Love and War, Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Jess and Polly became really close friends over the next month, they did pretty well everything together and Jess was a massive help to Polly with the baby, she was there for ultrasounds to buy some clothes and items for the baby and they helped each other with their homework, life seemed to be sweet for the two friends. "Hey...Polly." Jess asked one day as they walked home from school, it was a beautiful sunny day and all seemed calm and happy. "Yeah, what is it Jess?" Jess looked down at the ground, not sure if she should say what she was about to say. "Well I really like someone, I know that they wont like me back though, I'm not sure what to do." Polly thought for a second, woundering who it was. "Well you should still tell them that you like them, you never know Jess, maybe they like you back." "Yeah there is really no chance of that. So are you still coming over to my place today?" "Yeah I am." Later on that night Polly arrived at Jessicas place for yet another movie night, Polly loved Jess' place. Jess had two little twin brothers and an older sister, the twin brothers were only six and the older sister was nineteen. There was always something going on at Jess' place, Jess' mum had left the family a month after the twins were born, she said it had been for a better life and ever since their father had taken care of the four kids, and had done a great job at that. Polly always woundered what it would have been like to be a big sister, or even just a little sister, Jess said that it wasn't that great but Polly always thought of it as a dream coming true, she hated being an only child. The girls watched a series of movies, a mix of comedy, horror and romance and by time they got to their final movie the girls had been through three bowls of popcorn and it was 3am. "So Jess, who was the person you like?" Polly asked as the finaly movie finished. "Um....I would rather not say." "Do I know them?" "Yeah very well actually." Polly started really thinking. "Is it Marco?" "No." "Simon?" "No." "Is it a guy?" "No." Polly stopped, it wasn't a guy, and she knew them very well as Jess had said. "Polly...it's you." Polly didn't do anything, she loved Jess, just not in that way, not ever in that way.
