~Jennie's P.O.V.~

"What's taking so long out here?" I hear Gabe's deep voice from behind me, causing Taehyung, and I to jump apart.

I turn around to face him and smile the best I can. "I-I, um, nothing..."

I'm a bad liar.

Heat creeps upon my cheeks and, Gabe narrows his at me, accusingly. "Really?"

I look at Taehyung out of the corner of my eyes, and see him leaning against the car, with his arms crossed over his chest, and the corners of his lips are pulled up into a smirk.

I frown and wring my hands. "Yes. We were just talking. Right, Taehyung?" I throw him a look, trying to let him know to get that smug look off of his face.

Taehyung shrugs his shoulders, looking at Gabe instead of me. "Yeah sure...Talking."

Taehyung's been acting weird since Gabe has interrupted us. It's like he's bragging to Gabe.

Gabe balls his hands in fists and Taehyung doesn't move at all.

"C-come on." I say, before anything happeneds. "Let's go back inside." I put my hands on Gabe's chest and push him away from Taehyung.

Gabe sighs and nods his head. "Fine. Whatever." He shakes his head like he's trying to get rid of a thought, then takes my hand gently and pulls me along with him.

I look back behind me to see, Taehyung is not following us...He's sitting in his car with his head in his hands...

~Taehyung's P.O.V.~

"What's taking so long out here?" I jump away from Jennie when I hear, Gabe's voice. Great. And she was finally listening to me too.

Jennie's face turns a light color of pink and she smiles a nervous smile. "I-I, um, nothing..."

I lean against the shut car door and cross my arms watching this exchange. Gabe told me (More like threatened me) to stay away from her when he first found out about the bet.

And I don't like that.

I don't like that at all.

I do what I want. And I want Jennie.

Gabe narrows his eyes at Jennie. "Really?"

I notice that Gabe flicks his eyes over to me with a glare in his eyes and I gave him my best smug look.

Jennie frowns and plays with her hands. "Yes. We were just talking. Right, Taehyung?" She turns her head and focuses her scowl on me. I look away from her quickly and look over to Gabe then I shrug my shoulders.

"Yeah sure...Talking."

Gabe's cheeks turn red and he makes his hands into fists.

I've seen this same look before on my Dad whenever he's upset. I almost back down and tell Gabe that I'm sorry, but my pride gets in the way. I'm not about to let anyone tell me what to do...Not even Gabe.

Sophie turns towards Gabe and lays her hands on his chest. "C-come on. Let's go back inside." She says quietly to Gabe.

Man, she's so cute.

I shake my head and run my fingers through my hair.

When did I start saying cute.

Gabe looks down at her, and his face softens, then he sighs and nods his head. "Fine. Whatever." He shakes his head then grabs her hand like I should be doing.

They walk off without me and I open the passengers side door of the car and sit down.

Of course I messed it up with her again. I never can do anything right.

I place my head in my hands.

Jennie is the only person who will listen to me, besides Ian. Everyone else doesn't care about me. I mean, just look what happened after I lost the bet. Everyone dropped me. Mike and Chris, turned against me in a heartbeat when I lost. Oh, and I found out that, Mike and Brittney were together the whole time that I was "dating" her.

What nice friends, eh?

Oh, and my Dad? Yeah, he disowned me. He acts like I'm not even there. I guess that's better then him hitting me. Yes, I had a very big beating when he first found out I lost the bet, but that was the last time he's ever had anything to do with me.

I don't need any of them anyway. I can do everything by myself.

I raise my head up when my phone buzzes in my pocket.

To: Taehyung.

From: Jennie.

'Are you okay?'

I chuckle to myself.

She's such a girl. Always caring about everyone.

To: Jennie.

From: Taehyung.

'Yup. Be up in a sec.'

Might as well get this over with.
