jack 🤞🏻
u know u don't have to be the bigger person
god knows he's been a total asshole to u
angel grace 👼🏻
it doesn't matter jake.
i love him and i can't hurt him.
jack 🤞🏻
but doesn't he deserve it?
angel grace 👼🏻
that's besides the point
jack 🤞🏻

hurting him won't do anything
it won't fix anything.
it won't take away my broken heart.

GRACIE ROLLS HER EYES AT the excited smile on her friend's face as she gets in the car.
"you're so annoying, you know that?" she mumbles as she puts on her seat belt.
he simply shrugs as he backs out of the driveway and drives off in the direction of downtown l.a.
"so, where are we going?" jake asks in curiosity, after a few minutes.
gracie shrugs. "i don't know," she says, before a sudden craving for her favorite place hits her. "actually..." she trails off, an excited look forming on her face with a big smile.
"what?" he questions impatiently, wanting to know already.
she laughs at his impatience. "i'm thinking mcdonalds!"
jake rolls his eyes at her as he makes a turn to the parking lot of mcdonalds. "of course." he mutters, shrugging when she playfully shoves him.
"why? what's so wrong with mcdonalds?" she questions, raising her eyebrows at him.
he opens his mouth to explain his reasons, but thinks better of it.
and after a few more seconds, gracie realizes why he reacted that way.
"matt used to take me here all the time with his brothers and the rest of our friends..." her voice wavers as she confirms what they're both now thinking.
jake feels guilty now, knowing that the mention of matt recently has been hurting her a lot.
he turns to face her, just as they get to the drive-thru. "i'm sorry. i shouldn't have said anything."
she takes a deep breath, before turning to face him with a fake smile. "it's fine. don't worry about me."
jake opens his mouth to say something, but the person on the other side of the drive-thru speaker talks in their normal-welcome-speech, before asking for their order.
"just get me a pepsi and mcchicken." she murmurs quietly and he nods.
everything's quiet after he orders and they pull up to the window to pay and get their food.
needless to say, the conversation is pretty awkward and uncomfortable after that.
