I stood there like a statue my smile stretching across my face as I thought about what Jack said to me, he loves me…I love him or at least I think I do.
“What was that all about?” Jack asked walking in the room.
“I’m joining them on tour on the 4th…” I said waiting for Jack’s reaction.
“That’s great!” he exclaimed wrapping his arms around me. “I’m going to help you pack!” he said giggling and running to my bedroom.
“Jack please no! I don’t trust you!” I screamed playfully running after him. I entered my room to see Jack raiding my lingerie drawer I stood in the doorway shaking my head.
“What?” he asked innocently.
“I need real clothes to you know,” I scolded grabbing a handful of jeans and plopping it in the duffle bag.
“But why?” Jack pouted. “Come on Av live a little.” He said playfully pushing me.
“It’s better if I have clothes so he was to work for it!” I said winking at Jack who fell over laughing hysterically.
“Hey guys are you here?” Rian called Jack turned to me then the suitcase a worried expression fluttering over his face.
“We are in my room!” I called out to him. He quickly popped his head in the doorway his expression looking confused.
“Why the luggage?” he asked looking at me and then the suitcase that was still only packed with lingerie.
“I’m joining Jack on tour for a few days,” I explained watching a scowl grow on Rian’s face. Jack quickly shoved a stack of jeans into the bag trying to cut the tension that was quickly growing.
“Oh…umm that’s nice,” Rian said unemotionally.
“I know what you need!” Jack said running out of the room quickly I wanted to run after him so badly.
“How well do you even know this guy?” Rian barked at me.
“What the hell Rian? Yesterday you were all for my relationship and now this?” I barked back.
“He clearly only invited you to have sex!” Rian argued. I turned away from him hurt where was this coming from this wasn’t like him.
“Is that I’m fucking good for?” I asked my voice getting louder.
“I never said that!” Rian said defensively.
“You might as well have!” I yelled throwing a pillow at him. “And just so you know he told me he loved me!” I said watching as Rian’s faced turned from angry to hurt.
“I never meant to imply that…” he said quietly.
“Go home Rian, go be with Alicia…” my words were cold and unfeeling as I continued to shove things into my bag.
“Avery!” he begged.
“Rian please…just go I’ll talk to you when I get back…” my voice was still angry and I honestly didn’t know if I would talk to him or not.
“Please just hear we out!” he tried again.
“What’s left to say?” I questioned. Rian stood there silent as I waited for him to speak. “Leave Rian.” I said pointing to the door as Jack walked in holding a boner t-shirt excitedly.
“You can’t forget this!” he exclaimed looking around Rian walked by him silently. “Oh what did I miss?” he asked confused.
“Nothing, let’s finish packing please,” I said feeling tears well up in my eyes.
“Avery are you okay?” Jack asked hugging me tightly.
“He said Jack only wanted to have sex with me…” I said quietly.
“Who wouldn’t want to have sex with you?” Jack asked wiping a tear away.
“Jack!” I whined pushing him playfully.
“He cares about you Av, you know that…” Jack told me I nodded. “He loves you.”
“Well he has a funny way of showing it.” I protested why couldn’t Rian be happy for me I was happy for him.
