(Jax Pov)

I run around the parking lot until I find her car, walking towards it I see Summer's head leaned against her steering wheel. Standing there for a second I stare as she cries alone in her car, and I feel my heart slowly shatter in my chest. What have I done?

Walking up to her car I knock on the window, looking over at me cheeks covered in mascara Summer pushes a button and locks all the doors. About to start her car "Summer wait! Please just talk to me!" I yell loud enough for her to hear me. She looks over at me and I throw my hands up surrendering "I don't want to fight anymore"

Pushing the lock button again she unlocks the door allowing me in. Climbing in her car I sit next to her thinking of the right words to say. "I messed up" I sit face forward unable to look at how much I've hurt my bestfriend "I want to tell you the truth, all of it"

"Do that or get out of my car" she tries to stop crying.

"2 years ago I met a guy. Remember Joshua's birthday party? I was all by myself because you just started going out with Trevor and all you 2 ever did was make out. I spent that whole night watching your purse, because that's all you ever thought I was good for, purse watching. I was in a corner all by myself and this guy sat down next to me, he was different, mysterious" I find myself wanting to smile "2 years ago Mitchell sat with me at a party and we talked that whole night while I held your purse, he sat there and let me vent for like hours. It was time to go so we left and I never noticed him again, but I remembered that day."

"You never told me that story"

"I never told anyone, I don't even think Mitch remembers. What I did was selfish and inconsiderate, I was upset by the way you were treating such an amazing person that I forgot about your feelings and just thought of my own. I didn't want to be under you anymore but at the same time I found myself owing you something because you've been there for me through everything. You and I have had our ups and downs and we've survived all of that, we can survive this right?" I finally turn to look at her

She looks at me too "I don't know if I can Jax, I feel like you betrayed me, I feel like you did this to me and expected me to be completely ok with it. I tried Jax I swear I did, but every time I see you with him I can't help it, I miss him. I tried so hard to be ok with it, and for a split moment I was. When you were lying in that hospital all I wanted was for you to be happy and ok. Mitch was there and he was saying all these things and I realized you two deserve each other. Mitch knows how to love Jax, he'll protect you no matter what, I knew that and I didn't know how to handle it. I don't know anyone who deserves to be loved as much as you do, you need it."

"You know he loves you like that right"

She starts to cry again "no he loved me like that, I screwed everything up." Looking at each other we both sigh and she sticks her hand out to me, I take it "I'm so sorry for being such an asshole, I just knew that as soon as our trip ended you'd just run back to him and I was right. I'm losing the both of you"

"Trust me you haven't lost Mitch he'll always love you, and you won't lose me not now not ever."  Still holding hands "we're gonna be ok"

"I hope so." We let got and she starts the car

"I actually should... umm" I don't know how to tell her I have to leave

"He's waiting" she says disappointed "I'll see you at school."

Opening the car door I stare at her sad face and I don't want to leave. Shutting the door I take out my phone calling Mitch, Summer stares at me as I hold the phone to my ear wondering what I'm doing "hey" he answers

"Hi"

"What's up? Do you need me?"

"Every day of my life" I smile and I hear him quietly chuckle "but I need to be with my best friend right now"

"I get it, go be with her. Call me when you need"

"I will" hanging up I open the car door and climb back in "let's go home" I smile at Summer and she smiles at me, she drives away.

Summer drops me home after we spend the day talking and putting everything out in the open. She told me how me being with Mitch makes her truly feel and I guess I wasn't being very considerate because I kept throwing him in her face, despite how she acted Summer really loves Mitch and a part of me will always feel awful for what I did, but Summer understands that what I did I did to help Mitch not hurt her.

Making it to my room I call him "I miss you" I say when he picks up

"I miss you too"

"What are you doing?" I ask climbing in my bed

"Laying in bed"

"You should come lay in mine instead" he doesn't reply and I quietly face palm knowing I made it awkward "I'm sorry that was weird, I shouldn't have said that" I apologize

"No hey" he says as I'm apologizing "don't be sorry, I'll be right there"

"Wait seriously?" I sit up "I was only kidding"

"I'm not, I'll be there soon, bye."

"Bye..." he hangs up and I stare at my screen. It's almost midnight and Mitch is coming over here, and I look gross. Jumping out of bed I quickly tear my clothes off grabbing my towel and running to the shower.

Sitting outside on the steps in front of my house I wait for him, taping my leg and bitting my nails I can feel myself getting nervous and more nervous knowing he's close. Why am I nervous we've spent nights together before? But tonight's gonna be different. His car pulls up and I stand up, as soon as my sight lands on him I start to smile. Getting out of his car he opens the back seat and takes out his backpack.

"Hi" I smile as we walk towards each other

"Hi" he walks up to me.

Reaching his head down he rest his forehead against mine, eyes locked in each other's I reach my arms around his neck and slowly move my lips closer to his, kissing him I pull away after our lips touch "come on" I take his hand and I lead him to my house.

Walking into my room I lock the door and he drops his bag "how was spending time with Summer?" He asks standing near my bed

"Good actually we hashed it out, thank you for making me talk to her you were right"

"I'm glad."

Walking over I climb in my bed laying on the right side, Mitch watches me still standing in the same spot "are you gonna join me?"

"It's why you invited me here right?"

"If I remember correctly..." sitting up on my knees I crawl over to the tip of the bed till I get to him, grabbing him by the jacket I pull him closer "it is." Closing my eyes I kiss him as I take his jacket off, pulling him to the bed we worm our way to where the pillows are and Mitch lays on his back with me to the side of him, we're still kissing. "Can you stay the night?" I ask running my hand against his rock hard chest and abs

Nodding yes "I told Liv to cover for me if my parents asks for me tomorrow morning" we laugh a little

"And my parents leave for work really early so we won't have to worry about sneaking you out of here." I was so nervous about him coming here tonight because I knew it'd be different, he won't be my friend Mitch who sits across my bed and watch over me as I sleep to protect me, he's my boyfriend Mitch who's going to sleep in my bed with me in his arms.
