Jealousy || Jenna Ortega x Reader [GP]

Part 12

Jenna's POV

It was now the Monday after the party and I still feel sick to my stomach every time I think about Y/N and what she did to me. She used me in that restroom and then she probably used that as leverage to finally get her kiss with Natalie. I thought we had something. I should've known better. This has always been one-sided. I mean for crying out loud, it was just an agreement. Everything was fake.

In only a day, I've managed to revert back to my old ways—Logan and I have gotten back together. I know I shouldn't be comparing them, but the way Y/N used to treat me was so much better. This morning when Logan and I arrived at school, he didn't even bother to wait for me to step out the car.

I don't know why I got back with him. I don't know what to do anymore.

Logan suggested I use the restroom before class started, I guess he remembered I tend to pee a lot during class. He never really seemed to care before, maybe this is a fresh start for us.

I get to the door of the restroom and push it open, only to see something that triggered flashbacks to Saturday night. Y/N and Natalie were making out. I feel my chest tightening as a let out a pathetic, "I'm sorry," then ran off. I run as far as I can away from them.

I guess her and Natalie are together now. It's time for me to move on.

For the next 3 days after school, I would hear my family slamming the door every day around 5 p.m. I assumed it was Y/N, but my parents wouldn't tell me. She hasn't even texted or called. I wanted to see her, to hold her, but I knew my heart couldn't handle anymore of her lies.

A week has passed and the visits from Y/N stopped. There's also been rumors around school that Natalie dumped Y/N. I don't know whether to feel happy or sad. I wonder how she's been. I see her in the hallway sometimes—my heart skips a beat every time and I hate it. We would make eye contact and it always seemed like she would try to approach me, but Logan would always redirect me in another direction.

I miss her. Does she miss me too? What am I talking about? Logan and I are together again. He's been... okay. We've been working on our relationship and he's been improving... I guess.

The bell for lunch rang and Logan had texted me to pick up a few books for him at the library since he had to stay behind in class. I guess he got in trouble again.

As I make my way around the library to look for the books he asked for, I notice a girl sitting on the floor in a secluded area of the place. I take a few steps closer and I recognize that it was Natalie. She was crying with her legs to her chest and her forehead on her knees.

I should just walk away. Walk away, Jenna. This girl ruined your chances with Y/N. As I'm staring at her on the ground, I begin to think.

She didn't know about the agreement we had. She was just a girl who developed feelings for her best friend. Y/N and I weren't really together. Y/N wanted her and she used me to get to her. Natalie's not the bad guy here. Y/N and I were—we tried to fuck with her feelings... and it worked. And now she's crying in the library because of it.

I take a few steps closer and sit down with her. "Hey, Natalie? Are you okay?"

She sniffles as she looks up, "Hey, Jenna. I don't know. Things are kinda fucked right now."

"Do you wanna talk about it?" I offer her a shoulder to cry on.

"Not really. I could really use a friend right now though."

"Oh, okay. Is there anyone you can call? Or I can go get them for you," I suggest feeling awkward because she didn't want me around. To be fair, if I were her I wouldn't want me around either.

"No, that's okay. You can stay," she smiles at me.

I now see why Y/N liked her so much. Natalie was a pretty girl and her smile was just as gorgeous. I sit with her as she eventually started to feel comfortable talking.

"I know what you and Y/N did," she spoke.

I look at her in shock. How did she know? Only person I told was Logan which I'm starting to regret.
"W-what?"

"It's okay, Jenna," she rests her hand on my knee, "I know that it was Y/N's idea. She's calculated like that. Everything she does, she thinks it through. She knew what she was doing," she sighs. "It broke my heart finding out. I couldn't stand the sight of her anymore. I felt deceived. And manipulated."

My heart aches for her. I completely understand, I thought.

"I don't mean to offend you, but what took you so long to realize your feelings for her? Didn't she write you a letter months before?" I asked.

"Yeah, but it didn't take until you came in the picture for me to realize. I'm so dumb. I loved her," she looks down, "I'm sorry for all the horrible things I've said or done to you. It isn't me."

I put my hand on hers, "It's okay. I guess we both had our faults. Let's just forgive and move on," I smiled.

"Yeah, let's do that," she smiles back.

Natalie and I have gotten closer in a matter of a few days. She's a really sweet person, but she can be a bit impulsive. We went to the mall together one evening and I guess she noticed I was looking at some black lingerie. So she bought it for me behind my back. I found it strange since it was a crazy amount of money and we just became friends.

All she wants to talk about is how awful Y/N is and it never sits right with me. I mean they were friends for years and it's just amazes me how so much can change so fast.

I still think about Y/N, but no matter how much I tell myself to move on—I know I can't.
