The next day school passed by slowly and was extremely uneventful, I was thankful when school was finally over. I rushed to my car eager to get home, I spent no time at all as I greeted my mother and excused myself to go over to Jasper's.

I ran up the hill, regretting my decision immediately as I stood at the top of the hill unable to breath. After finally catching my breathe, I made my way around the back of the old house and through the back door. I ran up the stairs and stopped in front of Jasper's room, taking a breather.

I knocked, I was expecting silence to follow once again but instead was greeted by Jasper opening the door.

"H-hey" He greeted, smiling slightly and moving away from the door so I could enter.

"Hey Jas" I set my bag down on the chair near the desk and took a seat at the bottom of the bed. It didn't take long for Jasper to follow suit and he came to sit in front of me at the top of the bed.

"How was school?"

"Boring and uneventful, thankfully" My response earned me a funny look from Jasper and I couldn't help but laugh.

"So, um, listen" I started awkwardly, scratching the back of my head.

"My parents, they uh want to meet you" I watching him carefully, expecting him to freak out but instead he stayed quiet and continued to stare at me as if waiting for me continue, so I did.

"They want me to invite you over for dinner, Friday night"

His face twisted into one of confused as he continued to stare at me.

"Why?"

I couldn't stop the sigh that left my mouth, this wasn't easy for me to say.

"Well, you see. You're kind of the first....friend....I've ever had..." I felt like such a loser, I couldn't even look at him so instead I looked down at the bed sheets, softly skimming my fingers over the soft material.

I felt his fingers touch my chin as he pulled my head up to look at him again.

Thadump

"Um, you're my first friend too" He spoke shyly but never once looked away.

"Really?" Wow, I was his first friend? For some reason that made me extremely happy.

"Yeah...but um I-I haven't left...here in a-a long time..."

"How long?"

I heard him gulp and he retracted his fingers, his gaze falling on the bed.

"S-seven years..." I stared at him in shock, seven years? No way...

"B-but what about for food?"

"There are fridges in the cellar stocked full of food..."

Damn...he really hasn't left this place in so long. I kept staring at him in shock, not knowing what to say. His cheeks were bright red, clearly embarrassed with sharing that with someone.

"Come with me" I suddenly said, taking a hold of his hand and pulling him from his seat. I never let go of his hand as we walked down the stairs nor did I when we reached the back door of the building but as I tried to pull him outside, he stopped.

I heard him gulp as he pulled his hand back, cradling it against his chest and staring at the outside world in utter fear.

"I-I can't" Jas stood there frozen as he stared ahead of him, his eyes gazing over the overgrown yard that stood before us.

I stepped in front of him, blocking his view and forcing him to look at me instead. I took hold of his hand once more, using my thumb to draw circles on his hand in hopes of calming his down, it seemed to do the trick as I watching him sigh gently and close his eyes.

"You can, I'm here. There's nothing to be afraid of" I didn't try to pull him outside again and instead decided it would be best if I let him make the first move, he could do this in his own time.

His eyes opened slowly and he gave me a wary look before slightly taking a step back.

"I'm s-sorry, Lucas. I can't" He turned around to make his way back through the house but I didn't give him time.

He left out a surprised gasp as I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards me, crashing my lips against his. His eyes were wide and his lips were frozen against mine but he soon calmed down and let his eyes fall closed, kissing me back.

I kissed him softly and tenderly, kneading my lips against him and I heard his sigh contently. I started kissing him harder and slowly ran my tongue over his bottom lip, we were both completely new to this but it felt right. To my surprise he opening his mouth, slightly. Granting me access and I wasting no time as I pushed my tongue into his mouth. As our tongues touched we both gasped and I started massaging his tongue with mine, earning me a moan from Jasper but he didn't pull away in shock this time and instead kept kissing me.

I pulled Jasper's body against mine and a moan escaped from my mouth, he felt so great against me. His arms wrapped themselves around my neck, pulling himself closer to me in the process. Our tongues battled but I quickly gained dominance, I then made my move. We continued to kiss in a heated mess and I slowly started pulling him backwards, he was too far gone in the kiss to notice so I headed out further and further. I didn't have to worry about anybody seeing us as the back of the house was shielded and somebody would actually have to come around the back of the house to be able to see.

We were both breathing heavily and soon I had to pull back for air. My heart was beating loudly and for a moment I wondered if he could hear it, I opened my eyes to find his still shut. We were standing in the middle of his back yard and I was kind of scared to see what his reaction would be but at the same time I really wanted to help him.

Jasper slowly opened his eyes, his cheeks heated and red and his heart was probably pounding as loud as mine. I heard him gasp and watching as he was about to start freaking out but before he could, I grabbed his hand and placed it against my chest. I didn't say anything as I watched him. His expression changed from scared to surprised as he felt my heart race in my chest. His eyes found mine and they were full with so many emotions a small gasp escaped from my lips.

Jasper used his other hand to take hold of mine and placed it against his own chest. My eyes widened at how quickly his heart was beating, I really had this much of an effect on him?

"I'll come to yours for dinner on Friday" He whispered as he looked into my eyes.

"Thank you" I whispered back as I started at him. Could this be...love?

"Okay so what's your name?" I asked for the one hundredth time tonight.

"Jasper Brown" He replied with an exasperated sign. We'd gone through this already a hundred times tonight but I wanted to get it right. There was no way my parents could know where Jasper actually lived and the fact that he spent his life hidden away here, what would my parents think?

"And how old are you?"

"19" I could tell he was getting fed up with the same stream of questions by this point but he wanted me to help him so he didn't mess up in front of my parents. I knew both my mother and father would instantly love Jasper but I agreed on needing to change the story up a bit.

"What do you do for a living Jasper?"

"Um..."

"It'll be easier if you just say you go to school with me, either say you were held back a year or say you're 18"

"You want me to lie to your parents?"

"Well you can't exactly tell them the truth, can you?" Jasper lay back on his bed, throwing his arm over his eyes and sighing.

"So what do you do for a living?" I asked once again.

"I go to school with your son" He smiled, slightly as he spoke.

"Okay, good. I will be there with you so if things get salty, I'll intersect"

"Okay, can we do something else now. We've be doing this for hours, I'm pretty sure I've got it down by now"

"Someone's antsy" I giggled, laying down next to him of the bed.

"Sorry, it's just the more I think about it the more worried I get"

"You'll do just fine" I reassured, taking a hold of his hand. We lay like this for the longest time before my phone emitted noise from inside my pocket.

I sighed, pulling my phone out and my eyes nearly fell out of their sockets once I saw the time. I quickly answered, placing the phone against my ear.

"I'm sorry mum, I didn't realize how late it was" I jumped up from the bed as I spoke, pulling my shoes on and grabbing my backpack.

I heard her giggle through the phone "I'll take it you're having fun then? Well sorry to be a killjoy, honey but it's late..."

"Yeah I know, I'm heading back now"

"Okay, see you soon, love you!"

"Love you too." I hung up the call, placing my phone back into my pocket and turning to Jasper.

"Sorry, Jas. I have to go"

"O-oh, okay. I'll see you tomorrow, r-right?"

"Of course!" I once again placed a tender kiss on his cheek before running out the door, yelling out a goodbye.

"Wait!" I suddenly heard Jasper yell out as I reached the bottom of the stairs. I turned around surprised and watched as he scrambled down the stairs, coming to a stop in front of me. He was blushing to the tips of his ears and I stared at him, curiously. Suddenly Jasper threw his arms around me, crushing me in a hug that made my heart race.

He held on to me tightly, his face pressed against my neck. I couldn't speak so instead I hugged him back. He felt so perfect in my arms and I pulled him closer. I suddenly felt Jasper's lips touch my neck and a shiver ran through me, he kissed some more and a moan slipped out of my mouth. My neck burnt from his lips and I found myself wanting more but I knew I couldn't, even if I weren't in a hurry to get home, Jasper isn't ready for that kind of thing.

But suddenly he gently pressed his teeth against my ear and the moan that emitted my lips had me pulling him even closer, trapping him against my body and I heard him giggle slightly before running his tongue against the outer of my ear. I took a sharp intake of breath, trying not to lose control.

"Jasper" I hear him gasp at the sound of my voice and I was surprised he couldn't feel me throbbing about his leg but if he did he didn't say anything about it.

"S-sorry" He backed off slowly, his face lit up like a Christmas tree.

I placed my hands on either side of his head, making him look at me.

"No need to apologize. I just...if you kept that up..." I was blushing myself, not sure how to word it but I could tell he understood what I meant when his eyes slowly got wider.

A small smile appeared on his face at my words and I couldn't help but smile back.

"I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?"

He nodded, his face still red but a smile still on his lips.

"Yep, see you tomorrow"

I kissed him on the lips this time. It was soft and only lasted a second but it left him smiling more and I noticed he looked really good with a smile on his face. I laughed to myself before turning around and heading out of the house, making my way home.

Yep, I was so gone.
