Trying to contain my laughter, I hid in my closet from Jack. He's been searching for me for the last thirty minutes (well he said so in the text messages) because he was salty about how I lyric pranked him.

I really need to do this more often.

As I sat in there, my phone in Wyatt's hoodie pocket, I let myself think. It was funny how although I've been getting a fair amount of hate on social media, and from Ellie I'm smiling like this. I keep talking to Jack, although I know Ellie isn't good news. There was that one fan of Jack's that really did like the thought of us being together though, even going as far as making a fan account for us.

Isn't that amazing?

Well, not the hating of course. But someone liking the idea of us together.

Wait, do I like Jack? I mean, he's only been here for two days, and I'm sitting in the closet thinking about him when I could talk about it to Sophia or Valerie, and I could easily go through and read the texts from the lyric prank and it seemed as if he kind of liked me back?

I know, I liked him before but I kept telling myself to stop afterward. Are my feelings back?

Ugh, feelings are so confusing.

Hearing my bedroom door open, I clamped my hand over my mouth and contained the slight laughter that bubbled up from him just now deciding to look in my bedroom when that was probably the first place he should have looked.

"Collie?" I heard him ask, and couldn't help but smile as I imagined him looking in crazy places such as under my bed or behind my window curtains. "It's just meeee." He cooed, and I rolled my eyes.

As if I was going to give away my secret hiding place for that.

Sitting here, I could only imagine all of the pranks and stuff I would put Jack through if we were dating. I would probably lyric prank him most of the time, do the dumbest things that shouldn't prank him but he'd fall for it anyway because it's me.

Suddenly, I felt sad. That was never going to happen. Jack didn't like me like that. We weren't going to be some cute couple, even if we were I was going to be hated for it, especially since Ellie still has feelings for him.

"I have chicken nuggets," He said, and my eyes widened. Of course he'd go out and buy chicken nuggets, that's why it took him so long to find me!

Climbing out of the closet, I fell to the ground but quickly pulled myself up and grabbed the bag out of Jack's hands.

"Thank you babyyyy." I joked, ruffling his hair as I sat on my bed to eat the food.

He looked between me and the closet, before shrugging and making his way over to me and sitting down.

"Baby? I like it." He said, stealing a chicken nugget from me.

"Wowza." I commented, avoiding eye contact as I ate.

"So about the prank you pulled," He said.

"What about it?" I asked, acting casual.

"I kind of said some things in there." Jack added, wiping his hands on his jeans and leaning his back against the headboard.

"Oh yeah, you did." I awkwardly said. Putting my food down, I grabbed a napkin and wiped my hands off. It was awkward, and that made me slightly lose my appetite.

"Yeah, you know I meant all of it, right?" He asked, and I saw him looking at me from the corner of my eye.

"Well I mean, I would hope you were really confused the entire time." I laughed lightly, looking at him. He shook his head, sitting up straight.

"No, like about making you happy. And when you used the lyrics of you being my fire and one desire or whatever, I said only if you want to be. Ellie's really out of the picture and just all of that."

"Oh, all of that." I mumbled, looking away.

"Yeah. Can I tell you something?" He asked.

"Sure." I mumbled, feeling nervous.

"I actually really like you. And I know that I'm lame, and it's hard considering I'm famous, and there's Ellie and the fans that are hateful, but I know you. I know you focus on the good and positive things and stuff like that." Jack rambled, and I felt my heart swell.

I do like Jack.

I didn't say anything, not knowing what to say. There was no way I was going to ruin this moment, especially with him.

"You don't like me back do you? Oh God, I totally just ruined a friends-"

"Jack-"

"Ship and it sucks because we were really-"

"Jack."

"Sucks because you're one of my closest friends and oh my God Wyatt-"

"Babe."

"Is going to kill me holy shit." Jack finally stopped. "Wait, you called me babe." Realization went over his face that I was talking to him, and he finally got quiet.

"I like you too." I said, my face heating up. "A lot. Actually."

"Wait really? This isn't another prank is it? Is Finn going to come out and yell 'HA YOU LIL BITCH' or something?" Jack asked, and I laughed as I slapped him on the shoulder.

"No, I'm not that mean."

"Okay, good. Then I could do this." He said, and before I could ask what he gently pressed his lips to mine.
