Chapter 13

*Jamie's POV*

It's been 2 weeks since I had that talk with Jack. Now he's calling in an "emergency" and its "urgent" so I have to be there. Being a friend of his, I flew back. I'm staying at Cam & Nash's place for the time being.

"Do you guys know what this is about? Why am I here?" I asked.

They both looked at me, "You mean... no one told you?" Cam asked.

"James, G and Madison are dating now. They've been dating for a while now." Nash told me.

"Bloody hell. And no one wanted to tell me?"

"'Bloody hell'?" Nash laughed.

"Answer the question." I demanded.

Cam looked at me, "Listen, I know you like him-"

"Liked." I interrupted.

"YOU WHAT? AND NO ONE WANTED TO TELL ME THIS?!" Nash screamed.

"Chill bro. Apparently, she wants to have a 'talk' with all of us."

"Why?"

"She knows that we don't like her. Gilinsky hasn't been hanging out with us much since they've started dating."

"I'm sorry, Nashley. Well, when's this dinner."

"Tonight. We finally get to see him again." Nash told me.

"Wait, I just got here like... 4 hours ago. Now I'm supposed to smile as if I'm not tired? No, in that case, I'm not going."

"Then why'd you fly out in the first place." Cam asked.

"If I knew that it was gonna be something tonight, the night that I fly in, and it involves Madison, then I'm not going. I'm not a fan of her."

"We know that. Come on, we're all going. You didn't fly out here for nothing. Right? Now go get ready, we leave in 20 mins." Nash said.

"WHAT?! UGH I HATE YOU ALL." At this point, I was irritated. He should've just told me the truth instead of calling in an "emergency". Why'd he lie to me again? It's constant lies. One after another and I'm sick of it. I need to get things off my chest. Tonight, however, I have to hold everything in. Because I'm doing this for my friend. I don't even want to be here anymore. God, Gilinsky.

"Jamie?" Johnson called, "Are you dressed? I don't wanna come in and your half naked."

"Come in, Jack." I laughed.

We hugged for a while, "When did you get in? Why didn't you call me and tell me to pick you up?"

"I figured you'd be with Jack, and he would've kept bugging you asking who was on the phone if I did."

"Meh, we haven't been talking lately. The house is lonely. He's been staying at Madison's since the night of the argument doing who knows what."

"I hope he knows what he's getting himself into." I scoffed.

"Come on, let's get going. We should get there before they do."

"Are we carpooling with Cam and Nash?"

"No, they said they'll be there a little later."

"Then why did they tell me 20 minutes?"

"Because you girls take forever to get ready."

"I beg to differ, when they told me, I went up and got ready, when you came it had only been 10 minutes. And it's not because I spent 10 minutes looking for something to wear, thought I'd give myself sometime to unpack."
