*savannah's pov*
its now sunday morning, the day after everything happened. i woke up to my phone filled with text messages and phone calls from jack, nicole, steph, johnson, sam and julia. i still can't get the picture out of my head that jack looked so happy with her.
i'm really glad i was able to get this week off from work, steph and i planned to take nicole out for the week like going to the mall, beach, movies and just spend time with each other. i know i can't spend my whole week in my room crying but one day won't hurt.
i clicked onto jacks message forgetting i had read receipts on, now he will know i've opened them. all the messages consisted of "im sorry" or "baby please talk to me" or my favorite "i never meant to hurt you". words i've heard before. and to this day they still hurt me. i threw my phone back on my bed as i walked into my bathroom. i looked a mess. the bun from last night was everywhere. so i fixed it and made it look better.
i washed my face and brushed my teeth then made my way to the shower. too bad it's not hair wash day for me to let the water fall over me. once i'm done showering i put on a t shirt and my shorts. the shirt reached past my butt which was good. i put on deodorant and lotion and a small amount of perfume. i mean why not im not leaving my room, at least id smell good.
luckily i didn't wake up with a hangover or headache. i think the only thing that happened is my eyes were still puffy. i put some socks on and laid back in bed. i hear a soft knock at my door. nicole must've heard what happened.
"savs, it's me nicky.. can you let me in" she said softly. i smiled at the name she used. i couldn't ignore her. i get up and open the door slowly. she looked at me and pouted. once i saw her i instantly broke into tears. "it's okay savs talk to me. tell me what's on your mind. i'm sorry this is happening to you." she said softly. as she closes the door, she pulls me to the bed and i just laid back and cried.
"listen, i know you are mad at jack and i am too but he seems very upset about what happened. he's been blowing up my phone apologizing to me and to you." she says. i managed to hold in my tears and sat up looking at her. "nicole. you should've seen how he looked at her. he looked so happy. i did see her kiss him but i did also see him not pull away. and i think that's when i felt my heart shatter again. i've never been enough for guys." i said softly while crying. she rubs my back and hushes me.
"i know savs it hurts but never say you are not enough. you are more than enough. do not compare this to what happened with you know who. jack may have messed up but i know deep down he never meant to. he cares about you way to much." she says. i stayed silent.
"talk to him savannah, there has to be more to it than what you saw." she says softly. i nodded, maybe she forced herself to him and he played along with it so he didn't seem rude. but my heart hurts too much to talk to him.
"i love you too much to see you this way savs, i hate seeing you sad." she says as i see as tear slip her eye. i looked at her and hugged her tightly. "im sorry i ruined your birthday." i said softly. she chuckled and looked at me, "girl i had the time of my life. drinking and being with people i loved and even strangers made the my day even better. you could never ruin anything for me." she says.
her phone starts to ringing, when she looks down its sam. "i don't have to answer." she says. "no it's okay go ahead." i said.
"hi babe what's up?" she says to sam. she then puts her phone speaker, "have you talked to savs? is she okay? she's not answering any of our calls or texts." he sounds very worried. "i'm okay sam, thank you for checking in i just need time to myself." i said softly. "oh my gosh thank goodness im hearing your voice. i started freaking out." he says loudly. then i hear someone in the background say, "is that savannah? sam let me talk to her." i hear jack say softly.
i instantly hung up the call. "oh sorry i forgot that wasn't my phone.." i said chuckling a little. nicole looks at me and laughs. "i'll give you all the time you need. if you want to go with steph and i to the mall let me know and we can meet there." she says. "no i'm okay, you too have fun and catch up on missed times!" i said smiling slightly.
she nodded and hugged me again. "okay i love you, we won't be home till late. text me if you need anything." she says. i nodded and smiled. she walks out my room and i hear her grab her keys.
speaking of keys. i forgot i gave jack a spare key to my apartment since he gave me one for his house. i'm crossing my fingers he forgets.
a few hours have gone by, i've just been cleaning up my room and unpacking the pr packages i've gotten. until i hear the front door open. nicole said she'd come late? "nicole is that you?" i said from my room. "savannah it's me jack." he says softly.
my stomach drops. i didn't know what to do. "jack please leave." i said softly. "baby let me explain. open the door." he says knocking softly. if i don't then i'll never get the answer as to why he did what he did. i open the door slowly allowing him to come in. i see him holding a bag of wingstop.. then i remembered it's sunday. we usually get wingstop and watch movies.
"i know you're mad at me, but it's sunday. i can't forget about our new tradition" he says smiling slightly. i smiled and let him in. he set it on my vanity and came back to me. he hugged me which caught me by surprise, i didn't want to hug back but i did. "why did you do that jack... was i not enough for you? was i starting to bore you?" i said as tears started to pour.
he pulls away from the hug snd gently grabs my face to wipe my tears away, "never say that savannah. you are more than enough, i don't want you to ever think of yourself so low. you are perfect you are everything i've dreamed about. you could never bore me. you bring light to my life." he says still holding me. i looked down, i couldn't say anything
"listen savannah, that girl you saw was my ex. the one from two years ago. her and i have not talked since then, when we broke up she hurt me but sleeping with my friend of mine who i am not friends with anymore. she had been cheating the whole two years that we were together for some reason i felt stuck, i felt 16 again. i felt like she finally came back. but then i came back to life and hated her again. she kissed me but once i realized what she had done, i dismissed her. i only like you and only you savannah. we've been together for over a month and i was coming to terms that i actually was in love with you, i love you with everything in me. i never mean to hurt you, i hate myself for breaking my promise. but if you allow me to keep my word and never hurt you again." he says looking at me.
i can't believe jack told me he loved me. that he's in love with me. maybe what he did was his way of getting closure from his ex. although i wished it would've been in different circumstances, i can't lose jack. because my feelings for him are the same.
i'm in love with him. "i love you too. i forgive you jack." i said to him while pulling his face close to mine to kiss him. he instantly kisses back. "im still so sorry for making you cry. i never want that to happen again." he says hugging me. i nodded and hugged back.
"let's eat because one i'm hungry and two i bet the food is cold." i said chuckling. jack laughs and grabs the bag and places it on the bed.
