We both slowly pulled away, and I was slightly shocked. I wasn't expecting Jack to kiss me, and although I couldn't deny the fact that I liked it, it still seemed the slightest bit too soon to kiss considering we only met what seemed like days (even though in reality it was weeks) ago and there were still lots of things we needed to talk about. 

"Holy shit what's going on in here?" I jumped, turning to see Finn at the door, his face covered with the biggest smirk on his face as his eyes bounced from me to Jack. Of course it'd be his best friend to catch us kissing.

"Finn, it's not what it looks like, I swear-"

"Isn't that what they say in every teen romance movie?" Finn cut Jack off before he could finish, and Jack's mouth clamped shut, as he bit his lip harshly. 

"Finn, just listen, please don't go telling everyone," I said. "It's really nothing big."

"Telling everyone what?" Wyatt asked, coming into view with a chocolate chip cookie in his hands.

Wow, this really does seem like a teen romance movie. I let out a light sigh, almost giving Finn puppy dog eyes. He just sent a light smirk before turning to the curly headed boy.

"Oh, I walked in on Collette sharing her chicken nuggets with Jackie here was all."

"WHAT? FIRST OF ALL, YOU DON'T SHARE WITH ANYONE WHAT THE HECK?!" Wyatt dropped the cookie.

"Is this a ship I smell?" Finn let out a snort, before leaving the room.

"We've already gone through this, no!" Wyatt shouted, following Finn out of the room without even bothering to pick up the chocolate chip cookie. 

"He seems so against it." I mumbled, standing up from the bed and walking over to the doorway, picking up the cookie and throwing it in the trashcan.

"He could be joking, this is Wyatt we're talking about." Jack replied, standing up from my bed also.

"I don't know. I've known Wyatt all my life, and I know the difference between his joking voice and his serious voice. And granted, these things could've changed, but I don't know. He just seems so adamant on this 'ship' as everyone calls it, not happening." I replied, rubbing my arm.

Jack cleared the now cold chicken nuggets off of my bed, deciding that neither of us were in the mood to eat them so he just threw them away and made his way over to me.

"He's probably just being the protective best friend, he did mess up, and hurt you. Wyatt just probably doesn't want you hurt again." I just nodded, a slightly sick feeling in my stomach. For some reason, the thought of Wyatt being so against the idea of Jack and I being together made me feel sick, and I don't know why.

"We should get back to the rest of the group, who knows what Finn is going to say. He did catch us in the act, he can say anything and get away with it." Jack said, linking his fingers with mine as he pulled me along with him toward the movie room.

Once we got to the doorway he let go, and my fingertips felt cold. I didn't like that he just drifted away from me and went talking to Sophia and the others, acting as if he didn't just kiss me moments before. As if he didn't hold my hand as we walked to his room together. Sure, hand-holding isn't something huge in a relationship, especially to him, probably, but it is to me. Considering I take a lot of things to heart, I cherish every moment. Well, I try to, and I felt something I've never felt before. 

"You okay, rat?" Wyatt's voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" I asked, sending a smile his way.

"Because you suck at hiding your feelings, and you look really sad." He replied.

"It's nothing. I'll talk to you about it later," I said.

"Promise?" He asked.

"I promise." I smiled.

Well, now that I promised Wyatt that, I really have to talk to him about it...
