That Way

25. The Last Time

It's now Monday morning, I wake up to my mum bringing me Nutella on toast and a cup of tea. "Thank you." I smile as I sit up and take it from her. "Hazel told me about your argument last night, your not letting Jack come between you two are you?" She ask making me sigh.

"I can't win. I'm loosing everyone." I say making mum sigh before climbing into my bed and sitting next to me and pulling me into her arms. "She's just worried. She's grown to like Jack and she feels like he and Katie are family now, she's worried that will end. She's also worried you letting go of the best thing that's ever happened to you. You're scared, I understand that, but think about this seriously. You're worried about loosing everyone, but what about if you loose yourself again?" She asks making me sigh and close my eyes to stop myself from crying.

"I hate this." I say making her play with my hair. "Hate what darling?" She asks making me sigh. "Being scared, out of control." I say making her chuckle. "You are in more control then ever. Maybe you should just takes some time to yourself, don't rule anything out." She says making me nod and smile sadly at her. "Thanks mum." I say making her smile.

"Now get up and get sexy." She says making me laugh as I get out of bed. "Thank you." I smile before biting my toast and walking into the bathroom with it in my mouth and my cup of tea in the other.

After doing my hygiene, I change into some leggings and a white rock T-shirt and a grey flannel before slipping my grey Jordan 1s on. I grab my Louis Vuitton bag and run down the stairs. "Here you go." My mum smiles as she hands me my tea to go. "Thank you." I smiles. "You picking Hazel up later?" She asks making me shrug. "If she apologises." I say making her roll her eyes playfully. "I love you." I shout as I grab my keys and open the front door. "I love you too!" She shouts before I close the door.

I get in my car and start playing XXXTENTACION and singing my heart out as I drive to college. Once I'm parked and I grab my already rolled burn and walk towards the smoking area to meet the girls. "Ivy!" Kacie shouts at the top her lungs as I open the gate and she runs towards me. "Baby!" I smile as she jumps into my arms and hangs onto me like a koala. "I missed you." I say as she jumps back down.

"I missed you more, a whole week without you? Torture." She says making me laugh as we walk over to the girls. "My baby!" Morgan pouts as she pulls me into her arms. "I've missed you." I say as we pull away. "I missed you more." She says making me pout before hugging Luce. "Bitch, it's not the same without you." She says making me laugh as we pull away. "I should have never left. You all ready know everything." I say making them nod as I light my burn.

"He ain't been himself though." Luce says making me look down. "He's been in here every morning, hoping you'd pop up." Kacie says making me smile sadly. "Speak of the devil." Morgan says making me turn to see him and Harvey walk in.

Our eyes meet and he just shakes his head and looks down as they walk over. "Poison Ivy, guess that names more real now huh?" Harvey says making me sigh and shake my head. "Don't fucking start. We're not involved, I could chat shit about Jack, very fucking easily, but I don't because he's your mate and I'm not involved. So shut the fuck up." Kacie says making him raise his hands before smirking at me. "I still think you're a cunt." He says making me swing and send him a hard right hook, which makes him fall to the floor and hold his cheek.

"Shut the fuck up. Sorry Kace." I say before throwing my burn down on the floor and walking into colly as everyone stares at me in shock. "What the fuck was that?" I hear Jack shout as I walk around the corner. "Just don't Jack." I shake my head before he grabs my arm and slams me against the wall.

"What the fuck is your problem?" I ask making him scoff. "What's my fucking problem? You told me that you love me more then you've ever loved anyone and that you can't let me hurt you, before fucking off for a week and not talking to me, then Hazel comes round and tells me that your done with me. What the fuck have I done?" He shouts making me shake my head. "You made me love you." I say making his face soften as he strokes my cheek and I close my eyes, savouring the feeling.

"And I would never hurt you." He says softly making me sigh and look into his honey brown eyes. "Maybe not intentionally, but I won't survive if you do. I don't want to be that bitch that relies on her boyfriend, but I'm already broken and you can break me more then anyone ever has. I'm trying to protect myself." I say making him rest his forehead against mine.

"You never have to protect yourself from me." He says making me stare into his eyes. "I'm not protecting myself from you, I'm protecting myself from the pain you could cause." I say making him sigh. "Could isn't would." He says making me smile. "We fucked this, we complimented something really good." I say making him trace his thumb over my lip.

"I don't regret a thing, I had you, even for a little." He says making me smile before the bell goes. "I still love you Jack." I say making him smile sadly. "I love you more Ivy, more then you could ever know." He says before kissing me with more love and passion then every before.

Our goodbye kiss.
