chapter 42🎀

NO ONES POV

jack pulled up and eliza got in the car, chris instantly regretted it when he drove off.

why didn't he tell her he didn't want to go?

why did this girl have such a hold on him?

and it was because he liked the girl, hell he probably loved her. but he didn't know that yet, he just knew he had a crush on her.

ELIZA'S POV

jack was here to pick me up, and gosh was i nervous. i didn't even want to see him in the first place. seriously, fuck you chris. why did we have to argue? if we didn't then i wouldn't be in this position. why did i have to be so pathetic that i wanted to make him jealous? when i probably have with kai, oh my gosh, i've forgot about kai.

"sooo" i say dragging out the car and sucking air through my teeth, "what are we doing?" i ask jack, avoiding looking at him.

his car was the same as it was in highschool, except now, it smelt like vanilla. because of the air freshener, and it also smelt like cigarettes. so i assume he smokes now.

"beach?" he asks me and i nod, i've been alone to the beach with three different boys now. is this like a common spot for boys and girls to hang out or go on a date?

we arrive at the beach and i get out the car, he walks by me and leads me to a red and white checkered picnic blanket with frayed edges. it has a flower vase in the middle and a picnic blanket in one of the corners, did he think this was a date?

"oh my gosh, did you think this was a date" i say putting my head in my hands and shaking my head, i look up and jacks eyes were wide, he immediately starts shaking his head.

"oh my gosh no, no! definitely not. you told me it wasn't a date. it's a i-cheated-on-you-in-highschool-and-i-am-sorry hangout!" he says smiling at the end, i also smile because he cared so much. maybe he has changed.

i take a seat and so does he, "want a sandwich?" he asks putting his hand into the basket and i nod, "i made like two different types, cheese and pineapple because apparently it's nice and refreshing. and incase we don't like those i made blt's" he says and i scrunch my face up at the cheese and pineapple.

"i'm gonna try a cheese and pineapple, want one" he asks and i hesitate, "you know what, fuck it. yeah pass me one please" i say and he smiles getting two sandwiches out of the basket, "okay, at the same time?" he asks and i nod

i unwrap the sandwich and we both hold them up to our mouths, he counts down and we take a bite. "ew!" i say covering my mouth, struggling to push down the bit of sandwich i'm chewing.

jack furrows his brows at me, "you don't like it?" he asks taking another bite and i put the sandwich down shaking my head, "i might be sick, can you pass me a blt please?" i say and he nods getting a sandwich out the basket and passing it me.

after an hour

it was now around five pm and me and jack were packing up the stuff so we could drive home, "did you enjoy it?" he asks and i nod, "it was fun" i say giving a small smile.

he now walks infront of me, he looks down at me and holds my hand. i felt like taking it away, but i didn't. it was nice, i didn't like him, i just liked how much he'd changed. he was no longer a self cantered dick.

"look, eliza. i'm sorry i was such a dick in highschool, can you forgive me?" he asks and i look up at him, "yes,jack" i say and he smiles, i then hug him and he hugs back.

me and jack walk back to the car and he drops me off, it was a nice, good time.

CHRIS'S POV

i had been nervous ever since eliza left, what was going on between her and eliza?

i knew i was going to have to tell her how i felt before we left. we had eleven days left, so i had to think of how to tell her and everyone else.

everyone else was going to be first.

and i decided that was right now.

"guys?" i speak up from the sofa in the lobby and all of them look at me, "i think i like eliza" i say. i was basically only telling cami and madi as nick and matt already knew.

"oh, okay" madi shrugs looking back down at her phone and so does cami, "you guys don't care?" i ask and they look up at me and then at nick and matt, "you guys told them?" i exclaim and they all look away from me, "guys!" i raise my voice and they both just laugh at me.

i roll my eyes and scoff, i then sit back.

"how you gonna tell her?" cami asks me and i put my full attention on answering that question, "i don't actually know" i think for a little bit, "i have eleven days, i'll think of something"

"you wanna tell her here?" madi asks me and i nod, "well, it's hawaii. she loves it here, it will be perfect" i say and she smiles at me, "that's so cute" nick replies and i look at him, "you got any ideas?" i ask and matt looks at me, "buy her loads of stuff she loves" he shrugs.

"i'll ask ella" i say and they all ignore me.
