Like I said before. Waking up the next morning after finding out some heartbreaking news is always the worst. This time I didn't get out of bed. I didn't have a reason to. I layed in my bed and cried all day. I loved him so much ,but maybe it was time to move on. It was time to be  happy and love myself more than I loved him. My phone was buzzing all day with texts from everyone but Jack. Even if he did try to talk to me I wouldn't know because Nat blocked his number in my phone. I doubt he would try anyway. He was probably out with his new beautiful Fiance. She tweeted a picture of them kissing this morning. She was holding his perfectly structured face and kissed his beautiful lips. I wish it was me who was kissing him once again. My phone buzzed and this time I was interested in replying.

3:30 p.m.

From: Derek C.

Subject: Are you free tonight?

Hey gorgeous. Are you doing anything tonight around 5:30? If not can I pick you up for dinner?

I couldn't  help but smile. Yes. I said to myself. Yes you can Derek.

To:Derek C.

Subject: 5:30

yes! most def. see you then (:

I got my sorry self out of bed and jumped into the shower. By the time I got out it was already 4. I straightened my hair quickly and did natural makeup. I quickly pulled on some lace shorts and tank top and found the sandals Nat bought me and put the pendant Margo gave me on.

"Hey mom- OH! Hey you got here early." I put on a fake smile and hugged Derek hello.

     "Yeah I figured I would come by and ask your parents if it was okay that I took you out." He smiled wrapping his arm around my waist.

                  "I think I am staying at Nat's tonight so I will check in with you when I get there is that okay?"

                   "Yes but  you better have your ass at Natalie's house."  My dad yelled from the mancave in the basement.

My mom opened the front door for us then closed it as we stepped out.

            "You know, if this is your natural look and daily look you are more stunning than I imagined." He smiled at me while opening the passenger side door.

              "Thank you. I did put up on makeup though. Nothing too heavy bu-"

"Yeah okay so I was thinking Mexican food tonight?" He cut me off.

He really just cut off what I was about to say. Whatever though I was about to finish the sentence anyway.

By the time we got to the restaurant it was already busy being it was Friday night at 6:00 p.m. it was happy hour.

       "Hello there!" The waitress greeted us, "Two?"

"Yes please." He smiled.

"Right this way." She guided us to the booth diagonal from two familiar faces.

Jack Johnson and Jack Gilinsky.

GREAT.

I knew they were both looking my way.

"Ladies first." Derek glanced at me and let me past him into the booth.

Don't look that way Dylan don't look that way.

The whole night they were looking at us. Once we were done with our food Derek scooted a little closer to me and put  his hand on my thigh.

"You know, I feel like your beauty never gets appreciated enough." He smiled at me.

Derek placed his hand torwards my upper thigh.

"What are you doing?" I asked him and pushed his hand away.

          "Come on. We are in a booth nobody is going to see, and even if they did nobody would care." He smiled and leaned in to kiss my neck.

          "Get off me Derek." I said quietly yet stern.

He continued only this time he tried to put his hand in my shorts.

"DEREK. GET OFF ME!" I pushed him off as hard as I could. He fell off the booth onto the floor. Everyone turned and looked.

          "What the fuck." He stood back up and sat down , "Don't ever degrade me like that agai-"

         "Who the fuck do you think you are talking to." This time it wasn't me. It was Jack and next to him it was Johnson.

         "Who the fuck are these pricks?" Derek laughed and snarled at me.

"Get up dipshit. Leave her alone. Get up and leave." Jack grabbed Derek's collar.

"Get the fuck off me." Derek shoved Jack's hands off.

The next thing I knew Jack's arm went flying and BOOM Derek's nose popped. There was blood everywhere.

"Try again bitch." Jack looked him sternly in the eye.

"Take her home cause the hoe isn't getting into my car." Derek shoved people out of his way holding his nose and walked out.

             I looked at Jack and Johnson with tears in my eyes.

"Dylan I had to. I couldn't let him treat you so poorly." Jack looked me in the eyes.

"No Jack, you didn't. Why did you even say anything? It wasn't your place to say shit. I can handle things on my own okay? I don't need you just like you don't need me."  I replied to his comment.

        " I will say it again okay. I couldn't let him treat you so poorly."

"Yeah well. You don't treat me any better. Go take care of your fiancé why don't you." I got up, "Johnson can you take me to Nat's?"

                "Yeah sure thing, ight man i'll see you around. Hit me up tomorrow." He did his handshake with a sad Jack Gilinsky and walked with me out to his car.

It was 10:30 when I got to Natalie's. I used her house phone to tell my parents I was there so they didn't flip out.

 "So wait. He just showed up and punched him?" Natalie looked surprised actually looking up from her phone for a second.

                "'Yes! Like who does he think he is trying to stand up for me?" I replied shoving another cheeto puff in my mouth.

   "Okay look at this video Margo sent me on snapchat." Nat came running to me before the video's time ran out.

            "What the fuck Madison why would you say that shit?" You can hear Jack in the back ground of her and Johnson acting like they are taking a picture.

That is something about Johnson I have always liked. He was always down for me and Jack to be together.

    "Because baby. Let's just go upstairs and forget about it ok? It will all die down soon." She tried to sound seductive.

       "No Madison get off." The bedroom door opened and out came a pissed off Jack.

The video ended.

    "What do you think they were talking about?" I asked standing up and re-arranging my spandex and t-shirt.

                "I don't know? What did you say to him tonight?"

"Well I mentioned the engagement." My eyes opened wide. That is exactly what they were arguing about. They weren't engaged. That stupid bitch lied. That is why in the picture of them kissing I couldn't see an engagement ring.

                    "It all makes since! Why in the world would Jack propose to somebody who is 16?" I laughed. I was still upset because I missed him and he broke my heart.

My phone buzzed.
