An Eventful Day

Jack's POV

Well, the movie was good. I had seen Titanic many times but seeing it with a girl beside you who also likes you is a bit different. Well it was cute to watch a movie with Anna because her expression was constantly changing with the scenes(I was not staring at her, just some little peeks ;)

"So, what do we do now?" Katie asked after the movie.

"Its pizza time" Leo yelled enthusiastically and took out his phone to order pizzas(Because 1 was not enough as we had Dan).

After like 20 minutes, our pizzas arrived and we ate. Dan was the most hungry by the looks but he was the one who finished most of the popcorns.

"Hey, can we go to our rooms" Harry said and Leo nodded. He and Dan went towards the boy's room. then Selena said goodnight and went to the girl's room.

"Goodnight Leo" Katie said and Anna pouted.

"Wow forget about your other friends" Anna said and Katie came and hugged her.

"Night" Leo said and he went towards the boy's room.

I got up too and stood beside Anna.

"Good night" I said and she smiled.

"Good night" She said and before she left, she came close to me and kissed my cheek. It is officially my best day ever.

I went to the boy's room and slammed on my bed. I remembered when she kissed me. Her lips were soft and her hair smelled like lemon. I fell asleep thinking about her.....

I woke up and looked at my phone 6:30am. I got up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I went towards the living room and saw Anna on the couch with her phone.

"Good morning" I said and she looked up quickly. She saw me and smiled.

"Hmm good morning, you got up early" She smirked.

"Hey, I do get up early" I protested and she smiled.

"Just kidding" She said. I smiled and sat down beside her.

"Umm I want to ask you something" I said and she looked up to me.

"You know we are best friends and yesterday what we did, I don't think friends do that" I said I could feel my face red. She was blushing and her face was pink.

"Yes friends don't do that" She said and she was trying to hide her smile.

"So are we still best friends or " I said and I saw her smile fading. Why am I pushing this? Why am I being an idiot? I wanted to smack my head to the wall.

" I-I don't know" She said not looking to my eyes. I really needed to change the subject.

"Did your parents contact you?" I asked and her face dropped more. Wow Jack, choosing another touchy subject.

"No" She answered. I really needed to distract her mind and luckily Leo came for the save.

"Hey dude what are you doi-Oh" He saw Anna and looked at me with a huge smile.

"Oh hey Anna, you two busy?" Leo asked us.

"No, it's alright, let's wake up others" I said.

"They will kill us if we wake them up this early" Leo said.

"So what do we do now?" I asked him.

"Let's go to the park for a walk, I will go wake Katie up" Leo said.

"No, I am going to wake her up, you two get ready" Anna said and we went to freshen up. I wore a T-Shirt and sweatpant. I had come with extra clothes, so I don't have to borrow Leo's clothes.

"Everyone here?" Leo asked as we went to the living room. Anna and Katie were sitting on the couch and got up as we went outside. We went to the park and it was nice. Many people were in the park and we began exploring it. It was my first time in this park as it was very far away from my home as Leo literally lives on the other side of the city. The environment was peaceful and the air was fresh. Anna was looking less worried now and Leo was cracking jokes to Katie.

Me and Anna began discussing about school and we were heading back towards the exit. I spotted a familiar guy on a bench and he was the last person I ever wanted to see- Drake. We all saw him and I looked towards Anna. Her face was full of hurt and betrayal and we went the other way to avoid seeing him. Well he saw us. He hurried towards us from the bench where a girl was sitting. Another girl.

"Hey Anna, what are you doing here?" He asked Anna literally ignoring all of us. How did he have the guts to talk to her after he dumped her. Anna didn't answer him and she held my hand.

"Hey, I am Jack, You remember me?" I asked him offering a handshake. I wanted to keep his mind off Anna.

"Ya right, you are her best friend right" He asked.

"Well it's more than that now" I said with a smile. He looked a bit angry.

"Boyfriend?" He asked me.

"It's less than that" I said and he looked confused. He then changed his focus to Katie.

"I have seen you before" He asked Katie and she nodded. Leo was not at all happy with Drake talking to her.

"Hi, I am Drake, captain of the football team" He said and winked at her. Leo was burning up with anger.

"Hi, I am Leo, boyfriend of Katie" Leo said keeping his anger low.

"Really, you are the boyfriend of this beautiful girl, you can do better Katie" He said and steam was coming out of Leo's ears. He was ready to punch Drake to the face. The problem was that Drake was the strongest guy in the whole school. He was taller than me and Leo and he had biceps or triceps I can only imagine. So picking a fight with him will only result in us getting horribly beaten and becoming a joke of the school. But I had to get us out of there before we all got harassed.

"I see you are on a date, why are wasting time with us?" I asked him and he got offended.

"Well she is too shy is not really my type" He paused and looked at Anna " I am sorry for what happened in the match, would you go out again maybe today?" He said with a smile. The guts of this guy. I am literally standing beside her he is asking her out in front of me.

"No, will you leave us alone?" Anna said at last. Drake was not convinced by her.

"If you think this loser is better than me,then think again. You will regret your choice later" He said and went towards his date. We went towards the exit.

Anna's POV

Well, this day was not getting any better. First our encounter with Drake. He asked me out in front of Jack. When I looked at Jack, he was literally burning with anger. I rejected his offer and we went towards Leo's house. Everybody was awake by the time we got to his home. Everyone was packing their bags to go home. I had already packed my bag earlier and I and Jack went towards his house. My parents still didn't contact me and I was getting worried. Did they abandon me? I wanted to cry but Jack's presence kept me strong. He said that his mom would contact my parents today. I don't know if it would be good if they find out that I was living in Jack's house. My mom hated Jack because I liked him and my mom hates everything I like. She just wants to make me a puppet.

"So umm you okay?" I asked Jack as we reached his house.

"Yeah, I am ok, why are you asking?" He replied looking at his feet.

"Katie told me that Leo was very angry at Drake and I thought you might also be" I said. He looked at me with a lopsided smile.

"No, I am not angry. Drake is just that kind of a guy who invites people to fight with him. I don't want to fall for his trap" He said and he was right. I have seen Drake fighting with other students and he always won. So, nobody really dares to oppose him or even complain against him.

We went inside his house and I saw my mother talking with Jack's mom. I froze at the sight of my mom's face. Her face had tear marks and her face was full of hurt. Jack's mom was trying to comfort her and they were talking silently. I looked at Jack and he nodded.

"Mom, we are home" Jack said. My mom looked at him and then at me. She stood up and I thought she was going to slap me but she did something I never expected. She came towards me and hugged me. She had never hugged me before but I liked her motherly hug. She came apart and kissed my cheek and again hugged me.

"I am sorry Anna, please don't leave the house again" She said crying. I have never seen her crying but me leaving the house had seriously affected her.

"Ok mom, I am sorry too" I said. She wiped her tears and she looked at Jack but she said nothing.

"Mom, I promise to never leave the house but you need to give me some freedom" I said .

"Yes Anna, I was selfish to chain you up. Please forgive me" My mom said.

"Mom, can I stay in this house till the evening, then I will come home" I asked and she nodded.

Me and Jack went up to his bedroom and sat down. I was feeling happy that my mom finally gave me my freedom but I was sad too. Now that I will return home, I will see Jack less. I think he was thinking the same because he was sad too.

"So, you will return home today" He said with a smile.

"Yes, I think being away from home really affected my mom. I have never seen her cry or even speak softly before" I said and he nodded.

"Hey don't be upset, we will see each other at school and I will visit you" I said and he smiled. He came close to me and kissed me. I put my hands around his neck and kissed him back. After a while we broke apart, gasping for air.I could literally hear his heart thumping against his chest. His face was red and he was staring at my eyes. Well, I was staring at his eyes too. Well I won the staring contest (though it was not a contest). We started discussing our studies and school afterward.

It was nearly evening and we were sitting on the couch watching a reality show. We were holding hands and I didn't mind. He was cute and a bit shy at first when we first met. But now he was comfortable around me and I liked it.

There was a knock on the door and Jack went to open it. Outside stood a girl with red-brownish hair and she was our age. She smiled at Jack which I didn't like.

"Hello Jack, you remember me?"
