The second chance -JACK HUGHES

004

Abby:
I had no one else to call Brandon was acting crazy and my grandparents would never come out this late to get me. So I texted Jack.. I wasn't even sure if he would respond, especially after tonight.

Jack
Please come get me, Jack

Who is this?

He hadn't even saved my number, I guess after not texting back all those times he finally gave up

It's Abby. Read 3:27 am

Jack:
As soon as the saw her name I rushed to my car. She never would have to say anything else, I would always go get her.  I still had her location some how she must have forgot to turn it off, or maybe she wanted me to be reminded of her. I really don't know. She was only 20 minutes away from my apartment. I started my car and pulled out on to the highway.
I went as fast as I could.
I could care less what the speed limit is, I was going to get to her as fast as I could.
I got to a complex building, I'm assuming is were Brandon lives. I don't know what he did but I was going to kill him.

Abby:
I kept my location on for Jack, I always thought maybe he would come to my door and beg for forgiveness. He left me on read and it was almost 4 in the morning.

Jack
Where are you?

He came.

I'm in the bathroom. I tried to hide my tears knowing that he would kill Brandon if he saw them.

I heard a soft knock on the bathrooms door. It was Jack, no one else would be up so early. I walked out with red puffy eyes and mascara running down my face.

Jack
Abby

"Abby..." Jack said in almost a whisper

"This was a mistake" I started to back away but Jack walked towards me. I felt stupid I mean how could I think that this was a good idea.

"Abby please, let me help you" Jack whispered with a tear running down his face

"I can't, I jus-" I felt Jacks arms surround me. I cried into his chest. This was wrong, Brandon had every right to be mad.

"It will be ok Abby, I'm here"

"But you shouldn't be, if Brandon see you he will-"

"I don't care, I'm here for you, always"

I stand there shaking in jacks arms, he's comfort surrounding me as I breath in his sent. He had cheated on me and after everything I still had a soft spot for him.
I couldn't just forgive him like nothing had happened but it had been years, people change maybe Jack did.

"Abby we should go, it's late and I'm not leaving you hear with him"

I nodded in response, I wanted to fight back and tell him that texting him was a mistake, that I would go find a hotel to stay at and figure things out for myself.
Brandon had never done anything like this before, he would text in the Morning and tell me to come home, saying he missed me and was sorry.
But I didn't, Jack was here and unlike Brandon, he had never hurt me.

Physically at least.

We walked out to his car an awkward silence filling the air, things with Jack had never been awkward before I guess it really shows how long it had been. He pointed at a white jeep that was horribly parked on the side of the apartment complex.

"Great parking" I laughed trying to ease the silence

Jack laughed a little staring at his feet.

"I wanted to get to you as fast as I could" his face covering in a light blush.

Jack unlocked the car and opened the passenger door for me. I got in and he soon followed. We sat in silence for 20 minutes, while Jack drove around mindlessly. I wasn't sure where we were going or if Jack knew either.

"You know we should talk about it"

"About what?" I knew exactly what he meant, he meant everything, him cheating, Brandon, how everything fell apart, how I still showed up for him. I had wanted to tell him everything for months about what's been going on with school, my friends, anything. He was my best friend, my soulmate, but I was to stubborn to ever reach out. Jack hurt me bad, I have every right to be stubborn but I always wished I wasn't. I wished that I had folded and let him apologize and get back together with me. I wished that I never found out that he cheated, I wished we were 17 again and falling in love. But we weren't, and I couldn't change the past.
