If I Can't Have You | GOT7 [SEQUEL] ✔

Chapter Twelve

"What??" Jackson was baffled. "Well did you!" Her voice raised and her friend nodded. "Oh my...." she began breaking down as Jackson led her to the car, doing so was difficult as she kept restraining. "Rosette, please." He held her shoulders and stared at him. Glaring for a moment, she backed away then walked off. "Rose, Rose, Rosette" He repeated her name as she trailed further away from him. He chased her and grabbed her hand which she snatched away.

"Why the fuck are you pissed at me?" He became upset and irritated by her attitude. "I understand Rose, you feel betrayed and heartbroken but do not take this out on me when all I've been trying to do was protect you." She looked away from him as the tears fell down her face. She groan out in frustration as she stomps her right feet.

Jackson released a breath to calm himself before engulfing the female in a tight hug. "Sorry." He heard her whisper, he sighed in response and held her head tightly to his chest. They stood in each other's embrace for a minute before he released her and stroke her mid back. "Come on.." she nodded and walked side by side with him.

An hour past midnight arrived swiftly. Rosette struggled to calm her disturbed spirit as she attempted to fall asleep. The sound of of the melodic rhythm from the clock began to irk her--matter of fact, she was irritated beyond belief at any and everything.

Sliding out of her bedroom, she sat in her living room. She admired the sun and moon above before sighing and leaning against the glass. "I need a drink..." she whispered to herself as she stared at her alcohol cabinet. She groan"Ugh, no. I barely ate." She scrolled through her phone searching for anything just to satisfy her own self. She looked through her contacts and saw Jackson's name. Without hesitation or mind for the time, she voicenotes him.

"Hey Jackson, I'm sincerely sorry for the way I treated you tonight. You didn't deserve the attitude or disrespect, I hope you can forgive me." She hit the send button then continued her single sided conversation. "I was just....hurt you know? Maybe even jealous... It was unexpected you know?" She paused her speech and sighed. She released the recording button and leaned back. "What the fuck am I doing?" She went to delete the second message when she saw her phone lit up with an incoming phone call..

Jackson:
Hey, are you drunk?

The first four words that left his left made Rosette explode in a fit of laughter.

Rose:
No, I'm just unable to sleep.

Jackson:
Listen Rose, I want you to know that I don't feel any type of way about what happened between us tonight. Honestly, after what you saw I expected it. Its human nature.

Rose:
I just feel so...so hurt Jackson. Hurt, embarrassed, betrayed. Why Arianna? Out of all the people. Why?

Jackson:
Because of you...as crazy as it sounds.

Rose:
What?

Jackson:
Being in the coma. Somehow and someway they fell for eachother. I'm guessing since they both were visiting so much, they spent time together. More time than they should've.

Rose:
So its ultimately my fault?

Jackson:
Fuck no Rosette, you couldn't have caused it. You couldn't even control what was happening...and I'm not saying that to sound like you are weak, but as a friend who witness you survive such a threatening predicament.

Rose read his last text and sighed. Tears fell down her face and she softly stared at the text, unknowing of how to reply.

Rose:
I'm going to try sleep. Sorry for disturbing.

Jackson:
I'll stay up all night if I have to, just to make you feel better.

Rose:
I know and appreciate you so much.
But, I'll let you finish your sleep. I know you're busy.

Good night Jackson. Well, morning.

Jackson:
😂 Good Rose, please get some rest.

A small smile grew on her face and she turned off her phone. She returned to her bedroom shortly, turning on her TV which ultimately helped her fall into a deep slumber.
