affection.
    “I just went for a run.” I back away, still trying to catch my breath.
    He looks me up and down and then reaches out and tugs on the hoodie hanging on me. I forgot about that until just now. “What’s this?”
    “Um, when I was in the park, I ran into Declan, like literally. He let m e borrow it because I forgot my jacket.”
    Hudson is silent for a second as he just glares at me. “I don’t trust that guy, Miley, he is weird.”
    I nod, “yeah, I think so too.”
    “What guy goes around giving random girls their jackets anyway ?” I try to ignore Hudson’s disdain and wrap my arm around his waist showing him affection again. I rest my chin on his chest and look up at him. He glares down at me as he shoves his hands in his pockets.
    “Hudson, what is your deal?” I step back.
    He shakes his head, “it doesn’t add up to me, Miley.” He narrows his eyes and shakes his head.
    “So you are you saying you think I am lying?” I put my hand on my chest he is not even going there again. 
    “Sure sounds like it.” He makes a thin li ne with his lips and I’m about to flip.
    “Whatever Hudson, I can’t believe you still don’t trust me.” I shout as I run away from him towards the house.
    “If you aren’t lying why are you being so defensive?!” he shouts right before I slam the door behind me.
     
    “What are you guys fighting about now?” Jess says exasperated as she strolls in my room.
    I sit up on my bed Indian style.  “He is just being jealous.” I roll my eyes.
    Jess makes her way to my vanity and fluffs her hair as she looks into the mirror before finally looking at me.. She grips the edge of my vanity as she leans against it and shrugs. “Just quit talking to other guys then. I mean whenever you guys are fighting  Hudson wants to hang out with Ethan and that cuts into my Ethan time. Because their whole stupid Bros before… well you know.” She shakes her head and waves her hand in the hair.
    “Well not talking to any guys ever is a little hard to do, Jess.”
    “Try a little harder.” She rolls her eyes. “Prom is coming up and really need you two getting along for it; we have waited for this like forever.” Jess turns around to look at herself in the mirror, fluffing her platinum blond hair once again.   Jess can’t stand to be around a mirror for more than a couple minutes without looking at herself.  “Why don’t you just have sex with him already? He probably wouldn’t be so jealous.”
    I let out a frustrated growl and lean back on my bed. Not this again. I pull a pillow over my face. “I don’t want to.”
    I hear Jess huff before the pillow is lifted off my face. “Quit being so selfish, Miley. You should really think about his feelings in all of this. Don’t you think he has waited long enough?” I just scowl at her. She flips her hair over her shoulder. “Whatever,” she says with an eye roll. “Don’t come crying to me when he doesn’t come back.”
    “Jess.” I sit up and shake my head.
    “Miley,” she sits beside me and gives me a small frown. “I am only saying this because I don’t want to see you hurt anymore, trust me.” She smiles placing her hand on my knee, “Sex will make things better for you two. I know you’re scared, but it only hurts the first time. It’s great after that.”
     
     
    “I’m sorry.” I hear Hudson’s voice in my ear. His hands begin to knead my shoulders. I have my back turned towards him pulling my books out of my locker. “ I overreacted.” And that is exactly what I wanted to hear. I turn around. His adorable big brown eyes melt my heart.
    “You make it hard to stay mad at.” I smile up at him.
    “Do you forgive me?” He gives me that crooked smile I love. The smile I have a hard time saying no to. The hallway is busy with our peers scattering to their classes, but right now all I am aware of is Hudson.
    “I guess.” I say with a playful smile.
    “You guess?” he chuckles.
    “Don’t
