Ones Life

~ Chapter 1 ~

Finally, school ended. It was the December holidays! " Hey! Dude. Where you going for the holidays." Jack's friend came up to him. " Nothing much." Jack said. " I get it! Your going with your little girlfriend, Grace right?" Jack's friend, Troy asked.
" Okay, okay. You got me." Jack replied. Troy laughed and headed home. " Hey!" Grace popped up in front of Jack. " I heard your conversation with Troy." Grace giggled. " Oh boy." Jack sighed and held Grace's hand. They walked out the school together then Jack asked. " You wanna go get a smoothie??" " Maybe, yes." Grace replied. They went to a smoothie store called " Smooth Smoothies."  Jack bought a big cup of banana smoothie for both of them to share. " Wait a while, I'll go get some straws." Jack left the table. He left his phone on the table. Suddenly, he got a text from another girl called Julie. Grace read the messenger and it said, " Wish we were in the same school so we do not need to do long distance dating. Love ya😘."
When Jack came back, Grace yelled at him, " IF YOU WANNA DO LONG DISTANCE DATING WITH JULIE, THEN BREAK UP WITH ME ALREADY!!!" Grace left the table. Jack took his phone and ran after her. " Please I can explain. I just wanna have a girlfriend when we break up." He stammered. " oh yeah?!?What if we get married and have children?? You will have two wives?? Is that what your plan is?!? Huh?!?" Grace shot back.
" No actually." Jack said scratching his head. " Oh, don't try to act sorry now because we are through." Grace left ad headed home. Jack left for home too. He loved Grace so much. She was the most prettiest and the most popular girl in the school. She was hard to impress. Jack had to make it super romantic for him to start dating her. Jack looked at his phone and replied the message from Julie. " On the way." He was going to meet his other girlfriend in another country. When, Jack reached home, he went to his room and packed his things. " Where you going honey??" Jack's mom asked. " Meeting Julie." Jack asked. " Bye Mom." He said. " Okay. Come back to visit sometime and take good care of yourself." His mother replied.
" I will always." Jack took a picture frame which had his friends including Grace. " Later." Jack left. He walked to the airport as it was nearby. He boarded the plane. He got another message from Julie. " ??" Jack just smiled and put his phone in his pocket.
After a few hours he reached Julie's house. He took a deep breath. Before he rang the doorbell, he got a message from Julie. " Why don't you reply me?!? Are you cheating on me?!?"
" You'll see" he replied. He rang Julie's doorbell. " Jack!!" Julie squealed and hugged him. Jack got into the house. " Hey Jack." A boy named Zach popped out.
" I'm Zach, Julie's boyfriend." Jack looked at Julie and said,
" Your cheating on me. Aren't you." " And you!!" Jack looked and Zach. " You stole her from me. Didn't you!! Huh!!!! Speak up, or you'll suffer." Jack pushed Zach to the wall. " Jack! Stop! I thought you were cheating on me because all this time you weren't replying me and your lame excuse was you were busy with school work but it's the holiday people!" Julie yelled. " Don't you know different countries YOUNG LADY!" Jack yelled at her. Jack tied Zach's arms and legs. " And for you Julie." He whispered. He punched Julie and pasted time on both of their mouths and tied Julie up. He left Julie. He decided to fly back. He booked tickets and flew back. When he reached, he saw Grace buying good at McDonald's. She was heading to a table, until Jack saw a boy with her. The boy took out a ring and gave it to her. Grace blushed and wore the ring. " Hey!" Jack came up to them. The boy, Xander was the most popular guy in school. And will be the perfect match for Grace. " Umm.... Xander this is my ex." Grace stammered. " ohh.. Jack I remember you from school. Anyways me and Grace are dating. " Xander said. " Hope your Julie's fine with your relationship." Grace said.
" Actually, yeah it's going fine." Jack lied. " Hope you enjoy. Your uh meal with your true love. " Jack left. " Why am I embarrassing myself! It's so obvious I want Grace back." Jack whispered to himself. He just looked back at Grace and ran home. " Hey Mum." Jack said.
" Looks like in other countries days past so fast. Right??" His Mom giggled. " Yeah Yeah whatever Mom." Jack replied.
" So why did you come home?? " his mom asked. " Long story." Jack said and he headed to his room. He switched on the television and opened a bag of chips. Beep beep!! Beep beep!!! His phone rang. Jack picked it up.
" Yeah Troy what's up??" Jack asked. " Dude where are you?? Grace is hanging out with another boy near the basketball court while we were playing. The boy was Xander!! He was singing a sweet song to Grace in front of the public!!" Troy explained.
" It's none of my business no matter what. It's her life and her love. Okay??" Jack replied. "Looks like someone broke up with Grace huh. Well okay, bye."
Troy said. Jack just looked at his watch then he continued watching television.

DING DONG!!
Jack ran down the stairs and opened the door. " Hey Jack!" His younger sister said. " Hey, Hazel how was your contest??" Jack asked. " Don't mention it. You'll never believe what place I am. Where's Grace?? Aren't you suppose to umm... Give her the necklace like you told me." Hazel replied. " Yeah!" Jack ran to his room. " When will Jack remember." Hazel whispered to herself. Jack ran out to the basketball court. " Xander your Mom saw me and told me that you have to go home immediately." Jack lied. " We'll okay. Bye Grace." Xander stuck his hand in his pocket and left.
" Grace I." Jack stammered.
" Wanna g-" " No. I want to give you this necklace. It's okay of you wanna date Xander. I just forgot to give it to you. I better get going." Jack interrupted Grace and left. " Jack." Grace said. " Do you still love me??" She asked.
Jack just said, " You won't be surprised about the answer." Then Jack left. Grace looked at the necklace then looked at Jack. She thought for a while and left. Jack turned around at the same time as Grace. They looked at each other. Then Grace said, " I'll accept any answer. But do you love me??" " Well, yeah." Jack said. Grace walked up to Jack and hugged him. " We'll get together if you want soon." Grace whispered to him. Then, it started to rain.
" Bye. Take this to keep dry." Jack put his jacket on Grace. Grace and Jack headed home.
