Be My First 3 - Tying Ends

13. It's All Here.

After showering and getting ready, I put on some skinny jeans with black sandals to match my tight black tee shirt.

Soon enough, I was on my way to Carbana's- a restaurant Madison and I had agreed on.

I had on my engagement ring and watched it glow in the sunbeams that came into my car as I drove. I wonder what Madison thinks about this. I'm still nervous about what she's going to tell me.

When I arrived, I parked next to her car and then walked inside.

"Hi, do you have reservations?" A woman with a tight bun on the top of her head asked.

"Yeah, I'm with Madison Beer." I said, hoping she knew where she was.

"Oh, yes! Right this way." She led me to the back of the restaurant, were I could see Madison sitting in the corner scrolling through her phone. Her black sunglasses were rested on the top of her curled dark hair, and she was wearing exactly what I was wearing.

"Hi!" Madison looked up.

"Hey." I smiled, sitting down.

"Would you two like anything to drink?" She asked. I looked at the menu that was on my side of the table. "Umm, just some peach tea please." I said.

"Same for me." Madison said.
...Okay..

"Okay, I'll be back with 2 of those." She walked away.

"We're like wearing the same thing." Madison laughed, looking at what I was wearing.

"I noticed that! We just have really good style." I laughed.

"We do." She smiled. "So, the entire reason I brought you here was so I could confess something to you." She said.

I nodded. "What is it?"

"I just- I don't think you're going to be very happy." She sighed, looking right at me.

"Just tell me." I shrugged. I have no problem. If she admits to doing something with Jack, I'll just punch her in the face with my ring and go to the hospital and do the exact same to him.

"So, I got a call from Don Reeds, you know him?" She asked.

"Oh, yeah. Of course. I work for him!" I said.

"You do?! Wow. Well, he had a company call me for a photoshoot, it's like a job so I had to be like, interviewed for it. I guess I just happened to say that I knew you and you'd do the photoshoot with me..." She looked at the menu. "That's the only reason they even hired me to do the shoot. I panicked because they didn't seem very interested but once I mentioned you they immediately said yes. I'm sorry.. It was dumb." She said.

"So what's the problem?" I smiled.

She looked at me, a bit confused. "Well, like, I didn't even ask you to do it. I just said you would.."

"Well of course I'll do it!" I said. "You totally could've asked me before hand and I would've said yes too." I shrugged.

"Oh, I didn't think you'd want to! You'd really do it with me?" She asked.

"Sure, I mean when was the interview and when's the shoot scheduled for and for who?"

"Well the interview was about 2 days ago and it's for Brandy Melville next week just in LA. So you actually want to?" She looked at me.

"Totally! All you had to do was ask. I love Brandy Melville. It'll be fun." I smiled.

"I'm so relieved!" She laughed.

Jack's POV:

"Why were you guys being so weird?" Jack looked at me.

"I don't know." I shrugged. "She told me what happened with you two. Took you two long enough to tell me. I'm surprised you had no problem keeping it a secret." I glared at him.

"What was I suppose to do? Tell you first before Paige had the chance, and ruin your guys' relationship?"

I stood up and walked over to him, my finger pointing in his face. "You don't fucking kiss my fiancé, that's what you do." I clenched my jaw.

Jack held his hands up in defense for a short moment. "It was a mistake."

"Shut up Jack. You know it wasn't." My heart was pounding. I guess it isn't exactly acceptable to punch someone that's in a hospital bed.

"Why are you so heated?! You were fine this morning!" He defended.

"I was fine until Paige woke up and I saw you looking at her. I don't even want you thinking about her anymore." I snatched.

"Not trying to be a dick, but the kiss went both ways." He shrugged.

I shook my head in such anger that I've never felt before. "Fuck you. Move out."  I forcefully grabbed my phone from the table and stormed out of the room, leaving him by himself.

Paige's POV:

After talking with Madison for a bit and setting up our times for the photoshoot, I went back to the house and made myself a sandwich. Before I could even leave to go back to the hospital, Jack came through the door.

"Hey." I waved from the chair in the kitchen. I looked at him as he slammed the door and walked down the hallway, into our room, slamming that door as well.

Well.. Alright. Slowly, I got up and walked to our room. I knocked before entering. He was laying on the bed, facing the wall.

"What was that about?" I asked.

No reply. I sat on the bed.

"Jack. What's wrong?" I asked. I think I already know, but I want to talk about it.

No reply.

"So what, you gonna give me the silent treatment until our wedding?" I rubbed his shoulder.

Immediately, he sat up and glared at me. "Why the hell would I marry someone that cheats on me?"
