Between The Lines

Chapter 18

Jack: babygirl please listen to me

Jack: I made a stupid mistake accepting the dare but the thing is as the days I was with you passed I started to like you more and more.

Jack: if I didn't accept the dare, I wouldn't have met such a wonderful girl like you

Jack: I know it's stupid but I love you

Jack: even if I only dated you for three months

Jack: I don't care about the dare anymore, I just want you happy

Jack: I know you hate me. Everyone does

Jack: I don't know how I can ever forgive my self knowing you cried.

Jack: please reply

Jack: I sound so stupid right now but I fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly then all at once

Jack: ayyy tfios reference

Jack: sorry that wasn't the right time but please reply

Jack: I'm sorry

13 texts and 5 missed calls all from Jack. I wanted to reply and forgive but I can't. What if this is part of the dare? I can't have my heart broken.

"Knock, knock bitch. I'm coming in." Dylan said, walking in with a box of pizza.

"Hey." I said, getting up from under my covers.

"I brought pizza. Let's talk." He said, sitting down on my bed.

"Thanks but I don't know about talking about it."

"What happened?" He said as we each took a slice.

"Jack and my relationship was all a dare. He never liked me."

"You sure?"

"I think. Why?"

"Earlier today, I went outside to talk to him and he had tear stained cheeks and puffy eyes. Clearly from crying. He was broken. Trust me, I can tell he loves you. And did you ever see how he looked at you? Like the whole world paused except for him and you. You made him happy. It was a dare at first but he started to fall for you." Dylan said, finished up his slice of pizza and grabbing another slice.

"I don't know."

"Maybe it's you that's breaking his heart. I want you to talk to him." He said.

"I guess." I said, grabbing my phone.

"In person." He said, taking my phone.

"Ugh fine. I still don't know. He still hurt me."

"Yes I know. That's why I brought pizza. Let's put all this sad talk aside and enjoy this pizza." Dylan said making me laugh.

It was around 8 when I decided wether I should or not go talk to Jack. I got in car and drove to his house. I was still in my onesie but it didn't matter.

"You can do this." I said to myself as I knocked on his door.

"Mari?" Jack said, opening the door.

"Hi." I said. He looked horrible and it had only been 6 hours since it all happened. His eyes were puffy and pink from crying. His hair was a mess and he was only in sweats.

"I can't believe you came over."

"Yea. I need to talk to you."

"Oh uh come in." He said, letting me in. We walked upstairs to his room and he took a seat on his bed. I sat down on his desk chair.

"I don't hate you, far from that. I'm sorry, I should of listened to what you had to say but I thought you were going to lie and hurt me more. But when Dylan told me how you were when you were in the car, I noticed you were more hurt. And then the texts."

"I'm sorry." He said.

"I should be the sorry one. It's stupid how we only dated for three months but we're acting like we've been dating for years."

"Because it felt like that. Come here." Jack said. I went over to him and sat down. He put his arm around me and pulled me into a hug.

"I love you." I said, hugging back."

"I love you, too babygirl." He said, kissing my forehead.
