You were going to go to Jacob's house and hang out! It wouldn't be just any kind of day, however. This time you were going to come clean and confess to him how you felt about him. Your lips dropped in nervousness as the gentle hug of Claire made you feel a bit better about the situation. "It's alright, Jamie. Just tell him how you feel." You looked down and smile, kneeling down to hug Claire back as her friends would all go "Awwww" at the sight of you two. "Thanks, kiddo. I should get going. Don't story up too late." You warned before hurrying downstairs and then jumping into your car.
The drive over to Jacob's wasn't long. It was a good twenty minute drive of listening to that station you had always loved that played heavy metal. As you drove, you couldn't stop thinking about what he would say to you. Would he get the rest of the football team to have you, maybe tell you to get lost, call you a freak like everyone else.

We always go to mine anyway."
He continued to smile before going to the living room and sitting on the couch. You joined him soon after, and began watching television, laughing at jokes, and sharing some stories. An hour into your visit, you had worked up e ough courage to try. "H-Hey Jake." You asked as he looked over. "Yeah?"
"I, uh, think you're really cool." Your heart was beating as fast as it had ever beaten before. "We've been cool for forever, and even after all of this...I just wanted to say..." Your eyes gazed into his longingly, your lips uttering the words, "I love you." He would look at you for a while, almost as if debating what he would say before he then...
