Untitled love song

Chapter 20

Panic rushed over me.

I couldn't even think about how mad I was at Jessie's slip of the tongue.

All I could think of was, Henry.

Jessie you better fucking fix this.

I glared over in Jess' direction and she got the message.

"Yeah? Y'know because you two have kissed twice? And I've been here both times?"

"But you weren't here the first time?" God Henry was better than I thought.

"But I was when you leant in again? Or were you too busy looking into my best friend's 'world eyes' "

I smiled. Jess worked well under pressure.

"But then why did you say in the past week?"

Jessie sighed, "Ok if you really must know, and I wasn't going to say anything because Scar doesn't know I know but..."

I raised my eyebrows in alarm. Jessie was there when Jack and I kissed? So where's she going with this?

"Yesterday, before we left Scar's house, Scar was up in her room getting her phone or glitter or something, and everyone was in the car ready to go and waiting for her, I said I'd go get her but Jack insisted. But then he was taking forever too so I went to go find out what the two of them were doing..."

I felt Henry tense next to me.

"So I went up to Scar's room to find Jack and her talking, well mainly Jack talking about wanting to get her back, but she wasn't having any of it, and that's when he leant in and oh my gods I have never seen a girl dodge someone so quickly."

I laughed remembering.

"So that is why I said that." Jessie folded her arms in triumph as Henry put his arm around me.

"Hey. You ok?"

"Just pissed off at Jack, why does he think he can do that?" Henry seemed genuinely angry and I was surprised.

"Because he's a dick. But in all honesty who cares? I'm happy and I hope you're happy."

"What? Of course I'm happy girl."

Henry kissed me lightly making the butterflies emerge before looking up at Jessie apologetically.

"I'm sorry I was rude to you Jessie."

"Hey hey it's fine, as long as you take care of my girl I'm happy."

"It's a promise."

I felt my whole body filling with warmth. I didn't know people could be this happy. One things for sure, I was never letting this happiness go.

"Scar? Did you hear me?" Henry grabbed my hand.

"Mmm?"

"I said the bands about to start! Come on otherwise we're going to lose Jessie!"

And with that I was up and running after my best friend.

"Ouch Jess that's my foot!"

"Oopsie sorry Scar..."

We were in the middle of a mosh pit watching some Rasta band play remakes of Bob Marley songs.

I looked up at Henry and smiled before looking to the left of me and then the right, and then the left again.

"Oh no..." I muttered quietly.

"What?" Henry must've heard me.

"Jack."

"Shit."
