Isobel ;

Johnson was ahead of me as we tried looking for Jack. Where could he be? We checked the bar, the common area, and the dance floor.

We were going to check the back room now, but then Johnson stopped halfway there. He turned around, "maybe we shouldn't check the back room, why would he be back there?"

He sounded suspicious, so I was even more determined to check the back room. I pushed past him, as he tried stopping me.

It was too late, and I was already seeing the scene in front of me. Madison, Jack's ex girlfriend, had her tongue down his throat, and I saw it all through the window.

Tears fell from my eyes, and I ran out of the club. Johnson called my name, and it reminded me of when my dad had called my name just earlier. It had only activated the picture of the woman in my moms place, and then Madison. Why do people cheat?

What did I do to deserve such misery? Yes, I blamed Jack, but Madison was spiteful, and I wouldn't mind showing her whose boss.

I ran to a nearby ice cream shop in my flats, and after Johnson knew I wasn't going to stop, he let me go. At least he knew when to give someone space. Jack didn't seem to need space from Madison.

I ordered some ice cream, but realized I wasn't hungry, and declined it. I sat in a booth, and placed my chin in my hands.

"I know you probably want some space, but-"

I looked up, and saw Johnson. He took a seat across from me, and I sighed. I looked away, and he moved his head to face me again.

"Gilinsky's a jerk," he said, "if I could I would punch him right now."

"Thanks, but it wouldn't help with the image in my head," I muttered.

It was true, I kept thinking of the scene through the window. It looked like he was enjoying it, he didn't try and stop her. That's what hurt the most.

"I'm sorry."

"I don't know where to go," I told him, "I feel lost."

"What about your house?" He asked.

"I guess I should tell you."

He frowned at first, but then had a serious face. I took a deep breath, and started to explain.

"When I went to go change, I caught my dad with another woman," I said.

It hurt to say those words, and actually accept them. My mom doesn't know, but I don't know if I should be the one to tell her.

"I wonder what that must feel like."

"Betrayal," I said, saying the first word that came to mind.

"Does your mom know?" He asked.

I shook my head slowly, "it just happened."

I would probably have to tell her soon, and Johnson knew it, too.

"I think you should tell her, before someone else does," he said.

"I don't know if I can," I replied.

"Well, if you want I can drop you off at your house, your mom might be home now."

I nodded, "yea, it's best if I tell her now."

We leave the ice cream shop, and walk down the sidewalk to his car. That would mean going back to the club, so we walk across the street. Then I see him, and he sees me. I quickly get in the car, and then Jack comes to the window.

"Isobel," he said, "you didn't see-"

"I saw," I simply said, "I fucking hate you."

Johnson got in the drivers seat, and started the car. He grimaced at Jack, and put the car in drive.

"Where are you going with him, huh?" He demanded.

"None of your business."

After Johnson drove a few feet away, Jack shouted, "hoe!" I winced at his words, and sighed.

"You're not a hoe," Johnson said, and took my hand placing it between our seats.

"I decided I want to tell my mom tomorrow."

"I understand, you can sleep in the guest room," he promised. I smiled, and he drove smoothly through town till he got to his apartment.

He unlocked the door, and Jack was nowhere to be seen. Johnson gave me one of his big tees, and I changed into it. It was getting late, and after the whole mess today, I just wanted to sleep.

I was less then thrilled about waking up to see Jack having breakfast like nothing happened. At least that's how I imagined the morning, but I wasn't sure.

I knew one thing. He was a cheater, and cheaters don't deserve girls with hearts.
