closer to him.
            “I know we can’t be together right now, I know you’re hurting, and I plan to make that right. But you’re mine, you will forever be mine. I will fight for you til the day I die and I know you feel the same way.” I ease my head onto his shoulder and wrap my arms around him. Our bodies mend together. Our bleeding hearts finally becoming one. You don’t realize how much you miss something until you no longer have it.
            The tears I so badly wanted to hold in slowly ease from tightly closed eyes. They slide down my cheeks with ease. As if I had needed to let them go for months. I take a deep breath and pull back wiping the left over tears from my cheeks. My face is red and my eyes are puffy I’m sure, but I don’t care. This is the closure I needed. Yes, I had been avoiding talking to Rex for what seemed like forever, but I wanted to do it when it was right. I didn’t want him to say he was sorry because he felt like that was the right thing to do.  An apology should come from the heart, and you should mean what you say.
            “Friends it is then?” I ask curious to hear his response. I’m not ready to jump right back in with him, although I really want to. He gives me a cheesy grin as he takes a step forward; his lips brushing mine so softly if I didn’t see him kissing me I wouldn’t even have been able to tell. The next stroke of his lips against mine is deeper, I gasp out shocked that he went there.
            I pull back, biting my lips. The tingling feeling on them from the roughness of his kiss is doing crazy things to my head. “Friends don’t kiss Rex.” I mumble out, my face blushing like crazy.
            He leans in, his lips near my ear I feel his hot breath on my neck, and he’s doing nothing to calm down that thought of not jumping into things again. His tongue skims that sensitive area on my neck and I feel my knees buckling. The need to give in is so strong, like it’s hurting me more to not do so.
            “They don’t, but then again I never agreed to be friends.” He whispers softly. Memories from our time in the library months prior filter through my mind. He said those same words to me once before, then he kissed me. A smile creeps onto my face, what a smooth talker.
            “You totally had me swooning.” I say backing up and making my way over to the food. If I stood there one second longer I would’ve been mauling him like Miley Cyrus in the Wrecking Ball video. Rex is looking deliciously handsome in a pair of dark blue jeans, and tight fitted tee as usual. I look down at my evening attire, and feel underdressed. Well so much for not wanting to look sexy. No instead I just look like a person who jacked the nearest homeless guy’s clothes outside.
            “I brought a movie, even though I’m sure you have some.” He mumbles as he runs his hands through his long dark locks. His movements, so powerful, but gentle at the same time make me want to melt through the floor. Now I know why I didn’t talk to him sooner. There would be absolutely no way I could say no to that.
            “Of... of course we have movies.” I say letting out a fake laugh, turning toward the cupboard to get some plates. Stop being a weirdo Jenna. Where is Mimi when you need her? Oh that’s right, pissing the other Winchester boy off. Though I would love to say Corey has whatever Mimi is doing to him coming, I don’t fully agree with her shenanigans. What she’s doing is no different than what he did to me, and though I still have a little resentment for what he did, I get it.
            A hand lands on my shoulder, as Rex’s soft blue eyes come into focus. “Hey, are you okay?” He looks concerned and that right there causes another chip of my once impassible wall to break away.
            “Oh yeah, I’m fine. Here take these, I’ll grab the food and we can go start the movie.” I
