Forbidden-Jack Gilinsky

Ch 9

Jack Gilinsky POV

A whole month, I watched Shawn entice Zoey. I needed a way to separate them, but I couldn't think of anything. Johnson would always give me a look, the one he gave me every time Shawn hugged Zoey or if they held hands. I would always shrug, but I just wanted to see what it would feel like to be in his place. She'd smile at me and Shawn would take her away. She never had time for anything or anyone else, not even Vicky or Logan. Now that she's been distant, I've seen Logan and Vicky just stare at the new "perfect" couple. I don't even know why Shawn's still here, his tour ended two weeks ago.

That's when I felt something light hit my head. I groaned and looked down at whatever hit me. On the floor, was a piece of paper with something written on it. I looked up and saw Vicky motioning with her hand for me to pick it up. I opened the note and saw what it read:
Please help me get Zoey back.

I wrote back telling her to meet me when the lunch bell rang, I looked back at her and saw her nodding her head smiling.

"What can we do?" Vicky paced back and forth with wide eyes.
"Ok maybe you should calm down first" I said cracking my hands.
"Sorry, Shawn is just getting on my nerves" she said placing her fake fingernail between her teeth. "It's just, I mean it's Shawn," she extended his name and looked outside the window where Shawn talked to someone. I looked back and forth between Vicky and the clear glass window.
I gasped when I realized what was going on,"You.But.Sam"

"What about Sam" she shrugged and got some money out to pay for food.
"You fucking like Shawn!" I blurted out sounding angrier than I hoped.
"No. Just." she tried explaining. "I guess," she shrugged again.
"Is that why you've been so distant with Sam?" for what seem like the millionth time, she shrugged again. Instead of saying something stupid again, I shook my head and calmed down."We need to focus on this problem anyways."
She pursed her lips and nodded her head in agreement.

After getting our food we discussed on how we would break them up. After arguing a few times on who's plan we'd use, we finally came up with a compromise.

Vicky POV

I guess I was doing this today.
The same thought ran through my head over and over again, until I reached Sams locker. He stood there smiling with his arms open for me and I gladly took them. I felt him secure me but with one hand he rubbed my back. I guess I didn't realize I was crying
until I heard my small sobs.
"What's wrong babe" Sams worried whisper only caused me to feel worse.

I had the sudden boost of confidence when I saw Shawn picking up his shorts and smiling at Zoey,"We need to talk"
Sam took a deep breath and looked outside, where I was looking. "That fucking bastard."
"Look Sam, you've been the best boyfriend and I couldn't have asked for anyone better but-"
"You don't have to spare my feelings, we're over, I get it." I jumped as he slammed his locker and walked away from me. Instead of feeling relieved and ready to explore, all I felt was complete guilt and regret.

Jack Gilinsky POV

The day was finally over and I could finally go home after what felt like forever. As I was about to drive off, a familiar car honk called me. I looked at the rear view mirror and saw Zoey climbing out of her car. My breathing got heavier and I got too excited, so I cleared my throat and got out of the Jeep.
"What do you want" my voice came out stern. A little meaner than intended but, it worked.

"Yeah, you never fixed my car" she crossed her arms and stuck out her right hip.
"Why don't you just ask your rich ass boyfriend to fix it for you" I chuckled and imitated her position. She got uncomfortable and walked closer to me,
"You said you'd fix it, so you better fucking fix it" she bruised me with every word, literally she poked me so hard I'm probably bruised.
"It's just a little scuff mark" I scoffed and was about to head back inside my car.
"Well in a month you managed to bang up the back of it to, or do you not remember that?" She gripped onto my arm and turned me around. I let out a sigh of defeat and told her to follow me.

When we got to my uncles repair shop she looked surprised.
"What you've never seen Gilinsky's own repair shop?" She shook her head looking guilty, which only made me laugh and nudge her in the arm. "My uncle's out on vacation, so he let me take care of the place until he gets back"
"Nice to know you do something, other than fuck girls 24/7" she chuckled and walked around. Usually I would have been offended by something she said, but I've had good times here.
"I might as well check up on your entire car. You know for safety." I tried sounding nonchalant.
"It's a Prius, there's not much to check" well my plan failed,"But fine" I turned around and bit my lip. She noticed me and rolled her eyes, but I knew I got her. She always put a strand of hair behind her ear if she was nervous.

This was the perfect time to begin the plan.
