You stare at your phone, the cracks illuminating in the darkness of your bedroom. You read through you and Jackie's texts, seeing how she randomly goes MIA and how she hasn't really answered recently. You told her you got promoted at your garage, Tony's, then asked how her internship went, no answer. Before Jackie left, you kissed her. This caused uproar in the Walter household, with your 7 brothers and one, Alex, who recently broke up with Jackie prior to the kiss. Some of your brothers even wrote 'Cole and Jackie' on your desk, in a teasing manner but you never took it lightly.

You're Cole Walter, always known for being a 'playerboy', and a failed athlete. You got a leg injury that literally determined your fate. Now your football dreams done. This affected you deeply, and still does. The worst part? Jackie knows all this. She knows everything about you. Jackie left for NYC for the summer last month, and you guys haven't really kept in touch. You tried to, but she hasn't answered. Everytime you get see her name, her face pops up in your mind. Gorgeous black sleek hair, brown doe eyes, it's mesmerising. Jackie moved in with you, your 7 brothers, 2 cousins (also boys) and your parents last year, but it feels like ancient history when she arrived. Her family died in an accident in NYC where she originally lived, your mom was a close friend and that led to Jackie moving to Colarado with you lot.

You- Did I do something to piss you off? You message Jackie, staring at the phone waiting for a response. You know how much you like Jackie, it's the first time you've genuinely liked a girl.
