The Best Bad Luck

Chapter 9

Please read authors note at the end.

After a while Tom and Dan went back inside leaving me alone on the driveway. After about 10 minutes of me making up nicknames for characters on a show, Jack and Amber come marching out (still arguing). Deciding to be the one to separate them I get up and stand in front of them. "Sex!" I yell causing them to turn around with bewildered stares "now that I have your attention. You either need to calmly sort this out, or take a day to cool off." I explain (using my hands to much) "fine" Amber harshly agrees, turning around and stomping off.

"She's making such a fuss about this!" Jack exclaims walking into his bedroom, "look at it from her perspective" I say following him, "I mean she's trying to have the same relationship as you used to-" Jack slams his door in my face cutting me off mid sentence "or you could just not listen to me and slam a door in my face.... Good plan." I sarcastically mutter.
I decided to read for a while, when I got a text from an unknown number 'hey this is Amber. wanna hang out?' Normally I would've said no, but I feel I owe it to her after almost ruining her relationship, besides she might be a good friend.

I sat awkwardly in a Starbucks sipping on a frozen coke I got from a nearby Doughnut King, "hiiiiiii!" Amber greets me enthusiastically. We talk for a while before we start shopping. I found out she doesn't mind some punk music, she likes bright colours, and prefers movies over books. Honestly we don't have much in common, but that doesn't seem to matter to her. Of course she bitches about Jack, I mostly tune that part out though.

"Where were you? Got a hot date?" Tom teases when I get back "I was with Amber" I roll my eyes at Tom, without saying anything Jack gets up and goes to his room, "what's up with him?" I ask and Tom shrugs "take a wild guess! *cough* Amber *cough*" I laugh at how awful his fake cough sounded.

Around midnight I knock at Jack's door, after hearing a muffled 'come in' I push the door open and stand arms crossed in the doorway, "yes?" Jack asks and I move in a little shutting the door behind me "what's going on?" I ask sitting down on his bed "I don't know what you mean" Jack try's playing innocent "oh don't give me that crap. Why were you so upset when you found out I was hanging out with Amber" I demand and Jack lets out a big sigh, "I broke up with Amber while we were fighting-" my eyes widen a little as I try to think if Amber mentioned something about it, I knew I shouldn't have zoned out! "-And I know that Amber can bitch when she's mad" "that still doesn't explain it" I urge him to go on "and I didn't want you to... to get the wrong idea about me." Jack finishes explaining. "Jack, you are one of the sweetest guys I know, no matter how many bad things Amber told me that wouldn't ever change how I saw you. Anyway why would you care what I think of you?" I question and Jack averts his eyes from mine. Wait he doesn't... Does he?
Jack looks up at me again, looking into my eyes he starts to lean in. Our lips meet and I immediately close my eyes, the kiss only lasts a couple of minutes before we both pull away.

Hi, so I'm back! I'm not going to explain why I was gone, or apologise. But I'm back!
Sorry if there any errors, I couldn't be bothered editing (whoops).
Also I have changed my username from Maybe02 to Mental_As, and I have to change the book cover, so I figured 'why not see if any readers want to do it' so if you're interested in making any covers for any of my books please private message me so we can figure out the details!
Thanks for reading!
