My heart began to flutter.
"He did?" I asked.
"He did." he said. I say up and turned my night stand light on.
"And? What did he say" I asked.
Johnson sat up and looked at me
"Look, I'm not gonna stand in the way of you being happy. Jack likes you. and he told me he's gonna do whatever it takes to make you his . I told him over my dead body. then he brought up the point that I'm dating Liv.. and how you're insanely supportive, and you never fail to be there for us. So, what I'm saying is... That if you want to date Jack... you've got my support 110%" he said. I looked up at him and sighed
"Look... Johnson. a week or two ago I would be thrilled to hear those words leave your mouth. But Jack has made me feel so fucking unwanted and stupid.. that as of right now. I'm good. but thanks" i said. Johnson ran his hands through his hair and sighed.
"I've known.. for a long ass time that he's liked you.. he's told me how pretty you are and stuff... but I just know him.. and I didn't want you hurt.. but he kept trying... and that showed me that he really likes you.. Because as we both know if Jack doesn't get a girl he moves on... take that into consideration okay?" He said. I bit my lip and nodded.
"Okay" I said. then we went to sleep
-----------------
I woke up the next morning and checked my phone. I had two messages, one from Manny and one from Jack. I clicked Mannys and began to read it
'Party was so fun last night baby! Practice at 12:30 today, showcase is a week away!' It read. I looked at the time. it was 10:50 so I should start getting ready. I opened jacks and read it
'I really hope you can forgive me, I'll see you later' it read. he sent it at 8 am. I groaned and got myself up to shower. after I did I threw on some leggings and a black nike sports bra.i grabbed a hoodie from my desk, my phone and threw my hair in a top knot. I made my way downstairs where Skate, Johnson, and Jack were sitting in the living room laughing. I put my earphones in, walked to the kitchen. I began filling my water bottle up. Ring off by Beyoncé was playing in my ears and I was tapping on the counter with the beat. I closed my bottle up and made my way to the living room.
"Johnson can you drive me to practice?" I asked. he shook his head
"Can't, dad took my car to get the brakes fixed." he said. I groaned
"I need to go to practice and the walk is insane." I said. Jack cleared his throat and I looked at him.
"Ill drive you" he said.
"It's fine." I said
"It wasn't a question. lets go" he said standing and getting his keys out of his pocket. I rolled my eyes and followed and heard skate and Johnson laughing. I got in the passenger seat and put both of my earphones in. Turning the volume up all the way. Jack started the car and began driving. For the first three songs he stood shut, but then he pulled my earphones out.
"Talk to me" he said. I stared at him
"What do you want me to say Jack?" I asked
"That you forgive me" he said, keeping his eyes on the road.
"That's rich. look Jack I said all I've had to say. You ruined it for yourself. I wanted you so bad! But you chose to stay with her! And it took me almost falling off of a boat for you to realize that you'd do whatever it takes for you to get me." I said. His grip on the steering wheel tightened.
"Look. it was a stupid mistake! I've been up all night thinking about you and everything. shit I've done this every single night for god knows how long! And now that I know that you feel the same way, I'm not gonna stop trying to get you. Because you're the only person I want... and you're the only person I want to be with." He said. his voice softening. I sighed and stared out the window and he pulled up at my dance place
"And just know... today is day one of me trying to get you " he said. I looked at him
"How many days are there?" I asked.
"As many as it takes..." he said kissing my cheek. I got out and rushed inside.

My mom picked me up from practice and we headed to Panera. we ordered, and sat down. I was texting what seemed like everyone, because they were asking me the dumbest questions. Fave break up song, White or red, fave jewelry style. Shoe size. the weirdest things.
"So. Jack huh" she said smiling. I sighed and placed my phone down
"Jack?" I asked
"He came and spoke to us.. you should give him a chance" she said. I groaned and laid my head on the table.
"Mommmmm" I said
"Liaaaaaa. just think about it" she said. I sighed and looked up
"I'll think about it."
-------------
I got home and showered. when I went to my room, I saw roses on my bed. I threw on a shirt and under clothes and picked them up.
"My favorite .." I whispered. looking at the white roses with admiration. I picked up the car next to them and sat them on my night stand. I sat cross legged on my bed and opened it. my hands trembling.
"I'll buy you flowers - Jack" it read. I blushed but I was insanely confused. what did flowers have to do with anything? I began looking through my messages and found one between Rae and I
Rae- fave break up song?
Me- definitely when I was your man. Bruno Mars is baeeeeee.
Rae- omg right! So I'm getting my mom flowers for her birthday, should I do white or red?
Me- definitely white.
Well that explained the roses. but what the hell does the song have to do with anything? I sighed and put everything away, then got ready for bed.

Fanfiction"Jack, we really shouldn't" I whispered. His lips made contact with the nape of my neck. "Johnson won't know, don't worry Lia" he said, taking my skin between his teeth and nipping slightly. I could hear the music in the background from my party. ...
