《TikTok University》Chapter 15: Waiting
Advertisement
Previously-
He rapped his arm around me holding my hand. We just stayed that way till the end of the movie. I looked up this time and he was asleep.
I went upstairs to get the cover from my closet. When I came back down he was laid out across the couch. I cuddled up on top of him and slowly fell asleep.
Tony's POV
Jess's phone was ringing. I woke up and saw that she was laying on top of me. I kissed her then smiled. I looked over at her phone and saw it was Noah calling her.
I put her phone on silent so that it doesn't wake her up. The phone stopped ringing and she got a text from him. I pulled out my phone scrolling through insta when I saw something on TikTok.
TikTokRoom -Everyone knows that Noahbeck has a huge crush on Jessica Cruz👀. Who do you guys ship her with more?
I was gonna comment on the post but I decided I probably shouldn't.
Jessica's POV
I woke up and saw that Tony was awake on his phone.
Jessica- hey
I said smiling up at him.
Tony- check your phone.
I picked up my phone and saw that I had a text from Noah.
Noah-Hey I kinda commented on your pic with Tony. In my defense Larry hyped me up to do it and it's cool that you and Tony are together.
I read the message then I looked back at Tony.
Jessica- you read the message?
Tony- no.
Jessica- so you want to read it?
Tony- I saw everything on insta.
Jessica- well he's not gonna try anything with me Tony....
Tony- Jess I'm gonna go.
Jessica- I was planning on you staying the night.
I said frowning.
Tony- no Jess I think I should go. I'll see you tomorrow though.

He said getting up and walking towards the door.
Jessica- are you mad at me?
Tony- no it's just really irritating.
Jessica-I'll call Noah right now and see what's going on if you don't leave.
I said still pouting. He walked back over to me and sat down. I called Noah and put the phone on speaker.
Noah- Hello?
Jessica- What's going on Noah.
Noah- I was with Larry and he got into my head a little bit and I posted the comment but then I deleted it and now Dixie's mad at me.
Jessica- So you and Dixie are officially together?
Noah- yeah it happened a few Weeks ago.
Jessica- k I gotta go.
Noah- we good?
Jessica- yeap bye.
I hung up the phone and looked at Tony.
Jessica- see, I told you.
Tony- I'm going back to sleep.
He said all grumpy.
Jessica- Lets go up to my room. You can sleep there.
We went upstairs to my room. I got in my bed and Tony laid on my lap going back to sleep. I was on my phone and playing in his hair.
A few weeks later
Me and Tony have been doing good and so have Noah and Dixie. I haven't really talked to Quinton much though and I miss him. I've talked to my mom but she's still out of town so Tony's been staying at my place for the most part.
I woke up and noticed that Tony wasn't in bed with me so I assume he either left or he's downstairs eating breakfast. I got up went to the bathroom then washed my face and brushed my teeth. I looked over at the night stand and saw that Tony's phone and keys were gone.
I walked over to my bed and FaceTimed him.

Jessica-Morning.
When he answered the phone I saw that he was in his car.
Tony- morning.
Jessica- where are you headed?
Tony- I had a meeting to go to today.
Jessica- You didn't tell me about any meeting.
Tony- I'm sure I did....... get dressed I'll come get you after the meeting, we can go somewhere.
Jessica- ok bye.
Tony- love you.
He said hanging up the phone. He's never told me that before and he just hangs up! What if I wanted to say it back.
After I processed what he said I started look for something to wear.
(What I put on)
I made sure to put on the cross necklace that Tony had got me last week.
I went downstairs and went on my phone but I got bored so I finally downloaded TikTok. I followed Tony,Chase,Addison Charli,Dixi and some more people.
Before I knew it an hour had went by and no text or call from Tony and I hadn't eaten anything so I couldn't call Quinton cause we haven't talked since he started talking to his girlfriend. So I called Addison but she didn't answer.
Eventually I called Charli and she picked up the phone.
Charli- heeeyyyy Jess what's up?
Jess- hey where are you right now?
Charli- um I'm at the hype house right now what's up?
Jess- I wanted to go out but no ones answering there phones. Can I come to the house?
After I asked that I heard a loud crash in the background.
Tony- ONDRE !
Charli- actually I was just about to leave the house.
Jess- Was that Tony I thought he was at a meeting?
