Broken (a Jack Gilinsky Fanfic)

Blow ups and Confusion

"Ava it's so nice to finally meet you Jack talks about you so much." His mom said as she walked up to me and gave me a hug.
"Mom...."
"What?" she questioned. "You do talk about her all the time." she added.
"Yeah son all the time I almost feel like I've known you my whole life." His dad laughed.
"Oh my goodness this is so embarrassing...we're gonna go upstairs to my room and hangout." Jack said laughing nervously.
"Okay well it was nice meeting you Ava."
"It was nice meeting you guys too." I said smiling as Jack and I walked away.
"Sorry about my mom..." he said as we walked into his room.
"I think she's sweet." I smiled.
"Whatever." he said after rolling his eyes.
"So you talk about me?" I asked with a big smile on my face.
"No." He said as he turned his back to me.
"Oh." I mumbled.
"I'm just kidding of course I talk about you!" He said turning to face me with a huge grin on his face.
"All good things I hope." I said as I sat down on his bed.
"Well yeah all good things I have nothing bad to say about you." He replied as he sat down next to me.
"Good I don't want your parents to think poorly of me." I said looking down at my hands.
"I don't want them to think poorly of you either." he said as he put his hand on top of mine.
"Well it's nice to see we're on the same page." I said slightly smiling at him.
"Dinner's ready!" Jacks mom yelled from downstairs.
***********
"So Ava when's the last time you had a nice home cooked meal?" His mom asked.
"Ummm it's been a while my parents go on business trips a lot so it's probably been a few months."
"Well anytime your parents leave and you want a home cooked meal you come on over."
"Thank you." I replied slightly smiling.
The rest of dinner consisted of embarrassing stories from Jack's childhood and his mom trying to play matchmaker and failing epically.
************
"So did you like dinner?" Jack asked as we walked to his car.
"Yeah it was good your parents are really nice." I replied.
He laughed. "Eh they're okay." He said before opening my door.
The whole drive home was silent not like the awkward type but the comfortable type. When we pulled into my driveway we sat for a couple a seconds before Jack finally spoke.
"So I could come over tomorrow if you want."
"Oh I can't tomorrow I told Sam and Nate I would hang with them and catch up."
"Oh alright well maybe later this week we can plan something." He said hopefully.
"Yeah maybe." I smiled as I got out of the car and shut the door.
When I got inside I went upstairs, took my makeup off and hopped in bed today was nerve racking and exhausting I just want to sleep.
*************
The next morning I woke up to the sound of my doorbell repeatedly ringing so I ran downstairs to see who it was.
"She's probably still sleeping." I could hear Sam say.
"Yeah but is she sleeping here or at Jack's?" I heard Nate make a snarky comment he was clearly irritated.
"No I slept at my own house you asshole." I said as I opened the door before he could say anything else.
"Oh hey Ava." Nate said as he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck.
"Don't hey me you know how I am what would make you think I slept over at Jack's house."
"Well it's not my fault you guys are always together; sometimes I wonder what you're not telling us." He said before shrugging his shoulders.
"What the hell Nate?!" Sam yelled.
"It's the truth you don't tell us anything anymore and you're always with him it's like you completely dropped us!" He yelled causing me to back away from him in fear. Nate never yelled at me he hardly ever raised his voice at me.
"Dude..." Sam said realizing how scared I was.
"What?!" Nate yelled at him causing me jump a little.
"Calm down you're scaring her." Sam said in a stern voice.
"Oh I'm scaring her?!" He yelled as he pointed his finger at me. "I don't care Sam you said it yourself Gilinsky took our place she doesn't need us anymore!" He shouted not breaking eye contact with me.
I was in shock I didn't know what to say he never spoke to me like this.
"Gilinsky did not take your place..." I quietly whimpered.
"Bullshit Ava you're always together for the past month and a half you've blown us off for him any time we ask to hang out it's oh no I can't I made plans with Jack maybe next week... you talked so much shit about Amber not coming around because of Mike but now look at you; you go off and get a boyfriend and forget all about us and everything we've done for you!"
"He's not my boyfriend."
"Oh he isn't?" He said getting so calm it was scarier than him yelling at me. "Well pardon me I couldn't tell by the way you're constantly up his ass!" He said getting louder and louder. "It's really pathetic actually and the sad part is you don't even know that he's the biggest fuckboy to ever come through Omaha!!"
"That's not true." I managed to choke out through my tears.
"What's it matter to you? It's not like you're dating him anyways." He said with harshness in his voice.
"Leave." I blankly said.
"What?" He questioned as if he'd done nothing wrong.
"Get out!" I yelled at him.
"Bye, come on Sam." He said as he turned away from Sammy and I.
Sam didn't move he just watched as Nate walked away.
"I'm staying here with Ava." Sammy said causing Nate to stop and turn around.
He didn't say anything at first he just shook his head.
"Wow Sam fuck you, fuck both of you!" He said before getting in his car and driving off.
"What just happened??" I whispered to myself.
"I am so sorry Ava I knew he was on edge but I didn't think he'd blow up on you like that." Sam said as he gave me a hug.
"I don't understand I told Jack I couldn't hangout because I wanted to be alone with you guys..." I managed to say through my sobs.
"Ava everything is going to be okay."
"Sam you saw him he hates me." I said crying even more at the thought.
" He doesn't hate you he loves you...you're best friends he's just upset."
"Sam he has never spoken to me like that in my entire life the things he said there was nothing but hatred in his voice." I said.
"Come on let's go sit in the couch." He said as he grabbed my hand.
After he sat down he patted his lap for me to lay my head in it.
"Is it true?" I asked as Sam ran his fingers through my hair.
"Is what true?"
"Is he really a player?"
"Ava.."
"Sam please tell me the truth." I said as I sat up to look at him.
He studied my face for what seemed like forever before finally answering me.
"Yes I didn't want to say anything but he's known for sleeping around the boy has a bad reputation"
"You have got to be shitting me..."
"I'm sorry Ava I didn't want to tell you because you seemed like you liked him a lot."
"I do like him, I like him so much Sammy and this is what I was afraid of, I knew that something like this was bound to happen."
"I'm so sorry..."
" No it's fine don't be sorry."
"Just talk to him maybe he's changed."
"Guys like that don't just change Sam."
" I just didn't want you angry with me if I told you."
"Sam I could never be mad at you you're my best friend." I said as I pulled him in for a hug.
"So icecream?" He said as he arched an eyebrow.
"Icecream." I said with a grin.
"We have to take your car though because I wasn't expecting Nate to blow up the way he did and we took his car here."
"Oh yeah no problem." I said as I grabbed my keys.
**************
"So what have you been up to?" Sam asked as we sat down with our ice cream.
"Apparently I've had my head up Gilinsky's ass." I said sarcastically.
"No foreal." Sam laughed.
"Literally nothing just waiting on my parents to come home."
"Oh well I've been hanging out with Johnson, Nate, and Big Mike."
"Hmm fun I guess." I quietly said.
"Yeah it would be if you were there." He shrugged.
"Definitely not happening now after what happened with Nate." I mumbled.
" I really am sorry Ava..."
"It's not your fault Sam." I defended.
After about ten more minutes of catching up I took Sam home and made my way back to my house . When I got home I went up to my room and let everything out all I wanted to do was lay in bed and cry for the rest of the night. Nate is like my brother he's my best friend I love him I just don't understand how it went from that to this after everything we've been through after everything we've shared with each other...
After what felt like hours of me crying my phone started ringing I checked to see who it was it was Jack just the person I needed right now. I forwarded the call and hopped in the shower without a second thought; if what Sam and Nate say about him is true I need to distance myself as much as possible. Which is going to be hard considering we sit next to each other in English.
When I finished my shower I threw on some spandex and a t-shirt then I went back to my bathroom and dug through my medicine cabinet for my antidepressants so I could calm down and sleep without thinking about everything. When I got back to my room my phone had just stopped buzzing I check to see what it was. I had five missed calls from Jack and a bunch of texts from him that read:
"Ava answer the phone..."
"Are you mad at me?"
"Why aren't you answering my phone calls?!"
" What the fuck Ava?"
"What did I do?"
"Please answer the phone..."
And so on and so on. After Jack finally stopped calling and texting I went to sleep.
The next morning I woke up got a shower and brushed my teeth before throwing on a black crew neck some skinny jeans and my red converse. I threw my hair in a bun and grabbed my bag and keys. When I pulled into the school parking lot I sat there for a little bit contemplating going back home; this is the first day I've been to school since what happened with Brock. I was just about to start the car back up when I heard a tap at the window I turned to see Sammy looking back at me and all I could do was cry. When Sam saw this he acted fast opening the door to the car and pulling me in for a hug.
"I can't do this Sam." I sobbed.
"Yes you can if you don't he wins your are going to get through this." He said as he pulled away to look me in the eye.
"I have no one left but you and Amber Nate doesn't want anything to do with me and I've been ignoring Gilinsky all night and all morning."
"I will be with you all day Ava I'll walk you to all of your classes and I'll go to your house after school and we can hangout together." He said trying to convince me to go inside.
"Okay I'll go..." I said as I got out of the car.
"Okay come on." He said as he draped his arm around my shoulder and walked with me to my class. The whole time we were walking to the building I kept my head down not making eye contact with anyone. Once I got to Spanish Sam kind of dropped me of with Amber who made sure that we had a seat next to each other .
"How are you?" She asked as we sat down.
"It'll get better right? It has to get better." I said with tears in my eyes threatening to fall.
"Yes things will get better this is just a rough patch you're going through."
"More like rough life" I thought to myself.
After class Amber and Sam walked with me to history. That class kind of went by really fast despite my mood today.
Now it's time for English the class I've been dreading all morning.
"Sam I can't go in there." I said as we walked down the hallway.
"I'm in there with you nothing is going to happen."
As soon as we walked through the door there they were Nate and Gilinsky...great.
