Chapter 34: Josh's P.O.V

Josh's P.O.V

"He's looking over here." I said, keeping my eyes locked on Amy, taking a sip of my drink. Her smile grew.
"Is he?" She asked, smirking back at me.
"Don't look though, we're supposed to be into each other." She laughed, rolling her eyes.
"No offense, Josh, but you're not my type." She said plainly.
"Don't worry, you're not my type either." I said, taking another sip of my drink.

Amy and I had talked a little after her and Jake broke up, but only because she wanted to know what was really going on between them. Jake was pretty vague when he ended things with her, which even I thought was weird considering how long they had been dating, but even I didn't know what happened.

And he told me everything. 

I finally saw Jess turn around, and my cheeks burned. Amy smirked at me, shaking her head.
"What's so special about this girl?" She asked, crossing her arms. I shrugged, looking away.
"I don't wanna talk about it." I sighed.
"Well, it concerns me too, she stole my boyfriend." She snapped.
"She didn't steal anything, Amy. Jake broke up with you before he left."
"And then magically started dating her.. immediately?" She asked. She did have a point. And Jake wasn't someone who jumped from relationship to relationship. But I guess when you know you know.

And I knew that I knew.

"He's looking back at her." I said quietly, staring down at my feet, kicking at the rocks surrounding us. "And... now they're leaving." 

Amy quickly turned around and watched as Jake took Jess by the hand, leading her over to the picnic table with Ronnie and Danny. I'm sure I'd get a mouthful from Ronnie about this.

"So what's the plan?" Amy asked, looking back at me, her face angry and her cheeks red with jealousy.
"The plan is to make Jess realize that she was actually supposed to be with me." I said. Amy scrunched up her face, staring back at me angrily.
"And what about me?" She asked. I sighed, looking back over at them.
"And then maybe if she leaves Jake, you can have him back for yourself." Her face relaxed and her lips curled into a smile.
"Good." She said simply. She moved next to me, leaning against the fence so she could get a better look at the two of them. 

"Are they ever not touching?" She asked, her tone getting angrier. I shook my head.
"No, and it's awful." I sighed. Amy reached over, moving her hand up and down my arm. I felt my cheeks burn as I instantly remembered that first night of tour, sitting next to Jess on the couch in the bar. I gently moved away, my face dropping.

"Well, how do you expect to make them jealous if I can't even touch you?" She asked. I bit down on my lip.
"I don't know." I said plainly. "But we're not doing that."

I only wanted to make her jealous, I didn't want to drive her away completely. And I knew if Jess had suspected anything seriously going on with me and Amy, it would only drive her further into Jake's arms.

"What is she doing?" Amy asked. I snapped out of it, looking back over at them. Jess got up from her side of the table and sat close to Jake, reaching up and holding his face in her hands and pulled him into a kiss. 

I felt my heart drop.

What I would give to have her kiss me like that; to look at me the way she looked at him, even just for a moment. I could feel my heart start to race and my stomach ache. He looked back at her, flashing her a huge smile. Whenever they were together, it was like they were the only two people in the world, and it made me sick. He reached back over, pulling her into another kiss.

I finally had to look away.

I could see Amy still staring over at them, her face dropping and her eyes sad. I'm sure this wasn't easy on her either. I knew how much she loved Jake, how much she probably still loved Jake.
