To keep the peace, before Sean happens upon the idea to ground me indefinitely, I spend the rest of the evening with them, although all I want to do is go to bed and analyse my sudden, crushing feelings for Jared.
When Sean is his pleasant self again, and my mom has relaxed, I say goodnight and go upstairs. My room feels a little comfier than it did that first day, months ago-not much, but I turn a blind eye and snuggle into bed.
I close my eyes and see Jared's face in front of me. It seems ridiculous and rash, honestly too fast, but I think I love him.
Is that even possible?
I lay daydreaming, reliving every detail of the day in my mind, obviously only the parts involving Jared, for most of the night.
When I eventually do fall asleep, I am smiling contentedly.
