Alternative Chapter 46 & 47

ALTERNATIVE CHAPTER?!!????!?

I had no plans to do this but someone commented (@mjjoy08) about another way the chapter could have gone and I loved it a lot

At first I just joked that I was gonna write an alternative chapter with that idea but then the more I thought about it I actually DID wanna really write an alternative chapter and I think it was such a good idea so HERE WE GOOOO

I was trying to think about how I could incorporate their idea into the main chapter but I couldn't find any way that it would line up and then was like wait I can't just make an alternate chapter and then I was like oh wait dude this is wattpad I can do whatever I want SO ANYWAYS BAHAH

THANK U THANK U to @mjjoy08 literally complete and total credit to them for this idea I had no plans to write this chapter / didn't have this idea at all so thank miss girl for this
we <3 u

This is continuing right before Ameeriah gets out of Jackson's car and heads to her dorm in the rain. In this chapter, Jackson DOESN'T call Max immediately & DOESN'T run out to tell Ameeriah. He heads back to his apartment. Anyways ok let's get on w it

Jackson

The entire drive back to the dorms is quiet.
I don't know what to say and I'm too busy wracking my brain for somehow I can prove that I didn't send that message and that I sure as hell didn't cheat on her.

When I park, I glance over at her and the wet hair she still has from the rain.
Before she gets out, she turns to me. "For the record," she pauses. "I wanna believe you Jackson."

I fumble my hands together as I look into her eyes.

"I'm gonna talk to the people there and I'm gonna prove to you that I didn't do this," I say lowly, in basically a whisper. I can feel my eyes start to form tears as I swallow and force them away.

She nods her head slowly with sad eyes before turning and opening the car door and I feel my heart breaking as she shuts the door again. The rain sounds are muffled once more.

Watching her back, walking away from the car, walking away from me, crumbles me.
"Fuck!" I shout to myself as I hit the steering wheel.

By the time I get back to my apartment I literally feel like complete and total shit.

I feel fucking exhausted, I haven't slept much in those 2 days before and there's no fucking way in hell I'm sleeping now.
The back of my throat is burning from holding back the tears in my eyes.

By the time I get into the dim apartment, I don't even make it to my room, I just plop on the couch.
My mind is spinning and spinning and spinning. I don't even realize how exhausted I am until I wake up 20 minutes later, after dosing off for a second.

As soon as I jump up awake, my stomach drops when I realize that Ameeriah thinks I fucking cheated on her. And right now I have zero ideas on how to prove to her that I didn't.

I'm about to lose I'm girl I'm in love with over something I didn't even do.
My breathing starts to quicken when I realize just how much she means to me, and how much it's hurting that I may lose her.

My heart starts to beat faster as I try and think about how Ameeriah must feel. She was so fucking hurt by Ryan cheating on her with her best friend, she lets her guard down for the first time, and now she thinks I cheated on her.
