Y/N - Your Name

(Thank you for this request, @StormyShadows1610 ! I hope you enjoy this chapter :]
This isn't the best chapter I've written to be honest lads)

READER PRONOUNS: THEY/THEM

"Y/N! Hey, come meet Amy!" Jack calls out, you come running, smiling widely.

"Hi!" You greet, and Amy waves enthusiastically.

"Amy, this is Y/N, we've been friends since we were kids." Jack tells her and her eyebrows briefly furrow before she smiles.

"Nice to meet you, Y/N." Amy says, reaching out a hand for you to shake. You take it, and when you shake it, she grips hard.

You smile uncomfortably, but Jack doesn't seem to notice. He's too busy staring down at Amy to see how weirded out you've become with his new friend.

A few days later...

"Alright lads, I'm gonna go get a drink. Anyone want anything?" Jack asks, standing from his seat next to Amy on the sofa.

"Yeah, can I have a Coke, please?" You request and Jack nods. He looks at Amy for a second, waiting to see if she wants anything, but she just gives him a smile. He shrugs before leaving the room.

A few seconds later, Amy sits upright. She glares at you brown eyes full of hate.

"Hey Y/N. Just wanna say, you've been a bit obsessed with Jack recently, and you're making him uncomfortable. So can you stop that, hun?" She asks passive-aggressively, words pleasant but face betraying the intent behind them. She wanted you gone.

"Obsessed? If anyones obsessed, it's you." You snap, and her face is no longer annoyed, it's angry.

"Listen here, Y/N. I could destroy you. I could make him hate you. But I won't, cause I'm being nice," she hisses, and you raise your eyebrows, "but don't you think for one second that if you carry on hanging with us, I won't act."

You have to strain to stop yourself from laughing as she stares you down. You compose yourself, then answer plainly and simply.

"I'm not scared of you." You murmur, and she scoffs, clearly infuriated that you didn't do as she pleased.

"Don't forget, Y/N. I warned you." She says finally, before getting up and stomping out of the room.

A couple of days later...

"Y/N!" Jack calls to you, and you turn to face him, eyes furrowed in confusion.

He looks angry as he walks up, and your heart drops when you see Amy behind him.

"What did you do?" He asks, grabbing you by the shoulder.

"What?" You reply, and Jack scoffs.

"What. Did. You. Do?" He repeats slower, but you're still not any more clued in as to what he was talking about.

"Jack, leave it. It's fine." Amy begs him, clinging on to his arm. He shrugs her off, eyes not leaving yours for a second. He was angry, that's for sure.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" You tell him, but he just scoffs.

"Of course you don't. Maybe this will jog your memory?" He says, stepping aside to show the whole of Amy's face.

Under her eye is a deep, nasty looking bruise. Your eyebrows raise and you gasp. Then, you start laughing.

"You think I did that?" You ask Jack, and he scowls.

"I don't see what's funny here, Y/N." Jack grumbles. You squint at him, trying to figure out why he isn't believing you over Amy.

"They're not gonna admit it, Jack. It's ok, it doesn't hurt that bad!" She presses, trying to pull him away. A familiar feeling of annoyance rises up within you at her whiny voice.

Both you and Jack ignore her, too caught up in your argument to bother with her.

"I didn't touch her!" You try to tell the man.

"Then why does she have that massive fucking bruise, Y/N?" Jack questions, glowering at you.

"Fuck if I know!" You yell, and Jack sighs deeply.

"If you're not gonna tell the truth, I can't be bothered to fight. Talk to me when you're not going to lie." He murmurs, turning on his heel and walking away, Amy treading at his heels like an annoying little puppy.

The next day...

You knock nervously on the door of your friend, Charlie's house. After a few seconds, it opens and the man himself is stood there.

"Hi Charlie." You greet sadly.

He ushers you in and asks what's wrong. You tell him the whole story and he sits there for a few seconds, stunned.

"Well, you can hang with me until Jack sees sense if you want." Is all he offers, and you agree excitedly.

Two days later...

You and Charlie had become close friends in the short time since you'd knocked on his door, and today you were both walking around the mall, when you run into Jack and Amy.

"Oh! Hey Jack." You greet your childhood friend, and you give Amy a dirty look instead of a greeting.

"Hi, Y/N. Charlie." Jack says stiffly, he looks tired and you know exactly why. No one could put up with Amy for that long and not die inside.

"What're you doing here?" Amy asks rudely, and you give her a small, tight-lipped smile.

"Just shopping." You say.

Charlie greets the both of them and then you both part ways. As you walk around, you notice that whenever Jack sees you two, he frowns a little.

The next day...

Jack: hey Y/N
Jack: can I talk to you

You stare down at the two messages for a few seconds before answering.

You: sure
You: what's wrong?

It takes only a few seconds for Jack to answer you, and when he does, you can't help but be a little surprised.

Jack: I've been stupid
Jack: Amy's not a good person
Jack: the bruise was makeup :/

You laugh softly to yourself in victory before replying.

You: well duh
You: I wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone a rat like her

Jack: yeah lol
Jack: I know that now
Jack: can we be friends again?

Of course, you accept.

A few weeks later...

You, Jack and Charlie had become good friends over the past few weeks, always appearing in videos together, and always laughing together.

Amy had tried to contact Jack again, but she was blocked after her second time trying.

Your reconciliation with Jack took a bit of time, but now you were as close as before, and nothing was getting in your way again.

You and Jack are the perfect team, and the best of friends, a bond you're not giving up so easily.
