i waited until the morning to open maddie's message,  i felt a mix of emotions both nervous and mad.  i haven't talked to her since the whole thing went down,  this isn't the right time for her to come back in my life.  things with emma are going better than i ever expected,  now maddie is reaching out,  the worst timing.   

i woke up and reached for emma but she wasn't there,  i could hear movement in the other room so i know shes up.   but i needed to check maddies message,  so i opened up instagram.   i went to see my dm's and opened maddies message.


                                                                     maddiedawe

maddiedawe:  hey jack,  its been awhile.

madiedawe:   i know you miss me,  we should talk.

                                                                  jackhughes:  i'll pass thanks.

maddiedawe:  oh come on,  i made a mistake.

maddiedawe:  you know you love me.

                                                                                 jackhughes:  fuck you.

maddiedawe: you did that already,  i miss you jacky.

maddiedawe:  i heard your new girl is moving to new york 

and is modeling for vouge.  i'm sure we'll be great friends.


                                      jackhughes:  don't you even try shit maddie.

maddiedawe:  awh your no fun,  but i don't care.

maddiedawe:  i need you jacky,  please come visit me..

i had to put my phone down,  my heart started to race faster and faster.   talking to her made me want her again,  it brought up feelings that i promised myself i wouldn't feel again.   as horible as it sounds i wanted to talk to her again,  to be with her again...

before i could continue thinking about this whole issue emma walked into the room.  "i'm thinking about heading out soon, do you want to drive with me to new york?"  emma asks me.  "of course baby." i say with a smile,  i jump out of bed and put on some comfy clothes.   i couldn't tell emma about maddie,  i should but i can't.

today was the day,  i'm leaving my first ever apartemnt in new jersey and moving to new york.   i've always wanted to move there but not alone,  i'm sure everything will be okay but i'm still nervous.   it's a little more relaxing knowing jack is driving with me,  but he looked uncomfortable when i walked into the room.   

i made jack and i some breakfest and coffee and we enjoyed our last moments in my house.  this place is filled with memories,  a part of me questioned weather or not this is the right idea.  "i'm scared to leave this place."  i tell jack,  he looks at me from across the island table.  "you'll be okay,  i'll be there every fricken night." jack says,  i chuckle and take a sip of my coffee.  i hope that what he's telling me is true,  that he'll be over as much as he can.   


after a couple hours me and jack said our final goodbyes to the house before getting in jacks car,   the boxs with all my stuff should be already at the new apartment so i only had my one suitcase.    i watched as jack steped inside his car,  he always opened the door for me but he forgot.   i brush it off and hop in the car,  i suffle a random playlist what should last us the drive.

i look over at jack,  he focused on the road.   "are you okay?" i ask him,  he finaly meets my longing gaze.  "w-what, yeah."  i could tell he was lying,  ever since this morning something has been off about him.  "stop lying rowdy,  is this about mad-"  jack cuts me off before i could finish my sentence.  "don't emma,  seriously why are you so insecure."  my heart droped when those words came out of his mouth.  "w-what?"  i gulped,  i can't even mention her anymore without him getting pissed.  "all you talk about is maddie,  get over yourself." jack says,  i gasp.   

"why are you acting like this jack,  is it because you still love her?"  i say,  scared to know the truth.   jack doesn't respond to me, he keeps looking at the road. "perfect,  good to know."  i wanted to jump out of this fucking car,  i hated him so much.   i let him into my life,  i got ever lucas,  why can't he get over maddie.   

then i remembered,  i could've sworn i saw that maddie liked one of his posts with me.   i open up instagram and go to jack's recent post,   i look through the likes and just as i expected,  maddie had liked it.  "why did she like your post jack?  your cheating on me aren't you."  jack looks over at me,  his expression on his face was hard to read.  "i'm not fucking cheating on you emma and i don't know why she liked my post."  i wanted to believe him but it was so hard,  he really did love her.  "i know you love her jack, honestly its fine." i turn and look out the window,  i can feel jacks gaze but i ignore him.   i hear him sigh and his hand rests on my thighs,  i turn to face him.  "i'm sorry for saying that stuff,  rough morning."  jack apologizes,  i nod my head.  "wanna talk about it?"  i ask him,   jack shakes his head.  "nope all good." jack says with a smile,  but something about his smile was different.  it was like he was faking a smile to drop this convorsation,  but i didn't wanna fight anymore so i brushed it off.  I looked outside of my window as we crossed the bridge into new york city,  from a far i can see the massive buildings.   i know i'm going to love it here,  i've always known i was a city girl.   


we arrived at the apartment,  it was a huge building that must have at least twelve floors.   my apartemnt was on floor nine which happens to be my lucky number,   i was born on may ninth and nine has always been my favorite.   jack jumps out of the car and walks over to my side,  he opens the door and i smile.  "now you remember rowdy."  i mumble but he didn't hear me,  jack grabs my hand intertwining our fingers and we walk inside the doors.   

the lobby was very sleek and modern,  we walk over to the front desk to get my keys.   an old lady sat behind the desk,  i look at her name tag which read 'dolly'.  "hello love! how can i help you?"  dolly said with a sweet smile,  she reminded me a lot of my grandma donna.   "i'm emma bryant,  i just rented an apartment here."  i tell her,  dolly nods her head and types into her computer.  "perfect! well here are your keys emma,  your apartment 29 floor nine."  dolly says,  handing me my key card.  "thanks dolly!"  i say with a smile,  she smiles back.
