question. We why haven't we met before you came to our school. Who knows you could have killed erika and we would have known it was you
M- dont act like we didn't know that erika had a boyfriend and like we haven't seen pictures of him before because you go upstairs and all the picture frames are jake there's probably one of us
E- not true

They all smile at each as they fight but not in A serious manner

S- gonna answer the question or not
E- I really don't know I just wanted to keep it to myself but like now it's not. Everyone at school stays away they don't try to hook up with me. *Sighs* I just don't know
