Jamie sighed as she tried to calm her nerves. Her leg bouncing up and down under the table as she sat in the restaurant. She looked around again as she cracked her knuckles.
When she was looking in the parking lot, the chair opposite her slides out. She jumps when she turns to them. She sighs in relief when they sit.
"You okay?" Jack chuckles as he sets his food aside
"Yeah." She breathes out
He rests his arms on the table, "What's up?"
"So, I wanted to talk to you about the whole Miguel thing." She says using her hands as she talks
"Yeah." He sips his drink
"I got the chance to tell him how I feel." Jack nods motioning for her to continue, "And it turns out he feels the same way."
"Well, that's good." He smiles as he pulls his food out
"Yeah," She says, "but I feel bad."
"Why?" He frowns
"Because I don't want you to think I was using you as a distraction or anything. I genuinely liked the time we spent together."
"I know." He nods, "I did too, but now you get to spend that time with Miguel."
Jamie smiles softly before she sips her drink.
"And if you want, we can still hang out. You know as friends."
Jamie nods, "Yeah, of course."
"Okay." He says. He holds his fist out to her. She rolls her eyes as she fist bumps him, "Bro."
"That was cringy." She chuckles as she eats a fry
"Very cringy actually." He grimaces as he looks away. Jamie laughs as she shakes her head.

Sienna and Jamie sat in the latter's room. Jamie talking to Sienna about what happened with Miguel.
"And to think I thought you'd be lonely forever." Sienna teases
"That's so supportive. I really appreciate that." Jamie nods sarcastically
"No, but I'm actually happy for you. You deserve to be happy after everything that happened."
Jamie smiles, "Awe, Sienna."
"Ew, okay. That's enough of that." She cringes. Jamie laughs. Her phone dings from her side table. She reaches over to get it.
Hey, could you meet me at Sam's house? I know how it sounds, but I swear it's important.
"What are you getting me for Christmas? If it's something bad, I'm just letting you know now that I will return it if I can." She looks over as she realizes Jamie isn't responding.
