You're everything I needed (Flamingo Albert x reader)

||Christmas Eve||

Your day got kind of better after Jake came, he even brought you some of your favorite snacks! You told him everything about the Kirsten situation, he offered to talk to Albert about it but you refused, you didn't want anything to do with Albert anymore. After he left, you tried to make yourself feel better by trying to figure out why he did what he did, but you just came to the same conclusion every time, ~because he's just an asshole~

Another week went by and you needed up telling the others about it, Aija added that Jayden has also been distant from her since the incident, but you weren't surprised. They tried to make you feel better and kept asking if you wanted them to talk to Albert but you still refused, you stayed as far away from him as possible, especially in 4th period, you didn't even look his way. To be honest, it was getting kind of exhausting, but of course, you couldn't do anything about it.

Jakes POV

It's been about two weeks since y/n and Albert stopped talking, I haven't really talked to him since either. But today was going to be different. I can't stand seeing her like this anymore, why would Albert do that in the first place, we've been best friends for a while now, he wouldn't just do that for the fun of it.
I know y/n said she didn't want me asking Albert for anything, but I just couldn't help it, I needed answers.

It was finally after school and y/n and them already left. I told them I was waiting for a teacher to "ask them a question", but I was really just waiting for Albert. I stood next to the entrance scrolling through my phone so people didn't think I was weird. As I was looking through my phone I saw from the corner of my eye that Albert walked past me, so I quickly look up, my instincts were right, it was him.

"Hey, Albert," I say hoping he'd stop walking, which he did. He turned around and I could tell he looked annoyed when he saw me, "Oh, hey Jake" "Can I ask you something" I reply walking towards him. "If it's about what happened with y/n I'm walking away" he answers taking a step back. "Oh uh well, it kind of sort of is. But not really! It's just-" I say trying to find the right words so he didn't walk away, "Why?" "What what?" he asked confused with his hands on his backpack straps. "Why would you do that" I finally answer disappointed. He then looked at me with guilt in his eyes, he didn't say anything for a couple of seconds but finally, "It wasn't my fault"

"What do you mean it wasn't your fault, y/n saw it with her own eyes!" I answer kind of annoyed. "No, dude, it wasn't my fault, I know what it sounds like but-" he paused and looked around, "Kirsten manipulated me into doing it" he answered quieter. "..Wait what" I answer wanting to know the whole story to make sure he wasn't lying. "I don't know if y/n told you this, but a few months ago we snuck out of school," "Yea I remember, she told me, but what's your point?" "Somehow Kirsten has a video of us sneaking out, and she found out that we've been talking to each other, she used that against me" he sighed running his hand through his hair.

"But, why did you say those things to her," I asked confused about that part. "It was the heat of the moment, I regret everything I said and I really want to apologize, it bothers me every time I see her, I just want her back, but she won't talk to me," I felt really bad at that moment, I really wanted to tell y/n everything, I was going to ask if I could but he added, "and I would ask you to tell her for me, but I feel like it's only right if I tell her myself."

I then started thinking of ways he could tell her without it being too awkward, "Maybe you could, tell her you're sorry with a present or something, I mean Christmas is coming up soon. Trust me, she loves free stuff, maybe it'll give you a chance to talk to her." As soon as I said that I saw his face light up like he had a plan, "Jake you're a genius! I just remembered I was telling her how I could get her tickets to go to California to see her parents I can get everyone a ticket!"
