Something

Days later, Trey seemed to be M.I.A and I was getting annoyed. But what was I supposed to expect? We weren’t dating or anything, well sort of yeah but really it was all just seeming stupid and unreal.

This couldn’t be what a real relationship is like, right? That one question circled through my mind until a week later when Jack showed up at my door step.

I opened the door quickly at first because I thought it was finally Trey. Then I contemplated slamming it in Jack’s face when I realized it was just him. “Jack.â€? was all I could utter. I was a bit surprised to see him after our set-up date and it was even stranger that he didn’t say anything back. He just stared at me for a while before letting himself in.

My hand rested on the door and I turned my body so he couldn’t really walk inside. Though that didn’t really stop him.

“Jack. What do you want?â€? He was still staring and it was beginning to creep me out.

“Something.â€? he whispered, stepping inside by pushing me out of the way. Yeah, something was up.
