Janie and Jack

5: You said it yourself

A month since the incident and here I am sitting at my desk, at work, planning away.

Tiffany never stopped begging me about what happened that night but I brushed her off. Jack is still with Oona and I'm still pissed.

I haven't talked to Jack for what seems like years. I miss him not the passion part of me, the friend side. I miss hearing him whine, I miss his breakfast fiasco, and I just miss him.

I think that girl really has a toll on him. Tomorrow is my birthday and he hasn't even called me up to wish me an early birthday.

"Janie?" A girl voice knocks

"Come in!"

"Hi, Oona. What a pleasant surprise, what are you doing here?" I politely say

She walks over and sits on the kids stool,"I came by to say sorry"

I am taken back,"Sorry for what?"

She sighs,"I think we got off on the wrong foot"

Oh?

"Um- is Jack here?" I place my pen down

"No he's not, I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for taking away Jack from you" she places her hands on the table

"No by all means he's something to you" I let out a small smile.

I know I love Jack but what purpose am I doing taking away his love life. I shouldn't intrude and maybe give her, Oona a chance.

"I just needed to get that off my chest"

I begin packing my things,"I get where you're coming from. Me, being really close to him has its effects but I don't want to stop you two from seeing each other"

She gets up and pats down her dress,"Ahh, thanks you, thank you, thank you!"

"You're welcome" I sling my Chanel purse on my shoulders

"O-M-G is that a Chanel purse!" She squeals and walk over and lifts the purse.

"Yeah" I mumble

"So cute! How'd you get it?"

"Just felt like spoiling myself" I lie

"Lucky gal!" She purses her lips

"Yeah, look I have to get going. Do you need a ride?"

"No, I'm good thanks Janie" she leaves the room and I lock up.

By the time I get home I slump at the bench by the shoe rack. What a day! Tomorrow is my birthday and it's finally going to be Friday! The week just keeps getting longer and longer.

"Janie? Is that you?" Jack whispers

"Jack?" I get up from the bench.

"Janieeeee" he runs to hug me. "I missed you so much! Sorry I neglected you, I should have known better!"

I hug him tighter, I miss this, I miss us. Just us.

"I miss you too Jack" I sniffle

"Don't cry Janie" he pats my hair as I clutch onto him.

It feels like home, like the old times.

"Let's go sit" he lets go of me and walks to the sofa

"How have you been Jack?" I start off

"Come on Janie! Don't be all weird" he smiles. I missed his smile.

"Okay, how are you and Oona doing?"
